INNER SPACE

Once inside, you’ll soon experience CR-V's unique space and comfort. All you'll want to do is quietly slip away and enjoy the drive.

You can easily scroll through the Driver Information Interface using the steering wheel mounted thumb pad, or via voice activation, to choose from a variety of features including: SMS and email display, audio information, phone contacts and even smart vehicle maintenance information.

Sweeping across the width of the cabin is a beautifully stitched soft-touch panel.

DEFINING LINES

The fifth-generation Honda CR-V has a distinctive shape; a sleek simplicity that is designed to be both stylish and functional. This design includes controlling the airflow under the body, which improves fuel efficiency, minimises drag and lowers noise levels­. Function aside, the overall effect means the Honda CR-V Hybrid exudes presence wherever it goes.

Hands-free tailgate*

The rear power tailgate can be programmed to stop at the height you wish. Ideal if you have to open it in a hurry in a carpark or garage with a low ceiling height. You can also open it when your hands are full, by simply waving your foot under the rear bumper – nice and easy.

More connections

The pre-installed internet-based AHA™ audio player also lets you connect to your favourite music stations, podcasts and news services.

DIRECT CONNECTION

It has an Atkinson-type, 2.0-litre petrol engine and two electric motors – one electric propulsion motor and one electric generator motor enabling it to perform in petrol, electric or hybrid modes. The CR-V, rather than using a conventional transmission, is built with a single fixed-gear ratio giving the driver a seamless flow of power and confidence – it is the hybrid you can feel.

IT THINKS FOR ITSELF

i-MMD technology ensures the car always uses its energy in the most efficient way. This means CR-V Hybrid seamlessly alternates between its three power modes: Electric Drive, Hybrid Drive or Engine Drive. When setting off in Electric Drive the car emits an acoustic alert - it is that quiet - and under certain driving conditions, if you wish, you can manually extend the Electric Drive period by pressing the fascia-mounted EV Mode button. If a greater dynamic feel is desired, the Sport Mode provides a more engaged driving experience.

_{The 2.0 litre Atkinson Cycle petrol engine works with two electric motors – one propulsion and one generator motor – controlled by its intelligent Multi-Mode Drive (i-MMD) system.}

EFFORTLESS DRIVING

It's an innovative system that allows the petrol engine to operate within its optimal power range as often as possible. Combined with ECON mode, the result is an extremely fuel-efficient vehicle.

_{At certain times, the CR-V will use two motors and a petrol engine to achieve best performance – a triple boost – while maintaining the most fuel-efficient drive.}

SAFETY STANDARD

Collision Mitigation Braking System

If there is a possibility of a collision with a vehicle or a pedestrian this feature will alert you to the danger as well as reducing your speed to help minimise the severity of any impact.

Lane Departure Warning

If the car moves out of its lane without indicating, alerts will flash and sound to help bring the drift to your attention.
