Honda adds new entry-level CR-V Vi model from $28,290

Honda Australia has added a new budget conscious entry-level model to its CR-V lineup priced from $28,290, under cutting the popular Mazda CX-5 Maxx and Toyota RAV4 GX.

The new CR-V Vi is powered by a 113kW/189Nm 2.0-litre i-VTEC engine matched with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) as standard instead of the higher variants’ 140kW/240Nm 1.5-litre turbocharged VTEC engine.

Standard features include 17-inch alloy wheels and full size spare, reversing camera, LED Daytime Running lights, electric parking brake with auto Brake Hold, Bluetooth connectivity with audio streaming on a five-inch Display Audio, six airbags and a five-star ANCAP safety rating.

“CR-V pioneered the SUV segment in Australia, and now with the Vi model it’s even more affordable”, said Honda Australia Director, Mr. Stephen Collins. “CR-V’s strength is it just does so many things so very well. Whether it’s carrying kids and their stuff for the school run, a trip to home from Ikea with a boot-load of flat packs, or driving confidently down a winding country road, Honda CR-V does it all”.

The addition of a new Vi grade makes CR-V more attainable for budget-conscious families. “Our customers were telling us they’d like to a see a CR-V for around $30k, so we’ve been able to deliver a great option in the new Vi grade”, said Mr. Collins.

  • 2.0 litre SOHC i-VTEC engine
