Latest concept from Honda CR-V
The concept of the new Honda CR-V, 2012 was presented to the public for the first time at the International Auto Show in Anaheim Orange County, California, showing the style guidelines you should bring this vehicle, which comes completely renovated in its fourth generation. What we saw in Orange County is just the concept, but from it, we get a clear idea of ??the CR-V to debut in November at the Los Angeles Auto Show and will reach showrooms by the end of the year.
To tell the people at Honda, the CR-V concept shows clearly the most dynamic and sophisticated appearance of the vehicle is coming. We’re talking top-selling SUV in each of the last four years, and that is why for them it is essential that the new model will build on the success of the formula that is succeeding, but with better style, features truly innovative and highest performance in terms of fuel consumption.
If we compare this concept of the CR-V with the model currently on the market, it can be concluded that the design is somewhat more aggressive with the body lines more clearly defined and considerably bolder front facade. The traditional and vertical taillights, almost a trademark of the model are still present in the 2012 model, with a three-dimensional style that involves even more in the complete design of the vehicle. The concept of the CR-V highlights the huge wheels 5-spoke forged alloy, which together with the new fenders emphasize the dynamic presence and capacity of the popular versatile SUV. Honda insists that the new CR-V is better than the current model in a range of issues, weigh less and will bring a more efficient engine in terms of fuel consumption. And promises that the new exterior styling also have a more functional design of its interior space will also more comfortable.
Already in the fifth year of the cycle, the current model of the CR-V continues to set the pace of sales in its segment. Also earned top marks in the survey Initial Quality Study by JD Power & Associates in 2011, which ranked second behind only the now discontinued Honda Element in the compact SUV segment.
