Honda Releases 2015 CR-V
Honda has officially launched the 2015 Honda CR-V which will soon be available in Honda dealerships across the country. This new model has been given several upgrades in terms of both power, fuel efficiency, comfort, convenience, safety and more.
The 2015 CR-V is powered by a new 185 hp Earth Dreams Technology™ 2.4-liter direct-injected DOHC i-VTEC inline 4-cylinder engine that generates 181 lb.-ft of torque paired with a new continuously variable transmission (CVT) with G-design Shift.
EPA estimate for this model is 27 MPG city/ 34 MPG highway*
The 2015 Honda CR-V is equipped with an array of new available technological and driver assist features such as 7-inch touchscreen Display Audio telematics interface, new rear console heat/air ventilation ducts, re-styled front and rear bodywork, mirrors and wheels, 7-inch Display Audio, Honda LaneWatch™, 10-way power driver’s seat, LED daytime running lights, heated front seats, Smart Entry/Push-Button Start and much more.
Be sure to look out for the official arrival of the 2015 Honda CR-V here at D’ELLA Honda if you live near Queensbury, Saratoga, Clifton Park or Glens Falls, NY.
*Based on 2015 EPA mileage ratings. Use for comparison purposes only. Your mileage will vary depending on how you drive and maintain your vehicle.
In addition to providing you with vehicles that set new standards in technology, convenience, and comfort, Honda has been doing its part to help make the environment strong. Just six months ago, they installed two power-producing wind turbines at Honda transmission Manufacturing of America Incorporated. In addition to being a leap forward for conservation, there was another great story that came as a result of their installation.
The two turbines, which stand at 260 feet tall are producing 6.3 percent more power than what was initially anticipated. This has helped reduce CO2 emissions. It played a big part in Honda reaching its voluntary goal of reducing the environmental impact of its products and manufacturing operations by 2020.
The Ohio based plant that they were installed at is now the first major automotive facility in the USA to receive a substantial amount of its power from on site wind turbines. This makes Honda a leader in developing cars and greener practices.
Recently at a special ceremony American Honda President & CEO Takuji Yamada presented 15 of the companies top suppliers with a 2014 Premier Partner Award. These 15 winners were chosen from over 1,000 eligible companies and were awarded for their strong dedication to American Honda Motor Co., Inc’s core principles of quality, customer service and value.

In the continuation of Honda’s innovative “What Makes a Honda is Who Makes a Honda” series, this past month Honda chose to highlight the accomplishments of an assistant manager in Honda’s Customer Support Center in Chino, CA, Cynthia Simons. This is an ongoing 12-part series where each month Honda chooses a valued employee and features them in a short piece that outlines the individual’s personal and professional accomplishments.
A few years ago Simons went through a personal battle with Cancer and experienced an overwhelming amount of support from her local community which inspired her to continue giving back to others. Through her position with Honda, Simons works with the national customer support network for Honda customers. She also started the Cynthia’s Heart Foundation through which she partners with Honda Associated to help distribute food, water and additional household items to individuals in need.
“What was most impressive to me is that a company as large as Honda would have respect for the individual as part of its Honda philosophy,” Simons said. “Respect for the individual is so important because we have to have that same spirit with the customers every day.”
