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 Fit (Jazz) Sport model is not available in India, Honda is mulling over the possibility of introducing the 1.5-liter engine variant in India next year.
In the U.S though, you could buy the Fit off a Honda showroom. Now add to that some flashy jewelery in the form of Honda and Mugen parts which makes the Fit sportier and more fun (and pricey as well)
Honda’s long-time racing team and performance parts supplier, Mugen, has introduced a list of accessories.
Mugen Accessories for Honda Fit/Jazz
- front sport grille
- front, side and rear spoilers
- 16-inch, black-metal coated wheels
- mufflers
- sports pedals
- shift knob
- quick shifter
- mirror covers
- oil filter cap
Japanese tuning legend Mugen might just lay its hands on the Honda Civic and what might come out of this is anyone’s guess, a sheer powerhouse Mugen Honda Civic RR expected to rip the roads off.
Mugen will be striping extra weight off the car and boost the power to 240hp that pretty much will do the trick, if not then the big 18-inch alloys, upgraded Brembo brakes, Recaro sports seats and specifically re-tuned suspension ought to do it.
Of course all this high end tweaking doesn’t come cheap. The Mugen Honda Civic RR is expected to cost Rs. 27 lakhs. But befoe all we Indians get excited about this, it will be sold only in the European market.
Like how the 270 bhp Accord made it to India, the Mugen-treated Honda Civic could serve as a limited edition. After cars like the Honda Civic Hybrid, we infer the company isn’t necessarily against experimenting, which gives us confidence to say there is a chance for such a car.
With BMW selling its M models in the country and Mercedes with its complete AMG lineup, why can’t Honda ship Mugen cars and cash in on the performance market?
