No matter where you head in Northern California, there are places to go and things to do. Head into Downtown San José or its nearby Japantown, Little Saigon, or Willow Glen neighborhoods, and you can avail yourself of myriad restaurants, shops, and other accommodations. There's plenty of sun to soak up at the beach, beautiful mountains into which to trek, and ample wine country to sample.

And we at Honda of Stevens Creek know you'll need a reliable, efficient, yet powerful family traveler in which to take the whole gang in tow. And we have many, in the 2017 Honda CR-V.

Coming into the model year revamped, each 2017 CR-V trim, whether LX, EX, EX-L, or Touring, offers something for each go-getting troupe. A 101.6-to-105.9-cubic-foot interior, depending upon trim, lets up to 5 passengers recline in comfort, while 39.2 cubic feet of room for luggage can expand up to a spacious 75.8 cubic feet upon folding the 2017 CR-V 60/40 split rear seat. The crossover can even haul up to 1,500 pounds when properly equipped with a compatible trailer.

You can also enjoy a bit of entertainment for the duration. Streaming road mixes from a compatible mobile device is a snap with Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® capability, and Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ compatibility in CR-V EX and higher trims, as well as a USB audio interface, keeps your connectivity options open. Plus, you can take advantage of Pandora® support.

And under the hood, 2017 Honda CR-V proves just as ready for the road as its interior is accommodating. A base 184-horsepower, inline 4-cylinder 16-valve DOHC i-VTEC engine in the LX trim, upgradable to a turbocharged variant in higher trims, peppily puts that destination in sight, and Sport mode puts a bit of push behind you for handling fun. Active Noise Cancellation™ (ANC) technology, Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), and Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with Traction Control likewise appear standard to make for a smooth ride.

As is shown by the Honda commitment to producing practical, efficient and refined vehicles of excellent value for the long haul, there's plenty more whence these perks came. Check out a 2017 Honda CR-V for yourself here at our 4590 Stevens Creek Boulevard showroom in San Jose. We'll be more than happy to put you behind the wheel for a test drive to explore a vehicle that's truly more than meets the eye.
