As far as SUVs are concerned, people didn’t have too many options. However, the scenario changed with the entry of the Honda CR-V in the compact SUV segment. People started opting for these cars because of the comfort, performance and the luggage space offered.. The 2014 Honda CR-V DTi-L is available in a 6 speed manual transmission or 5 speed automatic transmission. This car can smoothly drive on inclined surfaces without low range gearing. Even if you’re driving downhill with cruise control, you can tune your speed from 8-20 km/hr.
The diesel version comes with a 2.2 liter turbo-diesel along with a torque of 110 kW/ 350 Nm. The top DTi-L comprises the 5 speed torque converter. It comes with heated front seats with driver’s memory settings, Xenon headlights, leather trim and 18-inch alloys.
The design of the diesel version retains its cargo space of 556L/1120L and 1500 kg braked tow rating along with the full size spare of the petrol models. The manual DTi-s, however, can stretch up to 2000kg in case of towing watercraft or trailers. When compared to its rivals in the same segment, the Subaru forester and Nissan X showed better performance on dirt roads and mountains. The ground clearance it offers is similar to the Mazda CX-5.
If you’re completely smitten by this car but cannot afford to buy it, you can definitely find a crashed Honda CR-V for sale or a theft recovered Honda SUV on auction. You can find a good deal on the online auction sites and bid on a vehicle from the comfort of your home.
