2012 Honda CR-V Concept Debuts At Orange County International Auto Show

The 2012 Honda CR-V Concept was recently unveiled at the Orange County International Auto Show in California. Speaking at the ceremony, Honda America’s Vice President of Sales John Mendel mentioned that the CR-V has been the best-selling SUV in each of the past four years. The success of the vehicle is attributed to its style, innovative features and higher fuel economy.

While we may be tempted to think of the 2012 Honda CR-V as a revolutionary design, the engineers at Honda have been careful not to let the new version alienate itself from the previous versions. This was done to ensure that the loyal fan base is not lost in the process. The new CR-V Concept shares a lot of similarities in lines and proportions with the outgoing CR-V.

The only details that have been obtained so far about the Concept’s engine read a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine with 180HP and 170lb-ft of torque, along with a new 2.5-liter engine with output figures of 201HP and 177lb-ft. Honda has announced that the production version of the new Honda CR-V will be premiered at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November.
