2016 Honda CR-V

After a major refresh for 2015 that brought a new powertrain, significantly enhanced exterior and interior styling and a long list of new standard and available features, the 2016 Honda CR-V returns with a new Special Edition trim.

The new Special Edition CR-V is positioned above the LX trim by adding larger 17-inch alloy wheels with an exclusive two tone finish, second-row and rear privacy glass, and security system.

The 2016 CR-V includes the 7-inch capacitive touchscreen Display Audio telematics interface, allowing the user to tap, pinch, and swipe - just like on a smart phone or tablet - to control audio and other telematics features, including the available next-generation HondaLink and the Honda Satellite-linked Navigation System. All CR-Vs include the full-color "intelligent" Multi-Information Display that offers a range of customizable features via fingertip controls on the steering wheel.

The 2016 CR-V is powered by an Earth Dreams Technology 2.4-liter direct-injected 4-cylinder engine that produces 185 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. The engine is mated to a continuously variable transmission that provides smooth, seamless ratio changes.

Utilizing optimally tuned front MacPherson strut front and a rear multi-link suspension and features such as Vehicle Stability Assist and Motion-Adaptive Electric Power Steering, the 2016 CR-V provides a car-like driving experience. The rear multi-link system helps maximize rear seating and cargo space while providing stable and comfortable handling and ride quality.

The CR-V's next-generation Advanced Compatibility Engineering front body structure helps make the CR-V highly effective at absorbing and dispersing the energy of a frontal collision crash.
