Petrol 2WD, Diesel 2WD & Diesel 4WD. The SUV
is available in two engine options - 2.0-litre iVTEC petrol and 1.6-litre iDTEC

with a peak torque of 189 Nm at 4,300 rpm. It comes mated to a CVT gearbox and

of 19.5 km/l and 18.3 km/l respectively. The diesel version of the fifth
generation Honda CR-V can be ordered in a 7-seat configuration.
The new, however, should garner
a better response from the SUV buyers owing to its diesel engine and a more
spacious cabin with an optional 7-seat configuration. The new model becomes a
direct rival to the VW Tiguan and the Skoda Kodiaq.
The new Honda CR-V
is available with many premium features, including a panoramic sunroof, 7-inch
