2024 Honda CR-V. Photo: Honda Ground clearance is one of the factors that makes the Honda CR-V a great off-roading starter vehicle. Let's hit the ground running and learn more about this impressive SUV. more Honda CR-V Ground Clearance Simply put, this number measures the height between the flat ground surface and the bottom of your CR-V's body. The clearance (or ride height) across the CR-V line is about 7.8 inches. For an all-wheel drive version, however, you can move the clearance up to around 8.2 inches. Keep in mind that ride height is typically measured when the auto is empty. Adding passengers and cargo will lower the number. With a ride height that sits comfortably in the mid-range, you can be more assured that your CR-V will not endure any undesirable scraping or damage from rocky surfaces or other off-roading environments. Powerful Performance This compact SUV benefitted from a major redesign in 2023 that gifted it a more potent turbocharged four-cylinder engine boasting 190 ponies and 179 pound-feet of twisty torque. With a hybrid powertrain, you can up that horsepower to roughly 204. Whether you opt for the LX, the EX, or the EX-L trim (or the hybrid version's Sport lines), you can solidify your off-roading cred with available all-wheel drive adept at tackling more challenging landscapes. Otherwise, your ride will come in front-wheel drive. Superb Safety The precisely tuned suspension and chassis--along with strong brakes--provide a smooth ride that largely avoids the handling and body roll dangers you might typically worry about with a larger SUV. Plus, you'll score a solid set of safety features that'll help you enjoy your off-road adventures with less stress. A standard safety suite includes lane departure and forward collision warnings, forward automatic emergency braking, a rearview camera, and automatic high-beam headlights. Other Adventurous Benefits You'll likely want to bring some sweet supplies for your off-road excursion. The CR-V has you covered with nearly 40 cubic feet of cargo space behind that second row and an even more massive 77 cubic feet available with folded seats. Make the packing more hassle-free with a hands-free power liftgate. Towing-wise, you can easily bring along some aquatic apparatus or bikes courtesy of that 1,500 pounds of possible towing capacity. Power-up with available roof rails, too. And those 18 or 19-inch wheels can handle any tough terrain while upping your ride height. If you want to customize your SUV and make it even more off-road-ready, a lift kit with lift springs, spacers, coil-overs, or other devices could prove useful. Have it all with a ride that's ready to rumble whether you're braving the city jungle or the great outdoors.
