Al-Futtaim Honda, the exclusive distributor of Honda vehicles in the UAE, has announced the launch of the all-new Honda CR-V across all its showrooms in the UAE. Now in its 5th generation, the completely redesigned and re-engineered CR-V boasts a bold new styling, premium interior and a host of new features and technologies aimed at enhancing CR-V's status as the outright benchmark in the highly popular compact SUV segment.
Colin Cordery, Regional Managing Director of Al-Futtaim Honda said: “The Honda CR-V is one of our popular models and we are extremely pleased to launch the new model here the UAE. Compared to the previous generation, the all-new CR-V raises the bar with a major update both interior and exterior. Customers will find the new CR-V offers the highest levels of comfort, performance and driving experience and is great value for money. We encourage all our customers to take one out for a test drive to truly experience this amazing vehicle.”
The new CR-V targets the highest levels of quality and driving refinement in its class with top class steering precision, ride comfort, body control and cabin quietness. The all-new CR-V comes in four grades: LX and LX Plus in 2-wheel drive (2WD) and EX Plus and Touring in all-wheel drive (AWD).
At the heart of the all-new CR-V is a 2.4-litre DOHC, direct injected i-VTEC engine that is mated to a smooth shifting and sporty continuously variable transmission (CVT) with Honda G-Shift control logic. The 2.4-liter engine generates 184-horsepower @ 6400rpm and a torque of 244NM @ 3900rpm. The fuel consumption statistics of the CR-V are 15.5km/L for the LX and LX Plus grades and 14.7km/L for the EX Plus and Touring grades.
The all-new body and chassis design in the CR-V provide more agile and confident handling, greater drive refinement and superior overall versatility. Its front MacPherson strut and rear multi-link suspension utilise specially tuned low-friction dampers, with both front wheel drive (FWD) and AWD models including tubular front and solid rear stabiliser bars that promote quick turn-in and flatter cornering. Dual-pinion, variable ratio Electric Power Steering (EPS) also contributes to the CR-V's direct and satisfying steering feel.
The new CR-V also features distinct LED taillights and exciting wheel options in 17 inches (LX and LX Plus grades) and 18 inches (EX Plus and Touring grades) that help it stand out from the crowd. It also includes a Power Programmable Tailgate, which opens and closes at the push of a button with added tailgate height-adjustability feature (available on Touring grade only) which can be customised for drivers of all heights. Other notable standard features include power door mirrors, side mirror LED indicators, rear fog lights, headlight off timer, various chrome garnishes and auto rain sensing wipers (Touring only).
The 7-inch touchscreen Display Audio is compatible with Apple CarPlay and AndroidAuto platforms, giving customers seamless integration of key smartphone features and functions, including smartphone powered GPS navigation and voice controlled search capabilities. The Honda LANEWATCH feature in EX Plus and Touring grades uses a camera located in the passenger door mirror to display a clear image of the lanes and any vehicles that are in the lane on the 7-inch Display Audio screen. The Multi-Angle Rearview Camera with dynamic guidelines shows steering input direction, to ensure you park safely and quickly.
Some of the key comfort and convenience features available on the new CR-V include a smart entry and remote engine start (LX Plus, EX Plus and Touring only), single zone air conditioning in LX and dual-zone climate controls in the remaining grades, rear A/C ducts in all grades, Auto Dimming Rear View Mirror (EX Plus and Touring only), Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) with Brake Hold function, front USB ports, rear 2.5A USB charging ports and front passenger seat with 4-way power adjustment and driver's seat with 8-way power adjustment and 4-way power lumbar support.
The all-new CR-V uses Honda's next-generation Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure. The CR-V targets the highest available collision safety ratings, including an NCAP 5-star Overall Vehicle Score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and a TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
The new CR-V utilises an Electronic Brake Booster (EBB), which replaces the conventional vacuum Brake Booster. The EBB motor is controlled by a microprocessor that monitors the vehicle speed as well as the pressure the driver applies to the brake pedal, building superior hydraulic pressure more quickly and with less pedal effort in all braking situations.
The new CR-V comes with 5 years unlimited mileage warranty as standard.
The all-new CR-V starts at AED 89,900 for the LX model, AED 99,900 for the LX Plus model, AED 113,900 for the EX Plus and AED 125,900 for the top-grade Touring.
