Honda CR-V, a product that shares many features with the Honda Civic is still not the best seller or ‘the’ SUV in the Indian market.
To make it a more tempting buy, Modulo and Mugen are offering accessories to both the US-spec and UK-spec 2010 Honda C-RVs.
The new CR-V on the block will feature new front and rear bumpers which are definitely more sporty, new grille and 19 inch alloys.
Along with those goodies, you also get a new exhaust system, side skirts, roof spoiler plus a pressure monitoring system by Mugen.
You must check the pictures after the break to understand the additions.
The Honda CR-V is a huge hit in the United States. Such is this smash hit that Honda is afraid to change anything in the car, and hence made some mild and unnoticeable changes and calls it the “new Honda CR-V.”
You need a trained eye to spot the differences. The honeycomb grille replaces the horizontal slabs, a reshaped bumper and new fog lamp housing are additional changes. Under the hood, the goods are the same. On the inside, you can expect some extra gadgetry but the well laid out dash and furniture would not get the nix this time.
The “new” CR-V will be announced at the 2010 Frankfurt Motor Show that starts next month.
The refreshed Honda CR-V with new bumpers and grille has been set afloat in the Italian market. Dubbed the CR-V Action Sky and CR-V Action Trend, the new variants feature nothing more than new bumpers and the fog lights pushed a little back has these two parallel plastic slabs that look like an afterthought to me.
Level of equipment has gone slightly up and the addition is worthy of mention. A new radar system mounted up front judges if the car is going to collide with an obstruction in front and brakes automatically. This system is similar to Mercedes Benz‘s Distronic Plus system which has saved innumerable lives.
The debate of the automatic braking system subtracting driver involvement is beyond the scope of this blog post.
The face of the Honda CR-V can suitably be described as being similar to a white’s tree frog post this minor cosmetic surgery.
