2012 Honda CR-V

The All-New 2012 Honda CR-V

All new for 2012, the completely redesigned CR-V is more efficient, more powerful, more stylish and more functional, and could very well be the best all-around compact SUV on the road. Whether it's the exceptional traction of Real Time AWD, the added efficiency of ECON mode or the leading technology of the intelligent Multi-Information Display (i-MID) and Bluetooth^® HandsFreeLink™, the new CR-V redefines what you can get - and do - in a compact SUV.

Exterior

Overall, the new CR-V sports an even more aerodynamic, aggressive appearance compared to the previous model.

Sleek and stylish redesign
Features a bolder front fascia with three-bar grille along with available fog lights and roof rails. The heated folding power side mirrors include expanded view driver's mirror.

Increased power – 185 hp @ 7000 rpm, 163lb-ft. @ 4400 rpm
More power and torque than the previous generation, while improving on overall fuel economy.

Available Real Time AWD (Intelligent Control System™)
For extra traction when you need it, the system automatically engages the rear wheels for maximum grip on loose or rough terrain. When added grip isn't required, the system reverts to 2-wheel drive for improved fuel efficiency and handling on the highway.

Hill Start Assist
Keeps you from rolling back when you switch from the brake to accelerator pedal while the vehicle is stopped on an incline greater than 10 degrees.

Motion-Adaptive Electric Power-Assisted Rack-and-Pinion Steering (EPS)
Varies steering assist according to vehicle speed to help improve fuel economy.

New colours
Aspen White Pearl II, Twilight Blue Metallic, Dark Cherry Pearl II.

Interior

The new CR-V features redefined comfort, with improved driving position, reduced noise levels, convenient technology and enhanced functionality.

Easy-fold-down 60/40 split rear seatback
Easily folds flat using release levers located on the inside of the cargo area (or via pull-straps accessible from each rear door) to provide you with a larger cargo area.

Intelligent Multi-Information Display (i-MID)
It's like mission control for all your mission-critical functions. Have control of all your media in one place, at your fingertips. View turn-by-turn directions from the available navigation system. Make calls via Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink™. See and customize vehicle info and settings. Even add your own wallpaper display.

SMS Text Messaging
Integrating with your smartphone, this function alerts you to new text messages and reads them aloud so you can concentrate on driving.

Eco Assist™
Available on all models, this function coaches you to achieve better mileage by showing you how to improve your driving habits (white lights signify inefficient driving and switch to green when a more efficient style is being used).

ECON Mode
Every 2012 CR-V is equipped with a green ECON button to the left of the steering wheel, a feature whereby several operating characteristics of the vehicle are modified for enhancing fuel efficiency. The Drive-by-Wire Throttle System™ provides more gradual response, and to save additional energy, the climate control's upper fan speeds are lowered incrementally.

Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™ with bilingual Voice Recognition and steering wheel controls (Limited trim)
Features a 6.5-inch display and is integrated with the audio system so driving instructions can be heard over the speaker system. Voice recognition adds hands-free control to the navigation system.

Bluetooth® Streaming Audio
Enables audio files on your personal media devices or cell phones to be played wirelessly through the vehicle's audio system.

Multi-Angle Rearview Camera with Guidelines
Rear view mirrors can only do so much. This helps you see what's behind you to avoid those dreaded surprise bumps when backing up.
