SUV Honda CRV - test drive

FIRST VSEDOROZHNIK "HONDY" Not cheap, but good in October 1995 launched the first in a series of "hondovsky" vsedorozhnik-model CR-V. " Initially, it was sold only in Japan. Deliveries version left office in America, and Europe, including Russia, began in spring this year. "Honda CR-V" comes only with a closed pyatidvernym body 16-klapannym two-engine and four-automatic gearbox (in the autumn-and five-mechanical). Yuri NECHETOV Photo Sergei Ivanov, Honda CR-V, released in Japan in the city of Samaya, in the plant, which recently received an international prize committee on the quality of products. Perhaps, the trustworthiness "Honda" is one of the reasons why, in Moscow, for example, turn to the paid machines is about half of hundreds of people. Try to understand what attracts so buyers are not cheap novelty. So, in our test, "Honda CR-V" worth $ 32,900. SNARUZHI. Make new vsedorozhnika can be seen not only in stylized letter "N" on the radiator grille. Large gauge have been the bonnet, a characteristic "cut eye" are all said to you is Honda. A relatively small wheels and high landing body give the impression that the car got to sleep. " There appears to be a simple and functional form of door hardware, which can be taken and the top and bottom. MEHANIKA. The "V" is a modern dvuhvalny 16-klapanny engine, which would be appropriate under the hood sports coupe. The good coverage leading front wheels only. If they start to slip, viskomufta mounts and rear bridge. Blocking mezhkolesnyh differentials and transfer of reduction is not applicable. The role of some dining performs automatic transmission, which gives the driver a good choice of regimes in different conditions : the transfer of four, three, just two, just one. A complex "cars' suspension provide" Honda "sharp reaction on the road. Back to the same steep bends in a rudder effect rear wheels, as a model of the Civic. However, a low-lying levers, and sit under a flat bottom PTO shaft and exhaust system suggests that heavy mud or deep track to bypass the party. Protecting the bottom of the engine compartment provides podkrylki only in niches front wheels. However, gasoline covered by plastic sheeting along the entire length. INSIDE. Remote control with popular otkryvaet-zakryvaet door and unlocking the boot. The latter called a few unusually : first comes up glass, then raspahivaetsya right lower part. If you do not believe that hidden behind "reserve" live "until the morning underneath the luggage is a familiar place, and the role of cover over it is - what would you think? Tourism-folding table. Clamber in "V", nor do we need to walk up as far vsedorozhnike or fall down, as a passenger car. Door gaskets (at the top of the triple-) leave clean doors. Height whether they can go if not in the cylinder, the hat-literally. Salon very spacious. Feelings of "air" increases the high roof, a large area of glazing and a lot of transparent hatch in the roof. And sex is flat, without ever interfering tunnel. The right front seat, two familiar settings, the same change is the driving angle and pillows are armrest. Tufted upholstery promotes good fix his body and razlozhennye seats are fairly flat "bed" suitable for a long rest. Adjustable height inertia belts complement two airbags. DRIVING PLACE. A characteristic feature of "Honda CR-V" - located on the American steering column selector "automatic". He moved on a complex trajectory step that seemed not very convenient. Unlike many cars with automatic boxes, there is no locking starts with the transfer included. Rudder adjustable for height, but the left leg is "forget" it is ploschadka-upor - pedaley-to only two, both to the right. Parking brake-hand, it is Europe. " The dashboards four face : tachometer, with a red zone of 6,300 rpm, speedometer and two directories : the amount of fuel and coolant temperature. In the last line-selector gearbox. Night devices illuminated slightly worrying yellow-orange. Podrulevye switches Standard : Left-light and turns, right-wiper, which is very convenient to use. Left on the front-management products in glass (by the way, great hidden in the rear door completely), mirrors, reading lamps, power washing headlamps, fog lights, and lock windows and doors. Right-button alarm, a vacant slot Hebei (with four speakers wiring already installed) and the control panel of ventilation and air conditioning systems. At the bottom of the central console, a few