How long does it take from ordering to picking up the 2021 CRV?
4 Answers
Delivery time is only one month. More information about the CRV is as follows: 1. Interior: It is a large sedan. Although the interior appears to be a four-seat sedan, the seats can be easily moved to free up space for large items. More conveniently, front-seat passengers can move freely to the rear seats without getting out of the car. 2. Control system: It is equipped with VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) body stability control system and TSA (Trailer Stability Assist) trailer stability control system. 3. Powertrain: It is powered by a 1.5T turbocharged engine and a 2.0-liter hybrid system.
My experience ordering the 2021 CR-V was quite typical – it took about a month from placing the order to taking delivery. I opted for the Pearl White hybrid version, which was particularly in high demand. The salesperson mentioned that the production line only scheduled this color once a month. In the two weeks leading up to delivery, I checked the manufacturer's app daily to track the logistics status, watching as it moved from the Guangdong factory to the Hangzhou transfer station. If you order the base model or less popular colors, the process can be faster – I've seen black models delivered in as little as 15 days. Additionally, it's wise to allow more time during the year-end car-buying peak season. I was lucky to place my order in September. Looking back, the delivery day felt very ceremonial, with the salesperson even tying a red ribbon on the rearview mirror.
Having worked in the car dealership for so many years, the waiting period for vehicles like the CRV mainly depends on three indicators. The 1.5T Urban Edition, which has the highest production volume, typically takes 15 to 20 days, while the hybrid version generally requires over 30 days. Recently, due to the tight chip supply, some owners have reported that the system automatically delayed delivery by 7 to 10 days. Special reminder: if you choose optional factory-installed roof racks or side steps, it will add an extra 5 days for assembly. Remember to ask the salesperson to show you the logistics code. For vehicles produced at Guangqi Honda's Luogang factory in Guangzhou, the transportation chain to North China takes about 7 days. Nowadays, 4S stores have an in-transit vehicle management system, so it's advisable to lock in those configurations of vehicles that are already on the way.
Just helped my cousin pick up the 2021 CRV. Kept a close eye on the timeline: deposit paid on March 15, sales promised delivery by April 10 at the latest. Received manufacturer SMS confirming production scheduling on day 4, vehicle left factory on day 10, arrived at dealership for PDI inspection on day 18. Actually got the pickup notification on April 6, 4 days earlier than expected. Recommend avoiding month-end car buying peak periods - their financial settlements slow down the process. Also, loan purchases require pre-approval time; we paid in full so it was faster. Now the app shows real-time vehicle location - I started selecting license plates when the transport truck reached the neighboring province.
