2017 Honda CR-V
Here we
present the very first photos of the 2017 Honda CR-V. That’s right, this is the
next-generation SUV that will replace the current fourth-gen “Comfortable
Run-about Vehicle” that has been a sales success in Malaysia and various
markets around the world.
The prototype here
appears to wear the production body and light units, giving us a very clear
look at what’s in store for us next year. As expected, the front will wear
Honda’s latest corporate look, with a big open grille flanked by full LED
headlamps, making up the “Solid Wing Face.”
You’ll see a contoured
body with an upswept window line past the C-pillar. It’s at the rear where the
CR-V looks to adopt a more adventurous design approach. The wrap-around
taillights protrude out of the bodywork rather prominently, while the trademark
vertical elements are still present.
Two (small) exhaust pipes can be seen,
similar the 1.5 litre VTEC Turbo-powered 2016 Honda Civic. Could the next CR-V
get a turbocharged engine too? That’s very likely the case, as earlier reports
have suggested that the 2017 CR-V will be built on the latest Civic’s base,
with a downsized forced-induction motor under the hood.
It’s also a given that the new model
will be larger than before, which is apparent here. Meanwhile, Honda Australia
has recently indicated that the next CR-V may get a seven-seat option. If that
is so, it’s likely to mirror the similarly-sized Nissan X-Trail’s 5+2 seating
layout rather than having seven proper seats.
