Look at the 2017 Honda CR-V, and you will notice something this model hasn’t offered before: a turbocharged engine. The newest CR-V will mark the beginning of the fifth generation, and it is completely reengineered and redesigned. This includes an interior that feels more premium, new styling, and the first turbocharged engine seen on a CR-V.
2017 CR-V New Powertrain
Opting for the 2017 Honda CR-V EX or a higher trim level will give you the first turbocharged engine found on this model. It is a 1.5-liter DOHC with a turbocharger and direct injection. This engine enhances the power and efficiency of the vehicle for a responsive performance regardless of driving conditions. This engine gives you 190 horsepower. Combined with the enhanced aerodynamics of the CR-V’s body, this CR-V engine will get the best EPA fuel efficiency ratings within the entire class of compact SUVs. If you want a traditional engine, you can still get a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder on the base LX trim. Either way, you get a CVT complete with Honda G-Shift control logic.
New Chassis Design
To complement the new engine and enhance its performance, the CR-V has a new chassis design and body. It improves overall versatility and ground clearance while enhancing the ability to deliver confident and agile handling.
More on the New Design
As mentioned, the 2017 CR-V also has a redesign for the new generation, complete with an aggressive attitude. The front end has sharp design elements, like the aggressively stylized headlights and LED daytime running light array shaped like a wing. The wheelbase and hood have both grown while the rear overhang is short to give this SUV a sporty feel. The cabin has also gotten more spacious, and there is new technology.
