If you look at the national sales chart for crossovers, there's one vehicle that we have to shower with praise: the 2013 Honda CR-V. It had a very strong month, topping its segment, proving that the vehicle found in the new Honda lineup is a good fit for people with a variety of needs.
When you consider that each model, be it the LX, EX, or EX-L trim comes with a center console and access to many applications like Bluetooth, a rear-view camera, and Eco Assist among others, it's not a surprise that 26,519 units left dealership showrooms in April. In total, the CR-V has year-to-date sales of 91,893; a number we expect to continue to rise a rapid rates.
That's because at Fox Honda, we feel the CR-V is just the right ride for the summer months and beyond. You get 37.2 cubic feet of cargo room, so storage is a breeze, and with an inline four-cylinder engine that pumps out 185 horsepower and 163 pound-feet of torque, power is ample, too.
The real difference is in fuel economy. With a five-speed automatic front-wheel drive CR-V, you get an EPA-estimated 23 miles per gallon city, and up to 31 mpg on the highway.* You'll find yourself traveling a lot further than you expected, and perhaps blaze new trails on an impromptu road trip throughout Grand Rapids, MI, and beyond.
If you'd like to check out the CR-V in person, stop in and see us in our showroom today. We'd be happy to detail the model, answer questions and set up test drives at your convenience.
