Honda has just confirmed the availability of the brand-new CR-V in Australia, bringing on board a new lineup, with prices starting from AU$44,900 in the base VTi X variant.
From there, the lineup climbs through the e:HEV X, e:HEV L, VTi L7, and e:HEV LX AWD. The starting prices are AU$49,900 (US$34,835), AU$53,900 (US$37,630), AU$54,900 (US$38,325), and AU$58,900 (US$41,120). The top-of-the-line e:HEV RS AWD is available at AU$64,400 (US$44,960), and remains the most expensive version currently listed for the Australian market.
From a visual standpoint, Honda brings fresh elements to the car`s body. Interior changes are also described as light, but one update affects every version immediately: the touchscreen is now 9 inches across the entire family.
That screen also changes how the system works because Google’s built-in is now included as standard. Google Maps comes standard, and buyers can also configure whatever applications they consider useful through the Google Play Store.
The standard VTi X comes with the basic package, which is fairly rich. There are LED lighting included, along with 17-inch alloy wheels, cloth trim, push-button ignition, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry, wireless charging, an eight-speaker sound system, a seven-inch partly digital instrument display, and the list goes on with a few more options.
Higher in the line-up sits the e:HEV X, which adds 18-inch alloy wheels now available in black, along with multiple drive programs like Eco, Sport, or normal. We should also mention the 10.2-inch digital cluster inside, along with paddle controls for regenerative braking.
On the other hand, the e:HEV L sits at another level with black leather upholstery inside, rear privacy glass, panoramic sunroof, auto-dimming rearview mirror, and heated front seats.
Moving to the VTi L7 variant, this one adds 19-inch alloy wheels, an all-wheel drive system, piano black trim at the exterior, ambient cabin lighting, and a Bose audio system.
At the top, the e:HEV RS introduces more piano black detailing and adds an individual driving mode, Matrix adaptive high beams, a heated steering wheel, heated outer rear seats, ventilated front seats, alloy sports pedals, and a head-up display.
The mechanical side has changed as well. We are dealing here with a 2.0-liter hybrid powertrain, which develops 135 kW and 335 Nm of torque. There is another 1.5-liter turbocharger that equips the VTi X and the VTi L7, and is rated at 140 kW. As for fuel consumption, depending on the engine, it ranges from 5.5 to 7.3l/100 km/h. Deliveries in Australia are expected to begin soon.
