Finding the right minivan for your family can seem like an overwhelming task when there are so many important considerations to keep in mind. Fortunately, the Honda Odyssey can simplify the process by offering you an indisputable value within the minivan market. Read on to learn about the many reasons you should shop for a Honda Odyssey in Grand Forks the next time you need a new or used minivan. more Honda Odyssey Trim Levels Image via Flickr by hectorir CC BY 2.0 When shopping for a new or used minivan, the Honda Odyssey is a permanent fixture atop any list of the best options available. One thing that makes the Odyssey such an appealing choice is the diverse range of trims and configurations for you to pick from. This allows you to balance your needs and your budget to find a Honda Odyssey configuration that is just right for you. Here's what you need to know to differentiate your different Honda Odyssey trim choices and the appeal of each: Honda Odyssey LX: The LX trim is the basic configuration of the Honda Odyssey, but it comes with many fantastic features, both standard and optional, so there is still plenty to love. The multi-angle rearview camera and Honda Sensing safety features provide you with added security behind the wheel, while power front seats allow you to easily adjust your seating to be just right every time you get in your Honda Odyssey. Honda Odyssey EX: The EX trim is the next option in the Honda Odyssey line and comes with several safety upgrades to enhance the already excellent safety features of the LX. Most notably, blind-spot monitoring is standard on the Odyssey EX, helping you remain aware of other vehicles on the highway to avoid potentially dangerous situations. The EX also includes smart entry unlock and walk-away locking to provide you with added security and the Magic Slide system on the second-row seats to make it easy to get in and out of the passenger rows. Honda Odyssey EX-L: The EX-L trim expands on the convenience of the Odyssey EX, with features like the power tailgate that allows you to open and close your tailgate with a push of the button, making it easier to load and unload. Standard leather trim for the seating and an optional leather-wrapped wheel add a touch of class to the EX-L, while a power moonroof allows you to enjoy the beautiful sights and fresh air when you drive. Honda Odyssey Touring: As the name implies, the Touring trim is an outstanding option for any Odyssey you intend to take on long drives with passengers. The rear entertainment system includes a 10.2-inch screen capable of playing Blu-ray, DVDs, and CDs, as well as media connected to it through a USB or HDMI cable. It also makes it easier to monitor and communicate with children in the rear rows using the Cabin Watch and Cabin Talk features, while the Wi-Fi hot spot allows riders to browse without the need to use their data plan. Honda Odyssey Elite: The premium configuration, the Honda Odyssey Elite builds off of the amenities of the other trims while adding in unique features like the hands-free tailgate, which allows you to open and close your tailgate by passing your foot under a sensor, making it the ideal option for loading up the back. A premium 11-speaker sound system with a subwoofer takes entertainment to a new level, while rain sensing wipers and power-folding auto-dimming side mirrors make your Odyssey safer and easier to use. Key Features of the Honda Odyssey No matter which option you choose for your Honda Odyssey configuration, there is a lot to love about what the Odyssey can do for you. Some of the fantastic options available when you buy a new or used Honda Odyssey in Grand Forks include: Expansive seating: Every trim of the 2022 Honda Odyssey comes with seating for the whole family and more. Choose the bench seating for your middle row to furnish your vehicle with seating for up to eight, or choose the added comfort of captain's seating for your middle row, while still accommodating seven. Competitive fuel economy: When you're driving your family all over in your Honda Odyssey, you want to be sure that you're getting good gas mileage to help you save, and that is another area the Odyssey excels. With 19 miles per gallon of city driving and 28 miles per gallon on the highway, the Honda Odyssey outperforms many of its nearest rivals. Cargo capacity: Loading up your minivan is often about more than just filling up the seats, but filling up the cargo hold as well. As you load up school bags, hockey gear, and more, you'll be amazed how much you can fit in the back of your Honda Odyssey. Premium safety: Keeping yourself and your passengers safe is a top priority every time you get behind the wheel of your minivan, which is why the Honda Odyssey is designed with your safety in mind, including earning an IIHS Top Safety Pick rating. It offers a broad range of both standard and optional upgrades in its safety packages to provide you with maximum awareness and protection on the road. Technology features: Each trim of the Honda Odyssey also comes with a range of technological options and standard features that make your drives more enjoyable for yourself and your passengers. This allows you to get where you are going safely and to have fun along the way.

