'07 Honda CR-V

The 2007 Honda CR-V has quickly become America’s number-one best-selling sport utility vehicle by out-selling every competing sport utility vehicle on the market.

The engine for the 2007 Honda CR-V has been enhanced, sporting a 2.4L V-TEC equipped Inline-4 featuring 166HP and 161FTLB of torque as well as attaining an EPA-estimated 23MPG around the city and 30mpg on the highway.

The 2007 Honda CR-V comes in either a front-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive variant coupled to a standard 5-speed automatic transmission routing power to 103” wheel-base tires.

The spare tire has been relocated from the hatch-door and now is located beneath the rear of the vehicle to help lower the center of gravity and provide much better aerodynamics than previously seen on the Honda CR-V.

'06 Honda CR-V

The 2006 Honda CR-V received a few improvements in styling and comfort levels. Critics of the 2006 CR-V have to admit that this is an exceptional vehicle that is practically flawless. These reviews help to maintain Honda’s superb reputation for quality, reliability and performance.

Like its 2005 counterpart, the 2006 Honda CR-V is provided with an all-wheel drive in all of its models. The LX trim level, like its 2005 version again, is provided with an alternative front-wheel drive.

The base four-cylinder engine of the CR-V has a respectable horsepower output of 156hp. All models have an automatic five-speed transmission system that was first introduced in the 2005 model. The EX trim has an option for manual transmission as well.

'05 Honda CR-V

The 2005 Honda CR-V has had many improvements introduced since its previous model years. Both the styling and the powertrain receive ample upgrades in this model. The prospects for this compact SUV appear to be quite promising for the 2005 model year, considering that it has most of the features to be an ideal family vehicle.

An improved automatic transmission was introduced with the 2005 CR-V, this time with the option of a five-speed transmission or the existing four-speed transmission. All models are provided with I-4 engines. All models are provided with an all-wheel drive feature, excepting the LX trim, which is the only version to have a front-wheel drive.

The 2005 Honda CR-V now has front-side airbags as a standard feature to improve its safety. With the cargo floor at the rear designed to convert into a picnic table, this vehicle is ideal for a family outing in the countryside.
