Honda CR-V, the version with 7 seats is now a reality and will reach the global markets in July
The latest generation of the CR-V has left us surprised, has a level of habitability and space difficult to find in this segment, a great handling courtesy of the new platform and motorization shared with the Civic and a high technological content.
In Mexico, it has only three months to sell, but three months have been enough to place it as the best-selling SUV in the market, recovering the position that belonged to it at some point and ousting the redesigned Nissan X-Trail, which held that distinction .
Now, we have confirmation of Motoring, and it is that the brand has already made official that, at least in Asian markets, there will be a version with three rows and seven seats. Given the success of this model in our country and the offer of this type of SUVs with room for seven, it is logical that it could reach Mexico very soon.
Its main rivals will be, for habitability and dimensions, the aforementioned X-Trail apart from Mitsubishi Outlander and the future Volkswagen Tiguan, which will also arrive in Mexico in the second half of the year, all of them with three rows of seats in some variants.
The engines will be the same, an atmospheric 2.4-liter with 184 horses or the 1.5-liter VTEC Turbo engine and 188 horses, both associated with an automatic transmission with continuous variator. It is true that, with the three rows in place, cargo space is reduced, but for price these vans seem a good idea for young families who require space for 7 passengers on an occasional basis for urban trips.
We also know that the hybrid engine that was presented at the last Beijing Motor Show could be offered later, making it the only SUV of its kind with such a mechanics.
