2018款本田CR-V在登陆北美市场18个月之后终于将在欧洲亮相了。本田曾在去年9月发布了新一代CR-V的概念版车型，而在即将开幕的日内瓦车展上发布的欧版车将采用新的计算，整体设计和新的动力总成。至于引擎，新车将成为本田欧版车型中首款提供混动系统的SUV。该车搭载的所谓智能多模式驱动系统（IntelligentMultiModeDrive）利用一台2.0升i-VTEC汽油引擎和双电机。该车没有提供传统的变速器，替代它的是更紧凑的单速固定齿比变速器。本田并未透露车辆具体功率和油耗，但表示，新车搭载了一台1.5升涡轮汽油引擎。可搭配标配的六速手动或选装的CVT变速器。美版车功率142千瓦/190马力，扭矩243牛米，与欧版车也差不多。这次本田首次未提供柴油引擎选择。该车标配前轮驱动，但无论是混动版还是1.5升涡轮汽油版本都可配备本田最新的全驱系统。新车的长度和宽度都超过老款车，因此内部空间更宽敞。新车将首次提供七座版本。新款CR-V将于秋季在欧洲上市，而混动版则将于明年上市。
New Honda CR-V Unveiled In European Specification
About 18 months after its North American premiere, the new Honda CR-V is finally ready for its European debut. The SUV, previewed by a concept of the same name in September last year, will arrive in Geneva next week to show its new technologies, overhauled design, and new powertrains.
Speaking of the engines, the new CR-V will become the first Honda SUV to receive a hybrid system for the Old continent. The so-called Intelligent Multi Mode Drive (i-MMD) technology uses a 2.0-liter i-VTEC gasoline engine, supported by two electric motors. It doesn’t have a conventional transmission and instead features a more compact unit with a single fixed-gear ratio. No exact power and fuel consumption figures are available at the moment, but Honda says the new CR-V will also go on sale with a 1.5-liter turbo gas engine. It will be mated to either a standard six-speed manual or an optional CVT automatic. In the United States, this unit delivers 190 horsepower (142 kilowatts) and 179 pound-feet (243 Newton-meters) of torque, so expect similar numbers for Europe, too. For the first time in many years, no diesel options are planned.
As standard, customers will be getting front-wheel drive vehicles, but both the hybrid and the 1.5 turbo models will be able to be specified with Honda’s latest all-wheel drive. Slightly larger than its predecessor, the SUV has a longer wheelbase and wider stance than before, providing more room for the passengers inside the cabin. For the first time in the history of the model, it will be available in a seven-seat configuration.
Deliveries of the gasoline-powered variant on the continent should start this autumn, while the hybrid CR-V will be made commercially-available early next year.
