Abdullah Hashim Co. Ltd. (AHCL), sole distributor for Honda products in Saudi Arabia, has launched the new fifth generation CR-V. The announcement was made at the AHCL head office in Jeddah.
The 2017 CR-V boasts of bold styling, a more premium interior and other features and technologies aimed at enhancing CR-V’s status as the benchmark in the SUV segment.
The new CR-V comes in four grades: DX and LX in 2-wheel drive (2WD) and EX and Touring in all-wheel drive (AWD).
At the heart of the 2017 CR-V is a 2.4-liter DOHC, direct injected i-VTEC engine that offers a smooth shifting and sporty CVT (continuously variable transmission) with Honda G-Shift control logic.
The 2.4-liter engine generates 184-horsepower @6400rpm and a torque of 244NM @3900rpm.
The fuel consumption statistics of the CR-V are 15.5km/liter for the DX and LX grades and 14.7km/liter for the EX and Touring grades.
The body and chassis design in the 2017 CR-V provide more agile and confident handling, greater drive refinement and superior overall versatility.
Its front MacPherson strut and rear multi-link suspension utilize specially tuned low-friction dampers, with both FWD and AWD models including tubular front and solid rear stabilizer bars that promote quick turn-in and flatter cornering.
Dual-pinion, variable ratio Electric Power Steering (EPS) also contributes to the CR-V’s direct steering feel.
The CR-V’s front-end design elements include aggressively styled headlights surrounded by wing-shaped LED Day Time Running Light (DRL) array on all grades. The CR-V’s windswept front-end appearance also includes signature Honda LED headlights (touring only).
Wide muscular fenders with athletic wheel arches, longer wheelbase and short rear overhang give the 2017 CR-V a more sophisticated and athletic presence.
The new CR-V also features LED taillights and wheel options in 17 inches (DX and LX grades) and 18 inches (EX and Touring grades) that help it stand out whether sitting still or taking off.
It also includes a Power Programmable Tailgate, which opens and closes at the push of a button with added tailgate height-adjustability feature (available on Touring grade only) which can be customized for drivers of all heights.
Other notable features include power door mirrors, side mirror LED indicators, rear fog lights, headlight off timer, various chrome garnishes and auto rain sensing wipers (Touring only).
