Honda CR-V Interior

- Designed around a theme of quality and toughness, Honda CR-V's interior employs chunky, solid-molded metal components to achieve a sophisticated blend of quality and convenience. 
- The instrument panel features two large gauges with self-illuminating, high-contrast displays and large lettering for outstanding visibility. A large, centrally located LCD panel digitally displays engine coolant temperature and fuel remaining, along with a variety of other information. 
- The front seats offer larger seat cushions and seatbacks for superior hold, while dual front 8-way power seats [7] provide electronic adjustment for seat height (front and rear portions), front-to-rear slide, and reclining. The driver's seat also comes with a Schukra wide-range power lumbar support. 
- A telescopic tilting steering wheel and ratchet-style seat height adjustor [8] ensure the optimum driving position for a wide range of physiques.

Packaging and Utility

- Cabin length has been increased by 70mm while maintaining the same wheelbase as the previous model, despite the large-diameter tires. Tandem distance (the distance between front and rear passenger hip points) is also the same as for the previous model, ensuring plenty of room for all.
- The 6:4-split rear seats independently slide, recline, and fold double. The center seatbacks fold forward independently to facilitate a wide variety of seat arrangements.
- The side sills on both the front and rear doors have been lowered by 32mm to minimize the height difference with the cabin floor for smoother vehicle entry and exit. The opening angle of the rear door has also been increased to 80 degrees from 67 degrees on the previous model and the upper portion of the opening expanded 35mm to the rear, to facilitate more natural entry and exit.
- The compact rear suspension permits a flat cargo space with minimum overhang for greater ease of use. The ample cargo space will hold 524 - 623 liters [9] with five vehicle occupants, or 955 liters [9] with two vehicle occupants. 
- A double-deck cargo shelf separates the cargo space into upper and lower sections. The plastic shelf, set 330mm above the luggage compartment floor, not only allows luggage to be stored top and bottom, but also ensures privacy for the lower space.
- The spare tire is stowed under the floor and the tailgate opens vertically. The hinges have been designed and positioned to make the opening wider, while at the same time the tailgate door has been made significantly easier to open and close.

Honda CR-V Advanced Features

- The IHCC (Intelligent Highway Cruise Control) [10] vehicle speed and distance control system helps reduce the burden on the driver during freeway driving. It assesses driving conditions using data from a millimeter-wave radar unit built into the front grille of the vehicle that measures the distance to the vehicle ahead, along with data from vehicle speed and yaw rate sensors. In addition to maintaining the vehicle at a set speed, this cruise control system automatically regulates vehicle speed and distance depending on whether or not there is a vehicle in the same lane ahead.
- The Honda HDD InterNavi System [11] with rear camera utilizes the considerable information storage of a high-capacity, 30GB hard drive to deliver a wide range of information. The 7-inch touch-panel display provides an easy-to-see, easy-to-operate interface, while Bluetooth [12] compatibility enables wireless connection with cellular phones for even more powerful communications capabilities.
- The Honda Smart Card Key System [13] allows the card key holder to lock and unlock the doors and tailgate and operate the ignition with a single touch. A security alarm and immobilizer is standard equipment on all models.
