Honda CRV
The Honda CR-V is a
compact SUV manufactured by Honda. It was
derived from the Honda Civic platform to satisfy
a public demand for an SUV from Honda. The
name CR-V stands for "Compact Recreational
Vehicle" (not comfortable runabout vehicle,
as it is sometimes incorrectly referred to).
It is available in both all wheel drive and
front wheel drive, although in some markets
such as the United Kingdom only all wheel
drive is offered.
Honda
produces CR-Vs in the United Kingdom and
Japan for the American market. Production
will move to one of its Ohio plants in 2006.
The CR-V is produced for the Chinese market
by the Dongfeng Honda Automobile Company,
a joint venture with Honda.
For 2005, the CR-V received
a minor refresh. The 2005 CR-V was now equipped
with 16 inch wheels; earlier models had 15
in wheels. Another visual change includes
the tailights, which no longer have amber
for the turn signals. They are now red and
white in color. The rear bumpers reflectors
are longer and narrower. The grill has also
been changed; it has 2 horizontal bars instead
of one. Lastly, the low beams and high beams
use dedicated bulbs, as opposed to a shared
bulb in the prior setup.
