Honda CR-V has always been an evergreen presence among compact SUVs. Since entering the Chinese market, it has gone through four generations of models. The sales volume of each generation of models is not bad, and it has been deeply recognized by domestic consumers. Until recently, CR-V is about to usher in another generation model.

Recently, Honda officially released an official picture of the interior of the new CR-V model. It is reported that the new car will be officially released on July 12. It may be available for sale as soon as September.

Prior to this, the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology had announced the exterior design of the car in advance. So there is no secret or freshness about the appearance for us. This time it is a replacement model, and the styling changes are neither big nor small compared to the current model. The front face is cleaner and neater, with some shadows of the Accord . The slant of the A column will be larger and it will no longer be as sleek as before. The taillight group has also been slightly modified. Although these are small changes, the visual experience seems to be much more durable than the current model.

The focus of the official pictures released this time is the interior. From the picture, the interior of the new CR-V is very similar to the interior of the 11th generation Civic. I don’t know, but you might think it’s the wrong picture. After all, the through-type honeycomb chrome-plated air-conditioning outlet is too recognizable.

However, the new CR-V does not completely copy the interior of the 11th generation Civic. There are still some small changes in the details, otherwise it will appear too casual. The CR-V's gear lever is different from the Civic's, which is closer to the driver's side, but closer to the passenger side. Although this change in distance is not enough to cause inconvenience in shifting gears, visually the gear lever seems to be closer to the driver's side. It will be better.

Buttons such as the electronic handbrake and driving mode selection have been moved to the left, and the storage cup holder seems to be in front of the armrest box. These are probably the most obvious differences between the new CR-V and the Civic. . The wrap-around main driver design and electronic shift lever that were previously reported online do not appear on the CR-V. Generally speaking, the interior of the new CR-V can be said to be very different from the interior of the Civic, with only some changes in details. Following the CR-V, I believe that many Honda models will use this interior layout in the future.

This interior is also much younger and more novel than the interior of the current CR-V. The new CR-V, which is less "greasy", can appeal to young consumers. It is more popular, but it is not clear whether it will not meet the appetite of middle-aged consumers.

In terms of size, the body size of the new car is slightly improved compared to the old model. The measurements are 4703/1866/1680mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2701 (2700) mm. Compared with the current CR-V, the body is 82mm longer and the wheelbase is increased by 40mm. Spacious space has always been the advantage of CR-V, and this increase in size will make this advantage even more prominent.

It is worth mentioning that the declaration information also shows that the new CR-V will also provide a 7-seat version. This is also the first time that CR-V has launched a 7-seat version. This should also be the purpose of increasing the body size.

Although Honda has always been recognized as a "space magician" in the industry, in the final analysis, the CR-V is still a compact SUV. The hard conditions are there. The car is so long and wide, and it is difficult to play tricks. After all, The performance of the third row of many mid-sized SUVs is not very ideal.

Of course, since Honda has done this, it may also surprise us. We might as well look forward to the performance of the third row of CR-V. I believe Honda’s “MM” concept will not Let us down.

In terms of power, it is expected that the new CR-V will not have any changes, and will continue to use the powertrain of the current model. Because judging from the previous rear trailer pictures, the new CR-V still has the "240 TURBO" tail badge. The new CR-V will also be available in pure fuel and i-MMD hybrid versions.

Although the engine model of the new CR-V has been changed to L15BZ, it is essentially the previous 1.5T engine, and the transmission system is matched with a CVT gearbox. It can output a maximum of 193 horsepower and a peak torque of 243N·m. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is about 6.7 liters. The peak torque of

2.0L i-MMD hybrid version is 315N·m, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is about 4.9 liters. Whether it is a fuel version or a hybrid version, its power can already meet the needs and operating conditions of most people. Fuel economy is what CR-V's intended customers value more. The fuel consumption of 6.7 liters per 100 kilometers is already very good for an SUV with a weight of 1.5.

The changes in the new CR-V are more in the exterior and interior. It is expected that its price will not be much different from the current model. Compared with similar competitors such as RAV4 Rongfang and Song PLUS DM-i, CR-V’s newly launched 7-seater models are not available at this stage. The launch of the 7-seater version may be a new model for the new CR-V. By attracting more customers with different needs, the prospects of the new CR-V, which is more youthful, are very promising.

With the improvements in appearance and interior, coupled with CR-V’s long-standing reputation and customers, I believe the sales of the new CR-V will not be too bad. After all, the market recognition is there, and the monthly sales of the current CR-V are It often exceeds 10,000.
