Why CR-V.
Imagine a game where you draw a card and it tells you to go on some adventure. It could be most anything–hiking in the mountains,
sandcastle-building at the beach, even a scavenger hunt in Peoria. If you drive a CR-V, it’s no contest. CR-V’s gung-ho versatility and
roominess put it way out front, while typical Honda virtues of innovation and effıciency keep it there. Plus, the 2005 CR-V gets lots
of updates like advanced safety engineering for every model and a handsome, leather-trimmed Special Edition too. Ready to play?

It’s not hard to explain the CR-V’s handsome, rugged style. After all, this SUV is built with all kinds
of Honda toughness through and through. It shows in the broad, square-shouldered stance and angular
lines. For 2005, the look gets even bolder with updated headlights, grille, taillights, bumpers, side trim and
more. Every model rolls on new, larger-diameter 16-inch wheels. Plus, the CR-V Special Edition shows
off with body-colored bumpers, moldings, door handles and a hard, sculpted spare-tire cover.

Old Faithful could take lessons from Honda engines – their durable,
reliable quality is the stuff of legends. The CR-V’s 2.4-liter powerplant is
no exception. Its lightweight, aluminum-alloy block and head contain
much advanced technology, like an i-VTEC valve-actuating
system. It employs variable valve timing and lift, variable timing control
(VTC), dual overhead camshafts and 4 valves per cylinder for powerful
responsiveness and great fuel effıciency 1 at all engine speeds. Transmission choices include a fun-to-shift 5-speed manual gearbox (EX)
and the smooth new 5-speed automatic transmission. But no
matter which model you want to go with, you’ll be taking it easier on the
environment, thanks to the CR-V’s Low-Emission Vehicle (LEV) rating.

control handling
The great thing about a 4-wheel independent suspension is the terrifıc job it can do combining
precise handling with a smooth, compliant ride. The CR-V adds to that a pair of stabilizer bars
to limit body roll and a rack-and-pinion steering system with variable power assist for excellent
road feel. Four-wheel disc brakes make for smooth, consistent stops. And you can choose a CR-V
with the Real Tıme 4WD system for enhanced capability. This amazing setup can automatically
go from front-wheel drive to grippy 4WD the instant traction starts to get iffy. Fıgure in the
CR-V’s ample 8.1" of ground clearance for yet another dimension of freedom. And every model
for 2005 benefıts from an increase to 16" wheels and beefıer P215/65 R16 all-season tires.

Honda designers are masters at making the insides of their vehicles seem
new upholstery are among the enhancements. Plus, 2005 presents the
bigger than the outsides. Once you’ve had the pleasure of enjoying the
opportunity to drive the new CR-V Special Edition. Along with
CR-V’s spacious comfort, you’ll be inclined to agree. It starts with
many exterior styling cues, the distinctive SE comes with supple leather

trim, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated front seats and heated

confidence safety for everyone

In applying our philosophy of safety for everyone, Honda
to explain this vehicle’s impressive performance in the National
engineers have equipped every 2005 CR-V model with front side
Highway Traffıc Safety Administration’s rigorous frontal- and side-
airbags and all-new side curtain airbags to go with the dual-stage,
impact crash-testing. The current CR-V design has achieved a
dual-threshold front airbags. Every CR-V comes with anti-lock
5-star crash-test rating – the best possible.* But then again,
brakes (ABS) as well. And each and every new model now has the
this is familiar territory for Honda safety engineers. As a look
remarkable Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system that’s designed
at the list of all 2004 models tested will show, no other brand has
to help control skidding. All of this is on top of the exceptional
more 5-star crash-test ratings than Honda. So you can drive with
strength and rigidity of the CR-V’s body structure. Which helps
the confıdence that if the unexpected happens, you’re prepared.
*National Highway Traffic Safety Administration frontal and side crash tests, May 2002.

Absorbs excess energy fast.
The CR-V body structure is designed with
sacrificial crush zones in both front and rear.
In an impact, they serve to deform in a
controlled way and soak up crash forces.

