Spy Pictures of new Next-gen Honda CR-V

Honda is readying the new generation CR V soft roader for an Indian launch as is evident from these pictures. Alert reader Vivek Sharma spotted this test mule in Noida.

The next generation CR V made its debut internationally in June, 2011 at the L.A. Auto Show, & is expected to be launched in India in early 2013.

The new CR V features an evolved look with quirky modern details & sound dimensions & proportions. At the rear, the company has retained the vertical tail light design of the current car.

We drove the car for our October 2012 issue & found that the interiors, just like the exteriors, have adopted an evolutionary change. The car has plenty of boot space & the large cargo compartment becomes enormous when you fold down the rear seat.

Honda will use an updated version of its 2.4 litre in line four engine that is smooth & responsive. The engine puts out 185bhp & 22.5kgm of torque & is mated to a five speed auto ‘box.

At launch, the CR V will only have a petrol option. Honda has said that a diesel engine is in the pipeline, but isn’t expected immediately.

Honda is expected to launch the car with a price tag of around Rs 28 lakh.