boxes for small items. Review with a good driving seats. Despite landing, road shows "before the bow," that is the bumper. The only reference to a domestic-type rear mirrors. The review by a limit thick rear pillars and head the second row of seats, he "reserve" and the rear windscreen corpus. MOVEMENT. Start the engine of a "Honda" and "CR-V" in particular, is one pleasure. Short "chirk", and under the hood is broken by the quiet rustle. Selector-in D4, "gas" in the field and, if podhvachenny gust of wind, vsedorozhnik are on the field. Go-and pedicure, soft and precise control, the car is likely to be pre-empted action by the driver. In an attempt to disperse the "automatic" is turning to one or two (in the deployment "kik-dauna") for "down". The impression is that control normal car-no "dzhipovskoy" quick reactions and valkosti. However, after half an hour, no longer wants to travel holes in the asphalt is so easy to "handle" their suspension. Have to try a new "Honda" and the road. Of course, tyres Bridgestone size 205/70R15 is the most "off", but their cars are bogged down in deep dry sand. In trogane from the first provorachivayutsya front wheels trying to "password", but are quick to buy back, and the car begins to move. What was the situation with the selector is "automatic" - care, still, it will be the first transfer. The exception is the "2", which forced a second. In this case, the power of the engine "perezhevyvaet" dining, and the torque to the wheels provernut lacks. The brakes of the "Honda" traditionally good, but not relieve ABS deemed too good heart and pedal vibration. MAINTENANCE, SERVICE. Forced Motor accept only unleaded "95th" gasoline. This will force the owner more picky about the quality of fuel. However, his very moderate rate. In Russia on a standard machine "hondovskaya" guarantee, without limitation run. But in Europe the first TO-10 thousand km, whereas in the realm of the motherland through five thousand km. With anything, the Russian conditions, to say the least, somewhat different from the European. The cost of the first service-about $ 100. The service will visit every 10 thousand km. In Russia's two "hondovskie" STO-in Moscow and St. Petersburg, prices normo-chasa them - $ 50. Oil, air and fuel filters cost in 19, 60 and 60 dollars. Brake pads : $ 199-front, $ 130 rear. Fans of "guns" ride will be useful to remember the following prices : wing front-$ 166, the back-$ 500-$ 279 hood, front bumper, $ 237, back-$ 247-$ 200 headlamps, windshield-$ 262. Editors thanked firm Aoyama Motors for donating to the test vehicle. Details of the sale, in the section "Prices dealers." Down table between the front seats, you can go back into the passenger compartment. The slope of the rear seat back is governed, and in the transport of cargo it can be down for part or in full. Large clearance and four-wheel leading enable feel confident enough and uphill. + Excellent engine, precise steering, good suspension, a spacious showroom, comfortable seats, decent complex. - Lack of choices range of engines and bodies, low-lying elements suspension, transmission and exhaust system, unleaded "95th" gasoline. Intersex new vsedorozhnika : basketball and zakonchennost. In the right-of logical to make the fifth door, which raspahivalas to left. PRESS "HONDE CR-V" Sales of new "Honda" in Europe and America have just begun, and not all car of its time to test. Nevertheless, German "Auto" said the pleasant poslushnost management, comfort, comfortable seating, a large number of functional elements. Among the disadvantages, according to the German colleagues, is the lack of choice of motors and gearboxes, and the modest size of luggage. The overall impression : The driver, "CR-V, the driver feels as good car middle class, rather than in vsedorozhnike (incidentally, in Germany, the car is worth DM 40,980). In England, where the "V" is sold in June this year for 15,500 pounds, the magazine "Autocar" noted the excellent performance management and pleasure of driving, putting "Honda" second place in the classroom after Toyota RAV-4. The Americans, in terms of the prices of cars in general and for a new Honda, in particular, the most fortunate. New here is the entire $ 19,695, and the magazine "Car and Driver" called the "reasonable price". Moreover, the outstanding manoeuvrability, good dynamic data management and congeniality "is" hondovskoe "quality". Not like the same tendency to zabryzgivaniyu beads.

