2019 honda CR-V in Kenya: Review, Prices & Specs
2019 Honda CR-V: A Carimports.co.ke Review
The Big Picture
For professionals seeking an SUV that delivers a blend of sophistication and practicality, the 2019 Honda CR-V (RW Generation) stands out. It feels a class larger than the RAV4 or Forester inside. It is the vehicle of choice for families who need maximum legroom and a premium feel without buying a full-size SUV.
Engine, Performance & Economy
The CR-V offers two excellent powertrain choices for the Kenyan market.
- 1.5L VTEC Turbo: The main engine for 2019. Producing 190 HP, it provides a responsive driving feel and returns 12-14 km/l.
- 2.0L i-MMD Hybrid: Outstanding efficiency, delivering a quiet, smooth ride and fuel economy of 18-20 km/l.
Design & Practicality
This CR-V generation presents a bold, modern exterior. Inside, it’s remarkably spacious. The doors open 90 degrees for easy entry, and the rear legroom is limo-like. Ground clearance sits at approximately 208 mm (AWD models), a significant improvement that handles Kenyan roads with confidence.
Comfort & Technology
Inside, Honda has prioritized a premium feel. The "Masterpiece" trim comes with leather and wood accents that rival European cars. The cabin feels modern and streamlined, tailored for today’s tech-savvy driver.
Safety & Stability
Safety is a clear strength. Most 2019 imports are equipped with the Honda Sensing suite, which includes Collision Mitigation Braking and Lane Keeping Assist—key advantages for highway driving to Mombasa.
Reliability & Maintenance
The 1.5L Turbo is reliable IF serviced correctly with high-quality synthetic oil to protect the turbo. Maintenance costs are slightly higher than Toyota equivalents, but genuine parts are available in Nairobi.
