2015 Honda CR-V - NOLA.com (blog)

Engine: 2. 4L V4. Transmission: 6-speed CVT automatic. Fuel Economy: 27 mpg city/34 mpg highway. The Honda CR-V has been a reliable name in compact SUV's for nearly two decades. To bring it up to a new level for 2015, Honda gave the CR-V more style, upgraded tech and, new for 2015, optional 18-inch alloy wheels. The result is an efficient and reliable vehicle that looks as smart as its driver. The highly efficient engineering of Honda's 2. 4-liter engine has been re-tooled to offer better performance. Thanks to the added efficiency of the continuous variable transmission, the increased power comes at virtually no impact on the CR-V's legendary fuel efficiency, which reaches a class-leading 34 miles per gallon on the highway. When more power is needed, the CR-V also includes a sport mode, which programs the transmission to shift with snappier response. On the inside, the CR-V is spacious and functional. A power liftgate and fold-down seats help the "small" SUV adapt to big loads and bigger adventures. Honda has also improved the sound isolation for 2015, making the cabin an even quieter place. Passengers will appreciate the addition of rear air vents for maximum comfort, and soft-touch materials and controls throughout give the CR-V a comforting touch. Source: blog.nola.com
