    • 120 CP sa traga un SUV 4x4 e intr-adevar cam putin.

      Eu unul nu mi-as lua niciodata SUV 2x4...

        • are sigur, se vede in clip butonul de inchidere amplasat langa manerul de pe haion. plus ca si in articolul de pe promotor gasesti fraza asta : " În plus, hayonul are deschidere automată, faţă de varianta americană."

          l.e. : mai ramane sa asteptam preturile. alaltaieri cand am fost la asko la revizie ziceau baietii de la vanzari ca se asteapta ca preturile sa fie cele ale actualului cr-v, fara reducerile de acum, evident. adica undeva intre 30k si 36k. eu le-am zis ca nu sunt asa optimist, dar n-au vrut sa ma creada :d. acum avand in vedere ca in SUA pretul a crescut cu vreo 200$ s-ar putea sa aiba ei dreptate si sa ma insel eu:
          "When you get more, you usually expect to pay more. But that's hardly the case with the latest Honda CR-V. Despite representing a comprehensive revision of the previous model and packing more features, American Honda has only increased the popular CUV's base price by an average of $181. Models equipped with the navigation system have actually dropped by $300, on average." (autoblog.com)

                      2013 Honda CR-V - Review versiunea din SUA

                      Honda takes pragmatism to an extreme with the CR-V, and provided you know that's what you're getting you'll be very satisfied. Somewhere smaller than the Pilot SUV and Odyssey minivan yet packing a lot more utility and space than the Civic--or even the Accord--the 2013 Honda CR-V is the zenith of compact-crossover space efficiency and versatility, and it's one of the safest vehicles on the market. If you're cross-shopping this kind of vehicle for family use, it's likely that it will meet your requirements in just about every way--except performance, perhaps.

                      Cutting right to the chase, and to what families want and need: The 2013 CR-V has what we think is the best rear seat-folding arrangement of any vehicle in this class; and that's combined with impressive back-seat comfort and good ride comfort in general. Open one of the back doors, and with one arm and a simple pull of a strap, in a very fluid motion the lower cushion tumbles forward into the footwell, the headrest angles forward, and the rear seatback flips forward, all tucking nearly behind the front seat, to a completely flat position. Cargo loading is also a snap, as the liftover height is only 23.6 inches. And up front, there's a minivan-like selection of cupholders, cubbies, and cargo trays.

                      The other high point for the CR-V is safety. In National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the CR-V has earned five-star results overall, as well as in frontal and side impact testing. It's also earned top 'good' scores in all tests from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and is a Top Safety Pick. A Multi-Angle Rearview Camera is available and offers three different views (wide, normal, and top) to help you see obstacles (or children).

                      That's the good. The bad depends on what kind of discerning (or demanding) shopper you are, because in both exterior styling and performance, the CR-V is fine for a family vehicle, but lacking pizazz for those with upmarket tastes or any kind of performance sense. Its exterior last year evolved only slightly, with the front and rear styling spruced up a bit and the front end made more noticeably carlike. Meanwhile, Honda dropped the cargo floor a few inches, as well as the seating, which opened up more space, but the net effect of this inside-out design move is that it can appear a little homely from the outside compared to stylish, rakish (and space-compromised) entries like the Ford Escape or Kia Sportage. Inside, the simplified, streamlined serves it well, with climate controls just below audio controls, and a small, five-inch ‘i-MID’ trip-computer and audio screen just above it all.

                      Performance is the other down side compared to other vehicles in this class. The CR-V doesn't steer or handle with much verve; has a five-speed automatic at a time when most rivals have six-speeds; and Honda has skipped direct injection here. That said, what you get is smooth and even, just not all that quick. Part of the blame is that Honda opted for taller gear ratios for better fuel economy: EPA fuel economy ratings land at 23 mpg city, 31 highway with front-wheel drive, or 22/30 with four-wheel drive—making it the highest-mileage all-wheel- or four-wheel-drive vehicle in this class. Just as in some of Honda's other models, there's a big green 'econ' button on the dash, to engage more frugal parameters for the powertrain and A/C.

                      The CR-V isn't the trail vehicle that some of the hardier crossovers like a Subaru Forester or Jeep Patriot are, but its available Real Time all-wheel drive is a good tool set for snow-covered roads, or even mud.

                      For 2013, the Honda CR-V keeps pace with the market in terms of connectivity, and it includes a well-rounded feature set; the only caution, for those who like to add some extras like a navigation system or satellite radio, is that to get them you may have to move all the way up to the much more expensive EX-L model. There, you do get a few upgraded interior trims, plus leather upholstery, a ten-way driver’s seat, heated front seats, automatic climate control, heated mirrors, and a higher-power (328-watt) audio system with subwoofer.

