The Niche The Honda CR-V Has

In over 160 countries spread all across the globe, the Honda CR-V is being sold and marketed. And in most of these markets, the Honda CR-V has already gained much fame and reputation as a vehicle that just takes on the challenge and works out real fine.

The version of the 2007 Honda CR-V is actually all part of the vehicle's third generation. And it looks like there is no stopping the changes and the type of features that this vehicle is going to have. The engineers straight right out of the plants and facilities of the company do make sure that the vehicle holds the most capable Honda auto parts to outfit the vehicle and the performance driven engines that they could create. After all, the Honda CR-V is the brand's compact sport utility vehicle that reaps in more sales for the company.

What would also be new for 2007 is that the Honda CR-V would now be coming in two variations. One would be the popular SUV type of vehicle. The other one, the new one, would be just like the usual however this one would be coming as a two wheel drive. Plus, the 2007 version would be coming with a total redesign. Plus, with a new sheet metal, the Honda CR-V would be coming with an even better drag coefficient. Its exterior has also been changed for you can notice the new and rounder shape. You would also see that the front end has gotten quite sharper and the headlamps have been made to be profiled.

But these are not the only things you would find quite desirable with the new Honda CR-V. If previous models had a rear door that opened at the side, you would now find that such a feature has been deleted. In its place, a liftgate was installed. Mitsuru Horikoshi is the head engine of Honda and on the changes done to the Honda CR-V, he says, "Such a decision wasn't easy. The old rear door was also used to support the spare tire. So, we had to integrate it and we chose to place in the trunk, which allowed us to install the new liftgate."
