New Honda CR-V promises more style, more comfort and more fuel efficiency.
Honda will launch the fourth-generation CR-V here on February 12.
Honda’s next-generation CRV is based on an all-new platform and comes with a blend of both quirky yet modern details. The new car is slightly shorter than the one it replaces, but thanks to some clever interior packaging, it offers a wider and more spacious cabin with more storage spaces.
Just like the current generation CR-V, two engine choices will be on offer – a 2.0-litre petrol and a 185bhp 2.4-litre petrol, mated to a six-speed manual or a five-speed automatic gearbox. Both engines have been tweaked for better fuel economy and performance. The smaller motor will be offered with a six-speed manual and a five-speed automatic. The 2.4-litre motor will only be offered as an auto and will come with Honda's on-demand four-wheel drive system.
Drivers of the 2.4-litre also get paddle shifters for a more controlled drive. The top-end AVN variant of the CR-V also features an electric sunroof and a 6.1-inch multimedia information display that is used to control the audio, video and navigation. The rear view camera will be very handy and is standard across the range. The CR-V also boasts a button-activated Econ-mode for a more fuel efficient drive. Leather-wrapped seats, steering-mounted audio controls, cruise control and one touch folding rear seats are standard across the range.
Honda will also offer two styling packages for the CR-V. Apart from chrome garnishes and scuff plates for the door sills, the Inspire package also offers a tailgate spoiler and sculpted running boards. The Elegance package offers a healthier smattering of chrome, but does without the spoiler and the running board. What makes it distinctive is its honeycomb grille.

But more importantly, Honda will now assemble the new CR-V in India. Considering the current CR-V is a full import and has made pricing it competitively difficult for the carmaker, the local assembly could translate into a significant reduction in terms of price.
