2017 Honda CR-V (Rendering)
The fifth generation CR-V,
said to arrive later this year or in early 2017, is currently under development
in the USA, and was spied testing for the first time, in its production body,
just last month.
Based on spy shots, Motor1 reader Huang
has created a rendering to show his depiction of the next-gen 2017 Honda CR-V.
The 2017 Honda CR-V’s front-end gets the
new family look seen on the 2016 Honda Civic. The profile, save for the
dimensional changes, doesn’t appear to have changed much. The rear-end features
new L-shaped tail lamps reminiscent of the Acura SUV-X concept. The 2017 Honda
CR-V is said to have a three-row version, just like the Hyundai Grand Santa Fe
variant. To accommodate the third row seat, the CR-V’s wheelbase will be
stretched by 80 mm.
The fifth-gen Honda CR-V will be based
on the tenth-gen Honda Civic’s platform and is expected to be offered with 1.5-
and 2.0-litre VTEC TURBO engines, and a plug-in hybrid variant. The 1.6-litre
i-DTEC may continue being offered in Europe with necessary revisions.
A diesel engine option could be on offer
in India too, where the all-new CR-V is said to have up to 65% localisation and
is expected to be launched within a year of its global debut.
