Some images may show international specifications.
From boulevard, to bach, to beach and back again, CRV has the credentials to take the rough with the smooth.
The striking side profile reflects its sports heritage, and details like the bold grille, projector style headlamps and
clean tail light pattern give other motorists something to admire as you appear in their rear-view mirror and then
sweep on by. The CRV brings a whole new level of sophistication to Sport Utility Vehicles.
The off-road vehicle that feels as smooth as it looks.
In keeping with Honda tradition, Honda is breaking with all tradition.
Whoever said an SUV had to be square? In another example of true ‘outside the box’ thinking, CRV combines both
drivability and utility with technology and simplicity. From the handsome wide stance, firmly centered on big alloy
wheels, to the lift-up tailgate and innovative new split-level load space in the rear, CRV is as stylish as it is practical.
A layout to suit your lifestyle.
The whole interior of the CRV was designed with a philosophy, blending
SUV practicality with car-like levels of comfort and sophistication.
From the SUV bloodline you will find strength, versatility and plenty
of space, while the sedan heritage brings high quality and comfort.
After settling into the comfortable ergonomic seats, designed to keep
you sharp on the longest journeys, take a moment to appreciate the
many well-thought-out details.
With your hands on the leather-wrapped steering wheel, which is both
height and reach-adjustable to achieve your ideal personal driving position,
you have a perfect view of every instrument on the dashboard.
If it wasn’t for the CRV’s commandingly high road view, increasing both
the safety and enjoyment of your trip, you could be forgiven for thinking
you were in a luxury sedan.
Controls for the high-quality sound system are duplicated on the
three-spoke steering wheel, which drives a powerful 30w x 4 stereo
tuner with speed-sensitive volume control. The 6-speaker, 6-CD audio
system also plays MP3 and WMA encoded discs. And the auxiliary input
makes it easy to plug in a portable music player. An i-Pod connector
is also available as an optional accessory.
Steering wheel mounted cruise-control helps keep your eyes on the road
and dual-zone climate control even lets you and your front seat passenger
choose individual ambient temperatures.
Step inside. Make yourself comfortable.
This is a space to enjoy not just to go places in.
Storage to burnEven a brief look shows how much thought has gone into storage
options; from the myriad of clever and handily-placed little holders
in the front compartment, to the cavernous rear storage area.
Among the storage spaces up front are two big, caffeine-hit size cup
holders, and a centre console which is perfectly sized to carry 24 CDs.
Your sunglasses, maps, cellphones and more will all find homes designed
to keep them on hand while keeping the cabin tidy.
Usable space Lifting the tailgate reveals a huge usable rear-cargo area. The spare wheel
and tools stow neatly under the floor leaving a large, flat cargo bay.
Deep tinted privacy glass on the rear windows keeps luggage secure
from prying eyes while helping keep the interior cool, however hot
the New Zealand summer becomes.
Flexible space Beyond that, the base of the rear seats split 60:40 and can be slid
backwards or forwards to maximise either leg room or luggage space.
The rear seat backs split 40:20:40 to offer you every sort of seating
and cargo combination imaginable, from a huge flat deck to room for
two adults and their surfboards.
This space comes with its own clever ‘double-decker’ horizontal divider
330mm above the load floor, so you can keep the dirty sports gear
separate from the shopping if the need arises. When not in use, it stows
away on the boot floor.
Intelligent design makes CRV strong and safe. Leading protection for you and your passengers In an impact, the CRV’s many safety systems spring into action;
channelling force away from the passenger compartment, tensioning
seatbelts and deploying airbags, turning itself into a protective capsule
for you and your passengers.
Importantly and uniquely, in the unlikely event of a frontal collision,
the Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) structure – much like
a ‘Catcher’s Mitt’ – better meets opposing vehicles, irrespective of
contact height. Energy is dissipated both underneath and over the top
of the monocoque structure and away from the passenger compartment,
resulting in enhanced protection for all occupants.
Leading safety standards for peace of mindThe entire CRV is a safety platform, with every advanced handling and performance
feature contributing to a safer ride for you, your passengers and other road users.
Specific active and passive safety features are extensive. Every CRV has dual-stage
SRS front airbags, side airbags for front seat passengers and full-length side-curtain
airbags. All models also have active front headrests which move the headrests
forward in the event of rear impacts, to help protect from neck injuries.
Advanced Compatibility Engineering Body
MAIN FRAMEHighly efficient energy absorption.
UPPER FRAMEAbsorbing upper part of impact energy.
IMPACT ENERGY
LOWER MEMBERPreventing misalignment of impact-absorbing vehicle members.
Surrounding you is an integrated, one-piece (monocoque) structure
reinforced by a network of high-tension steel beams, side intrusion
beams, energy absorbing structures and passenger safety zones – all
part of Honda’s unique G-Force Control (G-Con) system.
Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) also provides road holding prowess by braking
individual slipping wheels, thereby redirecting driving torque to the wheel(s)
with more traction.
The CRV is equipped with either a 5-speed automatic or 6-speed manual
gearbox, and the gear-shift lever is mounted high on the dash for ease
of use and to increase storage spaces.
The 5-speed auto has computer-controlled Gear Logic Control, which
assesses the current driving situation, taking into account gradients,
cornering and engine speed. Gear Logic Control allows the CRV to know
and hold the right gear instead of gear hunting and changing up or down
when you don’t want it to. In practice, you’ll find the CRV is in the best
gear for any corner or gradient – giving you more power and control
just when you want it.
Real Time™ 4WD. Big time on and off-road performance.
The CRV’s advanced 4WD system gives you all-weather and off-road
capabilities, as well as smooth, sedan-like handling.
For the technically minded, the CRV’s on-demand Real Time™ 4WD
system combines a quiet, fuel-efficient, lightweight and fully automatic
system with a one-way cam unit to significantly enhance sensing of front
wheel slippage. This system transfers power to the rear wheels seamlessly
as required. The combination of 4WD with Vehicle Stability Assist provides
advanced slippage control and significantly improves the CRV’s all-weather
and off-road capabilities.
For the less technically minded, the end result is that the CRV is always
poised to engage 4WD instantly when it is needed, while using less fuel
when cruising in two-wheel drive.
Gear Logic Control and Drive-by-Wire optimises gear shift timing,
up and down hills and through corners, selecting or holding a gear
appropriate for the driving conditions.

Electronic stability control – VSA Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), which includes Traction Control, works
in combination with the DBW and brakes to achieve more stable
handling in even the worst conditions. Should the car deviate from its
correct path, VSA activates to bring the car back on track by applying
the brakes to any individual wheel or adjusting the engine output.
An additional benefit of VSA – ideal for off-road use – is the ability
of the system to brake individual skidding wheels and direct torque
to the wheels with traction.
Controlled brakingABS The braking system is no less high-tech. Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS) prevent
the wheels from locking, allowing you to steer away from a potential
accident you might have otherwise slid into with locked wheels.
CRV’s low Centre-of-Gravity (a benefit of the spare wheel being located
under the boot floor, among other things), wide stance and big 17” wheels
and tyres, create stability and predictable handling.
The MacPherson strut front suspension is specifically designed and tuned
for compact packaging and supple ride comfort, and with the ride height
and ruggedness needed to travel even harsh roads in comfort. The geometry
has been optimised for response and stability.
The CRV’s multi-link double-wishbone rear suspension helps provide a
smooth ride, crisp handling, and also additional cargo space. It helps give
the CRV excellent cornering under braking. Front and rear stays increase
mounting-point rigidity, improving both stability and feel.
The variable speed-sensitive power steering system features quick gear
ratios for sharp and rapid response. More power boost is provided at low
speeds for easier manoeuvering and less boost at higher speeds for direct
steering feel and improved economy.
Drive-by-WireAn electronic Drive-by-Wire system (DBW) gives you more control, with
precision electronics responding directly to pressure on the accelerator,
optimising engine power and efficiency and smoothing out gear shifts.
The result is outstanding fuel economy and performance.
Sure footed and razor sharp.

Powerful and efficient.The CRV’s power, economy and handling is enhanced by a wide range
of high-tech engine management and stability features.
Power comes from a 2.4-litre DOHC i-VTEC petrol engine, based on the
same advanced power plant used by the Accord Euro range, and combining
VTEC (Variable Valve Timing with Lift, Electronic Control) and VTC (Variable
Timing Control) technologies to create i-VTEC (Intelligent VTEC).
VTEC adjusts the lift and opening duration of the valves to produce
torque and fuel-efficiency at low revs and performance at high revs,
giving you the best of both worlds: two engines in one – economy mode
and performance mode.
VTC (Variable Timing Control) continuously adjusts camshaft phasing
across the power band, advancing or retarding the intake cam to optimise
engine output and reduce emissions.
Maximum power and torque are 125kW at 5,800 rpm and 218Nm
at 4,200 rpm. Honda has proven a powerful car can also be gentle
on the environment. Emissions fall within LEV II (Low Emission Vehicle)
and Euro 4 standards. Latest generation engine technologies, including
an efficient fuel-injection system, minimise harmful emissions while
leaving power undiluted.
This super-efficient high-tech engine, together with CRV’s aerodynamic
body shape, gives excellent fuel economy.
Like the Honda Legend, CRV’s engine and chassis performance was optimised at Honda’s world renowned Takasu test track.
