The new version of the 2007 Honda CR-V is actually all part of the vehicle's third generation. And it looks like there is no stopping the changes and the type of features that this vehicle is going to have. Straight out of the plants and facilities of the company, the engineers do make sure that the vehicle holds the most capable parts to outfit the vehicle and the performance driven engines that they could create. After all, the Honda CR-V is the brand's compact sport utility vehicle that reaps in more sales for the company.

Honda Motor Corporation has released the newest Honda CR-V out to the industry. They believe this new vehicle is actually one that would give you a good driving experience. Plus, it comes with much improved levels in its equipment, instruments, and features. Of course, Honda made sure that the newest Honda CR-V has the best Honda parts as well as the latest technology in safety.

The Honda CR-V is being sold in over 160 countries all across the globe. And in most of these markets, the Honda CR-V has already gained much fame and reputation as a vehicle that just takes on the challenge and works out real fine.

What is new for 2007 is that the Honda CR-V would now be coming in two variations. One would be the popular SUV type of vehicle. The other one, the new one, would be just like the usual however this one would be coming as a two wheel drive. The 2007 version would be coming with a total redesign and with a new sheet metal that makes the Honda CR-V with an even better drag coefficient. Its exterior has also been changed as you can notice the new and rounder shape. You would also see that the front end has gotten quite sharper and the headlamps have been made to be profiled.

But these are not the only things you would find quite desirable with the new Honda CR-V. If previous models had a rear door that opened at the side, you would now find that such a feature has been eliminated. In its place, a lift gate was installed. The old rear door was also used to support the spare tire. So, they had to integrate it and chose to place it in the trunk, which allowed Honda to install the new lift gate.

The Honda CR-V is a vehicle that has already been in the automotive industry since the year 1996. This year could be considered as its tenth year in the industry. This vehicle is a compact crossover sport utility vehicle and it has been built in only one body style which is the sport utility vehicle that holds five doors. The Mazda Cx-7, Subaru Forester, Toyota RAV4, and the Mitsubishi Outlander are the vehicles that can be considered as the tough contenders of the Honda CR-V in the race to the top.

Many people have difficulty climbing into the high cockpit of most SUVs. This is not in this case. There is no need for a step-up mechanism as required for larger SUVs (ground clearance is at 8.1 inches, ample for off-road adventure, but not too high that you need a ladder to get in.) Once inside, you will notice a familiar Honda interior that has been modified for the compact SUV. The seats are supportive with much lower lumbar comfort for longer commutes, and the multi-functioning steering wheel is well contoured to accommodate a host of secondary features.

Two things that stand out in the cabin are the gear shift mechanism that protrudes from the dashboard and the hand brake that requires a saw mechanism to pull and push to activate and switch off. The rest of the cabin features unencumbered design and excellent round dials for climate control. The cabin has been well thought out and is ergonomically designed for life on the go. There are also a number of bins and door pockets for storing sun glasses, coins, maps, and beverage containers. Additionally, the 60/40 rear seats can tumble forward providing 72 cubic feet of cargo room, capable of holding two bicycles.

Technology means nothing unless it makes you feel something. Honda for some time has been known for generic design, but this is changing as emotionally-charged design is increasingly becoming the holy grail of Honda design. For example, if you walk around the second generation CR-V, you can't help but notice the new front grill, larger headlights, and the clean-cut look of the integrated bumpers. The front has a full-body appearance that is much bolder than the predecessor. The crisp hood lines have been tweaked for a subtle masculine feel. The longer wheel base provides better stability and a more aggressive stance. Look at it from the side, and the CR-V looks like a tight version of the popular Jeep Liberty. And the tail, with its lights placed higher on the panel, functions aesthetically well while enhancing safety.

Honda made sure that this Honda CR-V would not only be fitted for on road travails. You see, the company also boasts that even if you use this one for off road adventures, the Honda CR-V would make the whole experience quite remarkable and unforgettable. For months, CR-V fans have been craving information on the all-new 2007 CR-V. Now you can finally satisfy that craving! You will find everything you have been wondering about this all-new crossover SUV.
