Honda CR-V hits the showrooms

The new CR-V is now in Honda showrooms across the UK – with a competitive insurance rating that’s lower than anticipated.

We’ve already claimed that ‘Not all 4x4s are the same’ – highlighting the fact the new CR-V is smaller, cleaner and safer than other SUVs and many saloon cars on the road.

Now we can boast an insurance group rating across the entire CR-V range – it’s 12E whichever model you pick.

Just to refresh your memory, pricing for the new CR-V starts at £18,800 for the
2.0-litre i-VTEC SE.

But if you want to catch the outgoing CR-V – still the most popular SUV in the country with over 15,000 sold during 2006 – there’s currently £2,000 off every model in the range, an offer that lasts until the end of March.
