- The door mirror on the passenger side features a built-in prism under-mirror, which utilizes the prism's light-refracting capability to secure twice as much field of vision as a convex mirror of comparable size. Also, making the mirror more compact and incorporating it into the door mirror eliminates the need for the fender-mounted side under-mirror employed on the previous model, for a sleeker exterior image.

Honda CR-V Safety Performance

- AFS (Active Front lighting System)14 headlights swivel in accordance with steering wheel operation during turning, pointing the headlight units in the direction of the turn to illuminate the path of vehicle travel. 
- The Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system - which includes an Antilock Brake System (ABS), Traction Control System (TCS), and sideslip control - works in combination with a DBW electronic throttle control that optimizes engine torque to achieve precision handling. VSA is standard equipment on all models. 
- The Collision Mitigation Brake System (CMBS) [14] uses millimeter-wave radar, assessing collision risk based on inter-vehicle distance and relative vehicle speeds. As assessed collision risk increases, the system uses audio and visual warnings and light braking to alert the driver and prompt preventative action, activating the brakes more firmly to support the driver's own brake operation and mitigate injuries and vehicle damage in the event of a collision. 
- A side curtain airbag system that helps protect the head in the event of a side collision is available as a set along with the front-seat i-side airbag system [15]. All models are equipped with Front-seat SRS airbag system.
- Honda's Advanced Compatibility Engineering body enhances passenger protection while mitigating impact on the other vehicle. 
- The vehicle is also designed to mitigate pedestrian injury in the event of a collision. 
- The head shock protection interior is designed to protect vehicle occupants from impacts to the head in the event of a collision. 
- All models are equipped with front active headrests designed to reduce the impact of a rear collision on an occupant's neck area. 
- All models are equipped with ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) with EBD (Electronic Brake Distribution) and brake assist. 
- All models are equipped with ISO FIX-compatible child seat anchoring bars and tether anchors.

Environmental Performance

- All models are certified by the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport as having emissions levels 75% lower than what is required by 2005 standards.
- Four-wheel-drive models feature fuel economy that is 10% better than the level required by Japanese government fuel economy standards for 2010 [16].
- Nearly all interior and exterior plastic components are made of olefin resin for superior recyclability. This and other measures result in an overall vehicle recyclability that exceeds 90% [17]. Sound insulation and other components containing organic materials have also been made smaller and lighter to reduce shredder dust volume.
- Interior VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) levels have been reduced in all models to within the guidelines set out by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. 

[16] Depending on the factory options chosen, fuel economy for 2WD (front-wheel-drive) models may also be 10% better than the level required by Japanese government fuel economy standards for 2010.
