Honda CR-V III (2007–2012) Parts – Genuine Products and High-Quality Replacements

The third-generation Honda CR-V (RE / RE7) arrived in Europe in 2007. It introduced a lower, wider body, an upward-opening tailgate (replacing the side-hinged door) and relocated the spare wheel under the cargo floor. This generation improved comfort, stability and safety while keeping the practicality of a family SUV.

At JDMshop.eu we offer a wide range of genuine Honda OEM parts and premium aftermarket replacements for the CR-V III – across petrol, diesel and Real Time 4WD variants.

Engines in Honda CR-V III (2007–2012)

The third-gen CR-V was offered with three main powertrains. Here is a concise overview to help with correct parts selection:

• 2.0 i-VTEC (R20A) – petrol, 150 hp / 110 kW (Europe). A robust chain-driven unit known for longevity and low running costs. On high mileage, check valve cover gaskets and intake cleanliness.
• 2.4 i-VTEC (K24Z1/K24Z) – petrol, around 166 hp / 122 kW. Less common in the EU (often imported), but popular for its stronger mid-range and refinement. Chain-driven; on very high mileage watch for VTC actuator noise on cold start.
• 2.2 i-CTDi / i-DTEC (N22A2 / N22B) – diesel, 140–150 hp and ~340 Nm. i-CTDi (140 hp) in earlier cars; i-DTEC (150 hp) after the facelift. Efficient and torquey, but requires regular EGR/turbo and clutch/DMF maintenance.

We match parts by VIN – from filters and gaskets through timing, EGR and turbochargers to suspension and braking components for each engine type above.

Real Time 4WD – proven traction

All-wheel-drive versions use Honda’s Real Time 4WD – a hydraulically controlled multi-plate clutch that automatically sends torque to the rear axle when the front wheels slip. The system is maintenance-friendly and valued for reliability and simplicity.
