Honda CR-V 2012

the new Honda CR-V its predecessor. The overall length has reduced by 25mm and the height has gone down by 35mm. The new version is also 36kgs lighter and the wheelbase is identical at 2,620mm. Honda claims over 60 per cent of parts have been designed ground up for the new CRV. Changes have been made to the chassis, suspension and the drivetrain to improve performance, rigidity and reduce fuel consumption.
The engine is the same 2.4-litre i-VTEC that has been around for ages albeit with a few improvements and a slightly increased power and torque output. Honda claims a 5.4 per cent reduction in internal friction and a more efficient alternator. Maximum power is 188bhp at 7,000rpm compared to 180bhp at 6,800 rpm of the older version. Maximum torque is 221Nm at 4,400rpm, which is mere 3Nm more than it’s predecessor. Transmission is a reworked version of the existing 5-speed automatic and a six speed would have helped in increasing the overall mileage.
The new CR-V is equipped with standard safety features such as dual-stage airbags for the front passengers while top of the line EX variant gets side and curtain airbags. Hill start assist, traction control, ABS and EBD also come standard on all models. Camera assisted reverse is available in the EX and the EX Leather variants.
