Honda - whats the difference?

caris

Hi

We are looking at changing our car to a 4X4 as we need a tow car.

We have been considering Honda's but want to know what the difference is between a Honda CRV and a Honda HRV?

Thanks for any comments

CRV is the current 4x4 in the Honda range. The HRV is more of a soft roader and some may not be 4 wheel drive. The HRV is no longer sold.

I think the HRV only came as a three door.

The CRV is a more conventional 4x4

What do you need to tow? The Honda CRV will only two 1,500kg.

Sorry about the mis-information about the HRV only having three doors (a long time since I looked at one) but I can tell you for definite the CRV I owned (brand new at the time 2005)
absolutely loved the taste of petrol and with it not having a very large tank (in relation to the size of the car) I spent a lot of time getting to know the staff at the local petrol station.

Mate of mine has had a CRV as a company car for 6 years now, still not done 100K, we use it as transport for fishing most weekends as he gets unlimited free mileage. Good job too, it absolutely loves petrol.:eek:

High reving, noisy and has not been without faults, but worst of all far to small on the inside even with the rear seats down. He doesn't tow with it.
