Honda CR-V spied looking curvy and sophisticated

The Honda CR-V is well into its lifecycle, and today we’re getting a close look at a prototype that previews the
crossover’s new styling. The
CR-V could be revealed this year ahead of a market launch in 2017, perhaps putting it as a 2018 model.

We expect the new generation to increase in size and offer a third row, while drawing power from an updated
engine lineup that uses the company’s Earth Dreams suite of technologies. A
hybrid model is likely, too.

The front and rear of this camouflaged prototype have fairly evolutionary changes to
Honda’s current design, and the vehicle has a stronger, more chiseled appearance than today’s CR-V. We can’t see the interior, but we expect it to get new safety and tech features in keeping with current trends.

Honda updated the CR-V for the 2015 model year, and it’s soldiered on as a stalwart of the company’s lineup. Still, the vehicle is showing signs of age. In a crossover-friendly marketplace, the CR-V’s sales have declined 2.7 percent this year to 71,188 units through March. The CR-V has been around since 1997, and as these shots illustrate, Honda is aggressively trying to keep its long-running nameplate relevant.
