Is the Honda CR-V AWD?

Does the Honda CR-V have all-wheel drive? The answer is yes. While front-wheel drive is standard, every Honda CR-V trim level offers all-wheel drive as an option, and the CR-V doesn’t compromise fuel efficiency even with this enhanced system. The best part is, there are many Honda CR-V AWD models available at Honda of Escondido within the overall new CR-V inventory.

Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™

Over the years, auto manufacturers have created unique AWD systems for their specific models, and Honda is no different. The Honda CR-V, in particular, employs the Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™, which relies on a rear differential for ultimate traction and control around Carlsbad. Honda CR-V AWD models function as follows:

• If your CR-V loses traction on slippery roads or rugged terrain, the rear differential will engage via a multi-plate clutch system.
• This engagement allows for the delivery of torque to all four wheels, not just the front two.
• The Intelligent Control System makes the shift to all-wheel drive entirely seamless, reducing any lag when the rear wheels engage.
• Intelligent Control utilizes an electric motor mounted on the transmission, as opposed to a mechanical system.

As previously mentioned, every Honda CR-V can be equipped with all-wheel drive. With the Honda CR-V EX AWD, the Honda CR-V EX-L AWD, or any other Honda CR-V AWD model, you can benefit from the following standard and available features to enhance every drive around Vista:
