The 2008 CR-V

Overview "All-Around Class Leader in Style, Dynamics and Versatility with Advanced Safety" When Honda's CR-V was introduced in 1997, it helped define the compact sport utility vehicle (SUV) segment in Canada and was hailed as a segment leader. It quickly grew in popularity because of its compact size, innovative features, go-anywhere functionality and excellent fuel efficiency. The 2008 CR-V is designed to be a capable SUV that offers buyers, often with young families, a functional, go-anywhere, do-anything vehicle for modern adventures year-round. Sold in more countries than any other Honda vehicle, the CR-V is Honda's entry-level truck product and is among Honda's best-selling vehicles worldwide, cumulatively reaching about 2.5 million customers in 160 different countries over its lifetime. To date, more than 150,000 CR-V's have been sold in Canada, making it one of Canada's most popular light-truck. Honda CR-V is a highly versatile four-door sport utility vehicle with a roomy 5-passenger interior, sedan-like handling and comfort, while offering the highest levels of standard safety features in the segment. The 2008 Honda CR-V adds a dynamic sense of style and refinement, bridging the space between sport and utility better than any CR-V yet, while adding collision compatibility safety enhancements like Honda's exclusive Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) Body Structure. As an SUV, the foundation of the CR-V starts with unit-body construction for sedan-like on-road performance, maximized interior packaging, optimized safety construction and good fuel economy for an SUV. Since unit-body construction allows for interior space to be maximized, the CR-V's packaging provides generous 5-passenger interior space and superior cargo functionality relative to traditional SUV designs that are inherently less space-efficient.
