Your Guide to the 2015 Honda CRV

The 2015 Honda CRV models have finally arrived in our Australian showrooms. However, many drivers may be unaware of what the new Honda CRV models have to offer. Since the pricing has remained the same as the outgoing model, many drivers have low expectations of the new Honda CRV for sale. Fortunately, these drivers are going to be pleasantly surprised.

Features and Gadgets:

One of the most apparent differences in the 2015 Honda CRV is the cabin upgrades. The new Honda CRV models now feature an upgraded Digital Audio system. This includes a centrally located touchscreen, reversing camera, two USB ports, HDMI port and Bluetooth connectivity for audio streaming. The VTi-L variant also features satellite navigation, but the other models can stream their navigation onto the screen via a phone app. For those familiar with previous Honda CRV models, the reversing camera in the new Honda CRV for sale now features three different viewing modes; normal, top-down and wide for ultimate safety and convenience.

The mid range models also feature push button start with smart keys, parking sensors at the front and rear and dual zone climate control. There is also the innovative Honda LaneWatch system which uses cameras to check the traffic lanes when merging.

The top spec model also features Advanced Driver Assist, which is a system featuring active cruise control, lane assist monitoring and active braking.

The Aesthetics:

The 2015 Honda CRV also has an updated exterior. The new grille perfectly complements the redesigned bumpers. The model also has LED daytime running lights and introduces a new metallic paint finish called Brilliant Sporty Blue. On the inside, the piano black finish is the perfect contrast to the chrome surrounds to create a fantastic ambience in the cabin. The new look cabin feels more luxurious and stylish, with plenty of room for both front and rear passengers to enjoy the ride.

The Performance:

The 2.0 litre petrol engine featured in the two wheel drive model and the 2.4 litre offered in the four wheel drive are perfectly paired with a six speed manual transmission or five speed automatic. The 2.0 litre offers 114kW power and 190Nm torque, while the 2.4 delivers 140kW power and 222Nm torque. This can provide a great performance without compromising on fuel economy as the 2.0 litre can deliver 7.7 litres per 100 kilometres and the 2.4 litre 8.7 litres per 100 kilometres.

Diesel Models:

The diesel 2015 Honda CRV models are also scheduled for an update. However, it is anticipated that this will not occur until the latter half of 2015. This is due to the diesel variants being sourced from the UK rather than the Thailand Honda facility. The current diesel Honda CRV models are available as a DTi-S four wheel drive in both manual and automatic, and a DTi-L four wheel drive automatic.
