Honda CR-V VTi-L 2017 review: snapshot

EXPERT RATING
7.8
The $38,990 VTi-L is the grade below the top of the range VTi-LX in the CR-V range.

The $38,990 VTi-L is the grade below the top of the range VTi-LX in the CR-V range. The VTi-L's third row and a total of seven seats makes this grade unique in the line-up where all other trim levels have only five seats.

Standard features include a leather seats, panoramic sunroof, heated front seats with power the driver’s being power adjustable, auto wipers, 7.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, multi-angle reversing camera, sat nav, Bluetooth connectivity, an eight-speaker sound system, dual-zone climate control,  front and rear parking sensors, power tailgate, 18-inch alloy wheels,  push-button ignition and proximity unlocking.

The new generation CR-V doesn't come with a manual gearbox, instead buyers will have to go with the CVT auto on all models.

All CR-Vs also have the same engine – it's a 140kW/240Nm 1.5-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder. The VTi-L comes only as a front-wheel drive with Honda claiming combined cycle fuel economy of 7.3L/100km.

The CR-V scored the maximum five-star ANCAP rating, however it doesn't get the advanced safety equipment of the top spec VTi-LX such as AEB.

You'll find two ISOFIX points and three top tether mounts for child seats across the second row. There is also a full-sized spare wheel.
