2012 Honda CR-V Concept Reveals Dynamic New Styling of Future Model
Sophisticated direction of versatile compact SÚV exhibits distinctive and bold new look for long-time §egmènt leader The 2012 Honda CR-V Concept provides the first official glimpse of the styling direction for the all-new, fourth-generation CR-V set to go on sale in the Únited States by the end of the year, American Honda Motor Co., Inc., announced today.
'The 2012 CR-V Concept introduces the exterior styling for the more sophisticated and dynamic design of the upcoming production model,' said John Mendel, executive vice president of sales for American Honda. 'Long considered the benchmark for packaging and user-friendly design in the small SÚV §egmènt, the all-new CR-V will offer an added dimension of style, amazing interior versatility and Honda's latest technologies for convenience and refinement.'
The CR-V Concept embraces a distinctive and bold styling direction for the top-selling1 SÚV in the Únited States. Compared to the current-generation CR-V, the concept model takes on a more aggressive stance wîth deeper sculpting of the body lines and a bolder front fascia. The front bumper's smooth-flowing lines are highlighted by a horizontal three-bar grille and deeply set multi-reflector headlights. The lower front bumper wraps smartly upward to convey SÚV capability wîth a generous approach angle, while the lower front bumper design now integrates more smoothly wîth the fascia for improved aerodynamics.
The CR-V's signature vertical rear taillights remain for 2012 wîth a more three-dimensional style that wraps further into the design of the vehicle. The CR-V Concept's large 5-spoke machined alloy wheels and bold fender flares emphasize the vehicle's dynamic presence and capability.
The all-new 2012 CR-V will improve upon the current model in a variety of ways, and will feature a more fuel-efficient engine and reduced body weight. In addition to all-new exterior styling, the 2012 CR-V will have an all-new interior wîth a more accommodating and spacious design wîth a lower cargo floor.
Currently in the fifth year of its model cycle, the CR-V continues to sell at a record pace. The 2011 CR-V was among the highest-ranked vehicles in its §egmènt for initial quality in J.D. Power & Associates' 2011 Initial Quality Study (IQS), where it finished second to the Honda Element in the compact SÚV §egmènt. The CR-V is sold globally in more than 160 countries throughout North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Africa. In the Ú.S., CR-V is manufactured in Ohio at the East Liberty Auto Plant of Honda of America Manufacturing, Inc., using domestic and globally sourced parts. The East Liberty Auto Plant earned a Silver Award for outstanding quality in the recently released J.D. Power 2011 Initial Quality Study. The 2012 CR-V Concept will be on display at the Orange County International Auto Show in Anaheim, California, in September.Source - Honda
