The European version of the fourth-generation Honda CR-V crossover was officially unveiled at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, but the name included the Concept prefix. Maybe that's why the visitors of the exhibition were able to evaluate only the external design of the new Honda SRV 2013, there was no way to get inside and evaluate the salon.
Traditionally, European versions of almost all cars have richer internal content and it seems that the Japanese did not have time to prepare a high-quality interior for the exhibition. "American" Honda CR-V 2WD in a new guise since the fall of 2011 is sold at full speed in the North American market at a price of 22495 US dollars.
A bit of the history of the Honda CRV crossover. The first generation CR-V appeared in 1995, it was replaced in 2002 by the second generation, the third generation of the Honda CR-V was released in 2007. The crossover of all three generations enjoyed steady and stable demand on both sides of the ocean, and over seventeen years of production, Honda has sold more than 5 million CP-B.
Design
Let's evaluate the appearance of the new Honda CR-V 4 for Europe with the gaze of the buyer. I would like to say right away that there are a minimum of differences from the American version - the turn signals in the headlights are white and that's it (globalization, however).
The front of the crossover is decorated with slanted and tapered headlights with a complex technical content, including fashionable and necessary daytime running lights (LED lamps). Further, the review of the Honda SRV 4 is stopped by a false radiator grille with three horizontal slats, which rests on a protruding insert. The front bumper has become more massive and received a powerful crossover protection in the form of a lining, stylized as an aerodynamic lip. Fog lights are stylishly located on mesh inserts along the edges of the bumper. Plastic protection wraps around the entire crossover body and carefully protects the front and rear bumpers, wheel arch edges, sills and door lower edges.
From the photo of the 2013 Honda CR-V, we can say that the crossover profile looks more solid and stricter than its predecessor, thanks to the rapidly rising sill line and chrome edging of the window frames. Further, the sidewalls of the body appear to be reviewed, which have become more magnificent and expressive, the wheel arches have acquired a perfectly circular shape and were distributed in size.
Looking at a photo of a fourth-generation Honda CRV, displaying the stern of a Japanese crossover, the gaze stops at a huge, almost vertical tailgate with miniature glass. Chopped side light shades (LED lamps) are located high on the ends of the powerful roof pillars and repeat their bend (stylistically resemble the rear lighting equipment of the latest generation Toyota LC Prado). The new Honda CR-V looks brutal, but at the same time reckless and sporty. The novelty has become a little shorter - by 44 mm and lower by 25 mm, with the same wheelbase dimensions.
- External dimensions dimensions Honda CR-V 2013 model year are: length - 4530 mm, width - 1820 mm, height - 1654 mm, base - 2620 mm, ground clearance ( clearance) - 185 mm.
- It is possible to install tires on iron wheels 215/70 R16 or light-alloy wheels 225 / 65R17, 225 / 60R18, enlarged arches will also accept R19 wheels.
Interior
The salon of the new Honda CR-V of 2013 model welcomes its five passengers with new, higher-quality finishing materials and improved sound and noise insulation. The front dashboard has become more refined in shape, the center console with a tide to accommodate the "handle" of the gearbox control has decreased in size.
In the first row, space has been increased in all directions, comfortable heated seats (optional for a driver's seat with an electric drive) are installed 10 mm lower. The multifunctional steering wheel is of the optimal size for active control, the optitronic dashboard is informative and readable in any light. The center console is crowned with a color screen of the on-board computer, below is a 5-inch monitor of the multimedia system (music, telephone, navigator, rear-view camera), underneath is the climate control system.
In the second row, the interior of the Honda SRV 4 can comfortably accommodate three adult passengers, thanks to the seats installed 38 mm lower (there is more space above the riders' heads) and the minimum height of the transmission tunnel, even in the all-wheel drive version. The rear seats got an electric folding drive, pressing a button after 15 seconds, the transformation process of the cabin is completed. With a five-seat configuration trunk Honda CR-V 4 is able to accommodate 569 liters (up to the curtain), adding the second row we get 1669 liters of usable volume. A pleasant bonus is the increased by 140 mm in comparison with the previous generation CR-V the length of the cargo area up to 1570 mm and the loading height decreased by 30 mm.
As a filling with comfort functions and electronic assistants, the 4th generation Honda CRV boasts dual-zone climate control, an electric driver's seat, heated mirrors and front seats, telescopic steering column adjustment, advanced music CD MP3 AUX USB DVD, adaptive cruise control, tracking system lane, leather interior and much more.
