Named the best compact SUV by U.S. News and World Report, the 2021 Honda CR-V is about as close as you'll get to the total package. As the best-selling Honda SUV, the CR-V is compact in name only as it boasts an impressive cargo hold and expansive interior. Available in four trims (LX, EX, EX-L, and Touring), the CR-V is the perfect vehicle for family road trips and adventures. Use this guide to learn more about the CR-V's dimensions and how you can maximize the space for passengers and cargo. more Shop 2021 CR-V Shop Honda Deals Exterior Dimensions Since its inception more than two decades ago, the CR-V has experienced a few updates. For that model year, the SUV underwent an exterior facelift, increasing the vehicle's length. It now has a size similar to that of the Toyota RAV4. The 2021 CR-V models keep the same numbers as the outgoing model: Front-wheel drive wheelbase: 104.8 inches. All-wheel drive wheelbase: 104.7 inches. Length: 182.1 inches. Front-wheel drive height: 66.1 inches. All-wheel drive height: 66.5 inches. Max width: 73.0 inches. Front width: 63.0 inches. Rear width: 63.7 inches. All CR-V trims come standard with front-wheel drive, but you can select all-wheel drive on all vehicles if you need extra power. As you can see, the numbers are similar between the two. Also, this SUV boasts a curb weight of 3,337 pounds for front-wheel drive and 3,455 pounds for all-wheel drive models. These numbers make the CR-V one of the lightest in its class, allowing you to save money on gas and achieve better fuel economy. The CR-V has 7.8 inches of ground clearance for front-wheel drive vehicles, while all-wheel drive models have 8.2 inches. This gives the SUV an advantage over sedans as it can traverse through tough everyday obstacles and inclement weather. Exterior Features Image via Pixabay by Designbymickey After its refresher last year, the CR-V is slightly more muscular due to the absence of a sloping rear roofline. It has less chrome than in the past, almost having a more reserved appearance. It has an updated front end, enhanced by a new bumper and blackout grille. Its long and wide stance also includes aggressive wheel designs. The SUV now has larger openings for the fog lights. The three upper trims receive new round LED fog lights as well as a power moonroof and rear privacy glass. Multi-reflector halogen headlights come standard, while the Touring gets LED headlights. When it comes to wheels, the base trim has 17-inch alloy ones, while the two middle trims come with 18-inch wheels. If you want the largest wheels available, go with the Touring as it has 19-inch machine-finished ones. Interior Dimensions Perfect for family adventures, the 2021 Honda CR-V has a spacious and comfortable cabin with 105.9 cubic feet of passenger space in the LX trim. The dimensions for the LX trim are as follows: Front headroom: 40.1 inches. Front legroom: 41.3 inches. Rear headroom: 39.2 inches. Rear legroom: 40.4 inches. Front hip room: 55.1 inches. Rear hip room: 49.5 inches. Front shoulder room: 57.9 inches. Rear shoulder room: 55.6 inches. The other three trims provide 102.9 cubic feet of space, which breaks down as follows: Front headroom: 38.0 inches. Front l egroom: 41.3 inches. Rear headroom: 39.1 inches. Rear legroom: 40.4 inches. Front hip room: 55.1 inches. Rear hip room: 49.5 inches. Front shoulder room: 57.9 inches. Rear shoulder room: 55.6 inches. This makes for a stylish and spacious interior, especially when you include quality materials and a familiar layout. Seating Honda finds ways to stretch interior space further than most, allowing you to ride comfortably within the CR-V. No matter what trim level you choose, five people can sit easily across two rows of seats. Its two front seats give you plenty of support, which comes in handy during long road trips. The second row boasts more than 40 inches of legroom, so even taller travelers can stretch their legs. If you're bringing along younger children, there are LATCH points in all three seating positions. High-quality materials found within the classy cabin accent the vehicle's sharp design. Standard features include durable cloth upholstery, automatic climate control, and a six-way manually adjustable driver's seat, but there are numerous upgrades available. The EX trim adds dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and a 12-way power-adjustable driver's seat with four-way power-lumbar support. For additional luxury, select the EX-L trim, which includes leather upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, and driver's seat memory settings. The top-of-the-line Touring trim has a heated steering wheel. Cargo Space The CR-V leads its class in cargo volume and luggage space, which is impressive since the previous generation was already one of the most spacious in its class. Behind the second row of seats, you get almost 40 cubic feet of storage space. With the simple pull of a lever, you can easily fold down the 60/40 split-folding rear seats to give you 75.8 cubic feet of space. That volume is typically what you would find in a midsize SUV such as the Pilot. This rear cargo area has a two-tier setup, which allows the floor to remain flat or be set lower to keep items secure. Another option is to use the hidden storage bin underneath the carpeted floor to store more items. All trims have numerous storage bins scattered throughout the cabin to store smaller items. You can also use the large door pockets and a deep center console. The three upper trims include a seatback pocket on the passenger side. The SUV also includes a low leftover height, which makes it easier for you to load heavier items into it.

