Honda CR-V – An Exquisite SUV

The New 2013 Honda CR-V

At first glance, a Honda CR-V is both beautiful and classy for an SUV. Most of the time you would think that this vehicle would cost much because it is Honda, and not to mention that they are very exclusive when it comes to their brand. As a matter of fact, you will never see a taxi or any other public utility vehicle that has the Honda seal. Unlike other car manufacturers on the market that goes for mass sales by hooking-up with entrepreneurs and allowing their vehicles to be used in business-related activities.

Honda on the other hand is a company that targets the high-end auto consumers. The few people, who need cars that are both exclusive and exquisite, yet would still want a vehicle that is reliable on the road and can offer fuel economy on the side. When it comes to family cars, you would need a spacious, comfortable and fuel-friendly vehicle, and SUVs is the most preferred choice on the market. There are a lot of choices when it comes to SUVs, and most of the other brands might offer you features that are unique to their cars; however Honda CRV would still stand out. Why? Here are a few determining factors that you might want to know:

The Look

The 2013 Honda CR-V has a versatile look, with design accents that are eye-catching in any angle. It also has a bold grille and front bumper that is elegant and would seem to stare anyone down on the road. Along with its new look is the new 17-inch alloy wheels that adds style and grandeur to its already noticeable features.

Hi-tech Multi-Information Display

The new CR-V comes with a ton of hi-tech features that they called intelligent Multi-Information Display (i-MID). These electronic displays are aimed to help the driver on the road by providing drive-related information that is vital to safety and comfort. There are different types of information it displays like trip range, current MPG, song you’re playing, SMS text messages you received, directions emitted from your navigation system, and if you want to reverse course - the i-MID screen will display images coming from the rear-view camera.

Eco Assist Display

The Eco Assist manager display is a new feature for the upcoming 2013 CRV; it informs the driver and lets him work with the car to improve fuel efficiency. So, when you push the green Econ button, your Honda CRV will configure its engines to operate more efficiently. It also lessens the load of other energy-consuming systems on the SUV, allowing you to gain more from a gallon of gas. 

Powerful and Efficient CR-V Engine

The new and most powerful CR-V engine is a 2.4-liter, i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine that comes with a 185 horsepower and a dual overhead camshaft. Its mpg rating is 31 on the highway and 23 on a city drive. Also, the best thing about this car is that it has an Ultra-Low-Emission rating as per ULEV-2 CARB emission rating standards.

Spacious Rear Cargo Area

As with other CR-V models before, the rear cargo area is simple and efficient, especially in holding your valuables. It is also effective in covering items by having a retractable cargo cover, easily adjusted at your convenience.

Overall, the 2013 Honda CR-V is still in the forefront of most SUVs available on the market today. With a suggested starting price of $ 22,695 (approximately Php 907,000 – without taxes, it will certainly come up with taxes imposed). I would have to say – it’s still a good deal! And with its latest features on both exterior and interior, this SUV is can be the best vehicle you can own for your family.