Overview of technical specifications
For the European version, the technical characteristics of the 2013 Honda SR-B include engines three options:
- A pair of diesels: 2.2 i-DTEC (150 hp) and the latest 1.6 i-DTEC (120 hp),
- as well as petrol 2.0 i-VTEC (150 hp).
Perhaps for Russian and Ukrainian buyers will also be available gasoline 2.4 DOHC i-VTEC (166 hp), familiar from the previous generation of the crossover, but modernized with increased power. The motors will be equipped with a start-stop system, as gearboxes - 6 manual gearboxes or 5 automatic gearboxes. The crossovers will have front-wheel drive 2WD, for an extra charge, the AWD system with advanced control (Real Time All-Wheel-Drive), which sends torque to all four wheels when starting from a standstill.
Road test Honda SRV 4 with all-wheel drive shows that after making sure that there is a hard surface under the front wheels, the electronics disables the rear wheel drive and turns it on only when the front axle wheels slip. The suspension of all wheels is independent, MacPherson struts in front, multi-link double levers in the rear, electronically controlled electric power steering. Disc brakes with ABC and EBD, Brake Assist, Trailer Stability Assist (TSA), Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), a system capable of warning of a collision and stopping the vehicle on its own.
The start of sales of the new Honda CRV 2013 in Europe, of course, in Russia with the CIS countries, is scheduled for early autumn 2012. From trusted sources it became known that the 4th generation Honda CR-V crossover with 2WD front-wheel drive will be officially supplied to Russia and Ukraine. Mono drive version
Honda CRV 2013 will be much cheaper than the all-wheel drive modification.
The price for the new generation of Honda CRV starts at 1,149,000 rubles for an all-wheel-drive crossover with a petrol 150-horsepower engine and 6 manual gearboxes in the initial version of Elegance (8 airbags, climate control, heated front seats and electric mirrors, ABS with ESP, multimedia system), surcharge for 5 automatic transmissions - 70 thousand rubles. Richly "packed" Honda CRV in the Lifestyle configuration will cost 1,349 thousand rubles.
The 5th generation Honda CR-V crossover went on sale in Russia in mid-2017. As expected, the SUV came to us with two naturally aspirated gasoline engines (2.0 and 2.4 liters), an uncontested variator and four-wheel drive.
Body dimensions
Compared to the 4th generation car, the novelty has slightly increased in size. As a result, the body length was 4586 mm, the width was 1855 mm, and the height, taking into account the fin antenna on the roof, was 1689 mm. The wheelbase of the 5th generation crossover is 2660 mm, the ground clearance is 208 mm.
Motors and transmission
If the American version of the 2017-2018 Honda SRV boasts a 1.5-liter turbo unit with a capacity of 193 hp, the Russian version of the SUV is content with exclusively atmospheric "fours".
2.0 liter engine (R20A2)
The "junior" 2.0-liter engine dates back to 2007. The engine has an aluminum cylinder block, a variable intake manifold and a 16-valve SOHC (single camshaft). Since there are no hydraulic lifters in the valve system, the clearances are adjusted manually using a screw-nut pair. According to the regulations, the procedure is performed every 40,000 km. With timely performance of maintenance work, the engine resource is at least 200,000 km - this is one of the most reliable units among their own kind. In the Russian specification, the motor "produces" 150 hp. and 189 Nm.
2.4 liter engine (K24W1)
It is a modern variation of the 2.4-liter K24 engine from the 2002 series. The engine is equipped with direct injection, i-VTEC valve control mechanism, twin-shaft timing (DOHC). Compression ratio - 11.1: 1, maximum power - 186 hp, peak torque - 244 Nm.
Both Honda CR-V engines are combined with a CVT. Traction is directed to all four wheels (Real Time All-Wheel Drive). The front suspension is a classic MacPherson struts, the rear is an independent multi-link design.
Fuel consumption
The version with a 2.0-liter engine consumes an average of 7.5 l / 100 km, the version with a 2.4-liter engine - 7.8 liters.

Honda SRV is a compact crossover. Originally from Japan, where engineers presented the final concept car in 1995. This is the first SUV model ever produced by Honda. Serial production began in 1996, after it was presented at the Chicago Auto Show. How roomy is this crossover? Let's try to figure it out in this article.
