If you thought that the SUV market was slowing down, think again. Worldwide, SUVs are a major source of revenue for companies like Honda. Here at home, Honda has even announced a complete overhaul of their plant in Ohio to boost production of the CR-V whose sales have soared over the years. What’s so appealing? Clinton Honda, your Hackettstown Area Honda dealer, wants to show you the 2015 CR-V LX.

 

The Muscle

The CR-V begins with a 2.4-liter, in-line four-cylinder engine. By using dual overhead cam, i-VTEC technology, and continuously variable transmission, it delivers 185 horsepower and 181 pounds of torque at the same time as an EPA-estimated 33 miles per gallon on the highway*.

 

The Ability

With all-wheel drive, there’s not much the CR-V can’t handle on the road, but it’s what it can do for you that makes the difference. With spacious seating for five, the CR-V also features over 70 cubic feet of cargo. Not only can the CR-V handle a substantial payload, it can also handle 1,500 pounds in towing capacity.

 

The Safety

In terms of safety and control, the CR-V starts with four-wheel, anti-lock, ventilated disc brakes managed through a brake assist system to help you stop faster. Electronic traction and stability are always on guard to create maximum traction and dual stage airbags in the front minimize injury in the event of a crash.

 

The Extras

The CR-V features cruise control, power windows, remote locks, anti-theft protection, and a four-speaker audio system with AM/FM/CD/MP3 playback, USB 2.0 input, and Bluetooth connectivity for streaming and hands-free calling.