                      ========================

                      Last year the Honda CR-V was given a complete redesign; although its exterior arguably looked like just a light evolution of the existing look, with spruced-up front and rear styling.
                      That's true, in part. With the same wheelbase, as well as the same basic silhouette and proportions—but with the roof dropped slightly, the rear pillar thinner and at a different angle, with the seating repositioned and the cargo space made smarter—the CR-V's layout became even better from a practical standpoint. But it didn't become any prettier.

                      Honda's taken more liberties with the interior, and it's both attractive and straightforward—although up close some of the details reveal themselves as either done on a budget or with kids and spills in mind. With a rather carlike layout and a simplified, streamlined theme, the 2013 CR-V completely avoids the chunky, overwrought-and-cluttered look of the larger Pilot, as well as the odd asymmetries of the Civic, and the confusing rotary knob and multi-tiered layout of the high-end Accord models. On most models, there's a small, five-inch 'i-MID' trip computer and audio screen, with audio controls and climate controls below.

                      Overall, think of it as a tradeoff. The CR-V doesn't have the rakish profile and arched roofline of the 2013 Ford Escape, but it has more of what families need because of it.

                      ===========================

                      Most of the alternatives to the 2013 Honda CR-V include both a six-speed automatic transmission and direct-injection engines, but the CR-V may seem a little behind the times with its five-speed automatic and lack of DI. In truth, those shouldn't be barriers at all for considering the CR-V; it offers performance that's perfectly adequate for families—without the need for a V-6 or a turbocharged engine—but the whole driving experience does lack excitement.

                      The CR-V's engine, a 2.4-liter i-VTEC in-line four-cylinder, remains one of the smoothest fours in this class, with nice, even power delivery all the way up to redline. The transmission shifts smoothly and will downshift quickly when needed—which may be more frequently if you're trading in a late-model CR-V as Honda recently made gear ratios taller for better fuel economy.

                      If you're counting on the CR-V to get you out to a trailhead or campsite, it'll probably be good for the task if the going isn't too tough (the CR-V really isn't meant for off-roading). Models with the so-called Real Time AWD system are very capable on snow-covered roads, or even mud, and the system doesn't require the front wheels to spin before sending more power to the back. Also, to help save fuel, the system fully disengages the rear wheels when cruising.

                      Altogether, the 2013 CR-V simply doesn't provide a very exciting driving experience. Handling is safe, but suspension softness and tall tire sidewalls are oriented for ride quality, not for carving canyon roads. The only real letdown compared to other vehicles in this class—as well compared to what we've come to expect from Honda—is the electric power steering, which isn't as nicely weighted as systems in the previous CR-V and requires more frequent small adjustments during normal driving.

                      =======================

                      Need an extremely roomy and versatile interior, but not third-row seating? If so, then the 2013 Honda CR-V is one of the best picks for those on a budget.

                      Considering its parking footprint, which is only slightly larger than that of a compact sedan, the 2013 CR-V packs in a lot of space. There's seating for five, but with the comfort and seating position plus the excellent seat-folding arrangement and especially low cargo floor, it feels almost minivan-like.

                      Front seats are buckets that are on the soft side, yet supportive enough for a long day. You won't quite fit three adults across in back, but the contours and the height are right for two adults to be content in the outboard positions (with enough legroom and headroom).

                      The CR-V has a better rear seat-folding arrangement than any other compact crossover. Open one of the back doors, and with one arm and a simple pull of a strap, in a very fluid motion the lower cushion tumbles forward into the footwell, the headrest angles forward, and the rear seatback flips forward, all tucking nearly behind the front seat, to a completely flat position.

                      For those cross-shopping the numbers (which don't always correspond to practical space, by the way), cargo capacity with the rear seatbacks up is an impressive 37.2 cubic feet, while with the back seats down you get 61.4 cubic feet, with a continuous cargo floor (albeit with a slight step at the base of the seatbacks). A side cargo net is included, and EX levels and above get a removable and retractable cargo cover.

                      But there is one very important number: Honda has dropped the cargo floor—and the liftover height itself—to 23.6 inches. That's just as low as a station wagon, yet you have all the space up to the tall roof in which to cram furniture, bicycles, strollers, and whatever else fits.
                      The CR-V rides well, without much harshness; Honda made an effort to improve that with last year's redesign, with more insulation, better door seals, and a bolstered body structure.