The closest competitors of the car include the following models: Toyota Rav4, Volkswagen Tiguan, Mazda CX-5, Mitsubishi Outlander, Chevrolet Captiva, Renault Koleos and others. According to its dimensions, the model occupies a niche in Honda's lineup between the HR-V mini-crossover and the full-size Pilot.
The second generation appeared in 2002 and was designed mainly for the North American and European markets. The car has become heavier and larger than the first generation, although it was built on the platform of the Honda Civic hatchback. The car received a new 160-horsepower engine.
The third version of the CR-V was introduced in 2007 and stayed on the market until 2011. The design of the car has changed a lot - the forms have become more sporty, the lines are streamlined. This is made possible by a lower but wider body. Due to the new bumper design, the car was perceived as more compact. At the same time, it had a more powerful 2.4-liter engine, developing 166hp, like the Honda Accord. For European buyers, the choice of internal combustion engines was much wider: diesel and gasoline, with a volume of 2.2 and 2 liters, respectively. Engine displacement for Europe has been reduced for better fuel economy.
The fourth generation CR-V appeared in 2011. A distinctive feature was the presence of a new intelligent all-wheel drive, implemented using Real Time All Whell Drive technology
The fifth generation entered production in 2016 and is currently being produced. The car was built on a completely new platform that was first announced for the Honda Civic. The volume of the engine increased again - 2.4 liters, a version with a turbo engine appeared, giving out up to 193 hp.
Volumes.
All changes in the generation affected both the exterior of the car and its interior. Depending on the year of manufacture, the volume of the luggage compartment either increased or decreased for the sake of design solutions.
Trunk volume Honda CR-V, depending on the model year:
- Honda CR-V restyling 1999, suv, 1st generation, RD - 374l
- Honda CR-V restyling 2004, suv, 2nd generation (Supplied only to Europe) - 527l
- Honda CR-V 2007, suv, 3rd generation, RE - 556l
- Honda CR-V restyling 2009, suv, 3rd generation, RE - 442l
- Honda CR-V 2012, suv, 4th generation, RE, RM - 589l

- Honda CR-V 2017, suv, 5th generation, RW - 522l
How to install roof rails on a Honda CR-V.
In any case, 500 liters is a large enough space for loading a large amount of luggage, given the fact that with the backrests folded in the rear row, the usable volume increases to 1000 liters. But how else can you increase the usable space in your car? The easiest way is to install the box on the roof. To attach it to the car, you need roof rails. Not in all versions they were installed on cars and some car owners have to screw them on their own. Correct installation of roof rails on the Honda CR-V takes place in several stages:
- We remove the plugs on the roof of the car: in front, in the middle and behind.
- We install plastic adapters in the place of attachment. We fasten them with 10 nuts.
- Install the rubber bands.
- We start fastening the roof rails. It is necessary to screw on from the front of the roof rails. If you mount from the back, the holes in the front will not match and you will have to disassemble the structure.
- We tighten the bolts. The main thing is not to twist, otherwise you can break the plastic strip of the fastener. It is also necessary to ensure that the elastic does not slide out and lies flat.
- With the front and rear fasteners in place, move on to the middle section.
- We install the plugs in place.
At this stage, the installation of the longitudinal rails is completed. Further, depending on the type of box, it may be necessary to install transverse fasteners, or install a special roof rack for transporting bulky cargo.
It is known that the first crossovers to appear on the global automotive market were models presented by companies such as Toyota (1994) and Honda (1995). After them, a lot of various vehicles came out, which boast improved technical characteristics and improved appearance, but the first models that appeared do not lose their former popularity. It is worth noting that the Honda cr v is successfully sold to this day, given that four generations have changed over more than twenty years of the model's history. In this article, we will talk in detail about the CRV crossover and consider what characteristic changes have been made to the appearance and exterior of the third-generation pre-styling vehicle (2008).
Model history
Despite the fact that at the time of the presentation of the first generation, this car was classified as a crossover, the model has always been distinguished by excellent cross-country ability and was offered to buyers in an all-wheel drive version. The first copies of the Honda CRV were produced only at Japanese factories, so for a long time vehicles were equipped with right-hand drive and were not intended for European car markets. The first left-hand drive crossover did not appear immediately - it went on sale only in 1997. Initially, the manufacturer did not bother to provide various configurations and this caused a storm of indignation among motorists. It is worth noting that already from the first generation, this model was offered in three versions - all-wheel drive, front-wheel drive and after restyling (1999).
