2017 Honda CR-V when properly equipped, will avoid collision

Although not 100% Autonomous, 2017 Honda CR-V when optioned with Honda’s award winning Honda Sensing ™, will aid your teenage driver in keeping within the driving lane when distracted (often,) and mitigate collision avoidance by automatically applying the brakes, often a split second before the driver becomes aware of pending doom.

Honda Sensing features include: Roll-over- prevention via heightened electronic suspension stability, ABS, electronic brake aided non-skid quick stopping, and much more. Me, I like the adaptive cruise control and Lane Keep assist. Read more about active safety features here. You will find full 2017 CR-V specifications and trim level MSRP here.
