2007 Honda CRV

The CRV is a popular, 4-door compact crossover SUV that Japanese automaker Honda has been manufacturing since the 1996 model year. The 2007 Honda CRVmarks the beginning of the model’s third vehicle generation, the most refined edition of the vehicle Honda has ever manufactured. The 2007 Honda CRV is an excellent used vehicle option for those consumers who want SUV cargo space coupled with a ride suitable for urban environments. This CRV lacks a V6 option, which is big negative for consumers that want quickness or off-road capability.

The 2007 Honda CRV is available in LX, EX and EX-L trim levels. The standard LX includes 17-inch steel wheels, air-conditioning, full power accessories, upscale cloth upholstery, a folding center tray, a four-speaker CD audio system, and an auxiliary input jack. The EX adds 17-inch alloy wheels, body-colored exterior trim, an exterior temperature gauge, a rear cargo shelf, an in-dash CD changer with six-speaker audio system, and a moonroof.

The 2007 Honda CRV comes in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive models both of which include the 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder. This engine is rated at 166 horsepower and 161 pound-feet of torque. The all-wheel drive system routes power to the rear wheels only as needed. Both configurations earn similar fuel performance. The front-wheel drive is rated 23/30 mpg city/highway while the all-wheel drive is rated 22/28. The EX-L adds luxury amenities such as leather upholstery, front heated seats, exterior heated mirrors, a fixed center console, and an XM satellite radio. The EX-L is the only trim level for which the DVD-based navigation system was available. That navigation package also included a rearview camera, a PC card reader, an upgraded stereo amplifier, and an upgraded rear subwoofer. The one drawback to this setup is that the CD changer is in the center console rather than installed in the dash. Due to this, they installed an additional single-CD player behind the navigation screen for easier access while driving.
