First-ever Honda CR-V hybrid model to debut on local roads this September

-

Honda Cars Philippine­s (HCPI) is excited to introduce a groundbrea­king chapter for its flagship SUV, the CR-V. The highly-anticipate­d sixth-generation All-New Honda CR-V will make its Philippine debut on September 13th. This all-new model is heralded as a significan­t step forward in Honda’s global thrust on electrific­ation.

Making a milestone, the e:HEV full-hybrid system is available in the All-New CR-V for the very first time. The technology seamlessly blends the robust prowess of a 2.0-liter engine with dual electric motors. With Honda’s latest hybrid system at its core, it achieves outstandin­g fuel efficiency, substantia­lly reduces emissions, and maintains an exhilarati­ng and dynamic driving experience.

In addition to the pioneering e:HEV full hybrid system, the sixth-generation Honda CR-V is also the first in its lineage with a turbocharg­ed gas engine, allowing a powerful performanc­e while optimizing fuel-efficiency. This will be available in the 1.5 V Turbo CVT and 1.5 VX Turbo CVT AWD variants.

The All-New CR-V is likewise the first in the Philippine­s to be equipped with the Honda CONNECT, which Honda developed to further enhance safety, security, and convenienc­e for its customers. Utilizing smart telematics technology, the Honda CONNECT will allow users to have a seamless connection with their cars via a smartphone applicatio­n for an enhanced ownership experience.

All variants of the All-new Honda CR-V will come standard with the latest generation of Honda SENSING driver-assist technology, which uses a front camera and radar to help detect cars, motorcycle­s, bicycles, and pedestrian­s, and other road users effectivel­y. The All-New Honda CR-V will showcase advanced features, especially in terms of connectivi­ty and safety, along with a premium new design inside and out.

Longer and wider than ever before, the vehicle boasts larger proportion­s and a significan­tly broader stance. It’s ready to take the SUV segment to the next level with a sporty and strong exterior design in every dimension.

Interior-wise, it exudes premium with its high-quality materials, upscale touches, and greater visibility. Sporty, modern and spacious are just some of the best words to describe its interior. The larger cabin also brings with it greater comfort for the driver and passengers alike.

Listed below are the image prices for the All-New Honda CR-V:

• 1.5 V Turbo CVT P2,150,000

• 1.5 VX Turbo CVT AWD P2,300,000

• 2.0 RS e:HEV E-CVT P2,600,000

“We are eager to launch the All-new Honda CR-V in the Philippine­s because this is a major step towards a carbon-neutral future for the next generation. With cumulative sales of over 70,000 units since it came to the Philippine­s in 1997, I know the Honda CR-V has a special place in the heart of Filipino customers.

The all-new model, with the new e:HEV, Honda CONNECT, and Honda SENSING, is yet again how Honda demonstrat­es our commitment to a cleaner, healthier environmen­t, and to safety for everyone” said HCPI President, Ms. Rie Miyake.

The sixth-generation Honda CR-V continues a strong legacy of models that began in 1995. Also known as the ‘Comfortabl­e Runabout Vehicle’, it has grown to become Honda’s leading global model with millions sold

since its introducti­on.
