1. CRV four-wheel drive principle
When it comes to driving on complex roads, you must understand CRV's four-wheel drive. The full name of CRV's four-wheel drive is dual-pump system REAL TIME 4WD (English: Dual Pump System REAL TIME 4WD). In 1995, Honda's original viscous coupling real-time four-wheel drive (Viscous Coupling) RealTime 4WD) developed. To be precise, CRV's four-wheel drive is not the four-wheel drive system of a hard-core off-road vehicle in the traditional sense. It is a car with higher passability and safety on complex roads than ordinary cars. It is an ON ROAD car. It is by no means an OFF ROAD off-road vehicle. So there is not even a 4WD logo on the CRV.
Even the CRV's suspension system and front-wheel drive mode determine that the CRV is not an off-road vehicle.

MPV
The concept of MPV comes from the United States and is the abbreviation of Mini Passenger Van. Its original meaning is a micro passenger van (the "mini" here mainly refers to large vans such as Bus). Later, someone changed it into a Multi-purpose Vehicle, emphasizing its versatility. It is a model that combines cars, station wagons and vans. But today, any car called MPV must be a van, which is what we commonly call a van, and it must be used to seat people. Strictly speaking, MPVs are models mainly targeted at individual family users. Passenger cars that are modified from commercial vans and targeted at group customers cannot be considered true MPVs. The space of MPV is relatively larger than that of cars with the same displacement, and there are also differences in size, but it is not as thin as a sedan. After the mid-1980s, MPVs became popular all over the world from the United States. This van-like body design can hold more things while also having the comfort and ease of operation of a car; In narrow Europe and Japan, manufacturers have also developed petite SMPVs according to their different road conditions. According to statistics, in developed countries in Europe and the United States, every three households now own an MPV on average.
