World-first active safety feature will also be a highlight in the facelifted CR-V. In fact, the car will premiere Honda's new Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control (i-ACC) system as part of company's commitment to ‘Safety for Everyone'. The system predicts and automatically reacts to other vehicles that are ‘cutting-in' to the vehicle's lane.

i-ACC does this via the use of camera and a radar to sense the position of other vehicles on the road. Combined with the enhanced suspension and optimised NVH measures, the new CR-V will definitely deliver more refined yet dynamic drive.

2015 Honda CR-V Facelift will be distributed only in Europe and is scheduled to arrive in showrooms this Spring.
