New Honda CR-V

Honda Siel Cars India Ltd (HSCI) has launched a new version of the CR-V. The new CR-V comes with a new two-step front grille, a re-sculpted hood & front bumper design and oval fog lamps. The new rear bumper further accentuates the stability of the car. The new CR-V is 45 mm longer than its predecessor and measures 4575 mm in length while maintaining the same width, height, ground clearance and head clearance. A new 10-spoke alloy wheel design replaces the previous 7-spoke alloy wheel design. The new wheel design gives the car a more aggressive stance and enhances its sporty looks.


Interior improvements focus on new features and functionality. The occupants’ safety has been further enhanced as the new CR-V comes equipped with six airbags - Dual SRS Airbags, Side-Curtain airbags and Side Airbags with Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS). The music system features a new USB port in the upper glove compartment. The new CR-V will be available in two new colours – Opal Sage Metallic and Premium Mystic Night Pearl along with the existing range of Polished Metal, Alabaster Silver, Crystal Black Pearl and Premium White.

The Honda CR-V was first introduced in India in July 2003. The all new 3rd generation CR-V was introduced in India in November 2006 which offered its customers a distinctive combination of ‘the comfort of a sedan with the thrills of a SUV’. HSCI launched the 2.0L 2WD Honda CR-V in February 2008 which was a more agile vehicle with even sportier handling. The new lighter engine gives good fuel efficiency without compromising on performance. Ever since its launch in 2003, nearly 12,500 units of the CR-Vs have been sold cumulatively in the country. The company has sold nearly 7,000 units of the 3rd generation model.
