The CR-V is a bit larger, too, now slotting more evenly between the small HR-V and the three-row Pilot SUV.

Does the first-ever 7-seat Honda CR-V pack enough to revive the nameplate's status in India? It was the one that made SUVs fun to drive, slick and cool. The first two generations in India second and third globally changed mindsets and appetites. Despite being a two-row and petrol-only offering, the CR-V was much sought after. But the tide turned with the next-gen - a bland design, insipid interiors and soaring petrol prices made it a side note. But now, Honda is bringing the CR-V back with a bang this October. But when you spend some time with it the changes become apparent and the impact begins to feel much more dramatic. This CR-V now looks sleek but it has dialed up the tough quotient and premiumness too! Its face looks familiar but the grille and headlamps look more futuristic now. The all-LED headlamps give it a sparkle as does the chrome strip on the grille. The bulges on the bonnet and the creases on the sides are more pronounced, which definitely make it look taller and stronger. At the rear you can see that the tall tail lamps stand out even more thanks to the LED guide lights. If the CR-V feels more impressive, its because it is larger too. This new Honda has grown longer, wider and has a bigger footprint too. The 40mm longer wheelbase has allowed Honda to accommodate a third row of seats, a first for the CR-V. The AWD version has 208mm of ground clearance while the 2WD version has 198mm. Interior The CR-V has been thoroughly overhauled on the inside. Firstly, it feels a lot more upmarket now. The faux wood used on the dash and door pads looks and feels impressive. There are soft-touch materials everywhere. It feels hi-tech too! One sci-fi bit, much like in Lambos, is that there is no gear lever here. Instead, the CR-V uses buttons on the centre console to select Park, Reverse or Drive. The dash design features slim air-con vents that sit on top of the centre console, much like the. Who is inspired from whom, surely you can guess? It also doubles up as the interface for some climate control features such as fan speed and airflow direction. There is a large storage section between the front seats that includes cup holders, trays for your phone and cubby holes for keys and even a larger bin that can store a couple of soft drinks cans. However, the door pockets are quite slim and can accommodate only half-litre bottles. The front seats are very welcoming as they hug the occupant, and will please even larger passengers. The passenger seat has to be adjusted manually. As expected, there is plenty of headroom here. The cabin is wide, and while driving you realise that the Lane Watch camera is really helpful as otherwise you have to turn quite a bit to take a peek at the passenger side ORVM. The rear bench is comfortable too. They can slide back and forth, the cushioning is just right and the ribbed sections on the seatback feel quite comforting. There is plenty of space here to stretch out, especially if there is no one in the third row as this allows you to slide the second row back. However, with the sunroof and the roof-mounted aircon vents, head room is compromised and taller passengers will rub against the roof lining. To access the third row you need to pull on two straps, one to slide the seat forward and the other to flip it forward. Typical of Honda, there is a nifty strap that allows you to strap the seat up. So this is primarily for kids. The good thing is, even with the middle row slid all the way forward you can still get an adult to sit there comfortably. Once you get up to speed it is quiet. On the road the engine felt easy to drive, but a bit lazy. Its 300Nm of torque makes it responsive enough to keep pace with the traffic, and the 9-speed automatic gearbox helps it further. You have paddle shifters to switch gears if you are in a hurry, as the gearbox seems to be tuned more towards calm commuting. You will feel the lack of punch when you punch the throttle for an overtake. When it comes to comfort, on the undulating concrete roads outside Manila the CR-V's all-independent suspension felt a bit bumpy. On the smoother highways it felt calmer but it could be more plush. However, there is one clear upside here: despite being taller and larger than before the CR-V still feels very car-like to drive. The stopping power from the brakes was also sufficient to get the big Honda slowed down rapidly. Honda will also bring a front-wheel drive version to India too. Safety In India the CR-V will be available with six airbags, ABS, EBD and the Lane Watch system. The latter triggers a video feed from the camera mounted under the passenger side ORVM when you use the indicator to change lanes or to turn. In Indonesia the CR-V is available with Honda Sensing package on the AWD versions. These include radar- and camera-based safety technology like adaptive cruise control, road departure warning and blind spot detection. Variants In India the CR-V will be available only with an automatic transmission option for petrol and diesel. The diesel will be available with a choice of front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, both of which will come with a nine-speed automatic transmission. The two-litre petrol will be available only as a front-wheel drive and will use a CVT automatic transmission. However, the petrol is likely to be offered only with two-rows. Verdict: If you were looking for the fun to drive CR-V from 10 odd years ago, the 1. That it is now more premium from outside and inside, more spacious and also packs in more ruggedness makes it a lot more appealing now.
