Honda CR-V 1995–1998 car dimensions: 4470 mm long, 1750 mm wide and 1705 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,370 kg. Boot space with the seats up is 374 litres.
The cabin feels open and car-like with a full-flat floor and center walk-through, letting five adults move easily. Interior measures 1765 mm long, 1460 mm wide and 1245 mm high. Standard grade gets high-capacity auto air conditioning with air filter. B grade does not. Dual SRS airbags and ABS are factory options early on, later becoming more common. A fold-down table with cupholders sits beside the driver on Standard models. Column-shift AT frees up space. No advanced driver aids appear in period specs.
Boot holds 374 L (VDA) with seats up and 668 L with the 50/50 split rear seats folded flat via tilt-up cushions. Dual-floor design includes a waterproof under-tray for wet gear. The removable hard cover becomes a picnic table with legs and bag hooks. Two-way tailgate offers lift-up glass hatch plus side-opening lower gate for easy loading.
Japanese sources list no official braked or unbraked towing figures for the 1995-1998 models. A dedicated trailer-hitch version arrived later in the generation for light trailers such as jet-skis. Real-time dual-pump 4WD and long-stroke double-wishbone suspension suit light off-road and daily leisure use more than heavy work.
The cabin feels open and car-like with high headroom, a full-flat floor and center walk-through for easy movement between seats. Rear seats fold and tilt for a flat load space.
