March 23 2022 - admin@wikimotive.com
When it’s time to upgrade to a new vehicle, Hondas are definitely worth looking into. As your local Honda Dealer in Minot we want to help you make a great decision when looking at your next vehicle purchase. There are a lot of different vehicles out there but one that we feel is truly an incredible fit for most drivers is the Honda CR-V.
While hunting for a new vehicle, there are probably a few factors you have already considered. Safety may be the first thing when beginning your search. You want something safe, with the ability to handle the kind of unpredictable weather Minot is known for. While these are always essential components, you are most likely also looking for something comfortable with luxury and space for both yourself and your passengers. Well, let us show you ten reasons how the Honda CR-V has all of these features and more!
#1: Miles Per Gallon
The MPG on this compact SUV is 27 in the city and 32 on the highway.[a] The CR-V has a 14-gallon tank which means that on one gallon, our CR-V’s can get you anywhere between 378 to 448 miles, give or take a few miles based on your driving style. Being able to save on gasoline is a real lifesaver, so we know this MPG makes our CR-Vs a very appealing vehicle for any driver!#2: Life Span
Honda is renowned across the motor vehicle industry as one of the top-performing vehicle manufacturers. It’s a well-known concept that if you want to invest in a vehicle that will last, a Honda is the way to go. Most Honda’s will last a minimum of 200,000 miles, but with proper care and maintenance, a Honda CR-V can operate at top performance for as many as 300,000 miles without issues. Like most manufacturers, Honda sweetens the deal by offering their limited manufacturer warranties to the CR-Vs.#3: Safety Features
Named as a top safety pick and carrying a five-star rating for safety features from the IIHS and NHTSA, the Honda CR-V boasts safety features as part of the standard model package![b] [c] The CR-V comes equipped with forward collision warning and braking. It also has lane assist, lane departure warnings, and adaptive cruise control features. The CR-V also comes with vehicle stability assistance and traction control, which minimizes the chance of hydroplaning on wet roads or slipping off of icy ones. If those safety features aren’t enough, the CR-V also has automatic headlight settings, an anti-locking braking system and controlled braking, and an electronic brake-force distribution system. It comes equipped with 6 standard airbags, and the hood and front fenders are designed specifically to absorb energy. These features mean that there is increased safety for both driver and passengers. You can feel confident that your family, your dog, and your crock pot with your family’s secret soup are safe.#4: Infotainment
When the radio and television were in their infancy, the idea that car manufacturers would be putting them on wheels seemed far-fetched, and yet here we are today with so many options available. The Honda infotainment comes in the standard trim with a 5-inch LED screen. The base model also includes a Bluetooth connection for your smart devices and a 160-watt audio system that plays out of 4 speakers throughout the CR-V. The infotainment features can be adjusted based on what trim you select. The CR-V EX, EX-L, and Touring trims all have a 7-inch LED touch screen and the ability to interface with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The EX and EX-L trim models come with 180-watt audio systems, and the Touring trim boasts a 330-watt system that plays through 9 speakers.
#5: Cargo Space
The Honda CR-V has a cargo space of 39.2 cubic feet when the seats are in position and 75.8 cubic feet when all the seats are folded down, allowing for the use of the entire back of the CR-V. For reference purposes, 39.2 cubic feet can hold a kitchen table, four chairs, and a microwave. So basically, you can stuff a good portion of your kitchen in the CR-V before you’ve even folded the seats down. So you can take your family, your dog, your secret soup crockpot, and the table to eat it on safely down the street in your CR-V.#6: Towing Capacity
Most people think of a truck when they are needing to tow something. However, with 1500 lbs of towing capacity, a CR-V can tackle most towing needs without a struggle! For example, imagine some of the larger items associated with vacationing, such as a jet ski trailer, a camp trailer, four-wheelers, or even a boat. The CR-V can easily handle these camping necessities, making it ideal for those who spend a large amount of time in the great outdoors. The CR-V has you covered!#7: Horsepower
The Honda CR-V clocks in at 190 hp, which is pretty standard for many SUVs on the market. This means Honda was able to introduce all these incredible safety and storage features while maintaining the vehicle’s ability to perform. 190 hp emphasizes the vehicle’s ability to both perform and maintain excellent fuel efficiency.#8: Customizability
We touched a bit on the different trim options in reason number four on infotainment, but we will dive in a little bit deeper here. The Honda CR-V comes in EX, EX-L, LX, and Touring. These different models offer different infotainment options, as noted earlier, but they also allow you to customize your vehicle to fit your specific needs. Depending on the trim, you can have leather or cloth seats, navigation, park assist, all-wheel drive or two-wheel drive, privacy glass, USB ports, Sirius XM radio, push-button start, smart entry and lock, power tailgate, heated steering and seats, power front seats, wireless phone chargers, and more. The different trims come with different color options, but for all four trims, you can select different interior and exterior colors.
