Back in April, we witnessed the glamorous debut of the all-new crossover SUV at the 2017 Bangkok International Show.  At that time, many questioned what special CR-V our country will have when it’s our turn to unveil this comfortable runabout vehicle. While Honda has yet to reveal any specific information regarding the engine, what we do know is that Thai-spec units pack is led by a 1.6-liter diesel turbo that delivers an output of 160hp and 350Nm and paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission.

With more attractive appearance, the third-row seat, an all-new diesel engine, and large capacity for hauling cargo, the fifth-generation crossover SUV is indeed an impressive vehicle that isn’t offered in most SUVs in its class.  
 
So, other than the greater CR-V powered by an all-new diesel engine, do you think the variants with gasoline engine will also make its way here?
