One of the most popular Honda SUV’s on the market is the Honda
CR-V, which is considered to be what is called a ‘crossover’
SUV. This Honda SUV is a car that has an SUV or sport utility
vehicle look but is assembled on a more economical construction.
The Honda SUV, CR-V, was ‘copied’ from the extremely popular
Honda Civic in order to meet a growing demand for a SUV made by
Honda. The letters CR-V stand for “comfortable runabout vehicle”
and comes with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

The very first Honda SUV that was planned ‘in house’ by Honda
was the CR-V in 1996. While there was considerable uncertainty
as to whether or not this type of Honda SUV could sell as well
as it’s forerunner, the Honda Passport, the CR-V was introduced
to the US market in 1997. The CR-V has consistently Fender Passport Systems P10 Public Address System maintained
exceptional sales ever since.

The first CR-V was designed and produced from 1996 through 1998
known as the LX model trim. Attractive features included
rear-folding seats, a picnic table stored in the rear floor and
plastic covered front and rear bumpers as well as fender wells.
The next model CR-V was on the market from 1998 to 2001 and
didn’t change the body style but increased the engine power from
the original and was changed to an engine that produces
146-horse power and additional torsion. The beauty of this
increase was that it did not affect the fuel consumption or
price of the car.

The next line of Honda CR-V’s was from 2002 through 2005 and the
build of this Honda SUV was given a complete restyling based on
the most recent Civic model. The new CR-V was also given a more
powerful engine with 106-horse power and increased torsion. This
new engine still offered the same fuel economy as the previous
Honda CR-V models. This Honda SUV was awarded the Car and Driver
magazine’s award for best small SUV of 2002 and 2003.

In 2005, the CR-V received only a minor model change with
16-inch wheels instead of 15 inch, which has been on the earlier
models. The taillights were also changes from the color amber to
red and white. The 2005 CR-V was also equipped with front and
side airbags, anti-lock brakes and side-curtain airbags. While
the next CR-V model has not yet been unveiled, many are guessing
that the new model will have more power in addition to the
option of having an onboard navigation system.
