First sighted early this year and then again last month, the sixth-generation Honda CR-V has been spied once more doing road trials. Reader Johnson Ng spotted the SUV, still in full camouflage, on the way up to Genting Highlands, and managed to snap a couple of photos of the car.<\/p>\n
It won’t be long before the all-new CR-V makes its Malaysian debut. Back in March, Honda Malaysia announced that it was set to launch four new models this year in the country, and CR-V will be among them. Given that we’re already near the tail end of the third quarter of the year, a market debut should be on the cards sometime in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n
The new CR-V, which made its global debut in July last year, is slightly longer and wider than the fifth-gen model – which is still on sale here – that it replaces. Pluses from the larger dimensions include a more spacious cabin, with rear legroom (which is already very good in the outgoing car) improved by an additional 15 mm.<\/p>\n
The cabin presentation largely mimics that of the current 11th-gen Civic, with a larger centre console that allows the gear lever to be placed side-by-side with the drive mode selector, hill descent control button and electronic parking brake switch.<\/p>\n

Thailand provides the clue as to what we can expect to come our way in terms of powertrains and specifications. Launched in March this year, the Thai-market CR-V is available with two powertrain options. The first is a 1.5L turbo petrol unit, which produces 190 hp at 6,000 rpm and 242 of torque from 1,700 rpm to 5,000 rpm, mated to a continuously variable transmission.<\/p>\n
The other is a hybrid with an i-MMD powertrain configuration similar to that on the Civic e:HEV, with a 2.0 litre Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine with an e-CVT paired with two electric motors yielding a total system output of 207 PS and 315 Nm of torque.<\/p>\n
In Thailand, the CR-V is available in both five- and seven-seat options, but it’s very likely that we won’t be seeing the seven-seater coming our way. In any case, we’ll know soon enough.<\/p>\n