The Honda Real Time All-Wheel Drive (AWD) System uses innovative technology to enhance your Honda's traction, control, and performance. When the system detects a change in road conditions, it redirects torque to the rear axle to regain traction. Keeping you safe on changing road conditions, the Honda Real-Time AWD engages your car's rear differential when it senses a loss of traction virtually instantaneously. This takes a front-wheel-drive vehicle and diverts torque to the rear wheels, giving you increased traction and stability. Do you enjoy getting a bit of mud on your tires, exploring the road less traveled, or adding a bit of adventure to your road trip? Do you prioritize safety when looking for a new vehicle? Then the Honda Real Time AWD System was made for you! more What is All-Wheel Drive? If you've never had an All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) vehicle, then most likely, you're used to front-wheel-drive cars. This means the power and stability are confined to your front two wheels, limiting how your vehicle handles in variable road and weather conditions. In front-wheel-drive vehicles, the engine's power is restricted to the front of the car. If your daily commute is sunshine and smooth roads, chances are you haven't considered the importance of AWD. However, even the most excellent drives can change suddenly. Changing road conditions and rainy or snowy weather can turn your predictable commute into a more scary experience. AWD engages your rear tires to provide traction, stability, and security. Especially in areas like Grand Forks, where weather patterns can change, and winter can make roads slick, AWD is essential. While some AWD systems require a great deal of input from the driver, the Honda Real Time AWD System is intelligent, reactive, and uses computer software to read the roads for you. How Does the Honda Real Time AWD System Work? The Honda Real Time AWD System employs an innovative Intelligent Control System to judge when differential should be engaged on the rear tires to prevent loss of traction. Intending to reduce energy and fuel consumption, this smart system only engages when needed, typically when there's a change in road conditions or inclement weather. By engaging the rear tires, the AWD system spreads the engine's power equally on all four tires so that the rear tires can push you forward even if the front tires slip. To keep you safe, here are a few times that the Honda Real Time AWD System will be engaged. The AWD System will engage on take-off if you're on a slippery surface where traction is reduced. It disengages once the car reaches a cruising velocity, as it's no longer required. If you go uphill and the vehicle registers change in traction, it will engage the Real-Time AWD again. It's important to note that this system reacts almost instantaneously, and you may not even feel the change! Traditional AWD systems often experience a lag, and even a noticeable shift, before fully engaging. The Honda Real Time AWD System is a tremendous advancement in technology, which makes your journey smoother and safer. Is Honda Real Time AWD the Right Choice for Me? Honda Real-Time AWD turns your normally front-wheel-drive Honda into an all-wheel-drive vehicle, but only when it's needed. This means your car will run as a standard front-wheel-drive vehicle otherwise and provides you with that extra level of safety, security, and reliability that Honda is known for. So, who should consider the Honda Real Time AWD System? Living in Grand Forks, where weather patterns change regularly, such as rain, sleet, or snow, the Real-Time AWD System is essential. This is especially true as we approach winter and all the weather that comes with it. A lot of areas have rough road conditions during inclement weather, and it's essential to keep you and your family safe on the road. If you enjoy taking side roads, getting off the highway, and exploring, this is also an essential system for you. Even if you drive the same road every day, commuting to and from work, having an AWD System could be a lifesaver (literally!). Real-Time AWD gives you confidence when driving your vehicle, especially in winter conditions. Weather and road quality changes can happen quickly, so we highly recommend the Honda Real Time AWD System for anyone! Which Honda Models Can Be Equipped with Honda Real Time AWD? So you're thinking of getting a Honda with the Real-Time AWD System, but you don't know where to start. Families of the Grand Forks area would undoubtedly benefit from this innovative system's safety, security, and stability. See the list of Honda vehicles below that are compatible with the Honda Real Time AWD System (all are 2020 models). Speak to the friendly folk at Rydell Honda of Grand Forks to find out about other compatible models with Real-Time AWD. CR-V in all trims. HR-V in EX, EX-L, LX, and Sport trims (standard for Touring trims). Passport in EX-L, Sport, and Touring trims (standard for Elite trims). Pilot in EX, EX-L, LC, and Touring trims (standard for Elite and Black Edition trims). Ridgeline in Sport and RTL trims (standard for RTL-E and Black Edition trims). Are You Ready for a Honda with Real Time AWD? The Honda Real Time AWD System combines stability with high fuel efficiency to keep you and your family safe in changing weather and road conditions. This compact and light mechanism uses computer intelligence to determine how much power to send to the rear tires. AWD is not constantly engaged when it isn't needed. This will keep you from unnecessarily using extra fuel to move forward. This system is truly a game-changer for Grand Forks residents. Living in an area with variable weather conditions, especially in the winter months, makes having an AWD vehicle essential. The Honda Real Time AWD System allows you to have the safety of AWD when you need it while offering front-wheel drive and fuel economy when you don't.