                      One sore point, potentially, remains: With hard-plastic trim and door materials, plus upholsteries and materials that seem focused more on the diapers-and-spills set than on aesthetic details, the CR-V wears its frugal nature on its sleeves. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's possible that shoppers at the high end of the CR-V's price range might expect something a little more lavish.

                      ======================

                      The 2013 Honda CR-V last year received a re-engineered body structure with greater rigidity and strength, and the investment has paid off in appeal to safety-conscious families. As such, the CR-V has the best crash-test ratings in its class, and ranks as one of the best safety-minded picks on the market.

                      In National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the CR-V has earned five-star results overall, as well as in frontal and side impact testing. It's also earned top 'good' scores in all tests from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and is a Top Safety Pick.

                      All CR-V models include side-curtain airbags, front side airbags, and electronic stability, along with wide-angle side mirrors. A Multi-Angle Rearview Camera is available and offers three different views (wide, normal, and top) to help you see obstacles (or children).

                      ============================

                      For 2013, the Honda CR-V keeps pace with the market in terms of connectivity, and it includes a well-rounded feature set; the only caution, for those who like to add some extras like a navigation system or satellite radio, is that to get them you may have to move all the way up to the much more expensive EX-L model.

                      Bluetooth hands-free connectivity and streaming audio are standard on the entire model line, and the i-MID control screen clearly displays information and is controlled via a simple directional toggle on the steering wheel. The system is compatible with SMS texting (reading and pre-set replying) and a Pandora app, with the screen capable of displaying cover art, turn-by-turn directions, and a trip computer/fuel economy screen. You can also set the home screen to display personal pictures as wallpaper.

                      Otherwise, the trim levels of the CR-V will be familiar to anyone who's shopped for a Honda recently. There are LX, EX, and EX-L trims, with a navigation system and rear entertainment system reserved for the top version of the EX-L, these versions do get some upgraded interior trim plus leather upholstery, a ten-way driver’s seat, heated front seats, automatic climate control, heated mirrors, and a higher-power (328-watt) audio system with subwoofer.

                      Also available at the top of the lineup is a rear entertainment system with seven-inch display, DVD player, wireless headphones, and remote.

                      ==============================

                      The 2013 Honda CR-V is one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles in its class, but there's a bit of a back story as to why.

                      Last year, instead of adding a six-speed automatic to the lineup, Honda made the gear ratios taller for the five-speed automatic transmission. If you live in mostly level terrain, that translates to substantially better gas mileage—as reflected in the EPA ratings of 23 mpg city, 31 highway with front-wheel drive, or 22/30 with 4WD. But if you regularly drive in hilly terrain, or do a lot of passing or merging, it's likely you won't see as much of an improvement in the real world.
                      A big green 'econ' button on the dash engages a mode that softens throttle response and more frugal parameters for accessories, and it may bring your actual mileage more in line with the EPA ratings.

                        Honda CR-V review
                        The Honda CR-V’s styling is nothing to write home about, but dig deeper and this SUV makes good sense.


                        Five million owners can’t be wrong but, to be honest, it’s hard to see what all the fuss is about with Honda’s CR-V. This anodyne soft-roader might have helped mould the character of today’s burgeoning sport-utility (SUV) market, but since its inception in 1995, it’s basically been Mumsnet on wheels. Honda claims an equal number of pensioners as avid customers, but I’ve never seen anything other than school-run sprogs in the back. Perhaps the wrinklies are donating them to their fecund granddaughters.

                        Don’t knock it, though. Even if the CR-V is transport as white goods, you can only wish that fridges were this well engineered. A good example on this fourth-generation model is the powered tailgate, which comes as standard on the top-spec EX trim. That rear door does everything automatically except actually open. Why’s that, we inquired? “Ah,” said the Honda engineer. “These things are expensive bits of kit and we want our owners to have the confidence that if it did go wrong, they know that they will be able to get into the back.”

                        Such is the belt-and-braces Honda way. Not that it’s likely to go wrong, since Hondas are some of the most reliable machines on the planet. Go on to the Mumsnet website forum and you’ll find the main criticism of the CR-V is the possibility of a spider crawling across the rear camera lens and frightening the life out of the driver. If only all motoring problems were as small as a touch of arachnophobia.

                        The fourth-generation CR-V is already in production at Honda’s Swindon plant and goes on sale in October. Gone is the brutish snout, the trout-pout rear and that weird car-that-swallowed-a-car appearance.

                        Instead, you get a front end heavily based on Honda’s pioneering FCX Clarity fuel-cell model, a lower roof line and slightly reduced length, but with the same wheelbase as its predecessor. It looks attractive, but wholly unremarkable.




