The new 2008 Honda CR-V’s come in three model trims, including 2wd and 4wd. The new CR V has a 60/40 split fold-down rear seat which means you don’t have to compromise rear passenger comfort when carrying a passenger and extra long cargo. This creates a greater cargo capacity, both rear seats can be folded forward for hauling larger items. The new Honda CR-V comes with a Real Time 4 Wheel Drive system. When the traction of all four wheels are needed, such as on slippery roads, the system automatically engages the wheels for maximum tire grip. Real Time 4-Wheel Drive is a hydraulically actuated system that operates only when front-wheel slippage occurs.
Also unique with the new 2008 Honda CR-V is the Grade Logic Control automatically downshifts or upshifts when driving down or up a hill. It differs from other computer-controlled shift programming because it determines actual driving situations based on six different stored “shift maps,” and based on that data, selects appropriate shift points.
