You might have read about the review of the Honda CR-V in detail and might also be impressed with the features explained. However, it should be equally interesting for you to know what was special in the second generation of the new Honda CR-V. One thing important to know here is that the launching of various versions of the same vehicle model is common in the automobile sector. However successful the first generation is, the manufacturer will try to work out on the drawbacks if any in the previous generation and come up with a better, advanced version. That’s what had happened in case of the new Honda CR-V.

The first generation of Honda’s prospective model CR-V had generated a fair amount of sensation in the initial stage. But analysts did their job and based upon their feedback and taking clues from the inputs received for the first generation CR-V, makers of the vehicle came up with a revised generation, the second generation of the CR-V. Though there were not many negative feedbacks, Honda wanted to work on the inputs received to make the second generation much better than the first generation Honda-CRV. Among many improvements, one was the significant enhancement in the gas mileage that Honda CR-V delivered earlier.

It was in the year 2002 when the new model of CR-V came up and it had a powerful torque of 162 lb. ft. and the horsepower of 160. Normally, if the power increases, the civil economy can go down. But it did not happen in the case of CR-V; though the power was increased, fuel economy did not suffer. This was the first major achievement of the second generation of the new Honda CR-V.

An i-VTEC system was installed in the vehicle and this favorably worked for the brand. The second generation model of the new Honda CR-V went on till the year 2006. This was almost time for the company to start thinking about a third generation model and check when it can be launched in the market. In the second generation, the audio and car interiors especially made a mark in the hearts of buyers and the market as well.
