Japanese auto giant, Honda that launched the new generation Honda CR-V in the UK in October is now all set to roll out the similar vehicle in India as well. We brought you the official images and details about the car back in September 2012, now it seems that the launch is quite near. Our sources have confirmed that the existing CR-V has been officially discontinued, and the 2013 CR-V will come in March 2013. And what has made us believe on this further is the fact that Honda Cars India has removed the current generation CR-V from its official website now, which means the car has already been discontinued and soon their will be the next generation Honda CR-V.
The next generation CR-V has certainly got better in most departments than its predecessor be it the quality, refinement or practicality. But there will still not be the diesel version of the vehicle in India, so India might have to wait for another year to get the diesel CR-V. Pricing too has not been announced by the company as of now, we are expecting it to be between Rs. 20 and 24 lakh, which will make it an ideal competitor of Outlander and BMW X1 Petrol.Dimension wise, the new Generation CR-V get shorter and lesser in length than the outgoing version. For the first time Honda CR-V will be available with a choice of two and four-wheel drive option. Moreover 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.