Honda CR-V

You avid Antonio Gaudi, voshischaetes its unusual architectural masterpieces? Then you assess and third generation "parketnika" "Honda CR-V". OTKROVENIYA OT "HONDY" Not Worth European debut chose Barcelona is a city, which became a symbol of Gaudi works. This splendid contrast constructivism, so popular in the early XX century. Today, against the backdrop of the famous cathedral Sagrada Name of the third generation model CR-V seems too tehnokratichnym. However, compared with other students, floating against the current, much to set new standards. This innovation was peculiar and Gaudi. Many firms inflate the size machines with each new generation, "and" Honda has been the opposite. New CR-V is shorter in the past 105 mm, 30 mm below. Even wheelbase slightly reduced, and this is very unusual! "I want to emphasize : CR-V-car set up for asphalt. He has an unusual, but not frequently silhouette ", revelations, such as the European representative office issued a" Honda "Rast Christophe, hear infrequently. It was the class of cars whose off to tend to try to the best of stress! Here's another : "We wanted the new machine to behave on the road as a regular sedan or criticism". Incidentally, this is an objective that the centre of gravity lowered by 25 mm, spare wheel with the fifth door moved to the boot. Open the hood, immediately noticed how low is the engine. Weight machines, in fact, reduced by as much as 28.7 kg. The increased rigidity and the body of curling. Lecture over, the time for driving. The choice litre petrol engines and diesel 2.2 litre in Russia will not supply. I think most of us would demand "Honda CR-V" with "automatic". EY, NAVERHU! Look salon later customizes a calendar event. After a couple of minutes we have on the road linking the airport with Barcelona. Rate increases under unflagging voice engine, vykruchivayuschego in kik-daune usual "Honda" 6500 rpm. More… silence! At 100 km / h tachometer needle hangs in the bottom of the scale, the aerodynamic noise is not heard and specially selected for acoustic comfort tires Danlop-Grandtrek "17-dyuymovyh on wheels. Although construction trimmings from the previous version is not fundamentally changed, the feeling of driving still more. "Honda CR-V" is much like a sedan, not the cheapest. Sometimes it seems as if asphalt ustelili thin layer of rubber : any serious discomfort in a crash with a minor or "moderately serious" irregularities do not feel. The feedback and a machine to taxi : soft, but quick and precise. The highway onto a narrow path trail leading into the mountains. Naming CR-V "athlete" - slukavit. Dvuhlitrovy Engine-evolution machine, sporting the family "Civic", "develops 150 hp and "parketnik" accelerates to 100 km / h in 12.2 sec. It is not a record. However, lack of capacity and time is not even in the mountains. Box complemented with fine of Grade Logic, podstraivayuscheysya under driving style. The device translates the time shift, saving fuel or reducing the dispersal. How to get to where the long and ancient church? Asphalt ended under the wheels of a two-track "width" of stone, crossed a wooden "sleeper" - probably in the rain down the road. And here's wash. The rapid turnaround feel as if slipping front wheels connected rear. But moves trimmings small, no blockage and no speech. Yes, 4x4 adventures can be cross. However, before we do church arrived… Tut, top, without haste examined salon : pleased eye quality plastic, sderzhanno-elegantnye devices daedal rudder adjustment of the height and departure. Seats are comfortable : a pillow with a long, wide and fairly "acumen" back. The road version at hand and the driver had elektroregulirovok eight seats plus lumbar Retaining. Vkativshis evergreen in Barcelona, Gaudi to remember. Maestro recognized and understood by no means immediately. Innovations in the car much easier to assess. For instance, the second inside (the company calls it "negotiating") in ochechnike mirror on the ceiling. It is healthy to look after the children. The back rear seat folds in the proportion 40:20:40 allows evacuate dlinnomer while seated two ago. The electronics in the Honda CR-V "has a few. The standard for all variants of stabilization VSA now able to monitor and conduct the trailer : absorbing its variations, which often allows inexperienced drivers. The so-called active cruise control (ACC) operates at speeds of 30 to 180 km / h, automatically drops and gaining speed, depending on the availability of obstacles. But perhaps the real revolution in the field of passive safety. The CMBS to prevent clashes, in extreme cases, to reduce their effects. Alas, in the car for Russia it will not be. The frequency at which these systems operate, closed for business purposes, at least until… We seem too dissimilar different way : sorry, it does not describe the novel. Prices of "Honda CR-V" we do starts with solid 33,500 dollars and 39,500 for the dog. Those who appreciate innovation, preferring to swim upstream, it will probably not be deterred. BZOPASNOST NOT OUR Once the distance to the car in front went drops to dangerous collision avoidance CMBS drew attention audible signal and the inscription "Brake! "(" Down! ") In the panel. If the driver fails to act, podtyagivayutsya seat belt, the belt prednatyazhiteli twice podergivayut : breakwater, Wake up! If a person does not respond again, the car goes to the final phase : tightening belts as tight and applies emergency braking. How it works, come to himself. But it's hard to not pick up with gas! Machine indeed slowing, nastigaya strengthened to another "Honda" beams (risk "living" machines and our health, of course, did not). But finally stopped the vehicle is a driver-full automation brakes contrary to European law. Some doubt, of course, arise. As a novelty show in the ice and not too clean roads? What happens if the car ahead is slowing sharply? And all this works only when the difference in speed is 15 km / h. In an attempt, perhaps I was driving a couple of kilometres slower-device ignored our rapprochement with beams, and contact directory, although weak, held.

