2012 Honda CR-V Overview
The final humiliation of the flesh in the summer of 2011, when the Civic, Honda and bread, butter, through a variety of media as inferior was hard to offers from Korea and the United States, an idea that would be ridiculous to do has only two years.

Luckily for Honda fans, look your last product launch, as it is put back on the road to success, that although the car in question is one that does not have rhythm. The CR-V 2012 is the fourth generation of the world's best selling crossover in the U.S., and Honda has wisely chosen to make incremental improvements in the CR-V instead of a radical change of the winning formula.

The 2012 Honda CR-V is a compact crossover SUV, which is limited to medium term. It is available in LX, EX and EX-L, EX-L with Navigation and EX-L with rear entertainment system versions, and can each with front-or all-wheel drive.

Out
The CR-V has evolved only slightly out, front and rear styling has been fixed a bit with the front much like the agreement. Honda has taken basically the same package, same wheelbase, same basic shape and proportions, but the roof has been changed a bit and the positions of the front seats for a car-like driving position. In addition, changing the angle of the rear pillar thing that freed a little more rearward visibility.

Within
The interior gets the instrument panel, a simplified, streamlined look with two coats, and more car and avoid the look thick, rough and messy the largest indoor Pilot SUV and Civic odd asymmetries and fuzzy control of high-end Accord models. Climate controls are just the audio controls below, with a small, five-inch-'i-MID' trip-computer screen and audio through things simple, with simple tools and direct switching. The center console extends between the front seats, and redesigned and has been coasters, trays, two storage compartments and a USB port.
