Here’s everything you need to know about the new Honda CR-V variants
The petrol variants (1.5L S, 1.5L E, and 1.5L V AWD) feature the same 1.5L VTEC turbo engine as the previous model. The engine output remains at 193 PS (190 hp) and 243 Nm, with minor revisions for improved acceleration response and reduced noise. Performance-wise, the base S takes 9.7 seconds to do the 0-100 km/h sprint, while the E is a fraction slower at 9.8 seconds. Meanwhile, the V AWD takes 10.4 seconds to accomplish the same feat. All three petrol versions have the same maximum top speed of 200 km/h.
The hybrid variant is powered by an Intelligent Multi-Mode Drive (i-MMD) system, similar to the Civic e:HEV RS. It combines an electric motor and a 2.0-liter naturally-aspirated Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine, acting primarily as a generator.
The exterior features LED auto headlights, LED daytime running lights, front LED sequential turn signals, and LED rear combination lights across all variants. Additional features include body-coloured door handles, a shark fin antenna, and various enhancements in higher trims.
Inside, the CR-V boasts a modernized dashboard similar to the Civic FE, including a clean-running dash fascia, a three-spoke steering wheel, full-width mesh-covered air vents, and a freestanding infotainment touchscreen, which on the base S is a seven-inch Display Audio unit.
Additionally, you’ll find standard items and features, including remote engine start, walk-away auto lock function, dual-zone air-conditioning with rear AC vents, cruise control, mechanically adjustable rear seats (sliding and seat back tilt, the latter offering eight angle positions), and, on the petrol units, a 7.0-inch TFT semi-digital instrument display with an analogue speedometer.
The new Honda CR-V variants are available in five colours: Canyon River Blue Metallic, Ignite Red Metallic, Platinum White Pearl (a RM600 option), Lunar Silver Metallic, and Crystal Black Pearl. A Modulo body kit package is also available for the SUV.
