Does the XRV have cruise control?
2 Answers
XRV has cruise control, which allows you to maintain a constant speed without keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal. Cruise control can be used on highways or open roads to slightly accelerate or decelerate while driving at a steady speed. To set the speed, reach the desired speed, remove your foot from the accelerator pedal, and press the SET button. The moment you release the SET button, the speed is fixed, and cruise control begins, with the CRUISE CONTROL indicator lighting up. The current Honda XRV models have body dimensions of 4328mm in length, 1772mm in width, and 1605mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610mm. Compared to the previous model, the body length has increased by 58mm due to the front and rear bumpers, while other dimensions remain unchanged.
I remember during the time I drove the Honda XR-V, this car did indeed have cruise control, which was especially helpful on highways. The specific operation involved a lever or button on the right side of the steering wheel—once the speed was set, the car would maintain it, sparing my feet from fatigue. As a driver with over a decade of experience, I recommend opting for an automatic transmission in higher trim levels when purchasing a car, as base models may lack this feature or have simplified configurations. Although the XR-V's cruise control doesn't include automatic braking or adaptive speed adjustment, it's reliable enough for long-distance driving. I always engaged it on highways—it saved fuel and made driving effortless, particularly during weekend trips when I could enjoy the scenery without constantly focusing on throttle control. However, be cautious not to use it in rainy conditions or on mountainous roads to avoid skidding accidents.