At Rydell Honda of Grand Forks, we love the CR-V. It's just what so many of our buyers need: the right balance of comfort, utility, value, and fun. Since its debut in 1997, the Honda CR-V has only grown in quality and popularity. The compact SUV is now one of the most popular vehicle styles in the world. Honda has taken everything it knows about making desirable, reliable cars and made the perfect compact family ride. Through five generations, the CR-V has continued to evolve, adding technology and innovation at every redesign. Wondering what the future holds for this vehicle? Exciting things are rumored for 2022 and 2023. Honda engineers are working to make the best even better. A brand new CR-V model is on the horizon. We don't know a lot yet, but we can speculate on what changes might be in the works. What's good that we'd never change? What improvements would you want? What is your wild side saying? more Looking Back Image via Flickr by Janitors via CC BY 2.0 Sometimes the best way to predict the future is to look to the past CR-V specs and figures. What can we learn about previous model releases that might give us hints? The fifth generation brought a suite of modern safety features to the CR-V. We'll likely see an advanced version of the Honda Sensing system available on the new Accord. It features smarter-than-ever collision mitigation, road departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control, and even traffic sign recognition. The next CR-V will be a safer place than ever for your family. In 2015, we saw the continuously variable transmission (CVT) come to the CR-V. The system was borrowed from the ninth-generation Accord. While CVTs in general have been frowned upon by many auto enthusiasts, many critics consider Honda's to be the best around. A well-built CVT delivers seamless power from stop to freeway. It never shifts; it's always in the power band. Will the 2022-23 CR-V see another transmission innovation? The third-generation CR-V, launched in 2006, was the first to see USB ports and Bluetooth. We can expect that plus Android Auto and Apple CarPlay in the upcoming model, but how can the sixth generation do something special with infotainment? Maybe it can expand on some of the family features from the Odyssey? Wireless charging, at least in the front, seems like a guarantee. Spy Shots What's more exciting than a prototype with the badges covered by camouflage? Test drivers try to be sneaky, but automotive spies are always on the lookout. So what have sneak peaks of the new CR-V revealed? Early reports show the new version is larger than before. It's longer overall with a stretched hood and rear overhang, looking a bit lower and sleeker to the eye. The extra space may accommodate an optional third row. It certainly will allow more passenger and cargo space. The trapezoidal grille is more prominent on the newest model. The rear lights are now horizontal rather than vertical, creating a less boxy look. Considering the Accord and Civic were recently redesigned, the new CR-V will likely borrow much from both. It will likely share a platform with the Honda Civic, which is excellent. No doubt the CR-V will be springier as a result. Spy shots also show lots of Accord styling on the front end and the dash. The infotainment screen shares a similar design, so Honda will probably keep it for the SUV, too. Possible Engines for the 2022 CR-V AS it turns out, 2020 may have already told us what we need to know about what will be under the hood of the next generation CR-V. Last year Honda dropped its 2.4-liter engine in favor of a 1.5-liter turbo-charged inline four-cylinder engine that delivers 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque. Not missing the extra displacement, critics were impressed by the power, lack of lag, and fuel efficiency. That same year, Honda debuted a hybrid CR-V that combines an electric motor with a 2.0-liter Atkinson cycle turbo four-cylinder to provide 212 horsepower and 232 pound-feet of torque combined. It's very likely that both the 1.5-liter and the hybrid will continue into 2022. We'd love to see the next generation CR-V get the Civic Type R treatment. Think about wringing 306 horsepower out of a 2.0-liter engine? Imagine lowering the CR-V a bit and borrowing the Type R's four-wheel independent suspension. Why not blow open the CR-V's practical reputation? Life is too short to not have a CR-V Type R. What Do the People Want? Whatever the year or car, many people have the same desires. They want power without sacrificing fuel economy. The 1.5-liter and hybrid are both good choices already, but they can be improved. A larger battery and electric motor on the hybrid would take more pressure off the gas side, further improving fuel efficiency. Yet people always want to be able to zoom, providing a desire for Honda's racing blood in every vehicle. The CR-V has always been the conservative kid. Maybe it's time for a fun version. Many families want three rows, and Honda seems ready to deliver. It launched a three-row version at the Geneva Auto Show in 2018. On a new stretched frame, seating six to seven in a CR-V would be easy, and it would be a great seller. A panoramic moon roof would be a lovely option, and a more robust climate control system is likely in the works. At Rydell Honda of Grand Forks, we've been selling new and used vehicles of all makes for nearly 70 years. Buyers from both sides of the North Dakota/Minnesota border trust us to navigate the ever-shifting world of new cars. Year after year, Honda has delivered machines big and small that love to do their jobs without stopping. The CR-V is one of our favorites because it fits the lives of active people and families so well. And the CR-V keeps getting better. New, used, or future, Rydell has the right CR-V configuration for you. Contact us for any questions, and stay tuned for more news about the latest Honda models. We'll make sure you're the first to know.

