2005 Honda CR-V
A new top-line trim, more safety equipment and revised styling are on
the list of upgrades for Honda's compact sport utility vehicle. The new
2005 Honda CR-V benefits from all this and more, resulting in a go-anywhere,
do-anything attitude that is sure to increase its appeal.
With the addition of the new decked-out SE model, the CR-V family can
now claim to offer the full-spectrum of trims, from bare bones to decadent.
Keep Honda's legendary durability and engineering quality and add more
safety items and you've got the updated 2005 Honda CR-V.
Available Models
The 2005 Honda CR-V is offered in three models: LX, EX and the new SE.
Interior Features
The interior of the new Honda CR-V gets a few upgrades here and there.
On the EX trim level, steering mounted audio controls and an outside temperature
gauge are added, and all models now feature new retractable grab rails
and larger seatback pockets.
SE models emerge as the most refined of the three trims. They have an
interior styling that dominated in leather. Beginning with full leather
seating, the SE also adds heated seats and door mirrors and a leather
steering wheel and shift knob.
Exterior Features
On the exterior, the SE's unique appearance includes body-colored bumpers,
side moldings, door handles and hard spare tire cover. Along with the
other available exterior colors, Pewter Pearl is exclusively offered on
the SE trim.
16-inch wheels have been added for all trim levels, along with a new
EX alloy and LX steel wheel designs. In addition, three new exterior colors
join the Honda CR-V palate for 2005: Silver Moss, Redondo Red Pearl and
Sahara Sand.
Performance
Front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive are both offered on 2005 CR-V trims,
though the new SE model can only be had with AWD. A new cam-driven real-time
AWD mechanism replaces the previous pump-type system, improving acceleration
and hill climbing performance from the previous model.
The 2005 Honda CR-V continues to use last year's 2.4-liter dual-overhead
cam inline 4-cylinder model. Power ratings for this year are 160 horsepower
at 6000 rpm and 162 lb-ft of torque at 3600 rpm. There are two transmissions
offered: 5-speed manual and 5-speed automatic.
Safety and Security
An increase in the number of standard safety features is another of the
big improvements to the lineup this year. All CR-Vs will now come equipped
with front side airbags, side curtain airbags and Honda's Vehicle Stability
Assist (VSA) with Traction Control.
Antilock 4-wheel disc brakes and dual front airbags are also standard.
