2007 Honda CR-V - Revolutionary Car

{image- www.drivespark.com} The new CR-V is equipped with Honda's ACE (Advanced Compatibility Engineering) body structure. The primary goal of ACE is to protect the occupants by channeling and dissipating front and rear impact energy to prevent cabin deformation in a collision. Compared to the previous CR-V, this one's bending rigidity is increased by 84 percent, and 58 percent of the black metal is high-grade, high-strength steel.

The body of this 2007 model looks elongated and squashed down, but the dimensions haven't changed much. It's little shorter, wider than previous one and rides on a shorter wheelbase. Also gone is the left-to-right side-swinging cargo door. The rear door's now hinged on top. The dash is perfectly executed. The CR-V opts for a more straightforward side-by-side setup with an informative digital display wedged between the speedometer and tachometer. The increase in overall vehicle width permits wider seats, and a new retractable center tray table includes cup holders and a lower tray. The EX adds a 12-volt outlet and auxiliary audio jack in the center tray, and the EX-L (EX with leather) can accommodate up to 24 CDs. In the rear cargo area, the EX includes a dual-deck cargo shelf that can hold up to 20 pounds on the upper shelf

Honda's latest generation satellite navigation system with voice recognition and a rear view camera is available on CR-V EX-L and features a 6.5-inch display. The display screen moves to allow access to a single-disc CD player and a digital audio card reader that can play MP3 and WMA files from Compact Flash cards

Fuel economy, according to Honda, will be 23 city and 30 highway with 2WD and 22 city and 28 highway with the available Real Time 4WD system. The low emissions engine achieves CARB LEV II ULEV standards. The Real Time 4WD system is fully automatic, transferring torque to the rear wheels when needed based on the available traction.
