2019 Honda CR-V

2019 Honda CR-V Review - The Bottom Line

The 2019 Honda CR-V hasn't evolved much from the 2018 model after having seen a full redesign in 2017. When it comes to headroom and passenger luxury, the CR-V is still one of the most vast vehicles in its collection and it's unquestionably the king of storage space. Depending on the trim you prefer, you'll be spending anywhere from $24,000 - $34,150 before your Coggin Deland Honda discount. One great aspect of the CR-V is that you won't have to go all the way to the Touring model to get the best bang for your buck. Many of its most advantageous technological features are available in the lower priced trims.

How Much Does The New 2019 2019 Honda CR-V Cost?

The estimate of the new 2019 CR-V bases heavily on what trim you chose and any additional packages. Luckily, Honda doesn't offer a variety of distinct upgrades and packages that you can add to your vehicle and instead defines its trims based on what packages & features come straight from the manufacturer.

The only two packages you have with Honda is whether you want all-wheel drive (AWD) also known as 4x4 and four-wheel drive (4WD) or if you'd rather stick with two-wheel drive (2WD). You will have this option on every single trim offered on the 2019 CR-V and the AWD package will cost you around $1,400 more than the two-wheel drive powertrain.

Deep Dive into 2019 Honda CR-V Technology

The 2019 Honda CR-V features state-of-the-art technology built into the Honda Sensing® suite. Our technological advances make for not only a more comfortable ride, but they should provide peace of mind in providing the driver and passengers safety. Honda Sensing® includes Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow, and Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS).

Stay Protected with Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)

Honda Sensing®'s Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) can help avoid collisions by applying brake pressure when a vehicle or pedestrian is detected. In the event of a possible frontal collision, the 2019 Honda CR-V will activate a warning, and if the system senses that a collision is unavoidable, it will apply brake pressure, often mitigating any damage by reacting, in many instances, faster than the driver might be able to themselves. The Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) is meant to reduce the probability of a front-end collision, and to take steps to limit the severity of a front-end collision if it unavoidable.

Stay in Your Lane with the Honda Sensing® Road Departure Mitigation System

The 2019 Honda CR-V's Honda Sensing® Road Departure Mitigation System can help your Honda stay on the road if it crosses a detected lane. The system will achieve this by adjusting steering and braking. If you happen to cross a detected lane without signaling, the RDM will activate a warning, and can even adjust your steering and braking if needed. Sometimes long drives can cause the driver to become distracted, and if the CR-V begins to veer off the road, the Honda Sensing® Road Departure Mitigation System will kick in and keep you safe. The 2019 Honda CR-V is all about keeping you and your family safe.

Let the CR-V Do the Work for You with the Adaptive Cruise Control

The third component of the Honda Sensing® suite is the 2019 Honda CR-V's Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow. The ACC will help maintain speed by following intervals on the highway, so you won't have to manually adjust your speed. This will also help drivers maintain a set following interval behind other vehicles. When Adaptive Cruise Control is active, it can detect vehicles ahead and help you keep a safe distance in traffic. Honda Sensing® helps use technology to maintain safe distances and intervals in heavy traffic situations.

Stay Centered with Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

The final piece of Honda Sensing® is the Lane Keeping Assist System, which will detect if the driver is straying from the center of the lane without signaling. The steering will adjust and help you keep in the center. This component works great in conjunction with the Road Departure Mitigation System, and you should never stray far from the center of your desired lane with the 2019 Honda CR-V. The LKAS uses a camera to help detect lane lines and adjusts your steering to help keep you centered. All four of the Honda Sensing® are built together to not only provide protection and comfort in getting to where you need to go, they show how Honda's forward-thinking technological advances are changing the way we drive.
