Honda has announced details of the 2010 CR-V, scheduled to go on sale in January next year.
The new-look CR-V will get a new diesel engine and automatic gearbox for diesel models.
For 2010, the CR-V will receive a mild styling upgrade, with a new front bumper and grille, a revised rear bumper, and colour coded bumpers on EX grades.
There are also newly-designed 17-inch and 18-inch alloys and upgraded fabrics and plastics inside, says Honda.
A new audio console design has also been introduced, while improved sound deadening around the engine and cabin makes for a quieter ride.
The revised version of the CR-V will continue to be built at Honda of the UK Manufacturing in Swindon, where British workers proudly produce the SUV for over 60 countries.
Honda’s 148bhp 2.2-litre i-DTEC diesel engine will also be available in the new CR-V, developing torque of 258lb-ft at 2000rpm through a manual transmission or new five-speed autobox.
In the 2010 MY CR-V, SE grades include 17-inch alloy wheels, air conditioning, cloth upholstery and power heated door mirrors. Over and above this, ES grades get 18-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels, auto dimming mirror, cruise control, double deck cargo space, dual-zone air conditioning, electric folding mirrors and headlight washers, front and rear parking sensors, front fog lights, half leather Alcantara heated seats, leather steering wheel and gear knob, unique interior inlay trims and USB connector for iPod connectivity.
Top of the range EX grades will get an 8-way driver power seat and electric lumbar support, an alloy step garnish, HID Xenon headlights, full body coloured bumpers, full leather upholstery with heated front seats, panoramic glass roof, rain sensor and auto headlight on function, reverse tilt mirror, DVD satellite navigation with premium audio, 6 CD changer and subwoofer in addition to the ES specification.
Three new paint colours are available for 2010: Premium White Pearl, Urban Titanium and Alabaster Silver.
Five other metallic paints are available – Crystal Black, Polished Metal, Sparkle Grey, Deep Bronze and Deep Sapphire Blue. Milano Red is the solid colour available.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a radar-controlled cruise control function which maintains a set distance to the vehicle in front, while Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) predicts collisions and warns the driver, before applying braking and retracting the front seatbelts if the situation becomes critical. These systems are optional on EX models.
Full specifications, pricing and the exact on sale date will be announced later in the year.
