Engineered for Mountain Terrain & Bhutan Road Conditions
Engineered for mountain passes, steep inclines and rough roads.
Overview
Driving in Bhutan involves navigating high-altitude mountain passes, sharp bends, steep gradients and varying road quality. Honda vehicles sold at our dealership are built and tuned to handle these rugged terrains with comfort and safety.
Terrain capabilities
Deceleration selector paddles
Located behind the steering wheel, these paddles let you manually increase or decrease the level of regenerative braking. Coming down Dochula Pass, you can slow the car smoothly using electric motor resistance instead of riding and overheating your mechanical brakes.
High ground clearance
With ground clearance of up to 220 mm on the Elevate SUV, Honda vehicles easily handle high speed bumps, unpaved stretches and rocky terrain without scraping the underbody.
Hill Start Assist (HSA)
Automatically holds brake pressure for 2 seconds when moving off from a standstill on a steep incline, preventing backward roll.
Real-Time All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
The CR-V e:HEV RS features an intelligent AWD system that instantly distributes power to the rear wheels when slipping is detected on wet, muddy or gravel slopes.

- Honda Elevate Facelift (220 mm ground clearance)
