New Sixth Generation Honda CR-V Revealed This Summer

●Hexagonal water tank guard with long and narrow LED headlight shape

●Highly recognizable "three L" shaped LED taillights

●Provide 1.5 Turbo, Hybrid power specifications

On May 15 this year, I saw that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China firstly exposed the appearance and power information related to the new sixth-generation CR-V on the Internet, but it is inevitable to question the authenticity and reference value of these outflow photos. However, on May 26, Honda officially announced the partial factory drawings of the front and rear of the new-generation CR-V on the US media website, verifying the authenticity of the pictures and information previously leaked by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China. After comparison, except for the slight differences in the details of the inner mesh of the front water tank guard and the front bumper, the headlights, the water tank guard and even the rear of the car are indeed the same.

According to the information released on the official website of Honda in North America this time, the new 2023-style sixth-generation CR-V will be released in the summer of this year. The detailed specifications and data of the vehicle will be released, and from the published partial factory map , The new CR-V seems to have a similar front face to the new-generation HR-V, with a hexagonal water tank guard and narrow and sharp headlights, but the CR-V has a more domineering bumper intake. dam, and is decorated with a rectangular-like chrome frame. As for the rear of the car, it adopts the L-shaped taillight group shape similar to the current model, but adds three L-shaped light guide strips arranged in sequence from the outside to the inside, which brings high recognition at night, which is also the tail shape of the car. The most eye-catching and characteristic.

However, the most noteworthy is the "Hybrid" nameplate affixed under the CR-V name on the tailgate and the word "AWD" at the center of the lower edge of the rear windshield, which also means that the new generation of US-standard CR-V It will be equipped with a Hybrid gasoline-electric hybrid system, and a four-wheel drive model will be provided. This Hybrid system is the e:HEV power architecture. As for whether there will be a PHEV power model, it will be announced.

As for the system specifications of the sixth-generation CR-V that will be localized in the future? This is also the information that everyone wants to know the most, and we also boldly speculate that it will continue to use the current 1.5-liter turbo gasoline engine with the CVT gearbox, just like the Chinese mainland version of the CR-V. But will there be e:HEV power specifications in the end? Although Taiwan Honda wants it very much, it will ultimately depend on whether the Japanese parent factory is willing to give it. After all, this also involves the layout and planning of the original Honda factory in various regional markets around the world. If Taiwan belongs to the market, there is no e:HEV power configuration plan. Certainly, domestic consumers can only sigh in admiration or look forward to a miracle, and let’s see the real chapter when it goes public in 2023!
