Overview

HONDA's new-for-2002 CR-V has quantities to live up to. Coming on the back of a host of efficient new alternatives and amid sliding inclusive sales, the 2002 model is the successor to the primordial that became Australia's top-selling compact off-roader. The all-new CR-V continues the tried-and-proven blueprint pioneered by its popular predecessor, with a very easy, slightly more aggressive and angular bodyshell layout that is both bigger and heavier. There's a more powerful motor to compensate, however, as well as what Honda claims are substantial improvements to ride, handling and protection. The new CR-V is crisper, cleaner and even further refined, even if it's slenderize low-key compared to some of its rivals.


It wasn't the first little four-wheel drive wagon, having been beaten by compatriots Toyota RAV4 and Suzuki Vitara, but the authentic CR-V has been Australians' "soft-roader" of choosing for the past three years. Released almost five years ago, the first was facelifted in March 1999.

The Car




MORE evolution than rebellion, Honda's all-new CR-V has a pronounced V-shaped front-end that emphasises its revised grille and headlights. A cheerful level of imitation chrome-plating is habituated to on the grille and large central Honda badge, while the considerable cat-like headlight assembly, which incorporates ramble indicators and park lights, is integrated with the front quater panel, bonnet and profoundly sculpted bumper. The vehicle's complete dimensions have increased, along with the front track (remoteness between the wheels), which gives the CR-V greater course presence. Stronger lines and outspoken edges around the bonnet and along the doors add to the uncultured appearance without effecting CR-V's refined look. A stylish roof-condemn runs the length of the roof gutter and turns down to stumble on the rear tail-light, which is mounted strong on the D-pillar for good visibility.

The Car - Hinie Plan

HONDA claims the CR-V's hut space has increased by eight per cent. The lofty-mounted front and rear seating areas have bountifulness of head and legroom and the vehicle has bounteous window space all around. The centre cheer up is still a foldable tray table, leaving enough apartment for front occupants to walk through to the rear. The make one's way by foot-through facility limits the number of storage areas, which are nonetheless up to snuff in the standard CR-V - the Sport model adds seatback pockets. Fun and base models come with lone driver and front passenger armrests (inevitable only) and the rear seat has a shared enfold-down centre armrest with cupholders that can be worn when the centre seat is free.

The Car - Seats


CR-V was among the first encounter-duty, recreational four-wheel drives on the exchange - what have become known as soft-roaders. In recession is a good way to describe the interior of the new CR-V Sport with its car-like velour instal trim, head restraints, door spick inserts and floor coverings. Both CR-Vs present ease of entry and exit and driver's derriere height adjustment, with the Sport's place cushion wings finished in vinyl. The self-governing transmission Sport model has in-feed, fold-down armrests for the driver and front voyager.

The Car - Dash


HONDA designed an all-new dart for the 2002 CR-V, making it bolder with a taller heart section and adding larger clime control dials, an integrated handbrake that mates with the crash design when released and a matching clutch handle on the passenger side. The centre of the ruin has a large open compartment sized to be music CDs for the stereo directly above. Below this is a covered cubicle but the unlockable glovebox leaves the car with no lockable storage. Above the glovebox is a break that runs the same width at an opening of about 10cm, otherwise the dart is simply a slightly curved, glassy surface void of storage wells. The means panel is sheltered by a hooded binnacle in the crash that keeps the sun off the instruments most of the time. There are four air vents and two front window demister vents, as well as the normal windscreen vents.

The train seats in the CR-V move independently fore and aft to give passengers greater space flexibility

The Car - Controls

IMPROVED window switchgear is positioned step up on the armrest of the driver's door and has auto up/down and anti-touch function. The steering column is encounter-adjustable but no longer holds the unconscious transmission lever, as was the case on the prior to model - this is now dash mounted where specified. The pad for adjusting the extrinsic electric mirrors is mounted pert of the window controls, as is the window charge lock button. Stalks for lights and wipers are located well and left respectively, while steering position-mounted cruise control is accessible on auto Sport models only. The tachometer is styled to copy the speedometer and two smaller guages for excite and temperature complete the set, one at either side of the larger main pair.

Did you know?
The CR-V has a dash-mounted handbrake that when released forms part of the spring design. The handbrake arm is matched on the fare side with a grab handle

The Car - Wheels/tyres


FIVE-SPOKE, 15-inch elegant alloy wheels, including a full-extent alloy spare mounted on the end tailgate, are fitted on the CR-V Sport. The mean model CR-V is fitted with five-spoke styled screw up one's courage to the sticking point rims and both models fit 205/70R15 96T tyres. Honda has two purvey arrangements for tyres, so the brand of tyre tailored as new may vary between vehicles of the same year.

The Car - Gear


THE rear cargo floor of the queer fish CR-V did not escape the notice of Honda's designers. They turned this otherwise uncommon item (a lid to cover the cargo perplex storage space) into a valuable restore of holiday equipment - a foldaway picinic inventory. The foldaway table remains on this working model and is now larger at 759.4mm by 850.9mm and stands 680.7mm considerable. The cargo area has been increased by the use of a more compressed rear suspension that intrudes less around the fabricate wheel arches. The area is fully carpeted and has four foldaway, tie-down anchors. The tailgate has three storage pockets and a scraps bag hook, and the new tailgate window, which also opens remotely from the key fob, raises itself on corresponding gas struts for hands-free access.
