Does the XR-V have cruise control?
2 Answers
The XR-V is equipped with cruise control, which allows maintaining a constant speed without keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal. To activate cruise control: Press the control switch to standby mode, accelerate to your desired speed, then push the control lever downward to set the cruising speed. To cancel cruise control, you can pull the control lever upward, turn off the main cruise control switch, press the accelerator pedal, or lightly tap the brake. The XR-V is a new compact SUV model launched by Dongfeng Honda. In terms of dimensions, the Honda XR-V measures 4275mm in length, 1770mm in width, and 1605mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610mm. For powertrain options, the Honda XR-V offers either a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine or a 1.5L Earth Dreams engine, with the former delivering a maximum power output of 136 horsepower.
Yes, it does have cruise control. The Honda XR-V comes equipped with a cruise control system in most of its higher trim levels. It makes long-distance driving much easier, especially on highways, where you just set the speed and it maintains it automatically, freeing your right foot. I've experienced it while driving the XR-V, and the system is quite responsive and easy to operate—just press the buttons on the steering wheel. However, be aware that lower trims might not include this feature, depending on the model year you purchase. For example, models from 2020 onwards generally have it. Why is this feature so popular? Because it reduces the risk of fatigue driving, enhances safety, and saves fuel. But a reminder: don’t use it in urban areas or heavy traffic; it’s safest to activate it only on smooth, open roads. Although cruise control is convenient, don’t overlook regular vehicle maintenance—check the related circuits periodically to avoid malfunctions due to poor contact or sensor failures.
