India-Bound Fifth-Gen Honda CR-V Excels In Crash Test
As far as its Indian debut is concerned, the CR-V is expected to arrive next year in the country. Interestingly, the India-bound (Asian-spec) CR-V will get three-row seating (seven-seater) and will make its Asian market debut in coming days in Thailand. Just like the Thai-version, it is expected to
The New Fifth-Generation CR-V Has Earned Impressive Crash-Test Rating, Like The Previous-Gen Model!
The 2017 Honda CR-V has earned Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) 2017 Top Safety Pick+ award. It is the American crash testing organisation’s highest award a vehicle can earn. The fifth-generation CR-V was revealed in the USA last October and is already on sale in the country.
According to IIHS, to earn this award, a vehicle must have good ratings in the small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests. It also must have a front crash prevention system (available in the Honda CR-V) and superior headlights (LED headlights offered in the new CR-V like the Accord Hybrid, Civic and the 2017 City).
As far as its Indian debut is concerned, the CR-V is expected to arrive next year in the country. Interestingly, the India-bound (Asian-spec) CR-V will get three-row seating (seven-seater) and will make its Asian market debut in coming days in Thailand. Just like the Thai-version, it is expected to come with a diesel engine in India as well for the first time.
Check out more info about its diesel engine along with its platform, design, features, new turbocharged petrol engine and others here: India-Bound All-New CR-V Gets Seven Seats And A Diesel!
The competition in the CR-V’s price band is growing rampantly in India with new rivals like the VW Tiguan (local production started recently) and the Jeep Compass (will be revealed on April 12, 2017) arriving soon. Adding to the list of its rivals, Hyundai launched the third-gen Tucson, which falls in the similar price range, last year. Stay tuned to CarDekho for more updates on the new CR-V.
