With the previous-generation CR-V recognized as a "Top Recommended Vehicle"
and having the "Best Retained Value SUV under $25,000" by Edmunds.com, and named
top compact crossover SUV in dependability by J.D. Power and Associates, the
all-new 2012 model introduces the latest evolution of Honda's successful CR-V
formula. Compact on the outside and roomy inside, the CR-V represents an ideal
balance for size and capability in the entry SUV segment. The all-new
five-passenger CR-V offers improved car-like interior comfort, a smoother and
quieter ride, and even more innovative features than the previous model.
2012 CR-V's Design
The 2012 CR-V body adopts a more dynamic and sophisticated appearance compared
to the previous generation. The CR-V's spacious interior layout is more
accommodating with a roomy new center console (now standard) and an overall
lower cargo floor height for easy loading and unloading. The new Easy Fold-Down
60/40 Split Rear Seat makes accessing the full capability of the cargo area much
more convenient than traditional folding seats. Each side of the rear seat can
fold nearly flat into the front of the cargo area using one of the release
levers located near the tailgate, or a pull-strap positioned on the seat side.
Honda CR-V's Powerful and Efficient 4-Cylinder Engine
Leading the changes are a more efficient engine design with improved horsepower
and torque, along with an all-new Real Time All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) with
Intelligent Control System. All CR-Vs are powered by a 2.4-liter i-VTEC
4-cylinder engine with 185 horsepower and 163 lb-ft of torque paired with a
standard 5-speed automatic transmission. EPA-estimated fuel economy is rated at
23/31/26 mpg city/highway/combined (FWD) (an increase of +2/+3/+2 mpg compared
to the 2011 CR-V), and a compact SUV-class leading 22/30/25 mpg
city/highway/combined (AWD) (an increase of +1/+3/+2 mpg compared to the 2011
CR-V). Eco Assist, a new feature on the CR-V for 2012, indicates to the driver
when the vehicle is being operated in an efficient style via "green" visual cues
surrounding the speedometer, and a selectable ECON Mode alters operating
characteristics of the vehicle to support an efficient driving style.
