Honda is back in the SUV game with the all-new CR-V — a premium 7-seater SUV loaded with features that can make even Fortuner buyers take notice. This SUV blends Honda’s classy design, powerful engine and impressive mileage, making it a smart pick for families wanting luxury and practicality together.
Bold, Upmarket Design
The new CR-V looks like a proper global SUV. It gets a wide chrome grille, sleek full-LED headlamps and a bold front bumper that gives it strong road presence. The sharp character lines, big alloy wheels and wraparound LED tail lamps give it that modern premium feel. The overall design is balanced — muscular but still elegant, just like a Honda should be.
Premium And Spacious Cabin
Step inside and you’ll see why Honda cars are loved for their interiors. The CR-V comes with a dual-tone dashboard, soft-touch panels and premium leather upholstery. The front seats are wide and comfortable with ventilation function. Middle row offers generous legroom while the third row is good for kids or occasional adults. There’s a panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting and a big 9-inch touchscreen with Android Auto & Apple CarPlay for a techy feel.
Powerful Engine Options
Globally, the CR-V comes with multiple powertrain options. In India, Honda is expected to bring a 1.5L turbo petrol and a strong hybrid version. The 1.5 turbo makes around 190 PS and 243 Nm torque — peppy enough for highway runs and city overtakes. The hybrid will pair an electric motor with a petrol engine, delivering great fuel efficiency of around 18-20 kmpl, which is impressive for a big SUV.
Loaded With Features
The CR-V comes fully packed with modern tech:
- Full LED headlamps and tail lamps
- Panoramic sunroof
- Digital driver display
- Wireless charger
- Powered front seats with memory
- 360-degree camera
- ADAS features like adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, collision mitigation braking
- 8-speaker premium sound system
Ride And Handling
Honda cars have always offered a smooth, confident ride. The CR-V’s suspension is tuned for comfort but feels stable on highways too. Steering feels light in city traffic and nicely weighted at high speeds — so it’s easy for long trips and city commutes alike.
Mileage And Maintenance
Even with a turbo petrol, the CR-V promises a respectable mileage of 14-15 kmpl for the petrol version and 18-20 kmpl for the hybrid — pretty solid for a 7-seater SUV. Honda’s service network is trusted, parts are reliable and resale value stays strong.
Price And EMI Details
The new Honda CR-V is expected to be priced around ₹30-35 lakh (ex-showroom). On-road price could touch ₹38-40 lakh for the fully loaded top variant. With a down payment of ₹3-4 lakh, you can take it home at an EMI of around ₹45,000-₹50,000 per month.
Who Should Buy The CR-V
- Families who want a proper 7-seater with a premium feel
- Buyers looking at Fortuner but wanting a more refined, city-friendly drive
- Owners upgrading from a sedan to a luxury SUV
- Drivers who want Honda’s fuss-free reliability and modern hybrid option
