CR-V
Your car needs to be versatile. Ready for virtually anything and
everything. In short, it needs to be a lot like you. Enter the
Honda CR-V. It’s well suited to just about any
task you might ask of it. Real Tıme™ 4WD
and a 146-hp engine make it an SUVthat is
as much fun to take downtown as it is to
take camping. In addition to
fınding the safety, quality and
reliability you expect from
Honda, you’ll discover innovations
throughout, like a cargo floor that
turns into a picnic table. We
think you’ll fınd the CR-V an
excellent match. After all, it’s
almost as unique as you are.
A necessity for the spontaneous.

transmission with Grade Logic Control, dual front airbags, power
windows, mirrors and door locks, rear child-seat tether anchors,
a removable picnic table, air conditioning, an AM/FM stereo with
cassette and 4 speakers, and two 12-volt power outlets.
CR-V 4WD LX: The 4WD LX includes all the creature comforts
that make driving the 2WD LX such a good time, but in addition
offers Honda’s Real Time 4-wheel drive. This model comes with
a standard 5-speed manual transmission, and is available
with a 4-speed automatic transmission.
After you decide on a model,
you’ll need to decide on a destination.

Special Edition. It features leather-trimmed seats, a leather-wrapped
steering wheel, rear privacy glass and an AM/FM stereo cassette
CR-V 4WD EX: The 4WD EX offers several more attractive
with in-dash CD player. Adding to its rugged good looks are body-

Life has a way of delivering the unexpected. That’s why it’s good to have a CR-V when you
take to the streets. If the unthinkable should happen, the CR-V’s rigid body also functions as
a “steel safety cage.” Energy-absorbing bumpers help protect in minor impacts. Front and rear
