* 2010 CR-V gets new diesel engine
* Available for first time with automatic gearbox
* Revised styling and upgraded interior
A new diesel engine with the option of an automatic will be available on the 2010 Honda CR-V.
The 2.2-litre diesel engine is claimed to be quieter, more refined and designed to meet Euro 5 legislation, and for the first time on the CR-V, it can be ordered with the option of a five-speed automatic.
The new i-DTEC diesel is currently fitted to the new Honda Accord where it has impressed both in terms of performance and fuel economy. Emission figures haven't been announced, but the current 2.2-litre diesel CR-V has 173g/km CO2, which means it is taxed at 25 per cent.
Other minor changes include new bumpers, grille, alloys and upgraded interior that the company claims gives a more premium finish.
The revised CR-V will be available in early 2010.
