The Honda CR-V: A Family Vehicle with Added Flash 

Perfect if: You’re looking for a family SUV with exceptional safety capabilities.

For many years, the minivan was hailed as the ideal family vehicle. However, crossovers, offering ample space and cargo capabilities as well as advanced safety, are now strong contenders for the very same distinction. The Honda CR-V has been lauded as an excellent family SUV with homey comforts and a bevy of intelligent technologies at its disposal. If you’re looking for a ride for errands, family vacations, and daily commutes, this SUV will ensure your day-to-day satisfaction.

  RIDE & HANDLING

The new design is lightweight and has low centre of gravity. It's more solid than ever, due to a brand-new chassis, it’s the most advanced ever created for a CR-V. Refinement and performance will provide a smoother, more comfortable ride, anywhere you go.

  COMFORT & CONVENIENCE

With a longer wheelbase than its predecessor, this new CR-V feels sometimes more like a home than a car and the new 7-seat option transforms short trips into a bonding experience for the passengers.


The new design of the CR-V offers way more space for you and your passengers, for a smoother and more comfortable ride. The longer wheelbase enlarges the passenger compartment and luggage capacity. The distance between the first and the second row of seats has increased. The brand new 7 seat option makes this new CR-V a real family car but it still has a sporty yet sophisticated design.

  POWER TAILGATE WITH PROGRAMMABLE HEIGHT

The power tailgate with programmable height allows you to decide at which point you'd like it to stop opening. It's perfect for garages and tight parking spaces. This feature also works when your hands are full of groceries and you want to use your foot to open it. There's a "stop-and-hold function" so the tailgate can be stopped at any position, avoiding any unfortunate scratches or dents.

The Honda CR-V Hybrid: NEW HYBRID PERFORMANCEf

To feel safer, the CR-V possesses a brand new system with passive and active safety. Using both radars and cameras, Honda SENSING keeps you safe, no matter what.

  I-MMD HYBRID TECHNOLOGY

Featuring an intelligent Multi-Mode Drive (i-MMD), it combines a 2.0 litre i-VTEC petrol engine with two electric motors to give effortless driveability you will enjoy every day. The CR-V Hybrid selects the optimum mode to always provide a responsive, efficient drive. It has an Atkinson-type, 2.0-litre petrol engine and two electric motors – one electric propulsion motor and one electric generator motor enabling it to perform in petrol, electric or hybrid modes. The CR-V, rather than using a conventional transmission, is built with a single fixed-gear ratio giving the driver a seamless flow of power and confidence – it is the hybrid you can feel.


The intelligent Multi-Mode Drive always delivers high performance and efficiency.

i-MMD technology ensures the car always uses its energy in the most efficient way. This means CR-V Hybrid seamlessly alternates between its three power modes: Electric Drive, Hybrid Drive or Engine Drive. When setting off in Electric Drive the car emits an acoustic alert - it is that quiet - and under certain driving conditions, if you wish, you can manually extend the Electric Drive period by pressing the fascia-mounted EV Mode button. If a greater dynamic feel is desired, the Sport Mode provides a more engaged driving experience.

When combined with the all-new suspension system and Honda’s latest all-wheel drive technology – ‘Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™’ – means the CR-V Hybrid possesses an enhanced all-terrain performance.