Honda CR-V review

Honda CR-V-a good symbiotic legkovushki, Tahoe and vsedorozhnika for her love in the world. The model priglyanulas Russians sought Igor Kozlov. BACKGROUND MODEL 2001 Debut second generation Honda CR-V. Body-pyatidverny minivan. Engines : petrol - P4, 2.0 litre, 110-horsepower kVt/150; P4, 2.4 litre, 119-horsepower kVt/162 Drive complete system (DPS bridge connecting the rear), or front, M5 or A4. 2002 Diesel with nasos-forsunkami and turbo - P4, 2.2 litres, 103 litres kVt/140. with. Vedomosti EuroNCAP : 4 stars, 11 and 15 points in the frontal and side impact respectively; 3 stars for protection in a crash with a pedestrian (19 points). 2005 Lightweight restayling : changed bumpers and radiator grille, upholstery materials salon. New gearbox A5 and Reference capability rear wheels. Side airbags and VSA stability system in the base set. 2006 Honda CR-V Submitted by the third generation. COSTS POPULYARNOSTI seemed like only yesterday we heard at the first generation Honda CR-V, and the yard today is the third. But it is not for them, and the average generation now available only in the secondary market. Today it is one of the most liquid and buses. The only "legal" motor for Russia-dvuhlitrovy with i-VTEC dining management phases and gas inlet pipe variable length. Judge for yourself : The new machine cost from $ 30,900 to 37,400 depending on the configuration and shower less than $ 21,000 for the car in 2002 not to come. Machines in 2004 and was sold from $ 23600 to 31800. There are even cases where car in 2006 sold for the price of new! In short, the situation is unlikely to change much, since the turn of the new machines (CR-V III) spread out over a year, while demand is known, dictates price. The rear seat is divided in a ratio of 40:60. Each section is, moves in the longitudinal direction and is subject to the corner of a chest. Even when tilted back sofa volume-525 litres of luggage! The reason for the popularity of trading in the traditional safety mark. Alas, it is understood and the hijackers : about 3% of the owners lose their mobility, and "in the course" are not only "evropeyki", but "pravorukie"! To flout additional foreign defence (not essential, mechanical or electronic) should not, and if it is lost key recommend chip set for the remainder (1350 rubles) That car forever "forgot" about the relatives of fugitive. Extra Key (bar) - 2200-2500 rubles. TROITSA Salon is not obsolete, a handcuffed (right of the steering wheel, console), which faces! All parts are well go well together. Lever gearbox ate passage Cross seats. The choice of engines for CR-V fragmented (see Background model). The Russian market car sold with a single bottle of petrol engine, the Europeans can enjoy more economical 2.2 litre diesel, and for the Americas offered, again only one petrol 2.4 million. Our secondary market, as usual, all smeshalos but diesel versions appear very rarely. The marker devices are not stellar architectural eye, but the book is not the cover and contents : readability, excellent! The trouble gasoline motors are our fuel. Rare set of candles reach 30 thousand km in need replacement every TO-through 15000 (candles NGK ZFRGK-11 or Denso KJ20DR-M11). Orders and burners : 60 thousand km recommend their wash. Dealers prefer washing withdrawal (ultrasound), in order not to touch the natural carbon on the valves and pistons, heads, it deposits in these parts for the engine is not so critical. Requires periodic replacement and fuel filter, which will require removal and fuel pump (motor under the rear seat) : filtr-setka located in the lower part. There are isolated cases of "poisoning" oxygen sensors and catalytic cells melting-again because of gasoline : the mere possibility refuel in the XXI century leaded fuel, to say the least, disappointing. Selector "automatic" is not used in dashboards, but opened up between the seats. Operation "music" on the steering wheel-a sign of heavy equipment. The chain drive mechanism for the distribution of care and control needs, but the valve regulated as usual, with a screw-nut convenient! Practice shows that the gap is not actually "takes", but neglected control our own peril. The small party machinery has been a problem with premature wear measurement transmission, but "good thumping vylezal outwards" in the warranty period (subject to 40 runs km), so it is problematic buses longer. DIRT DYROCHKU NAYDET The front suspension-type "Mak-Ferson" focus sleeve stabilizer (in a circle) and the steering device. Mileage of the car-90 thousand km, and the wear of brake discs almost zero! Engine compartment saturated dirt tetyana90 than a vacuum cleaner. The victims are not only the cuff, even