The new cr-v

Efficient, functional and confident

The new fourth generation CR-V makes its European debut at the Paris Motor Show 2012. Building on its success of its predecessors, the new CR-V has improved quality, practicality and refinement. For the first time in Europe, the compact SUV will be offered with a choice of both two- and four-wheel drive, while improvements to both the petrol and diesel engines have resulted in a significant reduction in CO₂ emissions. Comprehensively redesigned for the European market, the new CR-V will be built at Honda’s production facility in Swindon, UK from early September, 2012.

How strong is a Honda ?

Every manufacturer makes big boasts about how tough and safe their cars are. Occasionally, things conspire to put their claims to the test. In this case, the Honda CR-V definitely lives up to the boast. A bizarre accident caused a 18-wheel trailer weighing well over 13 tons to roll on top of a CR-V. And yet the driver came out totally untouched. Links to the news article plus TOV discussions are available at
