Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI), Honda’s automobile business unit in the Philippines, unveils the much-anticipated
All-New CR-V,
the first ever diesel model in Honda’s local lineup. As the growing
demand of the Filipino market of an all-around comfortable SUV, the
fifth generation
All-New CR-V is designed with a new and
efficient diesel engine complemented by a bold and sophisticated
exterior styling that matches its premium and comfortable interior. All
of these improvements of the
All-New CR-V aim to provide our consumers exceptional driving performance and ride quality.
Honda will offer the
All-New CR-V in three 7-seater diesel variants (SX Diesel 9AT AWD, S Diesel 9AT, V Diesel 9AT) and a 5-seater gasoline variant (2.0S CVT).
Advanced Diesel Turbo Drivetrain
To serve and function as an all-around comfortable SUV, the 7-seater variants of the
All-New CR-V are powered by a fuel efficient 1.6-liter DOHC i-DTEC Diesel TURBO engine developed under
Earth Dreams Technology that
produces a maximum power of 120PS at 4,000rpm and peak torque of 300Nm
at 2,000rpm. The downsized diesel turbo engine is mated to a new 9 Speed
Automatic Transmission with Electronic Gear Selector and Paddle
Shifters that produces a powerful yet cleaner and more efficient output.
The new gearbox also offers a number of real-world benefits to
consumers. Low gear ratio ensures a quick and powerful launch while the
high gear ratio gives lower engine speed at cruising speed giving the
car lower noise level and better fuel consumption.
On the other hand, Honda retains its 2.0-liter SOHC i-VTEC engine
offering to the Philippine Market exclusively for the 5-seater variant.
The 2.0-liter SOHC i-VTEC engine produces a maximum output of 154PS at
6,500rpm and peak torque of 189Nm at 4,300rpm and is mated to a new
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) developed under
Earth Dreams Technology for better fuel efficiency.
The chassis was also engineered from the ground up to provide a more
agile and confident handling. Its wider front and rear track combined
with front MacPherson strut and rear multi-link suspension promotes a
more responsive turn-in and cornering. An enhanced Real Time
All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) system will be available for the top-of-the-line
SX Diesel 9AT AWD variant. This allows the power and torque to be
distributed across all four wheels, allowing the driver to have maximum
traction and stability on any road condition.
To top off these improvements, the All-New CR-V’s ground clearance was
raised to 208mm for the SX Diesel 9AT AWD variant while other variants
stand at 198mm, giving the
All-New CR-V superior versatility and all-weather confidence and control.
Modern, Functional, and Dynamic Exterior
The redesigned exterior of the
All-New CR-V comes with a dynamic
and aggressive design that surely meets the aesthetic requirement of the
Filipino market. Revolving around its exterior concept of “Modern
Functional Dynamic”, the sharp-lined front grille reflects an
aggressive, yet sportier look that is further complemented by signature
Honda Full LED headlights. New High Beam Support System is now available
for the SX Diesel 9AT AWD variant which enables the
All-New CR-V to automatically change from low to high beam in dark driving conditions.
The wide and muscular fenders, tailgate spoiler, and headlight
integrated Guide Type LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL), gives the
All-New CR-V its
modern and dynamic stance. Furthermore, a Panoramic Sunroof, Power
Tailgate, and Auto Rain Sensing Wipers are exclusively available to the
SX Diesel 9AT AWD variant giving it a more luxurious feel together with
ease of use of the vehicle. 18-inch Aluminum Alloy Wheels for the SX
Diesel 9AT AWD, S Diesel 9AT, and 2.0S CVT variants complete the overall
exterior look of the
All-New CR-V.
Premium and Comfortable Interior
Complementing the bold and sophisticated exterior styling, the interior of the
All-New CR-V is
built on a foundation of smart utility design with 7 seats, comfortable
fit, and high tech intuitive controls. Upscale features, black leather
seating, and premium accents for all variants give the
All-New CR-V a more luxurious feel.

AWD) is fitted with an Electronic 8-way power adjustment with 4-way

features a 60:40 Split Rear seat configuration that slides and recline
for an easy ingress and egress of the passengers at the third row. Air
conditioning vents and two USB charging ports at the center console are
also available for added comfort and convenience. Moreover, the third

Reclining seats and additional conditioning vents with independent
