The 2017 Honda CR-V was certainly of the biggest reveals of the year, and now, the big H has released 100 photos detailing its popular SUV for your viewing pleasure.
First making its debut in the United States, the fifth-generation CR-V is more of everything: bold new looks, larger dimensions, a more premium, spacious and practical interior, as well as an expanded engine line-up.
The first thing that catches your attention are the looks, with Honda opting to proceed with an evolutionary approach that incorporates plenty of interesting new cues. For starters, the restyled front-end features a Honda-first Active Shutter Grille System, as well as new LED headlamps with signature DRLs.
Down the sides, the new CR-V boasts more athletic wheel arches, accompanied by new alloy wheel designs that range from 17 to 18 inches in size. You’ll also notice the upswept D-pillars have been retained here, albeit with a less pronounced kink.
As a result, the window near the D-pillar features a different shape compared to before. Furthermore, the vertical taillights are now shorter as well, and they are now LED-type two-piece units, encroaching into the liftgate along the chrome trim piece.
The new looks are likely to mask the SUV’s larger dimensions, where the CR-V now measures 4,587 mm long (+30 mm) and 1,854 mm wide (+35 mm). Keep in mind that the information here refers to the US-spec CR-V, and could differ depending on the market it is sold in.
Moving on, front-wheel drive variants now measure 1,679 mm tall, whereas CR-Vs with all-whell drive are 1,689 mm in height, both a gain of 36 mm. The increased dimensions also allow for a 40 mm gain to the CR-V’s wheelbase, which now measures 2,659 mm.
The longer wheelbase allows for a more spacious cabin, and Honda has the numbers to prove just that. For starters, the US EPA-certified passenger volume space now stands at 2,999 litres, up by 51 litres. Headroom and legroom is also improved here by up to 15 mm for the former, and 53 mm for the latter. As for boot space, that is up as well, recording (up to the roof) 2,146 litres with the seats down (+139 litres).
As for the other aspects of the cabin, the dashboard is brand-new, and does away with the second display screen above the head unit. The steering wheel and instrument cluster appear to be carried over from the Civic FC, while the centre stack and console hosts a new gear lever, Eco driving mode button and electronic parking brake (replaces the foot-operated one).
Plenty of kit to fiddle with as well on the high-spec variant, including dual-zone automatic climate control, 12-way power driver’s seat, seven-inch touchscreen infotainment display (with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), 330-watt premium audio system, keyless operation, powered liftgate and USB charging ports.
In terms of safety and driver assistance features, the CR-V comes with the Honda Sensing suite – Collision Mitigation Braking System, Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Road Departure Mitigation, Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).
This adds upon standard items such as Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with traction control, ABS with EBD and brake assist, multi-angle rearview camera and six airbags. Honda also employed plenty of high-strength steel in the SUV’s construction to increase body structure rigidity as well.
Under the hood, the CR-V is offered with a 2.4 litre naturally-aspirated direct injection four-cylinder DOHC i-VTEC petrol engine with 184 hp at 6,400 rpm and 244 Nm of torque at 3,900 rpm.
Also available is a 1.5 litre turbocharged direct injection four-cylinder DOHC VTC petrol that outputs 190 hp at 5,600 rpm and 243 Nm of torque from 2,000 to 5,000 rpm. Both engines are paired with a CVT, and can be had as a front- or all-wheel drive.
The NA mill is capable of providing an EPA-certified (city/highway combined) fuel economy of 10.1 l/100 km (FWD) and 10.5 l/100 km (AWD). Meanwhile, the turbo mill will consume just 9.4 l/100 km (FWD) and 9.7 l/100 km (AWD).
All of this rests on an upgraded chassis, which Honda says will provide better handling, refinement, additional ground clearance and overall versatility. The suspension setup here is made up of MacPherson struts at the front, while a multi-link system is found in the rear, coupled with all-round fluid-filled bushings.
Well, those are the features and equipment that will be available for the US-market 2017 Honda CR-V. The only question now is, when will it be our turn, and what will we get?

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
There seems to be an intention to quickly catch the eye for current Honda designs but they all lack cohesion and finesse..the back upper end looks like it’s from another car while the bottom end looks like another car….
The civic also suffers from this lack of cohesion..they may appear eye-catching at first but sad to say car designs are not like phone/bag/clothing designs….they need to look good and fresh even 5-6 years down the road and frankly..the new honda designs are not gonna age well..the civic will look super garish few years from now..this CRV already looks garish before even launch…
Mazda has the most sorted designs among the japanese at this point…Nissan and toyota seem confused too…
wow, what a superb design. I wonder why our Proton designers and engineers cannot design a beautiful car like this and sell? Why do they need to rebadge a Suzuki to get Ertiga?
