Power has also been optimized, but also to make the new car’s product power and freshness steeply increased. Its starting price overseas is $28,045 (about RMB 188,600).

Into the car will find that the new CR-V interior completely changed, the interior layout and the new Civic for the “same”, changing the suspension LCD center screen, the use of horizontal through the honeycomb air conditioning vents, and the previous layout of the car is a huge difference.
As for the steering wheel shape, the two cars have not changed much. The interior design language of the new Honda CR-V will be the latest Honda family style, which is expected to be gradually equipped on more models.
The steering wheel, transmission shifter, and seats are added to the red stitching, and the car driving sense is more intense, at the same time, the 7-inch full LCD instrument panel, but also makes the car more technological sense.
