Japan's Magazine X Honda Rumour: Honda sub CRV SUV

There's been a good rumour floating around for awhile about Honda putting together something (more for the Euro market) in the sub-CRV suv size to compete with the popular Nissan Quasquai (similar to North America's Juke).

Honda Civic SUV on way for the UK

Nice! I heard rumblings of this coming, didn't think it would be so soon.... Hmmm, Acura is bringing something new to the compact segment, wouldn't it make sense if....
Honda has set its sights on emulating the runaway success of the Nissan Qashqai – and our exclusive images reveal the car it will pin its hopes on.

The company is keen to boost its profitability in Europe, particularly in the UK, where sales have halved over the last three years. And a new crossover to sit between the Civic and the CR-V is seen as key to its chances of doing so.

The as-yet-unnamed car will be based on a tweaked version of the new Civic’s platform, and go on sale next year. And our illustrations show how it’s likely to look.

Honda Canada announces 2012 CR-V pricing

With its new 2012 CR-V set to debut January 4 at dealerships, Honda Canada has released pricing for the popular-selling compact sport-ute.

Pricing will start at $25,990 for the CR-V LX (2WD), while the top-of-line, Canadian-exclusive Touring model with Real Time All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) with Intelligent Control System and other features will be offered with a suggested retail price of $34,990.

As of the end of November, the CR-V is the third-best-selling compact SUV in the country with more than 23,000 units sold, behind the Ford Escape and Dodge Journey.

“The new CR-V represents excellent value for Canadian buyers of popular compact SUVs from top-of-class fuel economy to the largest cargo capacity of any vehicle in its segment,” says Jerry Chenkin, executive vice-president of Honda Canada. “The new … CR-V adds up to $2,500 in additional value in standard features and technologies compared to the outgoing model.

Honda also says that “as of early next year,” all CR-Vs sold in Canada will be built at its assembly plant in Alliston, Ont.

All fourth-generation CR-Vs are powered by a 2.4-litre i-VTEC four-cylinder engine with 185 horsepower and 163 pound-feet of torque.