The release of the first generation was carried out until 2001, then it was replaced by the second, improved, generation, which was implemented until 2001, then the Honda CRV 2 model arrived in time. The external appearance of the crossover remained almost the same as that of its predecessor, however technical characteristics have received an off-road character.
The SUV was aimed at the Japanese and American markets, was equipped with a powerful engine and was offered in all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive versions. The copies that were sold in Europe had a 2-liter engine with a capacity of 160 horsepower. The basis for the creation of this generation was the Civic-7 passenger car. In 2005, a restyling was carried out, which modified the body, making it more modern. The interior of the model has always been distinguished by its convenience and spaciousness; since 2005, high-quality leatherette has been used for its decoration, which has replaced textiles. The presentation of the third generation took place in the fall of 2006. The world saw a completely new and unlike its predecessor car. The first thing that immediately caught my eye was the change in overall dimensions.
The car has become more compact and its body is more streamlined. If earlier the spare wheel was outside, then this time a place for it was allocated in the trunk. The choice of power plants remained the same as that of the third generation. To date, you can see the fourth generation crossovers on sale. They rolled off the assembly line in 2011 and are presented in several trim levels. Honda engineers carried out a restyling and we can already say for sure that nothing at all remained from the first copies of the model, which appeared in 1995. The strengths of the car are its relatively small dimensions, off-road character and presentable appearance. As practice shows, the third generation of the famous crossover was the best-selling and most popular, so now we will analyze in detail what was special about it.
Third generation 2008
As already mentioned, the presentation of the third generation of the honda cr v model took place in the fall of 2006. The car has changed, it has become more compact. The spare wheel, which was previously outside, has now been moved to the trunk. It is impossible not to note that the luggage compartment of the vehicle is spacious, even if it belongs to the class of crossovers. This time, the buyer was offered a car with three engines to choose from - a 2.0-liter gasoline, 2.4-liter gasoline, and a 2.2-liter turbodiesel. Already at the time of 2007, a year after going on sale, the model topped the TOP of the best-selling cars.
It can be said that the 2008 Honda CR V is a compact crossover that sits on a par with rivals such as the Toyota Rav4 and Subaru Forester in terms of technical equipment.
Model appearance
Honda SRV 3 generations is a compact SUV, but at first glance it becomes clear that in fact it has much more in common with powerful SUVs. The car looks aggressive, defiant and modern even at the time of 2017. Compared to the crossovers of previous years, the radiator grille has changed its shape, it has become much larger. Head optics have an oblong shape. The specialists of the manufacturing company carefully worked it out so that the headlights provide illumination of the area at any time of the day. Thanks to the high ground clearance, the car boasts good cross-country ability. The body has a shape characteristic of the crossover class, the rear of the vehicle is slightly larger than the front. The luggage compartment of the model is quite spacious. In previous models, the trunk lid opens to the side, but in the third generation, the design was changed, so now it rises entirely upwards. The body has a lot of chrome elements, which gives the appearance of elegance and completeness. It is safe to say that this car is an excellent option for those people who need a comfortable and powerful small car. An interesting feature is that the manufacturer did not define a specific target audience, boldly declaring that this model is suitable for almost any purpose.
Vehicle interior
Cars manufactured by Honda have always been distinguished by a comfortable and stylish interior. The third generation cr v model has a huge number of auxiliary options and functions. For the interior trim, high quality materials were used that are pleasant to the touch and are also durable. For added convenience, all seat backs can be adjusted at the touch of a button. In addition, in the back row of seats you can see armrests in which you can put two glasses for the duration of the trip. The driver's seat is designed based on the anatomical features of the human body, so even on the longest journey, fatigue will be minimized. In the cold season, the interior is well heated. A distinctive feature is the presence of an additional socket in the luggage compartment. The doors open and close without noise and effort due to their low weight. In the salon, the manufacturer has installed a high-quality multimedia system that provides excellent sounding of music and movies.
Specifications
Car Honda CRV 2008 is offered to motorists with two types of gasoline power units to choose from - a volume of 2.0 and, respectively, 2.4 liters. In addition, a 2.2 liter diesel version has been developed specifically for the European market. This decision can be called really correct due to low fuel consumption, as well as good power indicators. But according to the reviews of the owners of this vehicle, we are forced to draw a disappointing conclusion: for our state, this is not the best option. Due to the low quality level of diesel fuel, the engine starts to junk and fails. Therefore, if you decide to purchase a model, we strongly recommend that you turn your attention to a car with a 2.4 liter power plant. This design consumes relatively little fuel, but at the same time has good dynamics.
