How Much Can the Honda CR-V Tow?
When properly equipped, the 2021 Honda CR-V can tow up to 1,500 pounds. However, what does that mean for you as a driver? Well, with this kind of towing strength, you’ll be able to tow these kinds of items on your weekend trips:
- Small pop-up trailer for camping at Guadalupe River State Park
- Dirt bikes or ATVs for chewing up the gravel at White Knuckle Ranch
- Jet skis for a day out on Canyon Lake
The 2021 CR-V utilizes the power of its standard 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and other equipment to achieve its maximum towing capacity. Paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), this powertrain churns out 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque for a quick and smooth drive.
Does the Honda CR-V Have Towing Features?
To maintain its stability and control when towing, the 2021 Honda CR-V comes armed with advanced performance systems. For starters, the available Real Time all-wheel-drive™ (AWD™) system utilizes various sensors to monitor the CR-V’s traction and send torque to the rear wheels when necessary. By doing so, it helps the CR-V confidently trek down unpaved roads and rain-slick streets.
Next up, the standard multi-angle rearview camera displays one of three angles on your screen: normal, top-down, and wide. Choose your preferred view to easily reverse into a parking spot, or hitch up a trailer to the back of your CR-V.
Last but not least, there are standard performance-enhancing systems to keep the CR-V steady on its path. They include:
- Hill Start Assist
- Anti-lock braking system
- Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with Traction Control
How Much Cargo Room Does the Honda CR-V Have?
Whether you’re camping for the weekend or enjoying a day on the lake, the Honda CR-V ensures there’s enough space for your belongings inside of it as well.
With the rear seats upright, it provides 39.2 cubic feet of standard cargo room. When you fold the rear seats down, you’ll have up to 75.8 cubic feet of maximum cargo room for your coolers, tents, backpacks, and more. Plus, the standard 60/40 split rear seatback makes it simple to pack up and go with its lever in the rear cargo area.
Are your hands full of groceries or camping gear? The Honda CR-V is here to help with its available hands-free access power tailgate. Swing your foot underneath the rear bumper to open or close the tailgate—no hands needed! You can also secure additional belongings on the top of this SUV with its available roof basket and roof rails with crossbars.