The Honda Pilot has consistently been one of the most formidable entries in the mid-size SUV segment. Its supple handling, roomy cabin, large cargo space, and generous standard safety features make it a hugely popular option among family vehicle buyers. Besides being an excellent everyday family hauler, this SUV is also a great choice for families who enjoy outdoor adventures, thanks to its high tow and payload ratings. Let's take a detailed look at the towing and hauling capabilities of the 2021 Honda Pilot. more How Much Can the 2021 Honda Pilot Tow? Image via Flickr by suendercafe via CC BY-SA 2.0 The towing capacity of the 2021 Honda Pilot may vary depending on which trim level and drivetrain you choose. This SUV is available in seven trim levels, including the base LX, EX, EX-L, Special Edition, Touring, Elite, and the range-topping Black Edition. The five lower trims of the Pilot, from the LX to the Touring, come standard with front-wheel drive, which enables them to tow up to 3,500 pounds. However, if they're equipped with the available all-wheel drive, they can deliver an impressive tow rating of 5,000 pounds. The Elite and Black Edition are only available with all-wheel drive, meaning they can pull up to 5,000 pounds with their standard drivetrain. How Much Can the 2021 Honda Pilot Haul? Along with strong towing capability, the 2021 Honda Pilot also has a solid payload rating of 1,625 pounds. With its great hauling capacity and generous cargo room, it's able to carry a lot of stuff, including bulky and heavy objects. This Honda SUV offers 18.5 cubic feet of storage space with the rearmost seats upright, 55.9 cubic feet with those seats folded, and 109.2 cubic feet with both the second-row and rearmost seats folded. These numbers are above average in the mid-size SUV segment. Why Does the Honda Pilot Have Such a High Towing Capacity? One of the main reasons why the 2021 Honda Pilot has a higher tow rating than many of its competitors is because of its potent powertrain. Under the hood of this Honda SUV, you'll find a punchy 3.5-liter V-6 engine that generates 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. Mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission, this engine provides smooth and quick acceleration, propelling the Pilot to 60 mph from a standstill in just six seconds. It's also brawny enough to handle strenuous driving tasks such as climbing up steep slopes and towing or hauling heavy loads. Another feature of the Honda Pilot that plays a vital role in its towing capacity is its advanced all-wheel-drive system. This system comes with a new technology called Intelligent Variable Torque Management, which allows it to deliver the right amount of torque to each axle. Additionally, it's able to monitor the level of traction for each wheel and redistribute power to improve road grip and stability on slippery roads or adverse terrain. With all four wheels sharing the work and enhanced traction, an all-wheel-drive Pilot delivers a significantly higher tow rating than a front-wheel-drive model. What Can the 2021 Honda Pilot Tow and Haul? Image via Flickr by suendercafe via CC BY-SA 2.0 If you're planning to use your 2021 Honda Pilot for towing on a regular basis, it's recommended that you get the available tow package. This package consists of a trailer hitch receiver, trailer hitch locking pin, trailer hitch harness with a seven-pin connector, and a trailer hitch ball. When it's equipped with these towing features, the SUV is able to tow large and heavy objects effectively and safely in almost any situation. Your load will remain securely attached to the vehicle even when you're driving at a high speed, making a sharp turn, or negotiating rough terrain. Now that you know a front-wheel-drive Honda Pilot has a tow rating of 3,500 pounds, you may be wondering what types of objects you can tow. With this towing capacity, you'll be able to transport a couple of dirt bikes or ATVs, a pair of jet skis, a lightweight boat, or a pop-up camper. If you're planning to tow a heavy object such as a larger boat, a mid-size camping trailer, or another vehicle on a flat-bed trailer, you should opt for an all-wheel-drive model. Besides having plenty of pulling power at your disposal, you can also store a lot of cargo inside the Honda Pilot. Behind the third-row seats, there's enough space for six carry-on bags, a pair of large golf bags, or a stroller. If you fold down the second- and third-row seats, you'll be able to store more than three dozen carry-on bags or even a pile of 4x8 plywood sheets. In addition, this SUV has many other practical storage solutions, including a hidden storage well, a large storage bin in the center console, a lockable glove compartment, and 15 cup-holders. Does the Honda Pilot Have Any Features to Ensure Safe Towing? Towing a heavy load can compromise the handling and stability of your SUV, especially when you're negotiating sharp corners or winding roads, cruising at highway speeds, or driving in a hilly area. This can cause you to lose control of your vehicle and increase your risk of accidents. Also, you may endanger the lives of the motorists and pedestrians around you if the object you're towing comes loose from the hitch. Fortunately, the 2021 Honda Pilot is equipped with a multi-angle rearview camera that enables you to keep an eye on your trailer while you're driving. The camera also makes parking easier and safer. Additionally, the Pilot comes with hill start assist to keep you safe when you're driving on a hill. When you're starting your vehicle on an incline, this system automatically applies the brakes for a few seconds as you move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator. By doing so, it prevents the SUV from rolling back, which can sometimes happen when you're towing a heavy object. If you want to know whether the 2021 Honda Pilot is right for you, consider dropping by Rydell Honda of Grand Forks for a test drive. Contact us today to arrange an appointment.

