One of the world's best selling SUVs gets its midlife update.

Here is a short video of the refreshed 2015 Honda CR-V (American spec model), which will go on sale in India next year. The updated CR-V started sales in the U.S. this month, and European deliveries are slated to commence in early 2015.

The front fascia of the new CR-V gets redesigned LED daytime running lights, the 'Solid Wing Face' grille, a new front bumper with a larger skidplate and new foglight enclosures.

The rear end of the SUV is given LED taillights, a chrome strip for the bootlid, a mildly tweaked registration plate enclosure and a new bumper with a larger skidplate.

Inside, Honda has given the CR-V a new 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and new features like a power tailgate and a 10-way electrically-adjustable driver seat.