The motor is really reliable, therefore, with careful operation, the SUV rarely needs service. The 2008 model provides for the presence of two types of transmissions - a six-speed (with a manual gearbox) and a five-speed (with an automatic gearbox). It is worth noting that rear-wheel drive on all-wheel drive vehicles in off-road conditions is connected automatically and without any delay.

Honda SRV 3rd generation was released on November 13, 2006, the car was sold in Russia with 2.0 and 2.4 liter engines. The 3rd generation was produced until 2012.
The article provides an overview of the third generation Honda CR-V 2008, video test drive, technical characteristics, weak
locations, tips and maintenance intervals recommended by Honda Japan.
Honda SRV has never been positioned as an off-road vehicle, it has always been an off-road light vehicle - Light Cross-Country. With the release of the 3rd generation, the head of the European division of Honda said that when developing the SRV, the emphasis was on urban driving performance, they say, we taught the crossover to be controlled like a sedan or a hatchback.
Honda SRV 3rd generation
Usually, when releasing SUVs, marketers try to convince buyers of off-road qualities, but Honda went its own way. Indeed, the third generation SRV 2008 is driven like a sedan and not like a cheap sedan.
The Honda CR-V 3 cannot be called a light or dynamic car, but it does feel a certain composure and excitement in driving, and many automakers will envy the smoothness of the ride. 
Outwardly, Honda SRV 2008 looks more like a city car than an SUV. The urban crossover in the third generation has got an elegant appearance, looking at the CR-V you don't even want to get it dirty on the road. The spare wheel on the back door disappeared, and it began to open upwards, not sideways.
In a word, owning a 3rd generation Honda SRV has become not only convenient and practical, but also prestigious.
The salon of the 3rd generation is one of the best in the class. Expensive, pleasant to the touch materials, functionality and pretty architecture of the torpedo make the driver and passengers feel comfortable.
Interior of Honda SRV 3 The seats are standard, sitting in them you feel at home, and in the top-end configuration the driver has eight electrically adjustable seats and a lumbar support.
The rear passengers were also not offended, the rear sofa is so comfortable that it lulls you on the go. The trunk is voluminous, for those who like to take with them everything that is horrible is the very thing. 
Engines and transmissions, 4WD
The 3rd generation Honda SRV is equipped with 2 engines: a 2.0 liter R20A with a capacity of 150 horsepower and 192 Nm of torque and an engine from the previous generation 2.4 with the K24A index, with a capacity of 166 horsepower and 220 Nm of torque.
Honestly, Honda SRV 2008 with a 2-liter engine does not amaze with dynamics, in a word, a pensioner car, with a 2.4-liter unit is already more fun. For the European market, crossovers were equipped with a turbocharged diesel engine with a volume of 2.2 liters, with a capacity of 140 horsepower and 340 Nm of torque, the engine is no worse than gasoline atmospheric counterparts. We have only a few cars with this motor, they were brought in from Europe.
Both motors are reliable if properly maintained, fluids changed and valves adjusted on time. We will talk about maintenance of motors further in a separate chapter.
With a 2-liter engine, the 2008 CR-V was equipped with a manual and automatic transmission, the version with a 2.4-liter "heart" was equipped only with an "automatic". "Automatic" on a Honda 5-speed. 
The 3rd generation was equipped with both front and all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive connected, called DPS (Dual Pump System) - a system with 2 pumps. As already clear, SRV's 4WD is based on two pumps, one pump is connected to the front wheels, the other to the rear wheels. When the front wheels slip, a difference appears in the operation of the pumps and one pump starts pumping more, thereby the torque begins to be transmitted to the rear wheels, when the balance of the rear and front wheels is equal, the system is turned off, all the moment is transmitted to the front wheels.
It is worth noting that DPS does not need electronic units, all of its actions are based on mechanical work, this increases the reliability of the structure and speeds up the connection of the rear wheels, thereby saving fuel.
The system is reliable and works properly, if you change the fluid every 40,000 kilometers, only the original Honda DPSF-2 needs to be poured, more than one liter is needed for replacement.
Summing up, we can say that Honda SRV 3 generations from a simple, practical, reliable, has grown into a solid car that has retained the best qualities of the previous generation.
