Honda CR-V Concept




The fourth generation of the Japanese manufacturer's compact SUV, which has already gone on sale in North America, Japan and other parts of the world, won't be available in Europe until the coming autumn.

Unsurprisingly, it looks identical to its North American twin save for a couple of details, like the mesh surround of the front fog lights and the “fin” antenna instead of the U.S. car’s conventional unit.

In the U.S, the CR-V is powered by a 2.4-liter V-TEC four cylinder gasoline engine producing 185 HP that comes paired to a five-speed auto gearbox and is available in both front- and all-wheel drive versions.

Honda has not yet revealed specs of the European version though we expect the company's new 118-horsepower 1,6-liter turbodiesel to be among the choices offered.

The highlight of the Japanese firm's display will be the Honda NSX Concept that features a mid-mounted V6 and a hybrid all-wheel drive system. The production version will arrive within the next three years.


Also targeted to the European market is Honda's new 1.6-liter turbo diesel engine. The company claims that it is the lightest and most fuel efficient engine in its class, emitting less than 100 g/km of CO2. It will find its way under the hood of several Honda models including the new Civic hatchback.
