Honda Cars India has planned an aggressive year ahead and showcased its entire new line-up at the recently concluded Auto Expo 2018. The company will be launching its all-new Honda Amaze soon early next financial year followed by either Honda Civic and new generation Honda CR-V. While at the Auto Expo Amaze and Civic became the trending cars, Honda CR-V too allured the visitors and the strong bold looks have already impressed the potential buyers. The new 2018 Honda CR-V is likely to debut in India by the festive season and the company is yet to confirm if the launch of this SUV will be before or after Honda Civic that makes a comeback into the Indian market after years.
2018 Honda CR-V SUV will be assembled here in India and will allow the company to reduce the tax and keep the price of the SUV more competitive along with the likes of its competition including Toyota Fortuner, Ford Endeavour, Skoda Kodiaq and the upcoming Mahindra’s G4 Rexton SUV. It is also for the first time we will see Honda CR-V getting 3 rows of seating in India for the first time.
