New Diesel Performance
We love engines. That's why we build so many. It's why we created the i-DTEC engine - a cleaner, more powerful diesel engine. The i-DTEC uses a revolutionary casting method to produce one of the quietest, most refined diesels around. In fact, with its increased torque, high responsiveness and enhanced acceleration, you probably won't even notice it's a diesel.Our 2.2 litre i-DTEC diesel engine is now available on all 2010 CR-V models. The new engine can be paired with either a manual transmission or a 5-speed automatic gearbox, depending on your personal preference.
Top Features
Responsiveness- To achieve crisper responses for the driver, we lowered the CR–V’s centre of gravity. And this, along with the striking alloy wheels and wider stance, give the CR–V an agility that’s usually only found in ‘normal’ cars. The CR–V truly gives you the best of both worlds. It has the security of a high-driving position and 4WD, as you’d expect in a SUV.
Refinement and Comfort- Everything inside the CR–V has been thought about extensively – every stitch, curve, pocket and surface. We’ve analysed the way people drive and looked to create an interior that gives you plenty of space, from the positions of the gear shift and handbrake, to the fully adjustable steering column. You’ll also notice less sound around the engine and cabin when you’re on the move, due to our innovative sound-deadening technology. So you can enjoy a quieter, more relaxing drive.
Versatile Space- The CR-V offers comfortable seating for up to five adults. The rear seats can be gently reclined back to create extra leg room, and the EX model comes complete with heated leather seats too. And that’s not all. The CR-V’s interior has been specially designed for extra flexibility when it comes to storing your luggage. Using our One Motion mechanism, each of the rear seats folds down independently to create a completely flat floor area and open up even more boot space. The double deck luggage area enables you to organise items in the boot and provides easier access to them.
What the Critics Say.......
"The CR-V is comfortable and easy to drive. It’s also safe, practical and won’t cripple the bank account."

"It gets boring talking about how well Honda sticks its cars together, but it's the truth. If one of these things breaks it's like winning the lottery. Except in a bad way obviously."
