The 2007 Honda CR-V has had a steep road to travel since it came out in late summer 2006. It is not quite an SUV, and it isn’t a status car like the Lexus or Mercedes. Nevertheless, this little crossover doesn't care. Like a tuba player in a high school marching band, the 2007 Honda CR-V can trudge silently along with the rest of the Honda line, keeping the beat alive without missing a step. This doesn’t mean that the CR-V stays in the background. In fact, this vehicle is sold in 160 countries on five continents.
Just whom the CR-V was manufactured for is up for debate. While soccer moms will enjoy the roomy 5-person cabin and a postal-service kind of dependability
that allows travel through rain, sleet and snow (with the help of the real time 4WD), empty nesters and couples without children are sure to find the moon-roof, heated leather-trimmed seats and XM radio more in tune with their casual existence. For all types, the 2007 Honda CR-V’s various safety features, such as a deformable hood to protect pedestrians, a body structure that resists cabin deformation in the event of a crash, and the six airbags stationed along the front, sides and roof of the vehicle, give peace of mind to drivers, even on high traffic days. For those who spend their days running errands, the CR-V has variable valve timing, which allows for a wide spectrum of power, and it is shaped to enhance gas mileage and fuel efficiency, so even city drivers can flit from store to store at a respectable rate of 23 mpg. The CR-V is also environmentally friendly, having earned an Ultra-Low-Emission Vehicle (ULEV) rating.
The base price of the 2007 Honda CR-V is $20,600, but consumers can expect to pay upwards to $28,000 for one that is fully loaded. To find your nearest Honda dealer, or get more information, click here.
