car_truck"I didn’t think a 2011 SUV could feel this reassuring until I drove this CR-V home in a snowstorm," is how one long-time owner might sum up this Honda. This CR-V LX isn’t about flash or gimmicks; it’s about an honest, well-engineered four-cylinder SUV that still feels composed, confident, and easy to live with, even after the odometer has climbed. With a practical cabin, smart space usage, and Honda’s reputation for durability, it has all the core ingredients families and commuters look for.
Under the hood, this pre-owned 2011 Honda CR-V LX is powered by a 2.4L i-VTEC I-4 DOHC engine producing 180 horsepower. Paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and lock-up, it’s tuned for smooth, predictable response rather than drama.
The Real Time automatic full-time 4WD system quietly manages changing surface conditions, sending power where it’s needed without driver intervention. Combined with four-wheel disc brakes, all-speed ABS, electronic stability control, and traction control, the CR-V offers a stable feel in wet, snowy, or rough conditions.
Inside, the focus is on comfort, visibility, and usability. Bucket front seats with manual height and recline adjustments let the driver find a natural position easily, while the front passenger enjoys a dedicated armrest and 4-way adjustability. Cloth upholstery, full carpet floor covering, and a full headliner create a cohesive, well-finished cabin. A conversation mirror and thoughtful storage, including a mini overhead console, floor console storage, front under-seat tray, and multiple door bins, help keep small items in reach and the cabin uncluttered.
Rear passengers benefit from a split-bench rear seat with manual fore/aft adjustment, 60/40 folding functionality, and tumble-forward capability, giving you flexibility for passengers, cargo, or both.
Three rear head restraints and a rear centre armrest add comfort, while rear under-seat climate ducts help distribute airflow more evenly. Lift the rear hatch and you’ll find a carpeted cargo floor with tie-downs, a cargo light, and a spare tire mounted under the cargo floor to maximize usable space.
Safety and security elements are abundant. The CR-V LX is equipped with six airbags, including front, side, and curtain airbags for first and second rows. Anti-whiplash front head restraints, front and rear height-adjustable head restraints, a rear centre 3-point seatbelt, and child safety rear door locks contribute to occupant protection. Add in the immobilizer, keyfob keyless entry, auto-locking doors, and a remote panic alarm, and you have both active and passive safety covered.
The driving environment is straightforward and intuitive.
A digital/analog instrument cluster with trip computer and trip odometer keeps key information clear. Speed-sensitive power steering and a hydraulic power-assist system give light effort at low speeds and a more settled feel on the highway. Manual tilt and telescopic steering adjustment accommodates different driver sizes. A day/night rearview mirror, deep-tinted windows, and rear window defroster with rear wiper help maintain visibility in varied conditions.
Exterior details are practical and understated: 17 x 6.5-inch silver aluminum wheels wrapped in all-season tires, halogen reflector headlights with a reminder chime, deep-tinted glass, and a high-mounted centre stop light. Body-coloured front and rear bumpers are paired with black cladding, wheel-arch trim, and window surrounds for a clean, durable look. Heated power door mirrors are manually foldable, useful in tight parking situations.
This 2011 Honda CR-V LX, showing 202,743 kilometres, is a straightforward, mechanically focused SUV: regular unleaded fuel, Tier 2 Bin 5 / ULEV II emissions compliance, and proven four-cylinder reliability combined with four-wheel drive.
For buyers seeking a practical, well-thought-out pre-owned SUV with an emphasis on function and long-term dependability, this CR-V LX remains a compelling option.
