Honda Malaysia has two fresh Mugen concepts on show
at the Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show (KLIMS). We’ve seen the Jazz
Mugen, and then there’s the CR-V Mugen concept, which gives the fifth-gen RW a
subtle makeover.
The Mugen treatment adds on
bodykit styling elements, with the 1.5 litre Turbo variant getting a lower
bumper extension and Mugen badge on the upper part of the grille. The sides
also get lower body coloured extensions, and the rear also features a Mugen
badge.
Unlike the Jazz, the CR-V continues to ride with the
same 18-inch alloys as found on the standard car. No mechanical changes either.
The CR-V show car features the new Passion Red Pearl shade as first seen on the
facelifted HR-V RS.
Word is that the colour is also likely to make its
way on to the SUV in series form, and the likelihood of a CR-V Mugen variant
appearing is, as we are told, quite probable. If that’s the case, it’s quite
likely the red will be limited to the edition.
As it is with the KLIMS Jazz, there are no changes
to the interior of the SUV, but the production Mugen will not just come with
exterior add-ons – expect some elements to be changed, and there will be unique
Mugen trim.
