The new 2008 2009 Honda CR-V's come in three model trims, including 2wd
and 4wd. 
The
new CR V has a 60/40 split fold-down rear seat which means you
don't have to compromise rear passenger comfort when carrying
a passenger and extra long cargo. This creates a greater cargo
capacity, both rear seats can be folded forward for hauling larger
items. The new Honda CR-V comes with a Real Time 4 Wheel Drive
system. When the traction of all four wheels are needed, such
as on slippery roads, the system automatically engages the wheels
for maximum tire grip. Real Time 4-Wheel Drive is a hydraulically
actuated system that operates only when front-wheel slippage occurs.
Also unique
with the new 2008 2009 Honda CR-V is the Grade Logic Control
automatically downshifts or upshifts when driving down or up a
hill. It differs from other computer-controlled shift programming
because it determines actual driving situations based on six different
stored "shift maps," and based on that data, selects
appropriate shift points.
The new CR-V
for 2008 2009 has a reduce engine idle vibration, a fluid-filled
engine mount is used at the engine's inertial-axis mounting point
making this new Honda very quiet on the road.
For added
security on the new Honda CR-V is the coded key, if the code agrees
with the code in the Powertrain Control Module, or PCM, the PCM
lets the driver start the engine.
The new 2008 2009 Honda CR-V models come with added safety
features which include; the side airbag which inflate to help
protect the driver or front passenger's upper body. Honda took
this safety technology a step further than its competitors with
its Occupant Position Detection System, if a child or small-statured
adult is leaning into the deployment path of the side airbag the
new sensors deactivate it.
