In the rear part of the car, the new car taillight group adopts a large size "L" type taillight group design, and the light emitting unit in the lamp cavity also has an "L" type design, which has high recognition after lighting. In addition, the rear of the new car is surrounded by a relatively thick black decorative board package, with a bilateral exhaust layout and small-size diffuser decoration, making the whole more sporty.

In the functional control area below the central control screen, the new car retains some knobs and physical buttons and is equipped with a mechanical shift mechanism. On the seat layout, the new car offers a choice of 5-seat and 7-seat versions, which is the first time Dongfeng Honda has launched a 7-seat SUV model in the domestic market.

In the power part, the new car will provide fuel version and hybrid version. The fuel version is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 142 kilowatts and a peak torque of 243 Nm. In addition, the new car will also launch a hybrid version, equipped with 2.0L fourth-generation dual-motor hybrid system.

Honda CR-V, as one of Honda's blockbuster models, has attracted a lot of attention since it entered the domestic market, and once became a "top student" of the domestic compact SUV. According to data, the cumulative sales of CR-V models in the past 2021 were 222325 and 149048 from January to August this year. From the perspective of comprehensive new car positioning, the new car will compete with Toyota RAV4, Nissan Qijun, Mitsubishi Outlander and other joint venture brands such as compact SUV models. For reference, Toyota sold 99435 RAV4 vehicles from January to August, Nissan Qijun 9744 and Mitsubishi Outlander 20042.

The CR-V, the first model introduced by Dongfeng Honda, is Dongfeng Honda's classic SUV model and its best-selling model. It has undergone five upgrades, and this new generation belongs to the sixth generation of the car. Honda CR-V can be traced back to 1995. In the domestic market, the CR-V model was first localized in 2004. The Honda CR-V currently on sale is the fifth generation model, which has been on the market since July 2017. Dongfeng Honda launched the fifth generation CR-V on July 9, 2017. The current price range is 16.98-276800 yuan, which is based on Honda's most advanced FUNTEC power technology. Turbocharged and hybrid power systems are introduced. From the perspective of market performance, even if the new car is about to be replaced, the car is still very hot in the market. As for the launch of the latest sixth-generation products, it can be known from the news that the launch of the new car may better fill the gap of Honda in the 7-seat SUV market and increase market competition, but it is worth looking forward to whether the new car can have a better performance than the current models on sale.