                        Inside, Honda’s engineers have pored over the technical drawings for the Tardis, freeing up head room, boot space and rear leg space within a slightly reduced silhouette. It’s comfortable, but the seats feel huge, being designed to accommodate the average American buttocks. There’s a useful new centre console and storage space around the driver is generous.

                        The rear seats fold 60/40 with space, it is claimed, for three 29in-wheel mountain bikes and their riders – personally I’d make them ride home. The boot capacity is a generous 598 litres, which extends to 1,669 litres with the rear seats folded. The boot floor is lower than in the previous model, but so is the load lip, which makes it easier to drag the shopping, or an old dog, inside.

                        Eschewing the Civic’s space-rocket dashboard, the CR-V has a simple instrument binnacle, with a huge speedo flanked by ancillary gauges. In the centre is the optional (and overcomplicated) satnav screen and a smaller information screen above it, on to which owners can download their own pictures as backgrounds.

                        Two engines are offered, both single-cam, four-valve units displacing 2.0 litres for the petrol and 2.2 litres for the turbodiesel. There’s a choice of six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmissions and, for the first time, a two-wheel-drive version, which extends the price range down to about £21,000. Full prices are yet to be announced, but expect to pay up to £35,000 for a fully loaded automatic diesel.

                        It’s the diesel model in EX trim with a manual transmission that will represent the rump of UK sales and buyers shouldn’t be disappointed. Honda’s diesel has been revised to make it more frugal and behave even more like a petrol engine, and while it isn’t the most powerful unit, it is highly refined with enough go for this high-riding, 1.7-ton machine. Our advice is to avoid the sloth-like automatic though, which feels very old fashioned and doesn’t really complement the engine, while the manual makes light work of gear changes and gives better control. The idle stop/start system is one of the best we’ve tried, particularly on the diesel.

                        This is an off-roader for people who see most of their trees and grass in local parks and do their most tricky off-roading in a festival car park, but the CR-V should give a good account of itself in the occasional snowfall and the 4x4 system adds a degree of confidence to the handling while not extracting an outrageous tithe at the pumps.

                        A MacPherson-strut front and a three-link rear suspension gives an acceptable ride and the damping is excellent. Body roll is well controlled and while the 18in wheels occasionally feel like they are clambering through rather than rolling over potholes, on the whole the ride is comfortable. It’s worth noting that the standard 17in wheels that are fitted to S and SE models will ride more softly.

                        Push the CR-V hard through a corner and it wants to travel straight on, but this really isn’t a machine for people who whizz round corners for the hell of it. There’s a bit of wind buffeting around the elephant-ear door mirrors, but in the main this is a seriously quiet and refined motor car.

                        The CR-V has pioneered safety in this class and the new model is no exception with a new front-end structure designed to match the crash protection height on anything you are planning on bumping into. As well as brake-force distribution, electronic stability program, traction control, trailer stability control and emergency-stop braking, there’s optional active cruise control and a lane-keeping assistant.

                        It drives well, looks attractive and feels well made, but you could say the same of several competitors in this sector, not least the South Koreans. On paper and from the outside, the new CR-V, despite its track record, is just another characterless school-run soft-roader. Yet when you get behind the wheel, this Honda reeks of painstaking engineering and that’s the difference. You just have to drive it to recognise it.

                        Tested: 2.2-litre turbodiesel, six-speed manual transmission, four-wheel drive

                        Price/on sale: About £21,000-£35,000/October

                        Power/torque: 148bhp @ 4,000rpm/258lb ft @ 2,000rpm

                        Top speed: 118mph

                        Acceleration: 0-62mph in 9.7sec

                        Fuel economy: 43.5mpg/50.5mpg (EU Urban/Combined)

                        CO2 emissions: 149g/km

                        VED band: F (£135)

                        Verdict: Likeable and hugely competent, but not a car to lust after. You’d go a long way to find a better SUV

                        Telegraph rating: Four out of five stars

                        RIVALS

                        Mazda CX-5, from £21,395

                        Mazda’s latest SUV is a strangely likeable soft-roader, with an economical range of diesel and petrol engines. So-so styling, but usefully large family troop carrier, with quite sharp handling.

                        VW Tiguan, from £20,340

                        Golf with wellies on. Unexceptional styling, but workmanlike appointment and well built. Most plump for the 2.0-litre turbodiesel, although the 1.4 TSI petrol is a good choice.

                        Nissan Qashqai, from £17,999

                        Go for the 1.6 dCi with this British-built best-seller. Smaller than the Honda unless you go for the plus 2 version, the interior isn’t as plush and, though sharp, it isn’t as good to drive.

