For the first time, Honda will offer the new CR-V in India with an all-new diesel power-train. To add to it, the new Honda CR-V will also get an additional third-row of seats which should add to its desirability quotient. The 7-seat layout of the CR-V will help the company in competing in a better way against the competition. Read More: New Honda Amaze 2018 to Debut at Auto Expo

The India-spec Honda CR-V will be powered by a 1.6-litre twin-turbo Earth Dreams diesel unit that is tuned to produce 160 BHP of power while developing 350 Nm of torque. This engine will come mated to a 6-speed manual and a 9-speed automatic transmission. This engine will be manufactured locally and will also make its way into the 2018 Honda Civic facelift, which is expected to be launched next year. Speaking of which, the Honda Civic will also get the 1.8-litre iVTEC petrol engine. Also Read: Honda City 20th Anniversary Edition, WR-V Edge Edition & Amaze Pride Edition Launched in India

That said, the Honda Civic display model at the Auto Expo will be the current generation model, while India is set to receive the facelift model at launch. The Honda Civic has had a cult following in the Indian market and the car is still famous amongst custom car builders. Following on the old model’s footsteps, the new Civic continues with the low-slung sporty design along with neatly designed interiors. The low-slung stance, along with the coupe-like design adds to the character of the car.
