The Honda CR-V has been updated with an all-new model and it is now larger and more powerful than before. The fourth generation SUV comes new mechanical and digital instruments that enhance the simplicity of driving it.
In detail, the CR-V is offered with multiple engine options. There is the 2L petrol, 1.6L diesel and the 2.2L diesel engines. We got behind the wheel of the latter and it offers some splendid statistics.
The 2.2L diesel CR-V retails at £30,995. It runs on the i-DTEC engine system and the 4WD architecture. This generates 150hp and 258lb-fts of torque, which also returns 48mpg. The car is able to sprint from 0-62mph in 9.7 seconds and there is a top speed of 118mph.
The most important part of the CR-V is its interior. Everything is super spacious and perfect for a family. The leather wraps the soft cushion which gives off a comfort that is normally found on luxury vehicles. Also, there are tons of features that come with the CR-V light floor lights, cup holders, power sockets, automatic levers and many more. In short, the SUV is the best translation of a moving living room.
There is just one flaw with the CR-V and that is its driving experience. It is just too boring to drive the CR-V. In fact, this is the problem with most Honda vehicles today due to their automated systems that killed the thrill. We truly miss the days where the VTEC engines ruled the streets.
