Very Poor SUV, Fortuner is a Diesel and is better

 

Exterior Not good.Rear is a bit good.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors look better than Santa Fe but no ESP,active headrests and Land Rover-ish 18-inch alloys-all missing is CR-V but Sunroof is in the CR-V and absent on Santa Fe.But blue backlit dials in Santa Fe is more funky.Space is good but seven seats can be better like Santa Fe,Captiva,Fortuner and Endeavour 4X4.Comfort is good, but the Santa Fe is a bit 10-seater-ish!!!!

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is not good but refined.But the 9 kpl FE is not good.Gearbox is poor. The CR-V is priced 30Lakhs in Delhi,Has no 271 V6 engine and the FE is very poor.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride is great and handling is too marvellous.

 

Final Words If you buy Honda City,than it is a good car.But when you go for CR-V,then you will not feel it is good.The Santa Fe has Diesel engine,18-inch alloys,ESP,active headrests and Dual-Zone climate Control and Rear AC vent-all absent on the CR-V.Only a Sunroof is absent in Santa Fe and is in CR-V.Santa Fe is a good car but no AT.The 30Lakh CR-V is poor and bad.Go for the Fortuner or SantaFe.

 

Areas of improvement Almost price and a seven seat option.Even ESP can be at a 30Lakh Honda.The bland front can be better. 

 

Overall a good carOverpriced,No Seven-Seats like Endeavour,No ESP
