Honda unveiled the 2017 CR-V earlier this month, which has been completely redesigned and re-engineered as it enters its fifth generation. Recently, Honda USA released two videos that highlight just some of the features that are available on the popular nameplate.
In one of the videos, we are introduced to some of the design cues that are on the SUV, starting with those sleek, full-LED headlamps at the front, part of a bold new iteration of Honda’s Solid Wing Face. We also get to see the model’s restyled rear taillights and hands-free powered liftgate in operation.
Elsewhere, there’s the 1.5 litre turbocharged engine under the hood – a first for the CR-V. The direct-injected DOHC unit outputs 190 hp at 5,600 rpm and 243 Nm of torque between 2,000 to 5,000 rpm, making it more powerful compared to the unit found in the Civic FC.
As for the interior, the CR-V is now fitted with improved materials to provide a more premium feel that compliments the revamped cabin. We also get to see glimpses of the car’s touchscreen infotainment system (now featuring a volume knob), as well as the instrument cluster.
The latter features a full-colour LCD screen for the rev counter, speedometer and multi-info display, similar to the Civic FC. The host in the video also emphasises the increased legroom, courtesy of the CR-V now longer wheelbase – 2,660 mm vs 2,620 mm.
He also highlights one of the practical features found inside the cabin – dual USB charging ports – with an output of 2.5 A each, perfect for charging your tablets or smartphones.

Nice !!! Hot cake
Oh my…the taillights…cant they make them any more uglier…is this for china market…looks like it…
What? USB charger in Proton was on 2014 in the Iriz! Honda CRV just 2017? WTF!
In certain angles in the video. It looks a lot more macho than the Auntie-mobile it it, but continues to follow the CRV tradition of less than pleasing arse. Probably I welcome the center-digital speedo the most as it looks bigger and higher res than the one in the Civic, wish it can display the nav like Audi’s virtual cockpit.
Hopefully, they ractify the NVH and that’s about all I care for the CRV. It’s good as it is and for what it’s for and this just improves it. All hail Turbo lag.
too bad. Still using the 5 seaters.
you want seven seaters buy Honda Pilot lo
Mazda Cx-5 is a 5 seater
Toyota Rush got 7 seaters.
That’s because in North America, they have the Honda Pilot, which is a class up from the CRV, and that one is a 7 seater. Just like Mazda has the CX-9, which looks great and is coming to Malaysia. HM doesn’t seem too interested in selling the Pilot here cos maybe they think the Odyssey will be sufficient to carry more than 5.
many people are not aware that car manufacturers do declare their cars as 2017 when it is assemble in end 2016. it is a totally normal practise especially in europe and UK where cars assembled in ocober, november and december will be declared as next year’s model/production.
a little bit different in malaysia. thats why proton has so many unsold old stocks when it can only be a 3 weeks difference between december and january.
I think the only thing that is worsen compare to current CR-V is the Rim design. Current 18-Inch turbine style looks way better.
Even ugly betty looks prettier…
like the clean dashboard lines.
I rather buy the current one :/
dual usb charger ports? new saga have it all too. lol
Power bank also have 2 USB charger ports, so? Lol
but it’s 2.5A each, not combined. That can probably fast charge 2 Android phones, but leave the Note 7 behind.
i hope the handling improved too
The leather seats will make this CRV looks premium. IMO, a 2.0 turbo will make this CRV more appealing & a cheaper alternative to the X5/Q5/GLC.