When you want to unplug from technology and reconnect with the natural world, the area surrounding Northwood, North Dakota, is an extraordinary fishing destination. Explore these five fishing spots you can access in the Northwood, Grand Forks, and Goose River regions, and learn more about the types of fish you can catch, with this guide from Rydell Honda of Grand Forks. more 1. Devils Lake Image via Unsplash by jacobsoup Devils Lake, North Dakota, is an attractive destination any fishing enthusiast can appreciate. At more than 180,000 acres, Devils Lake can seem intimidating, but don't let its immense size overwhelm you. Regardless of how much familiarity you have with the lake, you can find a fishing spot to suit your interests. Ice fishing, in particular, is a popular wintertime pursuit on Devils Lake. According to the North Dakota Tourism Division, Devils Lake adds ice early and sheds its ice late. In general, ice on the lake is safe enough to support ice fishing from mid-December to late March. It's not unusual to experience about 60 inches in a good season. Devils Lake supports an abundant population of pike, walleye, and trophy-size perch. The perch are so plentiful and hefty for their size in Devils Lake that the body of water carries the reputation of being the perch capital of the world. Writing for the North Dakota Tourism Division, angler Mike Jensen said, "One thing you notice after you've gotten a few fish on Devils Lake is how healthy and fat the fish are. Large populations of freshwater shrimp accelerate the growth of perch and provide trickle-down forage for larger game fish." On occasion, Jensen noted, anglers can also score some white bass. During the spring, the month of May on Devils Lake means that the pike and walleye are biting. It's time to grab your gear and head out on the lake.

Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park Image via Unsplash by bradydrogers Established in 1907, Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park is the oldest state park in North Dakota. The hills surrounding the park support a scenic trail system that treats visitors to unforgettable views of the Heart and Missouri river bottoms. These rivers give anglers access to shorelines where they can pursue the fish they wish. Catfish, northern pike, and walleye are among the fish species one can find in the Heart and Missouri rivers. Since the park, conveniently located close to Bismarck and Mandan, is open to visitors throughout the year, don't overlook this setting during the winter months. The state park is a popular setting for ice fishing. Anglers will also appreciate the convenience of an on-site fish-cleaning station.

Goose River Image via Unsplash by hbrumels Located approximately 10.4 miles from Hillsboro in Traill County, the Goose River is an attractive North Dakota fishing destination for anglers looking for places to drop their lines. This 179-mile tributary of the Red River of the North is part of the Hudson Bay watershed region, which includes the Red River, Lake Winnipeg, and the Nelson River. Channel catfish, northern pike, and walleye are among some of the fish species abundant in the Goose River. Catfish can grow to extraordinary sizes that are the envy of any angler's eye. In 2016, a Hillsboro father and son fishing duo caught a 33-inch catfish while fishing the Goose River. Location: Between Route 200 and U.S. Interstate 29 4. Lake Tobiason Located in Steele County, Lake Tobiason also makes an appealing destination for avid anglers. Lake Tobiason is an approximately 18-mile drive northwest of Mayville and slightly south of Northwood. At 53 acres in size and 14 feet at its deepest point, Lake Tobiason offers access to various fish species, including bluegill, largemouth bass, northern pike, and white crappie. Northern pike remains one of the most popular and plentiful fish species you can find present in Lake Tobiason. Location: Off 16th Street NE, adjacent to the Farmers Union Recreation Area in Steele County 5. Turtle River State Park Image via Unsplash by sepro The Turtle River, a tributary of the Red River of the North in northeastern North Dakota, is approximately 75 miles long. Located along the Turtle River, Turtle River State Park calls its home in a wooded valley near Arvilla. More than 10 miles of hiking trails meander through the forested hills and along the Turtle River in the park. You'll find the park located about 22 miles west of Grand Forks. The trout-stocked Turtle River offers plenty of opportunities for anglers seeking rainbow trout. According to an article originally published in the Grand Forks Herald, rainbow trout are not native fish species to the Turtle River. In the late 1990s, the North Dakota Game and Fish Department started to stock Shasta-strain rainbow trout in the Turtle River. Since the Turtle River is too shallow to support a trout population in the river throughout the year, the department stocks the body of water with rainbow trout of a catchable size two or three times in the spring and again as fall approaches. The availability of trout in the Turtle River appeals to individuals of all ages and levels, from recreational anglers to serious fly-fishing enthusiasts who actively test the pools looking for telltale signs that trout are present. In addition to trout, the Turtle River also supports a healthy population of northern pike that anglers in the northeastern North Dakota region prize.

