ABDULLAH Hashim Co. Ltd., sole distributor of Honda vehicles in Saudi Arabia, recently launched The all-new fourth generation CR-V in the Kingdom.

The new CR-V is available in LX, EX and EX-leather grades.

Tabish Akhtar, Deputy General Manager of Abdullah Hashim Group, said, "globally, the CR-V has been recognized as a pioneer of compact SUV. Since its first launch in 1996, over 5 million CR-V’s have been sold so far, which amply proves its global appeal in terms of design, quality, refinement and popularity. Building on this solid reputation, the all new CR-V now enters into its 4th generation with enhanced exterior aesthetics, car like interior comfort, innovative features and a smoother & quieter ride; and is designed to offer urban sophistication and exceed customer expectation of a 5-seater compact SUV."

The previous generation CR-V’s refined styling, size and proportions contributed a lot to its success since its launch in 2006. "Compared to the previous-generation CR-V, the 2012 model takes on a more aggressive and aerodynamic stance with deeper sculpting of the bodylines and a bolder front fascia. The front bumper’s smooth-flowing lines are highlighted by a horizontal three-bar grille and deeply set multi-reflector headlights. The lower front bumper wraps smartly upward to convey SUV capability with a generous approach angle, while the lower front bumper design with fog lights (only for EX & EX-Leather grades) now integrates more smoothly with the fascia for improved aerodynamics," he said. — SG
