The New 2012 Honda CR-V Concept Makes First Appearance

The 2012 Honda CR-V Concept made its public debut in the Orange County Worldwide Auto Show in Anaheim, Calif., on September 22, and introduced the styling direction for that all-new, 4th-generation CR-V. The 2012 CR-V will be on sale within the U.S. through the end of the 2011 and will debut in LA Auto Show in November.

"The 2012 CR-V Concept strongly hints at the more dynamic and refined look of the upcoming model," stated John Mendel, executive VP of sales for American Honda. “As the best-selling SUV in each of the past four years, the 2012 CR-V promises to build on its highly successful formula with even more style, innovative features and higher fuel economy."

The CR-V Concept holds a unique and bold styling direction for that top-selling number 1 car in the U.S. In comparison to the present-generation CR-V, the ideal model assumes a far more aggressive stance with much deeper toning from the body lines along with a more bold front fascia. The front bumper's smooth-flowing line is outlined with a horizontal three-bar grille and deeply set multi-reflector car headlights. The low front bumper systems smartly upward to convey the vehicle’s capacity of having a generous approach to position, as the lower front bumper design now combines more easily using the fascia for enhanced aerodynamics.

The CR-V's signature vertical rear taillights remain for 2012 having a more three-dimensional style that wraps further the appearance of the vehicle. The CR-V Concept's large 5-spoke machined alloy wheels and bold fender flares stress the vehicle's dynamic presence and capacity.

The all-new 2012 CR-V will enhance the present model in a number of ways, and can have a more fuel-efficient engine and reduced bodyweight. Additionally to any or all-new exterior styling, the 2012 CR-V has an exciting-new interior a more accommodating and spacious design.
