  • 2012 Honda CR-V Commercial for Super Bowl XLVI [VIDEO]

    More sneak peaks on exciting and creative commercials are revealed today. This time the spotlights are on the all-new 2012 Honda CR-V. In the advertisement is starring the award-winning actor Matthew Broderick. He acts in the campaign which promotes and supports the launch of the all-new Honda CR-V. It also encourages the active audience transitioning between their twenties and their thirties to conquer their aspirations by completing their own “Leap List.” It’s no secret that the CR- is a pillar vehicle in the Honda lineup, but the goal of the ad is to bring to it even more fun and youthfulness, which are inherent to the brand.

    To go further into details, Broderick is playing himself while drawing on his well-known coming-of-age character, which the CR-V target audience grew up watching. More importantly, the commercial reminds viewers to go out and embrace life by doing whatever you want to do and not just the things included in the “have to” list.

    Honda has introduced the new 2012 CR-V at the LA Motor Show. The new CR-V is compact on the outside and roomy inside. It represents an ideal balance for size and capability in the entry SUV segment by offering five seats, smooth and quite ride and even more innovative features than the previous model.

    2012 Honda CR-V is powered by a 2.4 liter i-VTEC four-cylinder petrol engine with 188PS (138 kW) and 221Nm (163 lb-ft) of torque. It is mated to a 5-speed automatic gearbox. The engine also offers best-in-class fuel economy – 22 mpg in the city, 30 mpg on the highway and 25 mpg on combined cycle – for AWD version.

    The new CR-V standard equipment includes an Easy Fold-Down 60/40 Split Rear Seat, a Bluetooth HandsFreeLink phone interface, a full-color intelligent Multi-Information Display (i-MID) and a multi-angle rearview camera with guidelines.

    As a first for Honda, every 2012 CR-V includes an SMS text messaging function, which can read received texts from compatible cell phones aloud over the audio system. Another first is the introduction of a Pandora Internet Radio interface3, compatible with the Apple iPhone, which works with the vehicle’s audio controls and i-MID.

    There are three trim levels – LX, EX and EX-L. The standard safety equipment features an electronic stability control system; an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Brake Assist; side-curtain airbags; front-side airbags with a passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS); and a front seat design that can help reduce the severity of neck injury in the event of a rear collision.

    2012 Honda CR-V will hit the US market on December 15.

    Honda has released a first image of the new CR-V Concept. This is the fourth-generation CR-V, which is set to go on sale in the United States by the end of 2011, and in Europe in Autumn 2012.

    2012 Honda CR-V boasts a distinctive and bold styling direction including a more aggressive stance with deeper sculpting of the body lines and a bolder front fascia. The lower front bumper wraps smartly upward to convey SUV capability, while the overall lower front bumper design now integrates more smoothly into the fascia for improved aerodynamics.

    The new CR-V will have more powerful and efficient engines and better equipment.

    The CR-V is one of the top-selling SUVs, sold in more than 160 countries throughout Europe, Asia, North America, South America and Africa.

    The car will be exhibited at the Orange County International Auto Show in Anaheim, California, in September 2011.
