Honda CR-V
The CR-V has been treated to a full redesign for 2017. Apart from its revised styling, the SUV gets a longer wheelbase for increased passenger space, especially those sitting in back. The cabin gains higher-quality materials, while the standard feature list includes a remote engine starter and an intelligent key. Under the hood is a new turbocharged, 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine that develops 190 horsepower and delivers better fuel economy than the outgoing CR-V's powertrain.
