There are no additional diesel options for the sixth generation CR-V, insiders claim. A hybrid system with a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle gas engine and two electric motors has taken its place. The system's combined output is rated at 207 horsepower and 335 Nm of torque, which is significantly greater than the diesel it replaces.
The 2.0-liter i-VTEC engine that Honda used to power the entry-level CR-V from 2007 has likewise been discontinued. From this point forward, all Honda vehicles, regardless of price point, are equipped with a 1.5-liter i-VTEC Turbo engine. The CR-V, however, has the same output as the Accord rather than the 176 horsepower version of the Civic. It produces 192 horsepower and 260 Nm of torque.

Also, there's a significant probability that the crossover will make its public premiere at the opening-day Bangkok International Motor Show. It can take a few more months until the local launch arrives in the Philippines.
