Looking for an Altogether New SUV Experience? Autotrader Recommends Test-Driving the 2017 Honda CR-V

Lately, the crossover-replete SUV market has crossed over into similarity. Looking to tack into some new experiential terrain? We at Larry H. Miller Honda Murray know a research and online marketplace expert that can help.

Autotrader named the 2017 Honda CR-V, redesigned and re-engineered for the model year, among the models comprising its "12 Must Test Drive Vehicles for 2017" list, giving special attention to exterior style improvements, a dynamic drive-time, and an interior to match, replete with standard features. And our Murray, UT Honda dealer saw more than a few of our own reasons for the praise. The inventory on proud display at our 5808 South State Street showroom is their showcase.

An 184-horsepower, inline 4-cylinder 16-valve DOHC i-VTEC engine presents standard in the 2017 Honda CR-V, shelling out 180 pound-feet of go-anywhere torque, topped only by a turbocharged iteration available in the graduation to higher trims. Factor in it Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), smoothly transitioning between gears atop the sporty road feel of MacPherson strut front and multilink double wishbone rear suspensions, and you have the makings of the kind of responsive handling Autotrader had in mind. And 2017 CR-V's Sport Mode offers that extra push that only the reliable stability of a long 104.7-inch wheelbase and 7.8 inches to 8.2 inches of trim-dependent ground clearance can deliver.

And you can count on the continuing Honda commitment to keep you secure for the duration, too. 2017 Honda CR-V boasts Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with Traction Control for capable maneuvering, effective halt control when things get steep afforded by the trifecta of anti-lock brakes with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist, and Hill Start Assist. And the EX trim and higher each offer available Honda Sensing™ technology comprised of a Collision Mitigation Braking System™, Road Departure Mitigation System, Lane Keeping Assist System, and Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow for the apex of driver-assist.

But there's more to the 2017 Honda CR-V than even the most thorough review can deliver. And you're welcome to experience it for yourself here at Larry H. Miller Honda Murray. Stop by and visit us today, and we'll be delighted to set you up behind the wheel for your own must-test-drive experience!
