Car of the Week: Honda CR-V
Model
The new model offers a more spacious interior layout. The all new premium Dual Tone Sienna Beige Interiors with leather upholstery make the inside of Honda CR-V comforting and a class apart. One of the most significant new interior features in the CR-V is the One Motion Dive down Rear Seats which helps in increasing the cargo area in the car and is much more convenient than the traditional manual folding seats. Each side of the rear seat can automatically fold full flat into the front of the cargo area using one of the small levers located near the tailgate or a pull-strap positioned on the rear seat side.
Beyond its new versatile packaging, the CR-V demonstrates new attention to the in-vehicle experience, with sophisticated instrumentation and a standard full-color, 5-inch “intelligent” Multi-Information Display (i-MID)that offers a smart interface via fingertip controls on the steering wheel communicating Fuel Consumption, providing Audio/ HFT (in 2.4L AVN grade) status display and rear camera display during parking. One can also customize the screen to set their favourite wallpaper. The intelligent AVN system with 6.1” touch screen offered in 2.4L (AVN) variant features turn by turn Navigation, DVD/ CD player, iPOD, USB, Blue Tooth®/ Hands-free Telephone connectivity and a rear camera display.
The new CR-V comes with the introduction of a new ECON button which increases the potential for drivers to improve the vehicle’s fuel efficiency when the system is activated by adjusting the performance of the engine, transmission, air conditioning system and cruise control. With a view to encourage fuel efficient driving, the CR-V’s Eco Assist system has a built-in Ambient meter that changes colour in response to driving style. The illuminated arcs are located in the upper instrument panel on either side of the speedometer that show if the vehicle is being driven in an efficient style. The Green light means a more efficient driving style while the white color signifies inefficient driving.
