IN less than one generation of motoring, the SUV has propelled itself to the front of the car market.

It’s the vehicle that does everything: It has space, a higher clearance and importantly, they look good and are fun to drive.

Car companies now compete primarily in the SUV market, which has all but replaced the passenger sedan and station wagon market.

Honda’s new CR-V is one such marvel. It’s a car that embraces intuition. Rear doors open a full 90 degrees, rear seats fold effortlessly for oodles of space and the bottom boot lip sits low to make getting things into the boot easier, which opens with a Kick Sensor on some models.

For the driver, there is a multi-angle reversing camera, LaneWatch technology, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It’s the kind of technology that tells the air con to be quiet when you have a call or a question.

Under the bonnet, it’s all power and efficiency. The 140kW VTEC Turbo Engine runs at just seven litres per 100km.

This beautiful new vehicle is available at Darryl Twitt Honda at 325-329 Midland Highway, Shepparton. To see and test drive the car for yourself, drop in and see the team or contact them on 5822 5833.
