It was initially speculated that the upcoming Honda CR-V will be coming in with a new exterior design that will be based on the Honda Pilot. However, it looks like instead of the Honda Pilot, the Honda CR-V will coming in with a new design that is based on the equally popular Honda Civic.
The Honda Civic was given a new exterior design and based on the response it got, we are not surprised that Honda would decide to go for the Honda Civic instead of the Honda Pilot at the end of the day. As good as the Pilot looks, the young and fun design on the Honda Civic leaves a lot to be desired.
It is said that the Honda CR-V will also come riding on the platform of the Honda Civic. We do not know what Honda will be fitted under the hood but it is currently believed that a 1.5 liter VTEC Turbo engine or a 2.0 liter VTEC turbo engine could be offered.
The Honda CR-V should be debuted at the LA Auto Show this year.