                          Honda CR-V Takes Top Spot In New Compact Crossover SUV Comparison, According To KBB.com
                          Comprehensive New-Car Assessment Reveals CR-V Bests Chevy Equinox, Ford Escape, Mazda CX-5, Toyota RAV4


                          IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 12, 2012 -- /PRNewswire/ -- The Honda CR-V is the winner of Kelley Blue Book's all-new 2012/2013 Compact Crossover SUV Comparison according to the expert editors of KBB.com, the leading provider of new car and used car information.

                          Concerns about fuel prices may have tempered America's love affair with sport-utility vehicles, but it has by no means brought it to an end. Instead, many Americans seem to be aligning their vehicle shopping based on a realistic assessment of their needs and economic situation. As a consequence, compact SUVs have become one of the hottest vehicle categories in a slowly reviving U.S. auto market.

                          Since 2007, sales of compact crossovers have increased by more than 50 percent, while sales of mid-size SUVs have declined by 70 percent through the same period. In terms of changing market share since 2007, compact crossovers have gained 4.5 points of share relative to a 5 point decline for mid-size SUVs. Today, small crossovers outsell mid-size SUVs nearly 5-to-1.

                          The expert editors of Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com compared five of the top contenders in the affordable compact SUV class. Three are newly redesigned vehicles: the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5. Meanwhile, the current design of the Chevy Equinox has been available to shoppers since the 2010 model year, and the Toyota RAV4 is the group's veteran, with its current design dating back to 2006.

                          KBB.com's editors put these popular vehicles through their paces for a head-to-head car comparison test. They poked, prodded, slammed doors, checked connectivity, cargo holds, front seats, back seats, fit, finish and window stickers. Then they collectively debated details, argued merits, and ultimately came to a consensus.

                          "In KBB.com's recent comparison test of new compact crossover SUVs, the Honda CR-V emerged as the clear winner and demonstrated why it has become one of the best-selling vehicles in America in recent years," said Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book. "Car shoppers continue to embrace the growing compact crossover SUV class, finding that their perfect balance of utility and economy delivers just what consumers both need and want in their next new vehicle. The Honda CR-V takes first place for its blend of smooth ride and power, competitive fuel economy, outstanding assembly quality, first-rate materials, quiet operation, exceptional comfort and excellent value story."

                          KBB.com's 2012/2013 Compact Crossover SUV Comparison: Sneak Peek at Editor's Comments

                          (Vehicles below are listed alphabetically)

                          2012 Chevrolet Equinox FWD LTZ The Chevrolet Equinox competes in the compact category, but it's by far the biggest kid on this playground, as well as the heaviest. It's also the only vehicle in our test group to come to the starting line with a V6 engine -- 3.0 liters, 264 horsepower, 222 lb-ft of torque -- adding $1,500 to the bottom line...

                          2013 Ford Escape SE The Escape is brand new for 2013, and represents a dramatic change of direction. New foundations, adapted from the front-wheel drive Ford Focus. And a decidedly new look, slick and contemporary, replacing the blocky, truckish look of the previous generation. The Escape's new chassis was the starting point for a very agile dynamic profile -- prompt responses in quick maneuvers, good control of body motions...

                          2012 Honda CR-V EX-L Navi With the exception of 2011, when Japan's catastrophic earthquake and Thailand flooding choked production down to a trickle, the CR-V has been the bestseller in this class for years, and often the bestseller of all SUVs, great and small. Which raises the tricky question of what's next? Honda essentially invented the segment in 1995 with the first-generation CR-V, and subsequent generations have kept the Civic-based crossover at the front of the pack. Introduced last fall, Honda's response to the "what's next" challenge was conservative, even cautious. The wheelbase is unchanged at 103.1 inches -- shortest in this group -- while length and height shrink an inch, to 178.1 and 65.1, respectively. This puts the CR-V at the small end of our test-SUV spectrum, but in typical Honda fashion its interior volume seems to belie the exterior dimensions...

                          2013 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring Launched earlier this year, the CX-5 represents a bold departure for Mazda, wrapped in one of the more obscure slogans in automotive marketing history: Skyactiv Technology. So what does that mean? Basically, Mazda's new system is a total vehicle approach -- in a word, holistic -- to engineering and design, integrating all elements: engine, transmission, chassis, bodyshell, suspension, brakes, steering, everything...

                          2012 Toyota RAV4 LTD The Toyota RAV4 has been with us since 1996, and has maintained a strong presence in the compact SUV class ever since. Although its novel semi-convertible and 3-door variants have long since disappeared, it continues to hold at least one trump card versus its many competitors -- an optional third-row seat...
