2017 Honda CR-V Owner’s Manual

The 2017 Honda CR-V is a compact SUV that is both flexible and well-rounded. It has always been a top choice for families and people who want a reliable and useful car. The CR-V has a modern look and a roomy cabin, so it can fit both people and things. This makes it perfect for both daily commutes and long road trips. Under the hood of the CR-V is either a fuel-efficient 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine or an optional 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which strikes the right balance between power and gas mileage. This SUV is appealing because it has an entertainment system that is easy to use and smart safety features like Honda Sensing. The 2017 Honda CR-V is a reliable companion for any trip, thanks to its comfortable ride and sure-footed handling. This solidifies its place as the best-selling and most trusted small SUV on the market.
