The 2017 Honda CR-V is Benefiting from an Extensive Redesign

We don’t have to wait much longer for the 2017 Honda CR-V redesign, which is expected to arrive sporting a complete redesign sometime during this winter. From a bold new powertrain to expanded safety technologies and upgraded body, the design team really has gone the extra mile to ensure that the 2017 CR-V continues to capture the attention of drivers around Kennewick and all across the country.

2017 CR-V Body

The new CR-V is going to stand out from the old with ease. Taking a more aggressive approach to design, the vehicle will offer a sharper front end with available Honda LED headlights, plus a Honda-first Active Shutter Grille to lower aerodynamic drag. Updated aluminum alloy wheels will add a distinctive flair while narrower A-pillars improve visibility.

The revised body will also have practical benefits thanks to a longer wheelbase. In fact, Honda is promising improved rear legroom and a larger, more versatile cargo area.

2017 CR-V Power

The body of the 2017 Honda CR-V isn’t the only thing changing — the line will also benefit from a new engine. The new model will receive the CR-V line’s first-ever turbocharged engine: a 1.5L direct-injected four-cylinder that will be able to deliver up to 190 hp alongside stunning mpg ratings.

The next CR-V will also feature a 2.4L DOHC direct-injected i-VTEC; but, no matter your choice, your engine will be hooked up to a first-rate Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).

2017 CR-V Technology

Honda is known for stocking vehicles with plenty of standard and available features, so we expected some enhancements for the next-generation CR-V.

We haven’t been disappointed, with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ being made available and all the driver-assistance technologies of the Honda Sensing package included in EX trim levels and above, including

• Collision Mitigation Braking (CMBS)
• Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
• Road Departure Mitigation (RDM)
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
• Lane Keeping Assist (LKAS)
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow

The 2017 Honda CR-V Redesign Will Improve a Beloved Crossover

If the CR-V is popular now, it’s going to be even more popular when the redesigned 2017 model arrives. If you’d like to find out more, come to Walla Walla Valley Honda — you’ll find us right next to the center of College Place, WA, just a quick drive east from Kennewick.