It's time to introduce you to the 2022 Honda Civic, marking the first year of the popular model's 11th generation. Honda released the sedan on April 28, 2021 and the sporty Civic Hatchback on June 23. In 2021, the sedan featured all-new styling inside and out, which will be carried into the new 2022 model, as well as some exciting upgrades to the technology suite. The newly redesigned Civic will elevate your commute into Grand Forks along Interstate 29 or Route 2. Let's take a closer look at how Honda's 2022 Civic stands out against the competitive compact car segment. more Exterior Style Image via Honda Auto News Honda began the redesign of the Civic sedan with a lower, wider frame and increased glass areas. Drivers get a more athletic posture with an improved field of vision. LED headlights come standard on every trim level, including a new dual-low-beam construct that will pierce through the Red River fog. The Civic comes in four trim levels to fit various needs and budgets. Each trim offers exclusive wheel designs, like the Sport trim's 18-inch Gloss Black wheels or the Civic Touring trim's 18-inch Gloss Black with Shark Gray inserts. The elongated hood rises to the windshield, where the roofline arcs over the cabin to slope rearward in the classic fastback design. The Civic's available Honda Performance Package adds a Gloss Black rear deck-lid spoiler, emblem, and underbody spoilers to the chiseled side body design to enhance its athletic profile. The rear fascia includes a chrome exhaust finisher and the latest LED taillight technology that creates a dramatic effect. It reminds you of the jets taking off at the Grand Forks Air Force Base as you watch the Civic sedan speed away. Honda has provided limited details for the 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback before its release date, but according to teaser photos of prototypes, the upright fast-hatch design appears to resemble the fastback design of its sedan counterpart. While it still features that fifth door, the fastback design might result in a smaller cargo area. We'll have to wait and see. Interior Comfort and Convenience Slipping into the cockpit of the Civic Sedan, you enjoy the comfort of ergonomically designed seats. All your controls were intuitively placed for ease of use. You get leather upholstery standard on the Touring trim and access to leather through upgrades on the lower models. The eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat features a lower cushion that tilts up and down for additional comfort. Heated seats come standard with three heat settings to personalize your comfort. The one-touch power moonroof lets you open up the cabin to all the light and air. When the moonroof remains closed, the dual-zone climate control system delivers the same personalized comfort. The rear seat split/folds in a 60/40 fashion for multiple cargo and seating options. Now Honda offers signature accessories to outfit your Civic's interior. You can add high-walled floor mats, a trunk tray with adjustable dividers, rear window visors, and more. Technology An available 12-speaker premium system from Bose features Centerpoint surround sound technology for an immersive audio experience. All your in-vehicle technology flows through the infotainment's interactive display. In addition, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability allow you to connect your smartphones seamlessly. Now you can make calls, send texts, access your favorite apps, and more hands-free as you head out to the Kellys Slough National Wildlife Refuge for an afternoon hike. Downloading the HondaLink app gives you remote functionality. You can find your vehicle, remotely start it, lock or unlock it, and set the climate control system from anywhere. The app lets you schedule service at Rydell Honda of Grand Forks, too. A front USB port comes standard on every model. With an additional three ports available, everyone's smart devices can remain connected and charged. In addition, you can stream your favorite playlists on your road trip to Spirit Lake. Driver Assist Systems Every 2022 Honda Civic model comes standard with Honda Sensing, a suite of driver-assist systems designed to help you drive safer on the roads around Grand Forks. The suite includes Collision Mitigation Braking System, which scans the road ahead for potential obstacles. When the Collision Mitigation Braking System detects a possible collision, you receive an alert to help you react. Should you fail to respond in time, the system provides emergency brake support to help mitigate or avoid an accident. You also get a Road Departure Mitigation system. The Road Departure Mitigation system tracks your Civic when traveling within marked lanes. When the system detects an unintentional drift out of your lane without signaling, it alerts you before using gentle steering correction to return you to your lane. The Road Departure Mitigation system's steering correction can help prevent you from leaving the road entirely. The Lane Keeping Assist System uses similar technology to help keep you centered within your lane through subtle steering adjustments. An Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow system uses advanced radar and cameras to keep you at a preset speed and distance while driving in traffic. As the car ahead slows, the Adaptive Cruise Control automatically slows your Civic down, even to a complete stop. When the way ahead clears, the system will return your Civic to your preset speed and following distance. The Adaptive Cruise Control helps reduce driver fatigue and improves efficiency on long trips. Honda's Traffic Sign Recognition system identifies common traffic signs and communicates them to your Civic's driver information interface. Traffic Sign Recognition uses forward-mounted cameras to capture the information so you'll never miss another traffic sign. A Blind Spot Information system comes standard on the EX and Touring trims. The Blind Spot Information system alerts you when vehicles enter your Civic's blind spots, helping you change lanes with confidence. The Touring trim adds a Cross Traffic Monitor system that alerts you when a vehicle approaches from either side while backing up in your Civic. At Rydell Honda of Grand Forks, we know what sedan drivers want. That's why we plan on stocking an expansive inventory of the all-new 2022 Honda Civic. We invite you to browse our inventory online or contact us with any questions. You can stop by for a more personal experience at any time. One of our friendly, knowledgeable staff members will show you all the new features of the 2022 Honda Civic to help you find the perfect model.

