“Since its introduction in 1997, Honda’s CR-V has remained a popular choice for Canadians because of its compact size, innovative features and excellent fuel efficiency”, said Jim Miller, executive vice president of Honda Canada Inc. “The redesigned, re-engineered 2007 CR-V provides increased functionality, capability, refinement and the highest levels of standard safety features in its class”.

The all-new 2007 Honda CR-V adds a dynamic sense of style and refinement, while adding collision compatibility safety enhancements such as Honda’s exclusive Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) Body Structure for enhanced crash compatibility and occupant protection. New for 2007 is the option of two-wheel-drive (available on LX) and Honda’s Satellite-Linked Navigation System with Bilingual Voice Recognition™ and rearview camera (featured on the CR-V EX-L Navi model).

The 2.4-litre i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine and standard 5-speed automatic transmission provide an excellent balance of power (166 horsepower) and fuel economy of 10.2 / 7.3 L/100km (city/highway) with available 2WD and 10.7 / 7.8 L/100km (city/highway) with AWD.
