A document supposedly intended for Honda dealers began to circulate on social media with all the details of the new CR-V.

According to the file, the new generation of the utility can now begin to be billed by resellers and will have a suggested public price of R$179,900.

The increase of more than 20% compared to the previous model (sold for R$ 148 thousand) is explained by the adoption of new equipment and, especially, by the change in production.

Now the CR-V is imported from the United States and collects 35% tax – the previous generation, made in Mexico, was exempt from this tax.

The new CR-V uses the same platform, engine and transmission as the Civic 1.5, but in the SUV the four-cylinder turbo has been recalibrated to reach 190 hp.

The transmission continues to be the automatic CVT, with all-wheel drive on demand.

Even with the debut of the first active driving assistance equipment in a Honda in Brazil, it will not be this time that a car from the brand will be able to brake and accelerate alone.

Questioned by QUATRO RODAS about the documents, Honda sent the following statement:
“Honda does not comment on future launches. All information about the CR-V and Civic Si models will be released at launch.”

The leak of information about the new CR-V occurred on the same day that other documents anticipated the price of the new Honda Civic Si.
