18-03-2018:
Used 2016 Honda CR-V 1.6iDTEC 120 2WD bought from a Honda dealer. Within 10 minutes, engine management light came on. Buyer returned car and a forced DPF regen was performed. While in the workshop a secondary glow plug issue was advised and owner left the dealer with the engine management light still on and the requirement to go back a second time. Probably due to the way it was driven by the previous owner, but to be safe requires new glowplugs, new EGR and new DPF. If not forthcoming, better to reject the car.
30-03-2018:
Further report on 2016 CR-V 1.6iDTEC 120 2WD (18-3-2018). Honda dealer took car due to intermittent cutting out issue, with them for over 2 weeks and they apparently had "intensive" talks with Honda Japan - which resulted in an earthing wire replacement and new battery. Then they road tested it for 181 miles and cutting out fault said to have not occurred again. Vehicle returned to owner and 20 miles later the PGM-FI warning light came on, so back to dealership for diagnosis of glow plug failure. Apparently unrelated to the other electrical issues.

31-08-2018:
Report that shudder from drivetrain of Honda CR-V can often be due to failing engine or transmission mountings that are reasonably cheap to replace.
04-10-2018:
Report of January 2018 Honda CR-V 1.6iDTEC running normally for 4,000 miles, but in the last 1,700 miles the car has used two litres of oil. The light came on after 750 miles with no oil registering on the dip stick. AA attended, found no leaks, put one litre in the engine and 800 to 900 miles later the light came on again and another litre required. 3 visits to the main dealer 6 calls to Honda UK and owner has been told this is with in the "normal tolerances" of the engine. On the last visit he was told during a DPF regen the oil can be become thinner causing excess burn. It's likely that the owner is doing short journeys that promote active regens and is switching off mid active regen.
06-10-2018:
Report of 2016 Honda CR-V 1.6 i-DTEC 4WD needing new front discs and pads at 18,800 miles.

26-05-2019:
Report of DPF light appearing on dash of 2015 Honda CR-V 1.6 i-DTEC manual soon after a Honda service at 59,600 miles. Dealer performed Manual ReGen and Charged £120. Then said that Manual ReGen has failed and needed to change the DPF Filter. This cost £800 and another £50 for an extra oil change. After spending around £970 altogether on the DPF Issue, the DPF light came back on again wthin a 10 days. Dealer asked for time to investigate, suspecting the sensors. Unfortunately where 'diagnistics' rely on data extracted from sensors, it does not allow for the sensors themselves to be faulty.

July 2012
Honda CR-V revealed
Launch engines are the 2.2 i-DTEC with 150PS and 350NM torque. The manual with idle stop emits 149g/km CO2, same as a BMW X3 2.0 diesel, but the auto chucks out 174g/km, which is quite a lot more than the X3 auto.
The 2.0 i-VTEC now offers 155PS and 192Nm torque. It emits 173g/km in manual form with idle stop and 175g/km as an auto. But in 2WD manual form emissions drop to 168g/km.
The 4WD system is different from before. Instead of having dual pump system that engages 4WD when it is needed, it now has a single hydraulic pump and the car sets off in 4WD, ‘relaxing’ to 2WD when the system detects it isn’t needed.
Wheel and tyre sizes are: 17-inch with 225/65 R17 tyres; 18-inch with 225/60 R18 tyres or (not recommended) 19-inch with 245/45 R19 tyres.
With the rear seats folded flat, the boot capacity of the CR-V has grown by 148 litres to 1,648 litres. If the space saver spare wheel is specified, 147 litres to 1,669 litres and with the seats folded up, the boot capacity is 589 litres. The load length has been increased by 140mm to 1,570mm, while the height of the load lip has been reduced by 25mm to make it easier to load heavy or awkward items. The boot of the CR-V can now accommodate two mountain bikes or four sets of golf clubs.
The next generation Motion Adaptive electric power steering system (MA-EPS) has been refined to combine easy manoeuvrability with increased feedback and response at higher velocity. This sophisticated new system also works with the standard Advanced Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system to detect instability in slippery road conditions and automatically initiates steering inputs that prompt the driver to steer in the correct direction.
The MA-EPS system also has efficiency benefits. It’s simple and compact and unlike a conventional hydraulic pump power steering system, it does not draw continuous power from the engine, helping to reduce fuel consumption.
There’s also a range of electronic systems designed to make driving both easier and safer including Hill Start Assist (HSA) which is standard across the range and stops the vehicle rolling backwards during hill starts. Hill Descent Control (HDC) makes its debut on the CR-V and is available on automatic variants, it operates at up to 5 mph and helps the CR-V descend difficult terrain safely and consistently. These systems work in conjunction with the VSA and the MA-EPS systems.

Honda CR-V Black Edition and White Edition revealed
Both share a range of bold exterior enhancements. The CR-V Black and White Edition models represent a saving of £770 compared to the CR-V SE-T combined with the relevant optional equipment. Both Black Edition and White Edition come on 19-inch Orion alloy wheels with low profile tyres (sacrificing ride quality for bling), exhaust finisher and privacy glass.
The front has a new patterned grille, while a tailgate spoiler extends the line of the roof over the rear window. Integrated running boards are also fitted, while front and rear skid plates top the styling upgrades while protecting the underside of the car. The Special Editions also benefit from the specification offered with the CR-V SE-T, which features dual-zone climate control, Bluetooth HFT, front and rear parking sensors and power-folding door mirrors, plus metallic paint and satellite navigation all as standard.
October 2014
Honda CR-V facelifted for 2015
Comes with new 1.6 i-DTEC engine, new headlamps, front grille, fog lights, skid-plate and bumper, new rear LED combination lamps, refreshed tailgate design and bumper.
2.2 i-DTEC engine dropped and 4WD CR-V now offered with 160PS / 350Nm 1.6 i-DTEC and optional 9-speed torque converter automatic transmission.
With six-speed manual transmission the 4WD 160PS 1.6 i-DTEC offers sub 130 g/km of CO2. With the 9-speed automatic CO2 is less than 135g/km
2WD diesel CR-V with manual transmission continues with the 120PS 1.6 litre i-DTEC diesel engine, now with emissions as low as 117 g/km.

18-01-2016: New Honda CR-V Black Edition launched Three years after the last version of the CR-V Black Edition first launched, Honda has revived the more sporty, premium look. Available in 4WD with a choice of petrol or diesel and manual or automatic, the new CR-V Black Edition starts from £29,995 for the manual 2.0 i-VTEC and tops out at £33,730 for the automatic 1.6 i-DTEC.
On the exterior, owners will get running boards, a tailgate spoiler, 19-inch black alloys, a gloss black front grille as well as gloss black skid plates on the front and rear. The high-quality full leather interior features contrasting stitching with an embossed Black Edition logo on the front and rear seats while the door panels and arm rests are also leather. The interior is finished off with premium carpet mats complete with the Black Edition logo.
