Updated Shot of All-New 2012 CR-V

This updated image that has been circulating online in the past couple of weeks has been confirmed by Honda to be the new 2012 CR-V.  The production model will likely have slight differnces such as the smoked headlamp covers, glossy lower fascia cladding and oversize wheels.  Compared to the previous generation, the concept model takes on a more aggressive stance with deeper sculpting of the body lines and a bolder front fascia. The lower front bumper wraps smartly upward to convey SUV capability, while the overall lower front bumper design now integrates more smoothly into the fascia for improved aerodynamics.

It is scheduled to debut at the Orange County International Auto Show next month and should be hitting dealer showrooms before the end of the year.
