Dongfeng Honda will launch a new generation of CR-V this year. Recently, this car finally officially debuted in the Ministry of industry and information technology. Because it is a new generation model, it has changed greatly compared with the cash model. First, the size has evolved comprehensively, the length, width and height of the new car is 4703 1866 1680mm, and the wheelbase is 2701mm . In contrast, the cash model is 4621 1855 1679mm, and the wheelbase is 2661mm. Coupled with Honda's famous ability of "stealing space", the space of the new generation CR-V will be more abundant.
In terms of appearance, different from cash, the front of the new car is more concise. The interior of the polygonal air inlet grille is a black medium mesh, which is connected with the headlights on both sides, effectively broadening the visual width. The lower edge of the engine compartment cover is a chrome plated trim strip, which also extends to both sides to enhance the sense of integration.
Due to the abandonment of the chrome trim strip in the bumper area, the new car appears more exquisite. It is not like "teeth and claws" like cash, which can give a good impression on the first impression.
The tail also changes greatly. The most noteworthy is the tail lamp shape. Although it still uses the outline of cash, its internal shape has been redesigned to be more sharp and exquisite . At the same time, the tail also discards the very flashy chrome trim strip, so the whole tail is very concise and beautiful.
In fact, after reading the headlights and taillights, the first thing I think of is Volvo. Yes, Honda's design language, especially the front and rear headlights, has many similarities with it.
In addition, we all know that Honda designers like to use chrome trim most, which is particularly obvious in the eighth generation Accord, but too much is better than too much. Appropriate chrome trim can improve the beauty, and too much can only cause visual pollution, so the emergence of the new generation CR-V really changes the style of Honda in the past .
The interior of the new car is unknown, but it can be vaguely seen from the rear window that it is equipped with a suspended central control screen, which is expected to keep pace with the new generation Civic.
In terms of power, the declared version is gasoline version, equipped with a 1.5T engine with a maximum power of 142 kW, matched with CVT gearbox, providing front drive and timely 4WD . Of course, hybrid models composed of 2.0L engine will also appear.
As a joint venture SUV with the highest sales volume, CR-V can still rank at the top of the list every month in the face of the fierce wave of electrification, which shows its high popularity. However, there are many challengers. Honda still needs to show enough sincerity to survive in the current competitive environment.
