2018 Honda CR-V

ASEAN NCAP crash tested the Asia-spec right-hand-drive model of the CR-V, which now features third-row seating for the first time. It obtained an overall score of 88.8 points – 47.25 out of 50 points for adult occupant protection, 22.84 out of 25 points for child occupant protection and 18.71 out of 25 points for safety assist technologies.

The fifth-gen Honda CR-V is expected to make its Indian debut next year with a locally-manufactured diesel engine.

Compared to the outgoing SUV, the new model is expected to have relatively higher levels of localisation to keep it competitive in a cut-throat segment.
