2015 Honda CR-V: Pricing and Features Overview

Overview

The 2015 Honda CR-V is now available in GCC showrooms, with prices starting from 89,900 AED. The UAE launch was recently held in Dubai, showcasing some notable changes.

Design and Performance

The new CR-V features a wide and low stance and is now available in both 2WD and AWD configurations. The engine has been upgraded to direct injection, resulting in approximately 10% increased torque. Additionally, the transmission is now a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), similar to the Nissan X-Trail.

Interior and Technology Upgrades

While the interior space remains largely unchanged from last year, the new style is significantly improved and long overdue. Technology upgrades in the interior include:

• Rear view camera for EX models and above.
• The LaneWatch system, which eliminates right hard shoulder blind spots via video transmission. See our Accord video of LaneWatch.

Future Competitions

It will be interesting to see how the 2015 Honda CR-V compares with the Nissan X-Trail in our test drive. See specs comparison.

Conclusion

Honda is planning to compete aggressively with rivals, with three new model launches expected this year.