Honda Sensing is is a suite of driver-assist technologies designed to improve your driving experience as well as help you stay safer on today's busy highways and roads. These technologies use radar, optical sensors, or both to monitor the road around your new Honda. Honda Sensing technologies provide feedback in real-time as situations present themselves. Alerts can come in by visual or audio signals or even through haptic (vibrating) seats. Some systems will even intervene on your behalf with emergency braking and steering correction should you fail to react in time. Honda Sensing helps keep you, your passengers, and your vehicle safe and secure, allowing you to retain peace of mind and saving you from having to schedule emergency repairs. more Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) Image via Flickr by National Transportation Safety Board The Honda Collision Mitigation Braking System uses advanced optical technology and radar to monitor the road ahead for obstacles. When the system detects a possible collision it alerts the driver with visual and audio cues. It will also send haptic vibrations through the accelerator pedal. Should you fail to react in time, the system will apply emergency brake support in an effort to lessen the effects of an impact or avoid one altogether. Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) Optical sensors mounted high on the windshield monitor your Honda when traveling within marked lanes. When the system detects an unintentional drift it will alert you both visually and audibly. An unintentional drift would be crossing the dotted white lines on a highway or yellow lines on state and local roads without activating your turn signal. Road Departure Mitigation System (RDMS) This system works with the Lane Keeping Assist System. This system engages when the drift occurs and no corrective action is taken by the driver. Once engaged, the system will apply gentle steering correction to return you to your marked lane. An additional element to this system is that it can detect when you are about to leave the roadway entirely. Should this occur the system will apply emergency braking and steering to help avoid leaving the road, potentially saving you from an accident. Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) This convenient technology scans the road ahead for signs. It only takes a moment to become distracted and miss a potentially important sign. This system will recognize a large number of road signs and project the sign to your driver information display or the head-up display if your Honda has one. You'll get a brief alert for the approaching sign. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Adaptive Cruise Control uses advanced radar and cameras to keep you at a preset speed and distance while in traffic. As the traffic ahead slows the system automatically slows your Honda down, even to a complete stop. When the way ahead clears, the system will return you to your preset speed and distance. This helps reduce driver fatigue from continuous braking and accelerating. Honda Lane Watch Having a better view helps reduce the potential for an accident, and Honda Lane Watch gives you that better view. Available on select newer models, this system uses a camera mounted on the right sideview mirror. Any time you activate your right turn signal, the camera sends live video to the touchscreen in your center stack. The video provides four times the field of view of just the mirror alone, increasing your confidence when changing lanes in traffic. Blind Spot Information System Have you ever wished you had eyes in the back of your head? Having eyes where you normally can't see is what you get with Honda's Blind Spot Information System. The system uses sensors that monitor your blind spots, alerting you when a vehicle enters whenever your turn signals are active. You'll receive a visual cue from the blinking turn signal indicator and audible beeping sounds until the way is clear or your turn signal is deactivated. Cross Traffic Monitor Your Honda multi-angle rearview camera is used to detect vehicles or pedestrians approaching from either side when you're in reverse. The display flashes alerts while a beeping sound continues until the path is clear. This is particularly useful in busy parking lots and can even help you avoid obstacles like a bicycle left in the driveway. Auto High Beam Headlights When you're driving at night, this system uses advanced sensors that detect oncoming headlights or the taillights of cars you are approaching. The system will automatically switch to low beam when lights are detected and toggle back when the way ahead is clear. Your headlights must be in Auto Mode for the system to work. Honda Vehicles With Honda Sensing Honda is proud to say that nearly every vehicle in the new vehicle lineup comes with most, if not all, of the above systems as standard features. The goal is to be an accident-free society. That may seem like a lofty idea, but these intelligent systems are already proving their worth on the roads. Vehicles that feature Honda Sensing include the Honda Passport, an SUV that can take you wherever you want to go. The Honda CR-V and HR-V are the perfect urban adventure vehicles, and standard Honda Sensing standard will give you confidence while navigating the busy boulevards and side streets of your city. Another SUV, the Honda Pilot, also comes with Honda Sensing. Honda's family-focused minivan, the Odyssey, has all the comfort and convenience your family has come to expect from Honda, and the Honda Sensing package conveniently makes you more comfortable knowing your family is safer because of it. The Civic Coupe, Sedan, and Hatchback all feature the Honda Sensing system, as does the Clarity Fuel Cell and the Clarity Plug-In Hybrid. From the Accord to the Fit and on to the Ridgeline, you'll find Honda Sensing providing its protection to you and your family.
