HONDA CRV

Technically, the third-generation model of the popular Honda SUV is the first version can be purchased legally through HMSB.



This time, I 'borrow' CR-V to travel far - from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Bharu, Kelantan. Before submitting the key, Anna Ng from Malaysia told Honda that I was the last person to test the car before it is sent to a number of routine repairs and service. As usual I have been driving the school van is, reverse the damage detection is not a major problem.
Stone shows CR-V has been driven more than 60.000 kilometers (km). Bergegar little engine, I suspect may have been crossing the engine vibrate or have a rubber bushing must be replaced. For a vehicle that 'elected' into a car driving test, it was 'well used' said the white man.
Actually used for testing, Honda has never been stingy in providing various activities for the media, including the CR-V is beaten into a race car Slalom. So lifetime wear and tear the car should be shorter if you follow logic batuannya hatta.
If rock is translated into daily travel, it can be aged between two years, half to three years. If the stones are dinisbahkan with the use of hardy, it may be three or four years old.
I see it as something positive because if outside the country, author of popular automotive models are usually given through specific testing program for a year. It is good to see the development of the car used during the year.
In fact, it is also very practical in the real world because usually a new car should not cause any problems. Continuous testing and periodic reports can tell readers how the development of the car. For example the cost of services, problems that may arise and performance when the car has reached the level of premature.
Well, we turn to the CR-V. True, it is not a new car. Model was launched more than a year ago and is third-generation CR-V in the Honda family. Model first introduced in 1996, built using the same platform with the sixth-generation Civic models.

MODEL maintain this reputation SUV Honda machinery that has a neat design.


At that time, it was only available in version Recond. While both generations was launched in 2002. It is an era of transition between Oriental Holdings, Honda franchise holder in Malaysia to Honda Malaysia Sdn. Ltd. (HMSB). Technically, it became the first version that can be purchased legally through HMSB.
Third-generation CR-V SUV is to uphold his reputation as the most updated aspects of design in class. Storey front bumper behind the pillar and lean enough to produce an SUV sporty. It continues to distinguish the two previous models. Body contour lines and aerodynamic roof built. I think Honda DNA was successfully translated through design.
If by competition in a category, CR-V Xtrail compete with Nissan, Suzuki Grand Vitara, Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage. First there is Mitsubishi Outlander.
While Toyota Fortuner, Chevrolet Captiva, SsangYong Rexton, SsangYong Actyon, Mitsubishi Pajero Sport and the Ford Escape is in a different league though price matching.
Like the two previous generations, CR-V received as a comfortable SUV driven. However, most automotive writers agree that they lack power. 2.0 engine that has claimed it as less of a 150ps. When traffic stop n go, CR-V is very outstanding. But when you want to climb the hill and cut the vehicle in front of the engine have to work hard.
I think the distance between the gear ratio positions three and four is too much. I am not an engineer, but typically such talaan is to ensure the economical use of fuel. Not denied, travel 500 kilometers from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Bharu with input RM75 petrol quite satisfactory.

CR-V offers a comfortable driving because the point of view that high.


What good if it is paired with the 2.4 engine Accord, or at least K20 DOHC engine with five-speed transmission. Perhaps the power to climb and accelerate better. At least for users like me who had to return to the village nearly 50 fruit timber trucks and buses on the way to intercepted.
In addition, everything good only for this SUV. But for Honda engineers, they never compromise on handling. Handling was not concerned how fast you can bypass the branch, it also bersangkut-link with comfort.
Not many realize or appreciate the fact that Honda vehicles since the first paired with the MultiLink system. Including for their largest van, LaGreat.
When fully independent rear suspension link from the left and right, the violation of holes and uneven road to slow the effects of direct passengers inside. Complex multi-link system also makes CR-V range of a car driven wine. In fact it is better because the high angle views.
NVH levels that are typical of machinery like the other competitors. There is no advantage that can be expected in the SUV class. Engine vibration and wind Desiran menjengah begin in as early as 110 km per hour.
Unlike the design of a car, distance relief wheel, tire size and vehicle geometry makes it difficult to build SUVs that really quiet. If you want really quiet, just like a BMW X5 or Porsche Cayenne.
Angle and driving equipment in the cabin switch controller is typical Honda. It is easily accessible and simple. Place goods store also. Space drink bottles, a former store small items such as Smart Tag and other key lies in the middle of the door pocket.

VEHICLE is equipped enough luggage space area.


Space bagasinya also broad enough for two bags clothing size 30 inches, two golf bags and a wheelchair.
I love to see how HMSB their market position. Not denied, the selling price of their cars competitive. Jazz? I think the premium too. That may be a pattern of different markets. However, if earlier, you had to save a desire to have other Civic and Accord cars, Honda Malaysia to meet one for each network, from a city car, Jazz, Sedan C and D, midi MPV, SUV and MPV models full Odyssey.
The reality, they do not want to overlook any segment. Did you know that Malaysia is the first country outside Japan to get market model Civic Type R? Story is almost the same as BMW Malaysia offering full network model. From 1 Series models until X5 and Z4, far left their competitors Auto Bavaria and Sapura Auto.
