Is the Honda CR-V AWD?

If you’re like many Champaign drivers, you’re probably wondering, “Is the Honda CR-V offered with AWD? Like many Honda vehicles, the Honda CR-V comes standard with front-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive is available. You’ll get all of the comfort and efficiency of the new Honda CR-V, backed by even more traction and power on rough roads around Mahomet. Read on to learn more about the Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™ and the CR-V models that offer it! 

What is the Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™? 

Many OEMs have specialized all-wheel drive systems. Honda utilizes Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™, which installs a rear differential to vehicles with FWD. This makes it easy to upgrade the CR-V FWD to CR-V AWD. How does this system work, exactly? It’s fairly simple. 

• The rear differential engages via a multi-plate clutch system when the CR-V loses traction on rugged terrain. 
• At this point, torque is delivered to all four wheels — not just two. 
• “Intelligent Control” reduces the lag many all-wheel drive systems experience when the rear wheels are utilized. 
• To transfer power, the Intelligent Control System relies on an electric motor mounted on the transmission, instead of a mechanical system. 

What Are the Honda CR-V AWD Models? 

All Honda CR-V trim levels are available with all-wheel drive. Though if you choose the CR-V EX Hybrid, the CR-V EX-L Hybrid, or the CR-V Touring, the AWD system comes standard! Here’s what you can expect when you get a CR-V model with AWD: 

• Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™
• 190-hp 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine 
• Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
• 18-inch wheels
