The new Honda CR-V - Dynamic driving experience with improved comfort and optimized driving characteristics

When developing the chassis for the new CR-V, great emphasis was placed on safety and comfort for all vehicle occupants. The more dynamic handling is the result of revisions to steering and suspension components that reduce understeer and provide a better sense of control. By using lighter and stronger materials, the body rigidity of the CR-V has been significantly improved. In addition, by reinforcing the B-pillars and C-pillars, the rigidity in the area of the body openings has been increased. Structural adhesives, already used in other recent Honda models such as the HR-V and Civic, are used for the first time in the CR-V, further optimizing overall rigidity. At the front, a new subframe made of die-cast aluminum is used, which saves over five kilograms in weight compared to its predecessor. The switch to die-cast aluminum not only saves weight, but also helps to maintain the rigidity of the suspension geometry and ensure a constant contact patch for the tires.
