Honda is displaying the 2017 Honda CR-V at Auto
Shanghai 2017. The new Honda CR-V for China will be a product of the
Dongfeng-Honda joint venture.
The 2017 Honda CR-V measures 4,587 mm in length,
1,855 mm in width and 1,689 mm in height, and has a wheelbase of 2,660 mm.
Honda will offer the new generation model in two new models: Sport Turbo and
Sport Hybrid. The Chinese show has marked
the world premiere of the fifth-gen Honda CR-V’s hybrid variant. The current
2.4-litre model will continue, Chinese reports say.
The 2017 Honda CR-V Sport Turbo is powered by a
1.5-litre turbocharged engine that produces 192 PS and 243 Nm of
torque. CR-V Sport Turbo buyers will get a choice of a continuously variable
transmission and a 9-speed automatic transmission, in front-wheel drive and
four-wheel drive configurations.
The 2017 Honda CR-V Sport Hybrid is powered by the
two-motor Honda Sport Hybrid i-MMD (Intelligent Multi-Mode Drive) hybrid system
that utilises the 2.0-litre i-VTEC engine as its primary source of power. The
hybrid model should get an E-CVT as standard. The 2.4-litre engine that will
continue in the new generation model produces 186 PS and 243 Nm of
torque.
The all-new CR-V will go on sale in China in the
second half of 2017.
