The soon to-be-launched all new CR-V on to a promising start
Petaling Jaya, 1 March 2007 The all new Honda CR-V which is expected to
be introduced in Malaysia soon has been receiving rave reviews and encouraging
booking in the countries which the model has been launched.
Built on the concept of carefree, anywhere and anytime reliable comfortable
mobility, the first generation of CR-V (which stands for Comfortable Runabout
Vehicle) was launched in 1995. The CR-V was the pioneer in the compact Sports
Utility Vehicle (SUV) segment, which set a new benchmark for a vehicle that
fulfills the active functionality of a utility vehicle in the comfort of sedan
driving.
More than 2.5 million units of the first and second generation of CR-V can be
found on the roads of 160 countries worldwide today, including close to 12,000
units in Malaysia.
This all new CR-V was first unveiled at the Paris Auto Salon in September
2006. As at the end of last year, this third generation CR-V has been launched
in the USA, Japan, Korea, Singapore, New Zealand, Brunei, India and Thailand. In
the USA, 20,000 units of the new CR-V were booked by the customers within the
first month of launch.
From the exterior design to the interior spaciousness, the all new CR-V is a
pleasant surprise. The vehicle will be powered by Hondas reliable engineering
for drivability and performance, providing outstanding sedan-like riding
comfort, said Mr Yasuhide Mizuno, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer
of Honda Malaysia Sdn Bhd.
The all new CR-V will continue to lead in innovative performance efficiency
and fuel economy. Honda has developed a totally new engine for the CR-V - the
2.0-L i-VTEC engine which gives optimum power output at urban driving as
well as under heavy load, said Mr Mizuno.
He added, Honda is dedicated to producing vehicles that are meant for
passengers. Comfort for the vehicles occupants will always be as important as
the performance of the vehicle itself. This is one of clear distinction with
Honda.
The all new will be available in five colours. We expect the all new CR-V to
be just as successful like its predecessors and other Honda models in Malaysia,
Mr Mizuno said.
The all new CR-V is already creating much excitement and anticipation with
blogs and websites posting spy shots of the vehicle. Launch of the SUV has been
scheduled for March 8, 2007.
Look out for this new car. I am confident it will impress Malaysian
motorists, Mr Mizuno said.
