Honda that launched the new generation Honda CR-V in the UK in late 2012 is planning to launch the vehicle in India in February.
The all new CR-V, which is available in both petrol and diesel engine options in the UK, will only come to India in the petrol version only. If we talk about the dimensions, the new generation CR-V has got shorter and a lesser in length than the outgoing version. For the first time, the CR-V will be available with a choice of both two and four-wheel drive option Compared to the previous generation CR-V, the new model takes on a more assertive and aerodynamic stance with a bolder nose section. The front bumper is joined by a horizontal three-bar grille and deep-set headlights. The lower front bumper is designed to convey SUV capability with a generous approach angle.
The CR-V is based on an all-new platform. The most prominent changes are at the front, where the CR-V features a wraparound lower front bumper that is better integrated into the rest of the front fascia than on the current car.The three-bar horizontal front grille is also much more dominant than the current CR-V’s, with slimmed-down headlights flanking it on either side. Honda claims the front-end styling changes result in much improved aerodynamics over the current car.Sculpted bodywork features on the sides, which also get more pronounced side sills. The large alloy wheels featured on the concept have been exchanged for more practical-looking variants.At the rear, the CR-V will retain the vertical light design of the current car. The Japanese firm is also claiming an all-new, more spacious interior with a lower floor for improved load-carrying ability.