Airbags that do what’s called for.
The CR-V’s front airbags can deploy at one of
two rates and thresholds, depending upon
crash severity and seat-belt use.†

VSA
A model of stability.
Every 2005 CR-V comes equipped with
Honda’s sophisticated Vehicle Stability Assist
system. VSA is designed to detect discrepancies between the driver’s input and what’s
happening out on the road. If the system
senses the onset of oversteer or understeer, it
can apply the brakes to individual wheels and/
or reduce engine power to help you restore
the vehicle to the path you intended.
It’s easy to do the right thing.
Child seats, of course, should always be
securely strapped into the back seats. So
that’s where you’ll find the Lower Anchors
and Tethers for Children system. LATCH
makes it quicker and easier to install your
compatible child seats in the correct way.
Just as rugged as it looks.
CR-V’s body is designed to be a stalwart
friend in tough times. The use of numerous
crossmembers, high-tensile steel and much
bracing helps prevent cabin deformation.
Front airbags inflate and deflate in a fraction of a second.

It’s curtains for side impacts.
7
Keep those wheels turning.
On all CR-Vs, standard ABS can sense
wheel lockup during hard braking and
then pulse the brakeline pressure to
help you retain steering control.
New in 2005, side curtain airbags on the CR-V
are designed to deploy in a sufficient side
impact. They cover windows on the affected
side to help reduce head injuries. The front
side airbags have a passenger-side Occupant
Position Detection System (OPDS) to prevent
deployment if a small-statured person is out
of position and in the deployment path.
†Honda reminds you and your passengers to always buckle up.

Soichiro Honda founded the Honda Motor Company in 1948 to provide people with affordable,
dependable transportation. Wıthin a few short years, Honda was one of the world’s preeminent
motorcycle manufacturers. At Honda, we believe that the fırst step in making a good product is
to listen to people and understand their needs. This core value is reflected in almost everything
we do, like designing and building our products in the markets where they’re used. In the
importance we place on safety engineering and on being friendlier to the environment. And in
our belief that the power of ingenious thinking can make great things possible.

Honda has been assembling cars
in the U.S. since 1982. Today, we
benefit from the efforts of almost
25,000 American associates.
Close to 4 out of 5 Honda vehicles
sold in the U.S. are assembled in
North America. And our network
of almost 600 U.S. suppliers
makes more than 90% of the
content that goes into those
North American Honda vehicles.
Imagination unbound.
Honda innovation is reestablishing the boundaries in
aerospace technology with the HondaJet – a highly
fuel-efficient, low-emission experimental aircraft with
exceptional cabin space. And Honda’s ASIMO is the
world’s most advanced and capable humanoid robot.
▼
We have a clear edge.
Since our pioneering CVCC engines of the ‘70s,
Honda has led the way in Earth-friendlier cars.
Today, every Honda is a Low-Emission Vehicle (LEV)
or better. Our natural-gas Civic GX is the cleanest
internal-combustion vehicle the EPA has ever tested.5
Only Honda offers three hybrid vehicles.6 And now,
our advanced zero-emission FCX fuel-cell car is the
first certified for commercial use in the U.S.
Making safety for everyone.
Honda has long been a leader in developing and applying
sophisticated safety technology. Our new research facility in Ohio
features the world’s most advanced high-resolution crash barrier.
And our Tochigi, Japan, laboratory is the world’s first indoor alldirectional crash-test facility. Activities at these centers are
playing a critical role in the ongoing evolution of our “safety for
everyone” initiative. Through a comprehensive approach to
vehicle safety, Honda seeks to provide top-level occupant
protection within all of our cars and trucks – regardless of size or
price –as well as reduced aggressiveness toward other vehicles
and improved safety for pedestrians.

“A company is most clearly
defined neither by its people
nor by its history, but by its
products. Our products will
speak the truth about Honda.”
Winning is good. Learning is better.
Honda began racing motorcycles in the 1950s and cars in the
‘60s. Over the years, we’ve done quite a bit of winning, too–
including the top seven places in the 2004 Indy 500,® led by
Buddy Rice of Rahal-Letterman Racing. And all of our vehicles
certainly reflect the advancements of our hard-won technology.
But we believe the greatest benefit of racing is how it prepares
our engineers to think creatively under pressure. So they’re
always ready for the next big challenge.
