The car will be available with Honda's 2.2-litre i-DTEC engine, which was launched in the Accord last year, for the first time. It produces 148bhp and 258lb ft of torque. It can also be mated to either a manual gearbox or a new, five-speed automatic unit.

Exterior styling changes include a new front bumper and grille arrangement and a new rear bumper design. The EX trim also gets colour coded bumpers, and buyers can opt for new 17 and 18-inch alloy designs.
Inside, Honda says it has used upgraded fabrics and plastics. A new audio console design has also been introduced, while sound deadening around the engine and cabin has been improved.
The new Honda CR-V will be built in Swindon, and exported to 60 countries.
Full specs and prices will be revealed closer to the car's on sale date.

Re: New Honda CR-V launched
I was down at my local Honda dealer on Saturday looking at the Insight when I ventured over to look at two metallic white CRV's one was the brand new one while the other was the previous gen. Now I had an 09 CRV diesel on an 09 plate in a previous job which was fully loaded and apart from slightly different front and rear bumpers the rest including the interior was identical.
The new version had a sticker on it selling at £34k!!! When I got mine Honda were giving them away at £19k discounted from a list of £26k.

This one does n't seem that economical, prefer it to the Q5, but think I'd rather have a Yeti than either of them.
