The Honda CR-V returns for the 2014 model year as one of the most fun and functional compact SUVs. With its upscale styling, excellent fuel efficiency and its impressive list of standard convenience features, the 2014 Honda CR-V remains the smartest choice in its segment. The CR-V provides car-like interior comfort, a smooth, quiet ride and innovative features, making it a great fit for families or anyone with an active lifestyle. The CRV’s are made in Japan.
The Honda CR-V has earned a host of favorable ratings including a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) 5-star overall vehicle score1 and a 2013 Top Safety Pick designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). It has also garnered awards and accolades from Edmunds.com, Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com, U.S. News & World Report and others. The CR-V finished 2012 as the best-selling SUV in America.
The CR-V model lineup carries over for 2014 starting with the remarkably well-equipped CR-V options such as one-pull fold-flat rear seats, cruise control, Bluetooth® HandsFreeLinkâ„¢, air conditioning, rear-view camera, 160-watt 4-speaker audio system with Pandora® and more.
Body-The CR-V’s highly rigid unit-body is designed to contribute to high fuel efficiency and vehicle safety while enhancing interior quietness. All CR-V models feature an exterior expanded-view driver’s mirror that adds an additional 5.5 degrees of visibility at the outer edge of the mirror’s field of view which can assist the driver in detecting other vehicles or road conditions that they might not otherwise see in a conventional mirror.
Versatile Interior — here is plenty of space to stretch out in the CR-V’s roomy five passenger interior and there’s also abundant storage including a large center console. When it comes to utility, the innovative easy fold-down 60/40 split rear seatback can be quickly folded using release levers located near the tailgate opening or via a pull-strap accessible from each rear door.
The CR-V features sophisticated instrumentation that includes a standard full-colour “intelligent” Multi-Information Display (i-MID) that offers a range of customisable features via fingertip controls on the steering wheel. A multi-angle rearview camera standard on all models provides a choice of three different views on the i-MID.
Comprehensive Safety — As standard equipment, every CR-V incorporates a VSA electronic stability control system; ABS with Brake Assist; driver and front-passenger airbags; side-curtain airbags with roll-over sensor; front-side airbags with a passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS); and a front seat design that can help reduce the severity of neck injury in the event of a rear collision. An Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure helps make the CR-V highly effective at absorbing and dispersing the energy of a frontal crash.
Responsive Chassis — With its front MacPherson strut and rear multi-link fully independent suspension, the CR-V chassis is designed to maximize driving enjoyment, passenger comfort and confidence. All CR-V models feature motion-adaptive Electric Power Steering (EPS) that works with the standard VSA and EPS to detect instability in slippery road conditions and automatically initiate steering wheel inputs that prompt the driver to steer in the correct direction.
