Features that are new to the updated Honda CR-V include Honda LaneWatch for all variants, while the 4WD variant now includes the Honda Sensing ADAS suite and a hands-free power tailgate.

Starting with the exterior, the updated Honda CR-V is identifiable thanks to the restyled front bumper and new black front grille. It also features new smoked tail lights and new tail pipe finishing (single on the 2.0-litre variant, dual on the 1.5-litre variants). New dual-tone alloy wheels complete the exterior of the updated CR-V.

Changes to the interior include repositioned USB ports, Active Noise Control, and Remote Engine Start (turbocharged variants only).

As before, the Honda CR-V is offered with two powertrains. The first powertrain is a 2.0-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine that does 153 PS and 189 Nm, while the other is a more powerful 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine that cranks out 193 PS and 243 Nm.

Both engines are mated to a CVT-type automatic transmission, with power sent either to the front wheels or all four wheels, depending on variant.

Five colours are offered with the new Honda CR-V, which includes Lunar Silver Metallic, Passion Red Pearl, Modern Steel Metallic, Dark Olive Metallic and a brand-new option, Platinum White Pearl.
