Bob Boyte Honda - Tech and Traction for Madison, MS Families — Why drivers love the 2026 Honda CR-V's Real Time AWD™ and Google built-in
Families spend a lot of time on the move, and the right SUV turns every outing into a calmer, more capable drive. Two technologies stand out for that mission—Real Time AWD™ and Google built-in. Together, they help unlock confident traction and streamlined connectivity that are useful Monday through Sunday. Real Time AWD™ helps put power where it is most effective as weather and surfaces change, while Google built-in keeps navigation and helpful voice assistance ready without juggling phones or apps. In practice, this duo means fewer compromises and more ease—fewer slip-and-spin moments leaving a wet soccer field, fewer missed turns while searching for new trailheads, and fewer interruptions when wrangling a trunk full of gear.
Real Time AWD™ is engineered to work in the background, quietly helping with traction on rain-slicked boulevards, gravel cut-throughs, and leaf-covered side streets. It shines most when conditions shift unpredictably—say, during a pop-up shower on a family day trip or when a dirt lane turns washboard. Confidence comes from the system’s ability to send torque where it is most needed while maintaining composed steering and a calm ride. The result is an SUV that feels settled underfoot in the moments that matter. On the tech side, Google built-in helps reduce clutter and complexity. With it, you can ask for the fastest route to a trailhead, call home hands-free, or add a pit stop for snacks—all with natural voice prompts. When paired with standard Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Wireless Android Auto™ compatibility across all trims, the cabin remains clean of cables and crowded phone mounts.
Consider how these systems play out in real-world family life. School drop-off—no more scrambling with cords for navigation, and traction that laughs off early-morning showers. Weekend sports—pull into a soft grass lot without drama. Saturday errands—keep your hands on the wheel and eyes forward while adding last-minute stops by voice. Sunday hikes—count on reliable guidance to a new trail, plus the traction to handle gravel parking lots with confidence. It’s all about reducing friction and adding calm to the routine.
- Rain-soaked commutes: Real Time AWD™ helps maintain stable, confident progress when roads turn slick.
- Unpaved detours: Torque is sent to the wheels that can use it, aiding control on gravel or dirt.
- Hands-full errands: With Google built-in, add a store stop or call ahead without hunting for your phone.
- Family road trips: Voice navigation and steady traction support longer days behind the wheel.
