Honda has announced that it will be releasing its revised CR-V model in time for Christmas.

New interior features include 3D back lit dials, steering wheel controls, retractable rear seat headrests and chrome instrument surrounds.

Exterior changes include a new grille, bumpers, front and rear light clusters, 16 inch wheels as standard, uprated brakes and an improved 4WD system.

The CR-V retains Honda’s 2.0 litre i-VTEC petrol engine, and will be joined from March next year with the 2.2 i-CTDi diesel.

Honda has retained a three model line up with cars now graded SE, Sport and Executive.
