About this generation

The fourth-generation Honda CR-V is a compact crossover SUV manufactured by Honda from 2011 to 2018, replacing the third-generation CR-V. It debuted as a concept model called the CR-V Concept in Los Angeles, United States in September 2011, and went on sale in the country in December 2011. It was introduced in Japan in November 2011 and went on sale a month after.

What changed in the facelift

The facelifted CR-V went on sale during October 2014 for the 2015 model year. The CR-V uses the direct injected "Earth Dreams" engine and continuously variable transmission (CVT) combination first introduced on the ninth generation Accord, EPA estimated fuel economy is improved +4/+3/+3 mpg (city/highway/combined). The structure has been modified to improve crash performance, particularly in the IIHS's small offset crash test.

The suspension shock absorbers, springs, anti-roll bars and lower control arms are also revised to improve ride performance, while a reduced 15.6:1 steering gear ratio and larger brake booster gives it a sportier feel. The EX-L with the Rear Seat Entertainment option was discontinued in 2014 for the 2015 model year. A new "Touring" trim supplants the "EX-L w/Navigation" trim level as the top trim level and adds Forward Collision Warning (FCW) with Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Lane Departure Warning (LDW) with Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) along with a power tailgate, power seat and side mirror memory, projector headlamps and integrated turn signal side mirrors.

The interior has been upgraded for a more upscale look with Honda's Lane Watch passenger side mirror camera now standard (on EX and above trims) as well as newly available exterior LED daytime running light headlamps.