if the owner to get under the hood and front engine throttle site, open to all winds. Sometimes, to 120-150 thousand km axis of the throttle valves are split so that the engine "peredergivaet" at idling speed. Verdict-replacement throttle hub assemblies, but that the severe sentence very little (only pathological slattern). More often sgnivayut lower cell sink conditioner, although this has caused icing and reagents. No wonder : have not figured this aluminum to rot on our gryazesolyanogo "pack". The rear axle is suitable only original oil, the type shown in the plate under the filler plug (shown by arrow). ShRUSy live very long, of course, if the cap intact. Though somehow protect the engine compartment from dirt roads to help reinforce crankcase (2700 rubles. Plus 600 rubles. Installation). While "Honda" is not recommended (not to disrupt the thermal balance of power), the dealer looks at this winking, knowing that the "soft" must be cared for. Experience shows that problems with the cooling system is not even a car with an automatic gearbox. Rear suspension with longitudinal and two transverse requires only controls the levers of bushes stabilizer (in a circle) and the adjustment of the wheels (node shown by arrow). To control all vehicle headlamps packaged jet faroomyvatelem (not to be confused with cleaner), and the consumption of "omyvayki" the system simply devastating. Pail 4.5 litres dried fight! Dried mud wrap average Russian jet still unable to overcome, so as not to spend unnecessarily forced many owners remove fuse No. 15 of the salon unit (next to the steering column) or an increase in supply chains separate tumbler. The ground clearance under the resonator 190 mm. The search engines 4x4 make sure cars (front and produced models) and the lack FR frogs. For serious off-road vehicle is not intended, to be remembered. Max, which is capable of transmission-shift hardship proselka light on the road at night (and they hinted creators, deploying over niches chute folding table for snedi) or winter squash on public roads. Limiters road-two, but both doroguschie : low bridge converter and the device connects automatically back bridge DPS (Dual Pump System), not loving peregrevov during long slippage. DPS easily finish and stupidity, positioned on the front and rear axles different bus, or car dragging method of partial loading. When extraneous sounds in the back of the bridge to traffic in turn not hurry to replace expensive unit may help early oil in it (only original Honda DPSF!) . The full 1.2 litres to replace a litre, the balance is still not swallowed. In GLYADI BOTH! American versions often can be even front, with the other elements of the rear suspension (1544 mm gauge instead of 1560 mm). In choosing buses prevented further look under the "belly" to make sure that drive the rear wheels. The gimbal transfer, in contrast to the first generation CR-V, a MAD, but the diagnosis is not ignored : the value of new details may reach 40,000 rubles. Yourselfers izlovchilis change crossing, but the repair is not the norm : imbalances could "run out" other parts DPS and the gearbox. In most instances, "American" is the back door luggage, podshtampovka under the back room not fit into our standard, and to acquire additional frame with a backlight. So before buying a cheaper car by the ocean is taken into account and these trifles. But most importantly, suggest that you check the car for "karfaksu" (some of the money to provide such services), it is possible that in a past life she had written expanded. STOLKO NE ZHIVUT remaining parts and assemblies can justifiably be called old. "The contract requires only changing the oil regularly (as" engineer ", see Rules replacement), the clutch is 160-180 thousand km sleeve stabilizers lateral stability up to 90 thousand km, and the steering nozzles, or hopefully for the 140. Stands stabilizers (pits) live more than 150 thousand km, shock absorbers, 90-120, and stupichnye bearings for 200. However, if abused road, these figures should not count. Thus, the known cases of early replacement racks stabilizer 80 thousand km and the ball 100 feet, but that most wines were dranye cap. Incidentally, if they are intact, even on ShRUSah altogether forgotten. But clear record can rightly be considered a brake discs : none car, observed dealer, has been replaced with the assumption that some jumped to 200 thousand km. Looking for partners, and pads are long-60-75 thousand. Overall, the model was a success : a worthy concept is a worthy representative. But talk about sverhnadezhnosti not, it tends to drive such vehicles, drivers head to keep submarginal operating modes. Machinery, as we know, loves swimming.
