Honda CR-V has a well balanced body with a very good performance on the road. The front of the car flaunts the two step prominent looking radiator grille. The headlamps look sharper with four halogen lamps that perfectly blend with the car. The fog lamps are oval in shape. The side skirt which runs down from the front towards the rear gives the car a muscular look and also it sheds the heavy look of the car a lot. The car has body coloured OVRMs. At the rear the car has the elongated group of the tail lamps.

The Captiva has a very aggressive look from its front. The car has a wide mesh type radiator grille. The centre of the car houses the chrome gold logo of the company. The headlamps are rectangular in shape and the door handles have chrome inserts in them. The headlights are three dimensional. The OVRMs has chrome lining on them. The dual exhaust pipes at the rear have chrome finishing which makes them look bold.

In Honda CR-V, the comfort of the passengers has consciously been taken care of. The car’s interiors are quite roomy and spacious. The interior comes clad with ivory and black leather upholstery. The luggage space is ample and apt for long journeys. The car has sunglass holder, vanity mirror, 8-way adjustable driver’s seat, 12 CD cases; etc. The three spoke steering wheel is adjustable. The steering wheel has audio controls and cruise controls mounted on it. The wooden finish panel adds to the up market look of the car. Behind the steering wheel there is the LCD screen. The car has an automatic climate control.

It produces a maximum power of 150 PS at 4000 rpm and a maximum torque of 320Nm at 2000 rpm.
