Advantages of the Honda CR-V 2020

It is important to note that there will no longer be versions with the 2.4-liter atmospheric engine.
On the outside, this compact truck presents interesting changes, such as the incorporation of more exclusive elements for the outside, apart from having more defined front fenders, this area is complemented by a black grille for greater contrast, and even a subtle sportsmanship detail
It is important to mention that the 3 versions of the Honda CR-V 2020 that will be sold already include LED headlights and fog lights. Depending on the version chosen, 17 or 18-inch wheels may be implemented. Also, the skulls on the back already have a smoky finish and the exhausts have a new design at their exits.
Undoubtedly, the biggest advantage of this truck is that the engine evolved to a 1.5-liter turbocharged 1.5-liter with 190 horsepower and 179 foot-pounds of torque, so road overflows can be done more fluid, apart from that in performance it will have better figures.
