Personal opinion about 7-seat HONDA CR-V in Vietnam
The new Honda CR-V with 7 seats, 1.5 turbocharger engine is being sought and waited by many Vietnamese consumers.
About the exterior
At the beginning of the car, Honda Vietnam has been very fond of this Honda CR-V with a full LED light cluster all inside. If on the CR-V version in Japan, it is a crystal glass lamp only, and this is a full LED light cluster. The lights at the bottom are also full led lights and inside are very high-class and luxurious glass spheres, not every car in the same segment has a full led headlight system like this, or to be clear. All of the CR-V's competitors do not have this lighting system.
The oil part is chrome plated, the male chromium makes it thicker and Honda makes the most of chromium to decorate its new cars, especially on this CR-V, even normally the front end is only chrome plated. A short section in the middle of the two lights, but the CR-V has chrome trim to the tail of the headlights, making the front of the car wider and stronger. Under the new bonnet is something special, the 2 turbocharged engine is similar to the Honda Civic but has been tweaked to increase capacity to 1.5 horsepower.
If we compare with this car's direct rival, the Mazda CX5, the engine of the Mazda CX5 2.0 has only 153 horsepower, far behind the 188 horsepower of this 1.5 engine, even The CX2.5's 5 engine also has a capacity of only 185, which is still inferior to the engine of this new CR-V. In addition, the gearbox of the new CR-V has also been changed, it is equipped with a CVT gearbox.
The body, what we can see right away is that the lazang system is increased from 17 inches to 18 inches compared to the previous version, in terms of design is relatively similar to the previous versions, but instead of previous versions, If the lines are straight, this one is slightly curved and looks healthier and thicker, more beautiful. Mirrors are the same, nothing has changed. The bottom is also covered with chrome to look more luxurious. And the door on this new version instead of a door without a button and without a smart lock, it is a touch door, when locked, you just need to touch lightly, and open it, just touch.
The rear of the car is really impressive with the taillights, which are also full led lights. It is clear that the new CR-V is extremely well cared for by Honda Vietnam. Full LED lights are much more beautiful than regular lights. In addition, most Japanese crossovers are not equipped with rear sensors, but the CR-V does and of course also has a reverse camera.
The chrome rim on the back is also very beautiful. The trunk is an electric trunk and can be adjusted in height by pressing a button and also has an anti-jamming function when you or a child is stuck, the trunk will automatically open. Looking inside, you can see the 3rd row, the 3rd row is very useful when traveling with 7 people, if the row of seats is raised, the storage space is a bit small. CR-V is also equipped with 2 exhaust pipes on both sides to make the car more balanced than the previous version.
About the furniture
The interior is extremely nice, if you remember the Honda Civic it's a little bit similar but it's actually nicer, the screen is pretty much the same but it's also changed a bit. It looks flat and smooth. screen and sharper. Automatic 2-zone air conditioner, very neat. If the previous Japanese cars were squares and then put the box in, the CR-V has a really decent screen.
And has appeared electronic handbrake this is a fairly new feature. There are also times when you stop at a red light and it will brake automatically and you can take your feet off to rest. The trunk is extremely wide and has both 2V charging ports and 12 USB charging ports, 2 HDMI port, when you open the tray, you can put your phone or wallet. A little more about the whole, decorated with wood grain, actually made from plastic, the wood grain is made very high, and the imitation leather looks very high-end if not introduced, it is difficult to recognize. .
The new CR-V, the interior is much more attractive. The leather seats are very comfortable, the driver's leather seat is electrically adjustable but there is no memory position and it has an inflatable bag on the back. The steering wheel is very similar to the Honda Civic. When turned on, the watch version is extremely beautiful, it also looks almost like the Civic but its screen when opened, it runs the graphics above very beautifully. Honda has improved a lot for its products. The mirror is an anti-glare mirror, the sunroof can be opened, so it is very convenient and a lot of other furniture.
In the 2nd row, the knees have not touched the first row, the back is also quite comfortable, when sitting upright, it also touches the ceiling a bit, still fits, the 2nd row is still okay, If you want to fall or slide up and down, you can still adjust it so it will be more comfortable. When sitting in the middle, the head can touch the ceiling, this area has 2 2,5A charging ports and has air-conditioning vents and armrests. Under the seat there is a hydraulic system that helps push the chair up without us having to use much force.
If you want to enter the 3rd row of seats, you have to open the 3nd row seats, climb up, just like other 2-seat cars, your knees have touched the back of the 7nd row seats, your head still has a distance, of course with A 2 + 1 car like this is not too reprehensible, with people about 5m2 falling down will be more suitable, children can sit comfortably. There are very strong air-conditioning vents, headrests, and reclining seats, so it will be more comfortable to sit, but the luggage space will be smaller.
In general, this 7-seat CR-V is also quite good, suitable for short trips.
