Why the CR-V's Lack of a Volume Knob is Mostly Not an Issue
Our2015 Honda CR-Vlong-termer is knobless, and that’s no reason for the crossover to feel embarrassed. After driving the CR-V for thousands of miles, I’ve come to realize that—as a driver—I no longer have a use for volume or tuning knobs. That’s right, I don’t miss the knobs and instead appreciate the extra half-inch the refreshed 2015 CR-V’s display screen gained, in part, by eliminating volume and tuning knobs.

为什么说少了音量旋钮对CR-V来说不叫事
我们关于2015款本田CR-V的长期测评还在继续，在驾驶了超过几千英里之后，对于这台跨界车来说表现是非常好的。我逐渐的意识到，作为一个驾驶者，我不再需要使用那些旋钮。没错，我一点都不怀念传统的旋钮，转而非常欣赏那个额外的半英寸显示屏。还有部分来自静音键和那些仍然存在传统的旋钮。

At least, that’s how I feel as a driver. When you’re alone, removing your hand from the steering wheel to reach a volume knob is not only not as safe as keeping your hands on the steering wheel, but it’s also less convenient compared with stretching your left thumb to the wheel’s volume up button. Press and hold that easy-to-find button, and in just a second or two, the volume increases by a few levels. I don’t see the inconvenience, but associate online editor Erick Ayapana felt different about the issue with ourlong-term 2015 Honda Fit.

至少，这让我觉得作为一个驾驶者来说。假如你独自驾驶的时候，把手移开方向盘去调节音量是很不安全的。但是话说回来，就方便程度而言，其实是不是很方便的。虽然按键也很好找，但是距离可能有点偏远，拇指会感觉有点扯，长按1-2秒，音量就会提升一些。我觉得还好，但是我们的副主编，Erick Ayapana 在我们有关2015款的本田飞度（译注：采用了同样音量调节设计）的长期测评中呢，有不同意见。

If you generally yield DJ duties to a front passenger, the little plus and minus volume buttons on the right side of the 7-inch display won’t cut it and a radio-station tuning knob could help. Ultimately, I’ve found that the larger screen of 2015-2016 models (plus that wonderful second screen at the top of the dash) and the steering wheel controls combine to form an advantage over the previous system in most situations.

如果经常喜欢让你的副驾驶来调节你的音响呢，在7寸显示屏旁边的小小的音量按钮和收音机旋钮就可以发挥作用了。我发现这个大屏幕结合方向盘上的控制器，在大多数情况下，要比上一代好用的多（外加还有一个小的显示屏在中控台的上方）。
原文：
Speaking of screens, one of my favorite CR-V features is a screen that’s unmatched by countless other cars on the market today. As you compare the CR-V’s screen size and infotainment system to others in its class, keep in mind the CR-V also has an additional, smaller screen (called i-MID byHonda) positioned at the very top of the dash—or in other words, the best placement for optimal visibility. That screen is standard on all CR-Vs, and the 7-inch screen below is offered on EX and above. Below the CR-V EX trim, Honda includes a volume knob and physical preset buttons.

谈到屏幕，CR-V上一个我最喜欢的特征是比如今市场的绝大多数车都要强的地方就是多了一个小屏幕。假如你拿CR-V的屏幕尺寸和系统和其他同级别的车去比较。记住，CR-V还有一个额外的更小的屏幕（本田给他命名为i-MID）就在中控台的正上方，是你驾驶过程中的最佳视野。这块小屏幕在CR-V中是全系标配的。那个7英寸的屏幕是从上一代就开始使用的，在这次改款前。本田是设计了一个音量旋钮和一个实体设定按钮的。

The i-MID screen allows drivers to multiscreen info nearly as effectively as fancy luxury cars with 12.3-inch screens. View song titles and artist info on the top screen and the navigation map on the bottom, fuel economy info on the top screen and audio info on the bottom, or any number of other combinations. For extra personalization, as with my last long-term car (the 2015 Kia K900), I sometimes view on the lower, 7-inch screen a wallpaper image I uploaded to the car with useful info on the top screen. This is a level of flexibility you simply can’t find in many other cars in this price range, and it’s something I really value.
翻译：
这套i-MID系统，效果就像那些12.3英寸大屏的豪华车一样可以查看多屏信息。比如上方显示音乐的标题或者歌手的信息等等音乐信息的同时，下方可以显示导航的内容。或者上方显示油耗情况的时候，下方显示音频的信息，抑或是各种随意的个性化组合内容。比起在我上一次长期测试的起亚K900，要方便的多，那时候我还得偶尔低头看一下那个7寸屏幕的壁纸，壁纸内容是我特意上传的一些有用信息。CR-V的这套系统的简单和易用性，在同价位的其他车型中是找不到的，这是我觉得最吸引我的地方。

In future CR-V long-term updates, find out what features are offered in Euro-spec CR-Vs (and if they’re any good) and explore the crossover’s people- and cargo-carrying capabilities.

在未来CR-V的长测中，我们将要看看有哪些特性是仅仅在欧版的CR-V中才有的（如果是好的方向的话）以及探讨一下喜欢这种跨界车型的朋友们最关心的内容--载货的能力。
