Reviews:Honda CR-V

When performing a facelift, car manufacturers usually have three choices: the focus to the view, inner beauty, or both. Honda seems to choose the second alternative.

Greet the CR-V facelift, that although the shape is still similar to the previous version, but put forward the improvement of inner beauty. And we were the first Indonesian media were given the opportunity to taste this car a few weeks before the official launch at the end of February.

If you do not know in detail the CR-V before, you may be busy looking for what the difference with this facelift version. The fact that the exterior changes are minimal and indeed made more likely as a sweetener.

It is now peleknya changed the design, but other details like the honeycomb grille and fog lamp is more slanted not enough to accentuate a difference. Moreover, the side and rear there is an almost imperceptible difference.

But come inside, and there was a line waiting for the new features are quite striking. Double-DIN head unit that is in previous versions, now replaced by a TV monitor that is capable of playing DVDs. In addition to more sweet looks, the presence of a TV screen is both a response to Honda's top illumination poor audio on the previous model. TV with touch screen is also actually be used to present the appearance of satellite navigation, unfortunately the software was not provided as standard.

CR-V driving position that is ergonomic, now more perfectly with the presence of regulator 4-way electric seats. Features a true luxury sedan's driver can make more precise to determine the sitting position, including angle of seat base. Plus the steering wheel back and forth regulator, the driving position more robust CR-V to be the best in its class.

Actually we expect the CR-V is equipped with latest audio control buttons on the steering wheel. Especially considering the audio settings via the touch screen on the head unit can be very distracting driving. But Honda has not include this feature. Luckily they were still kind enough to bring the VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) that serves to control the car in emergency situations such as slip or twist.

Lever puller front door that had been impressed with cheap gray, now appear more manly with a black bandage. Combined leather seats and interior are very relieved, CR-V cabin even more luxurious and comfortable for passengers. A little criticism, light blue illumination lights in the middle of the instrument, it was more ancient than previously.

Taste is no different from driving a car, because Honda still maintaining the engine, transmission and suspension from the previous model. And it's actually good news. Indeed suspension a bit harsh, but the CR-V is very stable and precise drive.

Gearshift transmission is smooth and smart to follow the condition of the road elevation, and engine 2354 cc i-VTEC 170 hp diusungnya very powerful in every round.

The rate of 0-100 km / h can be accomplished in just 10.2 seconds. This machine also feels very smooth. Its own fuel consumption is not very efficient, but still entered the tolerance limits considering this is a pretty big SUVs. In general, the strategy put forward a number of features Honda's luxury is the right step.
