Honda has announced pricing and specifications ahead of the July arrival of the all-new 2018 Honda CR-V.
The fifth-generation Honda CR-V, starting at $30,690 (excluding on-roads), will feature an upgraded engine in the form of the 140kW VTEC Turbo engine with a CVT.
“Our customers consistently tell us what a joy their CR-Vs are to live with and the fifth generation builds on this reputation with new levels of style, versatility, technology and value,” said Honda Australia Director, Mr. Stephen Collins.
Adding to the list of upgrades are smart keyless entry, active noise control, dual-zone climate control, alloy wheels, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but it doesn’t stop there. The Honda CR-V reincarnate has a lower and wider stance on the road.
In an attempt to appeal to growing families, the Honda CR-V is now offered as a 7-seat model as the range, offering both front- and all-wheel drive, has been simplified to a line-up of five grades.
“The all-new CR-V represents brilliant value, especially for customers looking for a premium SUV experience for under $35,000. In fact, the entry VTi grade in the new CR-V range more closely matches the previous generation VTi-S, while adding $3,700 of value over its predecessor,” Mr. Collins said.
