What's it take for a ride to rocket to the top of its class? That is, how does any given vehicle transition from obscurity to celebrity?
Well, as a standout of the compact SUV segment, the 2016 Honda CR-V most certainly has the answer. However, since it can't speak for itself -- not yet, anyway -- we at Honda of Salem are here today to function as its mouthpiece. Continue reading to learn all about it.
We like to think much of the CR-V's charm is predicated on its powertrain. Propelled by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder, the crossover churns out 185 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque. Front-wheel drive is standard, while an all-wheel system is offered as an option.
Also worth mentioning is its continuously variable transmission, the only gearbox available with the CR-V. A benefit to fuel efficiency, this CVT is one that's sure to keep you smiling between gas station fill-ups.
For more information about this handsome utility hauler, or to take the wheel of one, we invite you to swing by our Salem, OR showroom. Our seasoned staff is available to address your every question regarding the CR-V, or any other Honda model throughout the current catalog.
