2018 Honda CR-V: The Perfect Compact SUV

2018 Honda CR-V: The Perfect Compact SUV

Yes, it's true that to say that the 2018 Honda CR-V is the perfect compact SUV is perhaps a little arrogant. 

The reality, however, is that when you look at its list of features and specifications, it's very hard not to agree. With its combination of style, performance, interior space, safety and fuel economy, the 2018 Honda CR-V stands out and dominates in just about every major category.

It’s not surprising that it’s so popular. Completely redesigned last year, the new CR-V is one of the largest, most economical and safest models in its class.

A Turbocharged Engine that Combines Fuel Economy and Performance for the 2018 Honda CR-V

The 2018 Honda CR-V offers a whole host of safety technologies with standard Honda Sensing offered throughout the lineup, but before we talk about that let's take a look under the hood. Indeed, this is where we find the centerpiece of the Honda CR-V, its 1.5-litre turbo four-cylinder engine.

The latter develops 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque. It is paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission with smooth and soft performance. Power is sent to the front wheels in the entry-level model while the majority of the new 2018 Honda CR-Vs are equipped with all-wheel drive. Despite its power, the 2018 Honda CR-V still displays an average fuel consumption rating of less than 9.0 liters per 100 kilometres.

That's impressive for a compact SUV that offers more than 1,100 litres of cargo space with all seats in place! 

Back to the Honda Sensing system, the latter offers a complete range of driving assistance devices such as intelligent cruise control, lane departure detection and prevention, automatic braking and much more. With the CR-V, you and your family will be safe!