The 2021 Honda Pilot stands out from the crowd when it comes to cargo space and features seating for up to eight. When combined with the exciting lineup of standard and package features for each trim level and its eye-catching exterior, the Pilot is a game-changer in its class. If you're shopping for a reliable midsize SUV designed for the modern family, you'll want to consider this Honda option. Let's take a look at the interior passenger and cargo dimensions of the Pilot, as well as its exterior dimensions. more Image via Honda Great Passenger Space Not every midsize SUV can boast that three adults can sit comfortably in the third-row seat. The 2021 Pilot has been designed for everyone, from those still in car seats or booster seats to teenagers and adults. It's an SUV that can grow with your family, featuring up to four LATCH connector seats, depending on which second-row seating you have. With the standard second-row bench seat, the Honda Pilot can seat eight. If you opt for the second-row Captain's Chairs, seating is reduced to seven. All passengers stay comfortable with the tri-zone automatic climate control that comes standard on all trims. Front-Row Passenger Space Dimensions As you'd expect, the front-row seating has the most amount of space, making it comfortable and roomy. The driver and front passenger can enjoy quite a bit of foot room to stretch out on long drives in addition to the space dimensions listed below. It's not only about space, however. Honda's attention to detail in the dash and other features makes driving the family-friendly Pilot fun and ideal for parents of any age or anyone looking to bring both people and cargo along on their drives. Specifications Headroom: 40.1 inches. Legroom: 40.9 inches. Shoulder Room: 62 inches. Hip Room: 59.1 inches. Second-Row Passenger Space Dimensions More frequently used than the third-row bench seat, the second-row seating area is quite large, rivaling that of the first-row space. Compare these measurements with the ones above, and you'll see what we mean. The second-row space can seat three with the standard bench seat. The bench seat also provides three LATCH connections for car seats or booster seats, so if you're transporting young ones, this standard option may be the best one for you. Captain's Chairs come standard with Elite and Black Edition trim levels and are an option on the Touring model. Captain's Chairs offer seating for only two in this area but provide much more space for those seated here. They also open up additional storage space between the seats. Specifications Headroom: 40.2 inches. Legroom: 38.4 inches. Shoulder Room: 62 inches. Hip Room: 57.3 inches. Third-Row Passenger Space Dimensions Even though space gets a little smaller when you get to the third-row seating area, it still provides ample room to seat three adults, or perhaps three teenagers and their gear. One of the LATCH connectors is located in the third row on the passenger side, providing even more seating options for large families. In addition to comfortable seating, the 2021 Honda Pilot offers an optional rear entertainment system, so those in the back don't get bored. Specifications Headroom: 38.9 inches. Legroom: 31.9 inches. Shoulder Room: 57.6 inches. Hip Room: 44.6 inches. A Carload of Cargo While the passenger space is impressive, the Pilot is the pack leader when it comes to its cargo area space by volume. It features one of the largest cargo areas than nearly all of the other midsize SUVs in its class. Accessing the rear cargo area is easy with a hands-free liftgate, which is standard on all Special Edition, Touring, Elite, and Black Edition trim levels. A power liftgate comes standard on the EX-L and is available as an option on lower trims. A handy storage compartment under the cargo floor maximizes the use of space behind the third-row seats. The cargo area also features tie-down anchors and hooks for bags and garments so you can keep your items stowed securely and safely. The amount of cargo space available is dependent mainly on the seat configuration you're using so you can leverage the available space for both cargo and passengers. Additional storage spaces are strategically located throughout the cabin and include seatback pockets, a holder for your sunglasses, and a lockable glovebox, and for those that need it, the PIlot can tow larger cargo. Behind Third-Row Seats Seats Up: 16.5 cubic feet. Seats Down: 18.5 cubic feet. Behind Second-Row Seats Seats Up: 46.8 cubic feet. Seats Down: 55.9 cubic feet. Behind First-Row Seats Seats Up: 83.9 cubic feet. Seats Down: 109 cubic feet. Honda Pilot Exterior Dimensions The Honda Pilot is a true midsize SUV in terms of exterior dimensions, although you wouldn't believe it based on those passenger and cargo space measurements. This makes the Pilot an excellent choice for those who need room for both people and cargo but prefer a midsize SUV scale over something larger.

