​When talking about playing piano, we will subconsciously think of Lang Lang; when talking about playing basketball, we will inevitably think of Yao Ming , and when talking about urban SUVs, CR-V obviously cannot be ignored.

Since Dongfeng Honda was officially introduced to domestic sales in May 2004, CR-V has been around for 18 years. Over the years, CR-V has changed a lot, but what remains unchanged is people's recognition of it, and sales are the best proof.

When we look at the sales data in August 2022, we will find that Dongfeng Honda CR-V ranks third in SUV sales with 23,441 units, and the 2021 model on sale was launched in July 2020.

Just recently, the new generation of CR-V has been officially launched. The performance of the 2021 model is still like this. What kind of sales performance will the new generation CR-V with comprehensively improved product strength? Today, let’s talk about this car together.

Compared with the current model, the appearance changes of the new generation model are very obvious. Its air intake grille has been further expanded, the grille strip in the middle is more complex, and the corresponding headlight group has become narrower and longer. In general, the front face is a bit less round and sharper than the cash model.

side design is an important reference for distinguishing between replacement or facelift, because no model will make drastic reforms to the side when facelifted. The side changes of the new CR-V are very obvious. A straight waistline extends from the front fender to the rear fender, connecting the front and rear light groups together. The shapes of the window frames are also significantly different. The B-pillar and C-pillar also adopt a blackened design.

Starting from the first generation model, the CR-V uses vertical taillights, embedded on both sides of the rear cover glass, and since then, it has become one of the iconic designs of CR-V, and it has also been passed down on the new CR-V.

Of course, this does not prevent the designer from making changes in the details. Let’s stand directly behind the taillights on the left as an example. It looks like a combination of three “ㄥ” shapes, and the lighting effect is very cool. At the lower encirclement, two exhausts on both sides are retained. The interior part of

, the new CR-V adopts a completely different design from the current model. Of course, owners of the 2023 Civic may find it very familiar, because the new CR-V has also been replaced with this latest family design. Of course, the center console part is still obviously different from the Civic. The most obvious thing is that the gear lever of the new CR-V is on the right side of the center console, while the Civic is on the left side, and the cup holder and other parts are also different.

I personally prefer this kind of straight instrument panel, but I have to say that although the central control screen size of the new CR-V has been increased to 10.1 inches, it seems to be a little small now that the "large screens are emerging in a lot of ways".

As we all know, Chinese people generally like models with large space, so the current model generation size does not increase, and I feel embarrassed to call it "brand new", which shows how serious the " inverted " in the automobile market is. If you continue to roll like this, the length of the compact model may exceed 5 meters in a few years.

Everyone operates this way. Even though the brand new CR-V has a very high status in the world, I feel embarrassed to be independent. The length, width and height of the new CR-V are 4703/1866/1680mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2701mm, which is a comprehensive improvement compared to the previous generation, especially the length and wheelbase.

Seeing this, some readers may say, "Is it useful to increase the size?" Regarding this question, the new CR-V gives the answer, and it starts to offer seven-seater models! There is not a seven-seater compact SUV, but you can count it with one hand, which will undoubtedly become a major selling point of the new CR-V.

In terms of configuration, the new CR-V is also unambiguous. Digital keys, frameless HUDs, AR real-life navigation, 12-speaker BOSE audio and other configurations are also present in such a joint venture SUV.

Interestingly, there is no big change in the power part of the new CR-V. It will still launch two types of models powered by fuel version and oil mixed version. The fuel version uses a 1.5T engine, with a maximum power of 192 horsepower and a maximum torque of 2243 Nm. The data alone is the same as the current model.

Interestingly, the new CR-V will also launch a plug-in hybrid model, which is officially called "e:PHEV", which is undoubtedly good news for some people who are in first-tier cities and are troubled by restricted license plates, especially in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, where Japanese car audiences are large.

currently on sale, only 1.5T fuel version models, with an official guide price of 185,900-249,900 yuan, including no manual transmission models, and all matched CVT gearboxes.

Aside from the manual transmission models, the starting price of the new CR-V has also increased slightly. Of course, the 185,900 model will also be much better than the entry-level version of the 2021 model. With a comprehensive renewal, perhaps the sales of CR-V will be higher in the next few months.
