The next-generation Honda CR-V is just around the corner and to stroke some life into the outgoing model, Honda Australia has launched two special edition variants of the popular SUV. The first of these new variants is the CR-V Black Edition. It is based on the CR-V VTi and comes standard with a number of features usually only available on higher-end models. These include LED headlights and Active Cornering Lights, heated front seats, leather-appointed seat trim, and 18-inch alloy wheels.
Fitting of the name, the CR-V Black
Edition adds gloss black alloy wheels, smoked headlights, piano black bumper
garnishes and dark trivalent chromium accents. A handful of special touches
have also been made to the interior. These include leather-appointed front seat
trim with an embroidered Black Edition logo as well as piano black on the
steering wheel, infotainment screen bezel, climate control surround, gear shift
surround, and door handle surrounds. Dark wooden accents are also found through
the center console, dashboard, and door trims.
Customers will be available to purchase
the CR-V Black Edition in either Crystal Black or, oddly, Platinum White. The
second new variant is the CR-V VTi 7 +Luxe. It is based on the CR-V VTi 7 and
boasts a number of upgraded features, including leather-appointed seat trim,
heated front seats, and an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with
two-position memory. This new model is available in Ignite Red, Cosmic Blue,
Lunar Silver, Meteoroid Grey, and Platinum Grey.
Local prices for the Honda CR-V VTi 7
+Luxe start at AU$ 43,700 (US$ 30,226) drive away, while the Black Edition is
available from AU$ 44,600 (US$ 30,849) drive away.
