Honda was very cautious while releasing their latest teaser image of 2012 CR-V Crossover. But 2012 Honda CR-V patent drawings have been leaked internet well ahead of it’s actual launch. The latest image collection brings more details about the new CR-V’s exterior design aspects. New Honda CR-V looks like a more matured car with nice mix of lines and curves. The model featured in the sketches looks like more refined one and it can go into Honda’s production line anytime from now. The other factor to be noted is new Honda CR-V looks bigger than outgoing model.
The front grille design is completely new and matches to the character of the vehicle. The headlights are narrower than current CR-V and looks like a line of LEDs have been studded in it. The front bumper, fog lamp housings have undergone redesign exercise.
New Honda CR-V’s rear design resembles to Volvo XC60 SUV but once we go into details we can easily differentiate both the models. Still we are not clear about 2012 Honda CR-V’s seat configuration. There are unconfirmed reports suggesting that new Honda CR-V will have seven seat configuration. But we need to wait for official launch for confirming this reports.
Under the hood Honda may continue with current 2.4ltr engine but with minor tweaks for better fuel economy. The engine may get a five manual speed and a six speed auto box during new CR-V’s commercial launch.
By end of 2012 Honda will launch new CR-V in the US. By first half of 2012 European markets will get glimpse of new CR-V.
In India Honda CR-V facing extinction and we think Honda Siel may consider previewing new CR-V during upcoming New Delhi Auto Expo. Company may go ahead with launch plans after gauging prospective customer response.
