Lockport, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/14/2011 -- Buffalo area Honda dealer West Herr excited to offer shoppers their latest line of 2011 Honda CR-Vs. Buffalo Honda families will be pleased with the CR-V’s ample cargo room and standard safety features.

The 2011 Honda CR-V is a crossover SUV that provides comfort, convenience and safety. Under the hood is a 2.4-liter, 16-valve i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine that gets 180 horsepower. The 5-speed automatic transmission uses Honda’s Grade Logic Control system, which detects the ascent or descent on extreme hillsides and adjusts the gears accordingly. This eliminates the need to manually find the right gear on high slopes. Fuel economy rates as 21 mpg city and 28 mpg highway.

All trims levels come with Honda’s Real Time 4-Wheel Drive system. Like the Grade Logic Control System, Real Time automatically detects driving conditions and switches to 4-wheel drive only when necessary. This feature can greatly save on fuel, since the extra power needed by 4-wheel drive is only used sparingly.

Other Features For Buffalo Honda Drivers

The CR-V is packed with features to make the driving experience as smooth as possible. Steering wheel-mounted controls allow the driver to effortlessly interact with the audio and navigation systems with minimal distraction. Likewise, Bluetooth connectivity can connect to any Bluetooth-enabled cell phone for hands-free talking. An mp3 USB jack allows mp3 players to stream through the vehicle’s stereo system, so there’s always the perfect music for a daily commute. The CR-V comes with 4 to 7 speakers, depending on trim. All trims come with heat-rejecting glass to keep the interior cool on hot summer days. The EX and EX-L trims also have a one-touch power moonroof. Cargo room is plentiful: with the rear seats folded down, the CR-V has 72.9 cubic feet of storage space.

Safety features are numerous. 4-wheel anti-lock brakes with electronic brake distribution allow the CR-V to sense an emergency situation and distribute brake force accordingly. Vehicle Stability Assist and Electronic Traction Control aid the driver when maneuvering through hazardous situations. Airbags include driver and passenger side, side curtain and rollover sensors to deploy overhead airbags if necessary. Tire pressure monitoring will alert the driver when tire pressure is low.
