The 2017 Honda CR-V Technology
Standard Technology that Bolsters Comfort
U.S. News says, “the 2017 Honda CR-V is fun to drive and has one of the best interiors in the compact SUV class.” That’s thanks in part to the long list of tech features that make everyday life a little easier and makes time behind the wheel comfortable and even a bit luxurious. Even the standard LX model has a robust collection of features including cruise control, rear-seat heater ducts, plus:
Automatic Climate Control: Everyone inside the CR-V will be comfortable, staying cool when the weather outside is hot or warm and toasty in the winter with automatic climate control.
Speed-Sensitive Volume Control: When the CR-V slows down, as in a merging situation or when maneuvering through a parking garage, the audio will automatically soften to a lower volume, eliminating distractions for the driver when concentration behind the wheel needs to be high.
Rear Window Defroster: No matter what the weather is like outside, drivers should be able to see clearly out of the back window. The rear window defroster in the CR-V makes a fogged-up rear window a thing of the past.
Standard Entertainment
The standard LX model has even more technology geared toward keeping drivers connected while on the road and great entertainment features—whether you’re on a trip across the state or want to rock out while you’re dashing around the corner.
- Bluetooth HandsFreeLink and Streaming Audio – Access your devices seamlessly through the CR-V via Bluetooth technology, without having to take your hands off the wheel.
- Pandora Compatibility – Listen to your favorite artists while discovering new ones with Pandora’s endless music selection.
- 5-Inch Color LCD Screen – Intuitively designed, the color LCD screen allows drivers and front passengers to easily navigate through controls from audio choices to temperature settings.
Driver-Assist Technology
The CR-V has a commitment to safety, and its use of state-of-the-art technology demonstrates that commitment. Starting with the EX model, the Honda Sensing suite of driver-assist technology becomes available and helps drivers drive better and safer on the road.
Multi-Angle Rearview Camera with Guidelines: With three different angles to choose from, including normal, wide, and top-down, this camera system allows drivers to check the surroundings of the CR-V and back out of tight spaces much more easily.
Collision Mitigation Braking System: This system detects when an oncoming vehicle or other object is dangerously approaching the CR-V and can engage the brakes in order to mitigate any impact.
Road Departure Mitigation System: Using sensors, this system can detect when the CR-V rolls over lane lines or road markings and can use the brakes and steering to keep the CR-V from going off the road.
Lane Keeping Assist System: If the CR-V rolls over lane lines or is swaying on the road without a signal change, this system can nudge the steering to bring the CR-V back to the center of the lane.
Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow: Drivers select a desired speed and a distance interval with the car ahead of them, and this system balances between them, keeping the CR-V naturally within the flow of traffic without any extra input from the driver.
Blind Spot Monitoring System with Cross Traffic Monitor: If a signal is indicated and there is activity in the driver’s blind spot, this system can alert the driver that it’s not safe to change lanes.
