How turbocharging and active suspension damping takes the best selling SUV in North America to the next level
Granted, Honda CR-V, the best selling SUV of any size in North America for the better part of a decade, has always been an exceptional drive and ride value for the money. We first met the reinvented CR-V in Monterey, California. For 2017 Honda presents a larger, more refined 2-row SUV, with expanded user friendly personal electronic connectivity, available Honda SENSING ™ near autonomous active safety features, and a turbocharged VTEC direct injected 4-cylinder gasoline engine and CVT transmission option that tops the segment in fuel efficiency, torque and horsepower.
Throw in a Real Time ™ all-wheel-drive option, with traction mode selection, and a 50% quicker engagement time, despite some very good competition in the compact SUV segment coming from Ford, Mazda, Toyota, and Nissan, when we look to standard, available optional features, and MSRP, 2017 Honda CR-V remains the greatest overall purchase value in the segment.
