2012 Honda CR-V : Official images revealed by JDM Honda Website
| The new 2012 Honda CR-V will be officially debuting at the Los Angeles Auto Show in a couple of weeks. Ahead of the official unveiling, Honda has revealed a few images of the production ready version of the new 2012 CR-V on Honda’s Japanese website. And from the looks of it, the production ready version looks pretty much the same as the 2012 Honda CR-V Concept which was shown earlier. At the front the new 2012 CR-V features a wraparound lower front bumper that is better integrated into the rest of the front fascia than on the current model. The three-bar horizontal front grille is also much more dominant than the current CR-V's, with slimmed-down headlights flanking it on either side. Honda claims the front-end styling changes result in much improved aerodynamics over the current car. Honda is pretty much tight lipped about the engines that will be on offer on the new 2012 CR-V, but if rumors are to be believed Honda will continue to employ its 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, though a new six-speed automatic transmission is expected to be in the works for 2012, which should improve fuel economy and performance. As for Indian launch plans. we expect the new 2012 Honda CR-V to make it to Indian shores by mid-2012, but these plans could be further delayed due to the Thai floods which have also affected the production of the new CR-V. “There are some electrical components that we anticipate a shortage of parts from Thailand,” Honda spokesman Jeffery Smith stated. “We believe that will result in a delay of the CR-V launch, but we’re not sure how long that will be.” For now check out the images from Honda’s Japanese site below :    |
