Want it? The CR-V’s got it.
Driver-Focused
Steering wheel-mounted controls and available heated leather seating make driving a CR-V even more enjoyable. Getting fresh air has never been easier with a one-touch power moonroof (EX, EX-L). Sit back and relax in the driver’s seat with 8-way power adjustment and power lumbar support. A dual-zone automatic climate control system keeps you warm and your passenger cool.

Stellar Audio
All CR-V audio systems are MP3- and Windows Media® Audio (WMA)-compatible.* The EX-L includes XM® Radio† and offers an available Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™** with voice recognition and rearview camera. And navigation-equipped EX-L vehicles add a digital audio-card reader that lets you play your downloaded music files. The EX-L without navigation boasts a 270-watt AM/FM/6-disc in-dash audio system with 7 speakers, including a subwoofer.

Perfectly Convenient
EX-L models feature a center console with two beverage holders, an MP3/auxiliary input jack and a 12-volt power outlet. Storage space abounds thanks to the upper and lower glove compartments and the rear dual-deck cargo shelf (EX, EX-L). Need more space? The 60/40 split rear seats have got you covered.

Passenger-Friendly
The CR-V seats five comfortably, and rear passengers can also enjoy their own rear vents and fold-down center armrest.

Connoisseurs of great taste rejoice! The CR-V is here.
Sleek Stance
Its sophisticated, aerodynamic shape and smooth, sleek lines make the CR-V look delicious.

Versatile
Whether you’re camping or valet parking at a 5-star restaurant, the CR-V is perfectly at home.

Easy-to-load
The lightweight lift-up tailgate is one piece and opens upward, providing shelter from the elements when loading cargo.

Detail-Oriented
Multi-reflector halogen headlights shine brightly on the road ahead. And folding power side mirrors give you a bit more parking room in tight spaces.
Exterior Features
Flat-Blade Wipers
Lower Step-In Height

The CR-V sports plenty of power and agility to make driving a thrill.
i-VTEC® Engineering
The 166-hp, DOHC i-VTEC® engine provides both low-rpm torque as well as plenty of horsepower at higher revs.

Easy Shifting
A 5-speed automatic transmission makes for smooth shifts and power when you need it. It also features our Grade Logic Control System, which helps put an end to gear-hunting when climbing uphill or driving back down.

The Drive Itself
The CR-V utilizes MacPherson strut front suspension for a better drive. And available Real Time ™ 4-wheel drive helps increase performance during adverse road conditions.

The CR-V boasts an impressive list of standard safety features, all reflecting the latest in Honda high tech.
Honda’s Safety Philosophy
Honda is committed to providing safety for everyone — not only for our own drivers and passengers, but also for other vehicle occupants. The knowledge gained from our studies helps us identify new technologies and ultimately helps provide safer vehicles on roadways for everyone. Learn more.

Top Safety Pick
Drive with confidence in the CR-V—the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has given it 5-star frontal and 5-star side impact ratings*. And the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has recognized the Honda CR-V as a 2009 "Top Safety Pick."

Ingeniously Designed
With advanced technologies like the anti-lock braking system (ABS), the driver retains steering control when braking hard. Plus, a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) alerts the driver before pressure loss in any tire becomes significantly low.†

Peace of Mind
Sometimes collisions can’t be avoided. So standard safety features in the CR-V can help provide superior defense. Our Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure is designed to absorb impacts of vehicles of various sizes in the event of front-end collisions. And automatic tensioning seat belts, side curtain airbags and dual-stage, dual-threshold front airbags (SRS) all help to protect you and your passengers in sufficient impacts.

*Government star ratings are part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA’s) New Car Assessment Program (www.safercar.gov). Model tested with standard side-impact air bags (SAB’s).†For optimal tire wear and performance, tire pressure should be checked regularly with a gauge. Do not rely solely on the monitor system. See your owner’s manual for details.

For three decades, Honda has played a leading role in meeting environmental challenges.
Honda Engineering
i-VTEC®, our latest version of our variable valve timing and lift electronic control, ensures that the CR-V engine achieves both power and efficiency.

ULEV
The CR-V sports a smart, efficient powerplant that provides low-rpm torque as well as plenty of horsepower at higher revs. It’s no wonder the CR-V earned an Ultra-Low-Emission Vehicle (ULEV) rating by the California Air Resources Board.

Modern Thinking
In designing the CR-V, our focus was on aerodynamics, modern lines and a meticulous attention to detail. So not only is it sleek and sophisticated, but it's also shaped to enhance fuel mileage and increase fuel efficiency.* So feel free to give in to your craving–without any guilt.

* EPA-estimated mpg 20/27/23 (city/highway/combined 2WD) and 20/26/22 (city/highway/combined 4WD). Based on 2009 EPA mileage estimates, reflecting new EPA fuel economy methods beginning with 2008 models. Use for comparison purposes only. Do not compare to models before 2008. Your actual mileage will vary depending on how you drive and maintain your vehicle.
