2012 Honda CR-V

Totally new. Totally versatile.

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.





CR-V EXTERIOR

The substance of style

The all-new CR-V is one of the most versatile compact SUVs on the road ? and its completely redesigned style is just as dynamic. It has a sophisticated appearance that's both modern and aggressive, with deeper body lines and a bold three-bar grille.




Light the way
Improved visibility means improved safety. The available fog lights give you added confidence when driving conditions are at their most challenging.




Get a handle on things
Standard on the all-new Touring trim level, chrome door handles amp up the sophistication with a unique flash of style.




Improved reflection
The heated power side mirrors not only help to keep away the frost and fog, but they're aerodynamically designed to reduce wind noise. And on the driver's side, there is an expanded view driver's mirror that provides an even wider view.

One-touch power moonroof
Let the sunlight (and moonlight) in. At the simple push of a button, the available one-touch power moonroof will fully open or close. The tilt feature allows for controlled ventilation and the sliding shade lets you control the amount of light you want.



Silver roof rails
Highly functional, incredibly stylish. The available silver roof rails are everything the CR-V is. Together with the roof rack crossbars offered as an accessory, they provide another level of utility while adding to its dramatic appearance. (Accessorized Model Shown)

CR-V SAFETY
Solid on safety
Safety for Everyone is our commitment to providing one of the highest levels of standard safety features to help ensure occupant safety and protection.* And through real-world research, Honda is also focusing on developing unequalled measures of protection to enhance the safety of occupants in other vehicles and even pedestrians ? an innovative idea that is quickly becoming a reality.
*Based on tests conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).



Real Time AWD™
(Intelligent Control System™)

For drivers who want the four-season confidence of all-wheel drive, the available Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™ debuts on the 2012 CR-V. It helps to give you traction in low-grip driving conditions such as snow, rain and unpaved road surfaces, and provides a faster, more intuitive initial response when a loss of traction is detected.

Real Time AWD's operation is completely automatic, which means the system is always ready to transfer torque to the rear wheels, allowing you to keep your focus on driving. And the system can operate at all speeds, so when torque transfer to the rear wheels is not required, such as when cruising, it automatically lowers drive to the rear wheels for reduced drag.

Hill Start Assist
New in the 2012 CR-V, Hill Start Assist helps to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards when on an incline. If you switch from the brake pedal to the accelerator while stopped on a hill, the system activates and halts the vehicle.



Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®)

Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control senses and corrects oversteer and understeer scenarios to enhance handling and cornering stability, while Traction Control helps to ensure grip during acceleration on loose or slippery surfaces.
.


Advanced Safety

The CR-V comes with a wide range of class-leading safety features, including 6 airbags, Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, whiplash mitigation front seat design and Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).



Anti-lock brakes

For safe stopping, the 4-wheel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps you maintain control under hard braking conditions, while Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) with Brake Assist helps to optimize braking power based on weight distribution inside the vehicle.
.


Exceptional Control
When you get behind the wheel of the new CR-V you immediately notice how incredibly responsive it is. Motion-Adaptive Electric Power-Assisted
Rack-and-Pinion Steering (EPS) instantly responds to your steering and will automatically adjust the amount of power assist appropriate to the vehicle's behavior and dynamic situation. This gives you exceptional control and maneuverability. And because it's more lightweight than a conventional hydraulic pump power steering system, it contributes to the overall vehicle efficiency.




Child safety
The exceptional safety in the CR-V also applies to your most precious cargo. Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) give you a simple and convenient method to install compatible child safety seats. Built-in, ready-to-use anchors and tethers allow compatible child safety seats to be installed without using the vehicle's seat belt system.

We've got your back
The new CR-V has taken safety to a new level with a multi-angle rearview camera. Standard on all trim levels, it provides you with multiple perspectives from behind your vehicle. Toggling between three different views, the image appears on the i-MID screen or the available navigation display on the Touring model (as shown).


Hands-free communication
Stay connected without taking your hands off the wheel. HandsFreeLink™-bilingual Bluetooth® lets you take calls by wirelessly connecting your mobile phone with the audio system.

*SMS text feature is only compatible with certain devices.

Smart seats
The most significant new interior feature in the completely redesigned CR-V is the easy fold-down 60/40 split rear seatback. With just one touch, each side of the rear seat can automatically fold down to open up even more cargo space. In fact, you get over 2,000 L of space for your stuff.

CR-V PERFORMANCE
Power and efficiency
The all-new CR-V brings more power and efficiency to an already remarkable ride with the enhanced 185-hp, aluminum-alloy, 16-valve, DOHC, i-VTEC® 4-cylinder engine. Plus, with the Drive-by-Wire Throttle System™, you will enjoy smoother acceleration the instant you need it. For an added touch of excitement, the quick-shifting 5-speed automatic transmission helps to ensure that power and efficiency are optimized on all kinds of terrain. To top it all off, the CR-V is a low-emission vehicle with a Tier 2 Bin 5 rating.



Commanding handling
The all-new CR-V, with its car-like handling and maneuverability, is even more fun to drive thanks to its lower centre of gravity, MacPherson strut front suspension, multi-link rear suspension, Motion-Adaptive Electric Power-Assisted Rack-and-Pinion Steering (EPS) and available 17-inch alloy wheels.


Eco Assist™

Standard in all CR-V trim levels, Eco Assist™ coaches you to drive more efficiently. Coloured lights on either side of the speedometer show if the CR-V is being driven in an efficient style.



ECON mode
Take fuel efficiency to the next level. Press the ECON button and your CR-V will automatically adjust the engine and non-essential functions to go into super-efficient mode. It's a quick and easy way to minimize your fuel consumption.



Exceptional fuel economy
The new CR-V is not only a more enjoyable ride, it's also a more efficient one. It achieves an exceptional city/highway fuel economy rating of 9.0/6.4 L/100 km in front-wheel-drive models, and 9.2/6.6 L/100km in models equipped with the available Real Time AWD™ system. In fact, the CR-V is one of the most fuel efficient vehicles in its class.



Real Time AWD™
(Intelligent Control System™)

New for 2012, Real Time AWD with the Intelligent Control System™ provides exceptional control and traction to help maximize the performance of the CR-V. Enjoy corner-carving confidence on dirt roads or dry pavement, rain or snow.

Real Time AWD helps to give you traction in low-grip driving conditions, along with a faster, more intuitive initial response when a loss of traction is detected.

Real Time AWD's operation is completely automatic, which means the system is always ready to transfer torque to the rear wheels, allowing you to keep your focus on driving. And the system can operate at all speeds, so when torque transfer to the rear wheels is not required, such as when cruising, it automatically lowers drive to the rear wheels for reduced drag.