Proton really has failure designers. From Juara to Savvy to other failures like Preve and so on. Time for Proton to get some designers and engineers from Honda to come here and teach the lazy engineers at Proton how to design a beautiful looking car.
This weeked I saw the Ertiga, I was surprised that it is so tiny, tonggek and cheap looking. Please lah Proton, wake up and give us designs like how Honda is giving us
Lol, hate Proton that much haaa.. hahaha
Never complaint P2 ?
Top newest rebadge -1) Toyota Yaris rebadge Mazda 2 , got problem ?
2)Aston Martin Cygnet rebadge from Toyota IQ
Honda once rebadge a Land Rover
Nissan once rebadge Honda accord
Proton Satria GTi , rebadge from Mitsubishi Colt praised & loved by Richard Hammond ;D
reply me Kunta , come2
believe me, we only call the design is superb when it has a honda badge. If the same design has proton badge on it, we will say proton really has failure designers…
Come here to read about CR-V, some stup*d people talk about Proton.
Yeah, I think this new CR-V does looks flashy, but I don’t think it will age well.
CVT??! Ohwaii.. ill choose the new mazda cx-5 instead.
Beautiful SUV inside and out compared to all the previous generations hideous designs and crappy performance.
The CR-V has transformed from an ugly outdated Crappy Rubbish Vehicle into something new and beautiful.
The designers finally woke up from their deep sleep in Honda Japan HQ.
Finally, I can trade in my old outdated and boring looking CR-V to this new beautiful piece of metal:)
Betul la bro, when this new CRV finally comes to Malaysia, my outdated 2015 CR-V seriously mahu trade in terus. LOL
When I came across these pics in this blog today, bye2 to my old Hideous CR-V of the past like u guys stated. Hahaha:)
1.5 turbo and 2.4 liter same torque and similar petrol consumption. I guess Honda Malaysia will probably not bring in the 2.4 to save on road tax. Meaning 2.0 liter and 1.5 turbo only.. diesel would be best but our flip flop on b10 makes things difficult
I hope this CRV interior is black in colour:
1. The black-white colour scheme and cheapskate interior are hideous
2. CRV is not a luxury vehicle, it is a utility vehicle.
The rear end is more painful to look at than the current one…
1.6 dtec produces around 300nn of torque…..
but wether it is compatible with our b7 euro 5 diesel remains to be seen….
It is a better looking car than its predecessor. Hope the materials use are of better quality/softer materials especially in the doors panels to qualify as “Premium” as some users claim.
It is a large SUV by any standard but i personally find the wheels(17/18-inch) a bit small by today standard for a large SUV compare with LR/Q5/X5.
Lets hope the quality, tech, gizmos did not disappear from thin air as this model photos here is for US market.
i want one please.
Wow… this is a good looking SUV, everything is good except for that fuel consumption figure… a hybrid CRV would be good and cheaper if pasang Malaysia.
Very nice looking car inside and outside. Inside looks like a premium car, even better looking than the Civic. But based on youtube review I saw yesterday, the rear door has hard plastics, through the armrest portion is well padded. I do hope the edge of the rear seats (above the rear tyre wheel well) are softly padded. On the Civic, Honda had put hard plastic, which is absolutely unacceptable. But the best improvement (over the Civic, Jazz and probably the HRV as well) is the return of the volume knob. Touchscreen controls is OK if car is stationary. But when moving, takes a bit more effort.
Most of the dashboard area and door panel of civic is soft-touch material.. go press it urself ya…
I thought there is a 7-seater version?
At least some improvements on the rear.
Extend it a fair bit and make it 7-seater, winrar!
What’s with Volvos’s rear lamp?
Ive heard that this new Honda CRV want to compete to new Xtrail 5+2 seater. But looks like still have only 5 seater. Huh!
Toyota launched Toyota Innova facelift at the price of 117K-126K (2.0 Automatic).
Why Honda still don’t want to reveal the price for Honda BRV? Nor it reveal the front deskboard details and keep it ‘off the showroom’?
Proton also launched the Ertigo.
We hope Honda can reveal the information soon and at a reasonable price (maybe around RM80K-95K on the road price) considering so many MPV models launched by other manufacturer.
