Honda CRV Information & History
The Honda CRV is a Crossover SUV, a type of
automobile, manufactured by Honda. It was derived from the Honda
Civic platform to satisfy a public demand for an SUV from Honda.
The name CRV stands for "Comfortable Runabout Vehicle". It is
available in both All-wheel drive and Front-wheel drive. Honda
produces CRVs in the United Kingdom and Japan for the United States
market. Production will move to one of its Ohio plants in 2006.
The CRV was Honda's first in-house designed sport
utility vehicle. It was originally intended only to be a niche
vehicle. It was introduced in Japan in 1996. There was hesitant
effort to market the vehicle since many felt the car did not have
potential to sell alongside its predecessor the Honda Passport. It
was displayed for the first time on US soil at the 1996 Chicago
Auto Show. Citing strong sales from the comparable Toyota RAV4 upon
its release, it was then brought to the US market in February of
1997. Shortly afterwards CRV sales outpaced those of the RAV4, and
has maintained strong sales and accolades ever since.
The original CRV design spanned from 1997 to
1998. Its introduction had only one model trim which would later be
known as the LX model trim. Powerplant for the original CRV would
be the 2.0 liter B20B engine producing 126 hp (94 kW) and 133
ft·lbf (180 N·m) of torque. Outer dimensions for this engine would
be identical to the 1.6 liter Civic engine, but with a one piece
cylinder liner to increase displacement. Body was a unit body
design with 4-wheel double wishbone suspension. Internal trim was
upholstry for all models. Rear seats of the vehicle were able to
fold down. A picnic table was stowed in the rear floor area. Common
external trait that was visible with this generation was plastic
cladding covering the front bumper, rear bumper, and fender wells.
A major difference between the LX and EX trim was that the EX had
ABS and the LX trim did not.
Although the body style remained the same as
Generation 1, an update for the CRV from 1998 to 2001 was in
response to criticism of the original engine lacking enough power
for a vehicle of about 3200 pounds (1450 kg). The engine was
changed to the 2.0 liter B20Z engine producing 146 hp (108 kW) and
133 ft·lbf (180 N·m) of torque. The fuel economy and price of the
overall vehicle were not affected by this increase. The increase in
power is due to a higher compression ratio (9.6:1 compared to the
B20B's 8.8:1), a new intake manifold, and slightly higher lift on
the intake valves. The interior cloth was improved for longer trips
in the CRV. Some consumers felt that the support provided by the
seats was inadequate for longer trips. Up to 2001, the CRV sold
more than other vehicles in its class. However in 2001 sales of the
Ford Escape and its clone the Mazda Tribute had sold more.
The second generation of the CRV was a full
restyle of the small truck based on the latest Civic chassis. Since
2002, the Honda CRV has come with the next evolution in Honda
engines, the K24 engine. The new engine produces 160 hp (119 kW)
and 162 ft·lbf (220 N·m) of torque. The engine uses i-VTEC to
implement variable engine timings over the complete range of engine
throttle. This improves power and torque at lower engine
revolutions as well at higher revolutions. The engine still retains
the same fuel economy of previous CRV engines. Suspension for the
next generation CRV was changed to front toe control link
MacPherson struts and rear reactive link double wishbone. The
compact rear suspension increased cargo space to 72 cubic feet (2
m³). The CRV features a newly developed chassis with increased
torsional rigidity and bending rigidity. The second-generation CRV
was Car and Driver magazine's Best Small SUV for 2002 and 2003.
For 2005, the CRV received its Minor Model
Change. The 2005 CRV also comes with 16 inch (406 mm) wheels;
earlier models had 15 inch (381 mm) wheels. Another visual change
are the tailights, which no longer have amber for the turn signals.
They are now red and white in color. The grill has also been
changed, it has 3 horizontal bars instead of one. Lastly, the low
beams and high beams use dedicated bulbs, as opposed to a shared
bulb in the prior setup. Following Honda's Safety for Everyone
campaign, every 2005 CRV has ABS, front airbags, side airbags for
front passengers, and side-curtain airbags with rollover sensor for
all outboard occupants. Also, Electronic Brake Distribution, and
Vehicle Stability Assist is equipped on all trims of the car.
Following the tradition of adding a higher trim
level at the Minor Model Change like the 1st generation CRV, Honda
added the SE trim level for the 2005 CRV. The SE CRV has painted
bumpers and molding, as well as a leather interior, heated front
seats, and outside temperature monitor. A new color, Pewter Pearl
can only be found on the SE model. For the 2006 model year, two new
colors are being added, which are Royal Blue Pearl and Alabaster
Silver Metallic. These colors are available on the LX and EX CRVs
only.

Customer Feedback
James K. - Sterling,
VA:
Just got a Porsche 914 a few weeks
ago. It is not yet registered as I need to fix a few things first.
Just bought my first new parts for it from you guys - parking brake
cables. You seem to have the lowest new prices around and Free
shipping to boot. I hope you continue to keep prices low. I
mentioned my purchase in 914club.com forums. Keep up the good
work!

your pricing, I have saved almost a thousand dollars in my last 3
