Consider a smart, spirited vehicle that feels
at ease in virtually any driving situation, responding
instantly and intelligently to changing demands. That's the
versatility of the stylish new CR-V, thanks to ingenious
Honda engineering for excellence at all speeds.
Experience assertive i-VTEC power and ample
torque in city driving and far beyond, and rely on
eco-friendly fuel economy, and clean running. The Honda CR-V
opens up a world of freedom.
Intelligent Driving Enjoyment
Honda brings a breakthrough in automotive design to the CR-V
-- a new lightweight, compact, and quiet 2.0-liter DOHC
i-VTEC engine. The i-VTEC engine incorporates a new variable
dual-passage intake manifold, which is long at low rpm and
short at high rpm. This greatly enhances torque at low and
mid-range speeds while also providing high-power output at
high speeds.
The placement of the engine and spare tire, Honda has
lowered the center of gravity, and combined it with
lightweight well-balanced body rigidity, fine-tuned new
suspensions, and wider treads. It all adds up to delightful
sedan-style performance with agile moves and refined ride to
satisfy driver and passengers alike.
Precision Timing with VTC
Isolating the camshaft from its driving
sprocket, the VTC mechanism permits continuous accurate
electronic control of relative rotational alignment between
the two. This allows a constant match of valve timing to
varying demands, providing ideal combustion in all rpm
ranges.
Smart About Fuel Savings
Innovative i-VTEC technology dramatically improves
combustion efficiency and reduces intake resistance. At the
same time, a roller-type rocker arm is used to diminish
valve train friction. As a result, the new i-VTEC powerplant
exhibits exemplary fuel efficiency while providing ample
power on demand.
Eco-power for Cleaner Air
The new CR-V uses i-VTEC intake control to achieve optimal
combustion. In addition, the fuel injector creates an
extremely fine air/ fuel mixture.
This works with an optimized
layout of the exhaust pipe and a highly efficient catalyzer,
reducing hazardous elements in emissions.
