"For the exterior of the all new CR-V, it comes with a more dynamic
exterior design so it's a sportier and more aggressive exterior design
compared to the previous generation. We've added a lot of new features. The
headlights are now full LED, we have LED fog lights the wheels and lights
are now larger compared to before so it now carries 18-inch alloy wheels.
So overall the dimensions are larger than before giving us better interior
space. For the interior for this new CR-V, we've given it a more premium,
more spacious interior so we've developed this CR-V to have 3 rows right
from the beginning so we're able to accommodate the 3 rows of seating and 7
seating capacity. Aside from that, the interior also has more premium
materials so the dashboard is totally new, we've added new features.
There's a new 7-ich touch screen audio display, there's a new TFT Meter
which is a standard for all the variants and the diesel versions come with
a push button electronic gear selector. So it's a very advanced and
technological interior."
