Compact crossovers are a little like toothbrushes. They perform a function Necessary, but they're rarely exciting. Everybody needs a toothbrush, though, and toothbrush manufacturers want to outsell Their competitors, so we have wear-Indicating bristles, heads split flexible, integrated-and-cheek tongue scrapers, and the like.

Accordingly, much of Honda's technical presentation on the new CR-V focused on the next-gen mini-ute's new features, Including standard stuff like two information screens, a rearview camera, Bluetooth, and a function That reads incoming text messages from paired phones -assuming said phone is from a short list of BlackBerrys or a Droid X, as Those are the only devices with the which the CR-V can currently Communicate. Meanwhile, lesser points like the powertrain and the basic construction of the chassis were Mentioned only in passing. Makes sense: Once Colgate nails down the perfect handle cross section, head shape, and bristle feel, it's probably going to keep making That same toothbrush. Honda was pretty happy with the outgoing CR-V, and its sales numbers were indicated buyers That, too, so the new CR-V is a lot like the old one.

The size and proportion of the previous-generation Honda CR-V contributed to its success as the best-selling SUV in every calendar year from 2007 through 2010, as did refined styling features such as the multi-reflector halogen headlights, long full-body taillights, and exterior detailing that conveyed both ruggedness and sophistication.

Compared to the previous-generation CR-V, the 2012 model takes on a more aggressive and aerodynamic stance with deeper sculpting of the bodylines and a bolder front fascia. The front bumper's smooth-flowing lines are highlighted by a horizontal three-bar grille and deeply set multi-reflector headlights. The lower front bumper wraps smartly upward to convey SUV capability with a generous approach angle, while the lower front bumper design now integrates more smoothly with the fascia for improved aerodynamics. The CR-V's signature vertical rear brake lights, which originally debuted on the 1997 model, remain for 2012 with a more three-dimensional style that further compliments the design and aerodynamics of the vehicle. The CR-V's large wheels and bold fender flares emphasize the vehicle's dynamic presence and capability.

In aerodynamic efficiency, the new CR-V is targeted to be at the top of its class, with numerous design elements contributing to improved efficiency. The longer roofline and integrated rear spoiler help to lower the coefficient of drag.

The CR-V EX-L is equipped with silver roof rails that start at the A-pillars and sweep along the roofline toward the rear end of the vehicle (available as an accessory on CR-V LX and EX). These rails provide an attachment point for an accessory rack, while also providing a dramatic visual element. The rails are fully functional, with each side including three anchor points.

Though it certainly holds its own against competing four-cylinder-powered crossovers, there's not a whole lot of low-end power in the 2012 Honda CR-V; it's hard to ignore the fact that a V6 upgrade isn't available. On the plus side, the crossover distinguishes itself by offering steering and handling that are sharper and more rewarding than most of the competition's.

A new "Econ" mode dulls throttle response to enhance fuel economy, but the trade-off is compromised acceleration, and this is especially noticeable when traveling up gradients. The 2012 Honda CR-V features a smoother ride and a quieter cabin than last year's model, giving it a more refined feeling overall.source:edmunds.com,caranddriver.com,netcarshow.com
