Third Generation

2006 to 2011
Significantly redesigned for 2007, the Honda CR-V received a conventional lift gate and a five-speed automatic transmission. Engine power for the 2007 CR-V was rated at 166 horsepower and was upgraded to 180 horsepower during a 2010 vehicle refresh that included a new grille design.
