Honda will launch the fifth generation CR-V diesel this festive season and that too in seven-seat configuration. The car was showcased at the 2018 Auto Expo in Delhi and was announced as one of the four major launches that Honda would undertake this financial year.
The 2018 CR-V features a new design, cabin and is bigger in every respect as compared to the previous generation model. The highlight for the Indian market is that this generation of the CR-V will be a seven-seat model and will for the first time be offered with diesel power.
The diesel engine is the 1.6-litre four-cylinder unit producing 120bhp/300Nm and will be offered with a nine-speed automatic.
