  • See How Honda Have Updated the 2015 CR-V

    A good start in 2015 for Honda CR-V! The car got some comprehensive updates that make it even more attractive. There is a new diesel engine and nine-speed automatic gearbox that aim to deliver great fuel economy. In addition, Honda has added a new technology, which is a world-first that comes to enhance occupant safety. There is an innovative app-driven connectivity system, which is now standard. And in terms of driving fun, the CR-V got reengineered. Of course, the designers did made some minor styling changes to the exterior.

    First, the CR-V is offered with a more powerful diesel engine as well as an optional nine-speed automatic transmission. Furthermore, the new 160 PS 1.6-litre i-DTEC four-cylinder diesel engine will be available with four-wheel drive. The result: outstanding performance and low CO2 emissions.

    The combination of both – new engine and nine-speed gearbox, will deliver exceptional fuel economy, which you can see in details below. Just to spoil it a bit: it is one of the best power-to-consumption ratio of any engine on sale today.

    Honda Connect infotainment system is the second highlight in the list with updates. It will offer convenience and connectivity while on the road. Its key characteristics include DAB / FM / AM and internet radio, Bluetooth connectivity, internet browsing, satellite navigation and rear-view parking camera.

    World-first active safety feature will also be a highlight in the facelifted CR-V. In fact, the car will premiere Honda’s new Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control (i-ACC) system as part of company’s commitment to ‘Safety for Everyone’. The system predicts and automatically reacts to other vehicles that are ‘cutting-in’ to the vehicle’s lane.

    i-ACC does this via the use of camera and a radar to sense the position of other vehicles on the road. Combined with the enhanced suspension and optimised NVH measures, the new CR-V will definitely deliver more refined yet dynamic drive.

    2015 Honda CR-V Facelift will be distributed only in Europe and is scheduled to arrive in showrooms this Spring.

  • 2015 Honda CR-V Gets New Powertrain and New Technology

    Bolder and sportier than ever, the new 2015 Honda CR-V comes with a refreshed style, enhanced engine line-up and new technologies all of which contribute to the remarkable road presence of the car.

    Thanks to the new 1.6-litre i-DTEC four-cylinder diesel engine, from Honda’s Earth Dreams Technologyseries, the power of the four-wheel drive CR-V is boosted to 160 PS while the maximum torque is that of 350 Nm. There is a choice of two transmissions: a six-speed manual that produces a class-leading sub 130g/km of CO2 emissions, or a new nine-speed automatic transmission. The latter emits less than 135 g/km of CO2.

    The two-wheel drive diesel CR-V is powered by the 120 PS 1.6 litre i-DTEC engine with emissions as low as 115 g/km. Nevertheless, the 2.0-litre i-VTEC petrol engine which develops 155 PS is still available.

    Some of the most visible alterations are seen on the front due to the restyled headlamps flowing into the new grille. What is more, the appearance of the CR-V is further improved thanks to the new bumper and skid plate. The LED combination lamps at the rear have been reworked too and now provide the 2015 Honda CR-V with “a more fluid, three-dimensional appearance.”

    In terms of technology, European buyers will take advantage of the first use of Honda Connect which represents the company‘s innovative new app-driven infotainment system. It includes: internet access, nine pre-installed apps – as well as access to the Honda App Center – optional Garmin satellite navigation, audio display, AM/FM/DAB and internet radio, phone interface and Bluetooth connectivity. Finally, it offers a rear-view parking camera with functional guidelines, as well as vehicle information like trip meter, fuel economy and journey time.

  • 2015 Honda CR-V Makes European Debut Tomorrow

    2015-Honda-CR-V-THUMBSwindon-built 2015 Honda CR-V has new looks to show and it will do that at the Paris Motor Show, which starts tomorrow. The iconic for the brand SUV gets more powerful 1.6 litre i-DTEC diesel engine from the Earth Dreams Technology series, which generates 160 horsepower (118 kW) and 350 Nm (258 lb-ft). The unit will be mated with a nine-speed automatic transmission, thus delivering reduced emissions and improved fuel economy.

    The refreshed model has brand new features such as the headlamps, front grille, fog lights, skid-plate and bumper. At the back of the car, the CR-V gets new LED combination lamps, a refreshed tailgate design and bumper.

    Furthermore, the aforementioned engine will be hidden under the hood of the four-wheel drive model. This powertrain delivers outstanding performance and low CO2 emissions, and comes to substitute the previous 2.2 litre i-DTEC diesel.

    When the unit is coupled with a six-speed manual transmission the CR-V emits below 130 g/km of CO2. Even more: when the engine is matched to the new nine-speed automatic transmission, the CO2 emissions of less than 135 g/km. This rating is up to 20% better than the previous generation.

    The two-wheel drive diesel CR-V will be equipped with the well-known 120 hp (88 kW) PS 1.6 litre i-DTEC diesel engine, and when coupled with the manual transmission it will emit just 117 g/km of CO2.

    The official reveal of the model will happen tomorrow, at Honda’s stand at the Paris Motor Show during a press conference.

  • Honda Previews 2015 CR-V

    2015-Honda-CR-V-THUMB2015 Honda CR-V is to receive new, more aggressive and bolder appearance through its significant enhancements. The SUV will go on sale on 1st of October, while the complete information about it will be available on 30th of September. The photo you see above is the official image which Honda has just released prior the full reveal.

    Judging by it we see some new LEDs as well as sleeker, redesigned fog lamps with chrome surrounds on the front bumper. Other changes on the model feature mirrors with integrated turning signals and brand new alloy wheels.

    Moreover, the updated small SUV also include triple chrome horizontal bars. This brings the CR-V’s front fascia in line with Honda’s latest models. The grille now comprises of a large black bar, while the aforementioned LED driving lights, are bridged by the chrome edges of the grille. It is visible that there has been some work done regarding the lower bumper, which now includes matte dark gray black cladding surrounding the lower section.

    We also hope to see that there will be some changes made to the rear as well as to the interior. Honda hasn’t released any specification or technical data. Therefore, if there isn’t any changes to the engine range from the last year, this means that the future 2015 CR-V will be driven by 2.4L powerplant, producing 185 hp (136 kW) and 220 Nm (163 lb-ft). The power will be send to the wheels via five-speed automatic.