The Honda CR-V can tow a small boat or other watercraft, like a Jet Ski. With a towing capacity of up to 1,500 pounds, this compact SUV is ideal if you and your family want to take your small boat for a day out to the lake or a weekend trip away. Here's a rundown of the most important towing and payload features of the new Honda CR-V. more Honda CR-V Towing Capacity Image via Flickr by RL GNZLZ To get the most out of the towing capabilities of the CR-V, you'll need to upgrade to its towing package. This includes a number of helpful features that boost the towing limit of the CR-V to 1,500 pounds, such as a trailer hitch harness, a draw bar, trailer hitch ball, and a clip. If you're planning on taking your boat out to one of the many lakes near Grand Forks, you'll want to be sure that your CR-V can tow it safely on the road. That's where several safety and driver assistance features come in handy. Honda's towing package includes hill start assist, which will help prevent your vehicle from sliding when you start on a hill. It also has braking assist to help you bring your SUV to a rapid stop in an emergency with the extra weight of your boat at the rear. When you're trying to calculate whether your CR-V will manage to tow your boat, remember to include all accessories and additional equipment in your calculations. For example, if your boat and trailer weigh a combined 1,000 pounds and you have 200 pounds of equipment in your boat, you'll be well within the towing capacity. Remember that trying to tow more weight than your CR-V's capacity is risky, since you can diminish your vehicle's performance and put other motorists at risk. If you're looking for something capable of hauling heavier loads, we have other vehicles in Honda's 2021 lineup to meet your needs, such as the Honda Pilot or Honda Ridgeline mid-sized truck. 2021 CR-V Engine Power and Performance All of the CR-V's trims are equipped with a 1.5-liter V-4 engine that's good for 181 horsepower and a continuously variable transmission. You can improve this powertrain for towing by opting for all-wheel drive, which will help to balance the torque throughout your CR-V to provide more stability while you tow. Honda's Intelligent Control System shifts torque to each of your four wheels depending on the road conditions and what you're towing. The CR-V's all-wheel drive model is supported by Honda's Vehicle Stability Assist setting, which helps keep your vehicle from slipping when the road gets wet. The VSA also improves handling when you're going around corners, which will give you peace of mind when you're towing a heavy load. You'll be happy to learn that the CR-V combines good gas mileage with its towing capabilities, which help make this SUV so versatile. For example, if you want a fuel-efficient car for your daily commute that is also capable of carrying a little extra on the weekend or when you go on vacation, the CR-V ticks these boxes. With all-wheel drive, the 2021 CR-V still manages 27 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway, which are impressive numbers for an SUV with a turbocharged engine. You can gain even more gas mileage in the front-wheel drive setup, which manages 28 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway. Just bear in mind that this would reduce your CR-V's towing capacity below the 1,500-pound limit. Payload and Cargo Storage For a compact SUV, the CR-V has one of the largest cargo spaces. This is sure to come in useful if you plan on transporting equipment for your boat, such as fishing gear. Behind the second row of seats, you'll find 39.2 cubic feet of storage. If you fold down the second row, you'll have 75.8 cubic feet of space. The CR-V is ideal for loading heavy items, since its low height makes it easier to lift them into the cargo hold. The CR-V can manage up to 1,106 pounds of cargo in its hold. This should be more than enough for you to take a picnic and other items for a day out at the lake, or your family's luggage for a weekend trip. CR-V Trims and Towing The CR-V is available in four trims for 2021: LX, Ex, EX-L, and Touring. All-wheel drive is available with every trim for an additional $1,500, so you can take advantage of this SUV's towing abilities whatever level of comfort you choose to have inside. The two top trims, EX-L and Touring, may be preferable for you if you plan on lugging heavy loads in addition to towing your boat. The EX-L features a power liftgate to make loading up your SUV a breeze. The Touring adds a hands-free liftgate for even more convenience. The other main differences between the trims relate to interior comfort and technology. For example, the base LX trim features Bluetooth connectivity, a four-speaker stereo, and a dual-zone climate control. Step up to the EX and you'll get a 7-inch infotainment screen, satellite radio, and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, which will allow you and your passengers to stay connected on your way to the lake. The EX-L trim swaps out cloth upholstery for leather seat coverings for a touch more luxury in the cabin. You can also benefit from memory settings in the driver's seat and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The top Touring trim adds wireless device charging, which will prove popular if you and your passengers want to keep your devices charged while you're on the go.

Driver-Assist Systems Your infotainment center acts as the reporting hub for all of your Honda Sensing driver-assist systems.

Systems include adaptive cruise control with a low-speed follow that keeps your Accord at a preset speed and distance in traffic. A forward-collision warning system scans the road ahead, alerting you to potential hazards. Should you fail to react, the Collision Mitigation Braking System will intervene with emergency brake support to reduce a possible impact.

Every trim has the option of Honda's Real-Time all-wheel-drive system. All-wheel-drive comes standard on the hybrid powertrain. The Real-Time AWD system uses sensors to determine when to send power to the rear wheels. Honda tested the CR-V's ability to tackle challenging terrain in the Mojave Desert. The CR-V uses a multi-link rear suspension with a rear stabilizer bar and a MacPherson strut front suspension and front stabilizer bar. These systems help reduce body roll for tight cornering and deliver a smooth ride. CR-V Drive Modes Multiple drive modes let you dial in your throttle, suspension, and steering to match the road conditions. The Sport mode offers the most thrilling driving experience. ECON mode helps you drive more efficiently. The hybrid powertrain offers an EV mode for all-electric power. Every CR-V comes with Honda's Eco Assist.

Active Noise Cancellation technology uses cabin sealing and acoustic-laminated glass to block unwanted engine and road noise. Exterior Style This crossover's modern styling comes through in the bold front fascia's gloss black grille framed by LED headlights. Standard LED fog lights are set low and wide for optimal effect. Bulging fenders highlight the wide stance. The CR-V's sculpted side-body and available 19-inch machine-finished alloy wheels with gray inserts give the CR-V an athletic profile. Roof rails with available crossbars let you carry bikes, skis, roof boxes, and more. Stylish smoked-out LED taillights and unique style make the bodywork even more impressive. A rear spoiler mounted high on the tailgate features an integrated brake light. The dual chrome exhaust tips complete the bold rear fascia. Every trim but the LX gets the one-touch power moonroof. The moonroof opens fully for maximum airflow or tilts for less air. CR-V Accessories Accessorizing your CR-V with Honda Genuine Accessories goes beyond roof rails with crossbars. You can add running boards, cargo nets, floor mats, cargo mats, protective seat covers, and more. Trim Levels You get to choose between the LX, EX, EX-L, and Touring trims.

