Honda has released details about the 2014 Honda CR-V for Europe that includes a new powerful 1.6-litre diesel engine and new 9-speed automatic transmission. The exterior of the new Honda CR-V features new headlamps, front grille, fog lights, skid-plate and bumper, new LED combination lamps, a refreshed tailgate design and bumper.

The new 1.6-litre i-DTEC four-cylinder diesel engine is from Honda's Earth Dreams Technology series and delivers a class-leading sub 130 g/km of CO2, 11% better than its predecessor. The two-wheel drive diesel CR-V, available with a manual transmission, will be equipped with the 120 PS 1.6 litre i-DTEC diesel engine, with emissions as low as 117 g/km.
Now, whether Honda will bring the new CR-V with the 1.6-litre diesel engine is the question. We all wish it does. Honda CR-V in India continues to be powered by 2.0-litre and 2.4-litre petrol engines for 2WD and 4WD versions respectively. And bringing in the diesel engine will surely provide a wider range of audience to appeal to.
