Honda’s CR-V model has been among the top-selling cars for years now because of its consistently good performance. Just when you thought the CR-V couldn’t get any better, the automaker accepted the challenge and came up with it’s 2020 Honda CR-V. The new model has quite a few upgrades that impressed many Honda lovers. Let’s look at the top features that can compel you to buy the 2020 Honda CR-V.
- Superior turbocharged engine
This is one of the biggest upgrades in the new CR-V, and the key reason you must consider buying it. The automaker dropped the old 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine that was standard on the base LX trim level previously. This is replaced with a turbocharged 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque. This new engine is now the new standard in all trim variants LX, EX, EX-L, and Touring, undoubtedly making it a great improvement from the previous model.
- Generous cargo space
The huge amount of cargo space—one of the largest in its segment—is another significant reason for buying the new CR-V. You can virtually fit anything you want in the spacious and flexible cargo space of the CR-V. The easy fold-down 60/40 split-rear seatback opens up more space with just a pull of a lever in the rear cargo area and has a lot of versatile storage spaces too. The center console consists of two beverage holders and an adjustable parcel shelf that can be adjusted to three different positions to make room for anything from a tablet to a bag. The entire cargo space is sophisticatedly designed to include more than essentials and comes in especially handy when you have bulky items to carry.
- Spacious cabin
The spaciousness of CR-V doesn’t just end with cargo space, it is also very well designed to comfortably accommodate your family in the rear seat. However, the driver and front passenger have slightly less legroom than other vehicles but is comfortable enough for a long drive.
- High-tech driver assistance technology
All trim variants of the 2020 Honda CR-V model come with the advanced Honda Sensing®, which is the automaker’s intelligent suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies. It is designed to alert drivers of things they might miss while driving. It includes forward-collision warning, lane-keeping assist system, adaptive cruise control that lowers the speed of CR-V if the vehicle ahead slows down, and a host of other practical features.
- Comfortable ride
The new CR-V offers a smooth and comfortable ride on any road surface. Irrespective of where you drive, you will cruise smoothly and feel negligible bumps throughout the ride. It’s equipped with high-quality tires that can absorb impacts from the ground.