If you're in the market for a new compact crossover SUV, the 2021 Honda CR-V should be one of the first vehicles you consider. This crossover has an SUV body built onto the platform of a Honda Civic, which is one of the Japanese manufacturer's most famous compact cars. Find out about its on-board technology and safety features, power and performance, and available trims. more Shop 2021 CR-V Shop Honda Deals Trim Levels Image via Flickr by Stradablog The 2021 Honda CR-V comes in four trim levels: the LX, EX, EX-L, and Touring. The base LX trim comes with LED daytime running lights, 17-inch alloy wheels, and power side mirrors. Opting for the EX trim instead of the LX gets you dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, a 12-way power-adjustable driver's seat, rear privacy glass, and LED fog lights. The benefits of privacy glass include filtering out sunlight and a slight improvement in vehicle security as a result of outsiders not being able to see any potentially valuable items left in the cargo area. The EX-L trim provides more luxurious leather upholstery, which is an upgrade from the cloth upholstery found in the LX and EX trims. Other exterior and interior features you'll find on the EX-L trim include a two-position memory driver's seat, a power tailgate, and an automatic dimming rearview mirror. The Touring trim rounds things off with larger 19-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, a heated steering wheel, dual chrome exhaust finishers, and interior ambient lighting. Power and Performance A turbocharged four-cylinder 1.5-liter engine comes standard on all CR-V models. The power ratings for this turbocharged engine are 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque. The engine uses direct injection technology, which means the CR-V engine's computer has precise control over the amount of fuel during the intake stroke. In layperson's terms, the direct injection technology enables better fuel efficiency and improves the driving experience. You can expect to get 28 mpg on city roads and 34 mpg on the highway for a combined EPA-estimated 30 mpg. All trim levels have their engines paired with a continuously variable-speed automatic transmission. Honda's real-time all-wheel-drive system uses an array of sensors to precisely calculate how much torque to send to the wheels during different driving conditions. Honda's attention to detail in focusing attention on one really good engine-powertrain combination and doing it well pays dividends in several ways. Rapid acceleration, impressive handling, and excellent fuel economy combine to make the 2021 Honda CR-V a stellar choice if power and performance are important considerations. Safety Suite The Advanced Compatibility Engineering structure on all CR-V models is a Honda-exclusive design that uses a network of front frame structures to absorb and deflect the energy from a frontal collision, which improves safety for all occupants. Moving on to specific safety features, all trim levels come with Honda Sensing, which is a suite of safety and driver-assistance technologies. Getting into the details of Honda Sensing reveals a truly impressive range of standard safety features that provide even more value for your money. In fact, Honda's slogan for the Sensing suite is that you get advanced safety features standard. It's rare to get this level of safety with a base level trim from any manufacturer. Honda Sensing includes features such as a collision mitigation braking system, adaptive cruise control, and a road departure mitigation system. The collision mitigation braking system brings your vehicle to a stop automatically when it detects an inevitable forward collision. Another slick feature to note is the seamless low-speed follow system, which automatically maintains or decelerates your vehicle speed to keep your vehicle at a safe following distance from the car ahead. Technology You've already probably noted Honda's impressive technological focus in terms of standard safety features; however, the CR-V's impressive technology stack does not end there. On the EX trim level and above, you get a 7-inch color touch screen with Display Audio. The benefit of Display Audio is that from a single screen, you get a gateway to the CR-V's main audio systems while simultaneously being able to access important smartphone features. To access smartphone features from the touch screen, you can use the included Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionalities. You can choose to connect your smartphone using the USB slot, or you can connect via Bluetooth. The smartphone features you can access include music and messaging. The system also works with voice command technology, such as Siri or Google, for hands-free infotainment. With the HondaLink smartphone app, you can get reminders about service appointments at your local Honda dealership. The vehicle's touch screen works similarly to a mobile phone in how it lets you touch, pinch, and swipe your way through the navigation. Choosing higher trims ramps up the technology features to the next level. For example, with the EX-L trim, your audio system improves to a 180-watt audio system with eight speakers positioned intelligently throughout the interior for optimum acoustics. The 2021 Honda CR-V Touring trim goes even more high-tech with the audio system by giving you a 330-watt premium stereo with nine speakers. Some additional technology features on the Touring trim worth knowing about include a Honda Satellite-Linked navigation system and a wireless phone charger. The wireless charger works with phones that have Qi charging standards, so check your smartphone manufacturer's specifications to see if your phone is compatible. The navigation system uses GPS technology and an impressive database to find new destinations, get turn-by-turn directions, and even show you the way back home with a simple voice command.
