At the end of September shows Honda on that Paris autosalon the new CR-V. More sportily and more approximately the new one is to arise and to continue with it the success of the predecessors. Nevertheless the Japanese could into that so far to eleven years construction period scarcely two and a half million vehicles under the people bring. Large Fussstapfen, into which the new one steps.

Despite the stately feature the third generation of the Japanese SUV does not work klobig. Above all the window front tapered to the tail lends the necessary breath sportyness to it. Optically the CR-V is stretched by a pronounced edge, which rises at the large headlights and ends only in the rear lights.

The tail lamps pulled into the length are rather unusual for a SUV. They remind strongly of Volvo. The front against it is thoroughly independent. A large air intake and the powerful, coloured set off front apron let strotzen Honda before Kraft.
Practical entrance

Larger doors and lower Türschweller than with the predecessor facilitate the admission for the passengers. Voluminösere armchair in the first row are besides the comfort to increase. Generally speaking trunk even two Mountainbikes are to find problem-free to place with put up back bank. With a second load soil the Gepäckabteil can be divided beyond that into two floors.

Front, side and Kopfairbags as well as ESP (called with Honda VSA) and trailer stabilization the program TSA are standard in the CR-V. The latter supervises continuously driving stability when pulling large loads. The new one may nevertheless attach up to two tons.

More highly in the buyer favour the 2.2 litres large self fuzes might be. 2005 as „engine OF the Year “celebrated, carry 140 HP strong Diesels out a respectable torque of 340 Newtonmeters. It is available however only with a manual six-course transmission.

Improved handling

For constant propulsion the standard all wheel system DPS (dual pumping system) provides. If necessary the power transmission is connected automatically to the rear axle. Owing to the sinking of the emphasis around 35 millimeters, which broader trace and larger wheels (17-Zoll are series) are themselves the handling characteristics noticeably to have improved.
