Honda Australia has announces the local pricing structure for the all-new fourth-generation CR-V. The model that defined the compact-SUV segment has been comprehensively redesigned and will be on-sale in Australia in mid-November. The new Honda CR-V will be priced from $27,490* for the 2WD manual VTi, whilst the 4WD versions begin from $32,790* for the 4WD automatic VTi.

Over five and a half million CR-Vs have been sold across the world since its introduction in 1995, with over 133,000 sold in Australia. This all-new fourth-generation model builds on the success of its predecessors with even greater quality, practicality and refinement.

Ryouji Nakagawa, the Large Project Leader (LPL) for the CR-V commented: “The first-generation set out to combine the best elements of a car and an SUV. For the new CR-V, we have now achieved a perfect, centred balance between the efficiency of a car and the functionality and security of an SUV. In doing so, we have created a model that is efficient, versatile and capable.”

For the first time in Australia, the CR-V will be available in both two and four-wheel drive.

The new model takes on a more aggressive and aerodynamic stance with deeper sculpting of the bodylines and a bolder nose section. The interior design concept for the new CR-V continues the man-maximum, machine-minimum philosophy. Care has also been taken to achieve a significant reduction in the engine and road noise entering the cabin.

Honda’s engineers have worked tirelessly to hone every aspect of the fourth-generation model. Improved aerodynamics and sophisticated electronics combine to achieve significant reductions in fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. The new CR-V is also equipped with an ECON button as part of the Eco Assist™ system. When activated, ECON mode alters the mapping of the drive-by-wire throttle system to ensure a smooth increase in torque and greater fuel economy.
