After all the hype surrounding this year's Super Bowl, including a Honda commercial featuring Matthew Broderick, we hope that you've had a chance to check out the 2012 Honda CR-V. This year's model is truly dynamic, offering practical solutions for a diverse range of day-to-day driving needs. For the adventurer in you, the CR-V features all-terrain performance and a spacious, high-tech interior. For the family-oriented driver, the CR-V features innovative storage features and category-leading cargo space. What are you waiting for? Here is all you need to know about the brand-new CR-V, available now at Planet Honda.
To outfit yourself for adventure in any vehicle, the first thing you need to be sure of is adequate performance. The CR-V features a 2.4-Liter, 4-cylinder engine that's good for 185 horsepower. The engine is responsive, and the Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™ ensures a responsive, smooth ride on all terrains. During those inevitable uphill battles that every trip throws at you, Hill Start Assist gets you going on steepest of inclines and takes the strain off of your transmission.
Matthew Broderick wasn't the only star of the new ad; the CR-V features a new look that's difficult to ignore. Honda has redesigned front bumper and grille and gave the CR-V sporty new accents. 17-inch alloy wheels come standard on the CR-V, rounding out an athletic look that exudes the spirit of adventure.
Inside, Honda has equipped the drive with all they need to navigate their new adventure safely and conveniently. The 2012 CR-V features the innovative new Intelligent Multi-Information Display (i-MID). The i-MID displays current fuel economy, estimated driving range, now playing information for your music, optional text message display and available Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation. You can even customize the background of the screen with your own images.
On the practical side, the CR-V provides all of the storage capacity you need. This is much thanks to split-folding rear seats that go flat with a simple pull of a lever, reachable from rear tailgate for easy access. Folding the seat down creates an additional 70 cubic feet of storage space in the cabin, more than enough to accommodate luggage, groceries or camping gear. Whatever your stowing, the retractable cargo cover keeps your wares secure and out of plain sight.
Safety has always been a premium for Honda, and this year is no different. The CR-V is equipped with Advanced Compatibility Engineering, a system that is specifically designed to disperse frontal crash force over the surface area of the vehicle in crash situations, thus lessening impact on each passenger. Vehicle stability assist actively monitors oversteer and understeer, applying and reducing brake pressure when needed to retain complete control for the driver. Tire Pressure Monitoring actively gauges tire pressure, warning the driver when it's time to fill up the tires.
