The first batch of the diesel-powered Honda CR-V 2018 finally arrived

When Honda Cars Philippines has done its deliveries for the 5-seater gasoline version since August 9, 2017, it set the stage for a true go-anywhere vehicle with the potent yet effective engine. The Japanese manufacturer has not been shy about announcing that the Honda CR-V 2018 will have a series of firsts for the car, particularly, the turbo diesel versions that are scheduled to arrive by the end of September.

This month has come around so has the fifth-generation CR-V. The maker is happy to announce that the first batch of 7-seater diesel versions has officially landed.

Purchasers will now be able to enjoy and order the much-awaited diesel-powered CR-V. The all-new Honda CR-V 2018 is powered with a 1.6-liter i-DTEC turbo diesel motor that churns out 118hp and a torque 300Nm. These horses are sent to either all wheel or front-wheel via a vaunted 9-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. The class-leading transmission is clean, smooth, and powerful.

In addition, the newest compact crossover makes a return to the efficient fold flat configuration - 7 seats. This helps the CR-V accommodate up to 7 full-size adults as well as add practicality and sufficient space for hauling cargo.
