Honda_CR-V_special_edition_germany - 1Honda_CR-V_special_edition_germany - 2Honda_CR-V_special_edition_germany - 3

Honda announced a new special edition CR-V in Germany. Before you assume this is just with leather seats, badges and special paint, let me tell you this is an all-new model.

Because until now the CR-V was offered with the 150 hp two-liter engine, and this special edition Honda CR-V comes with a 2.4-liter version with 166 hp.

That’s not it – the special edition is also fitted with an automatic transmission. The nearly 30 Nm torque advantage will make it easy to drive in the city. The 18-inch alloy wheels are eye-catching.

New things on the 2.4-liter special edition Honda CR-V -

  • Xenon headlights with automatic washing system.
  • interior draped in leather with heated seats
  • dual-zone automatic climate controls
  • multifunction steering wheel
  • cruise control
  • parking sensors for front and rear
  • MP3 player and six CD changer

The special edition CR-V 2.4 Exclusive Edition costs 35,400 euros.
