EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR DESIGN
EXTERIOR
The exterior design of the new generation of the popular CR-V steam car from Honda evolves demonstrates the familiar design solutions of the previous generation of the model. Solid and charismatic front end of the body with a large bumper, neat falshradiatoroy grille and new fully LED headlights head light. Increasing the wheelbase size by as much as 80 mm gives the body of the new crossover a more finished and sedate appearance, the side doors become wider, the forage is longer and more massive. The rear parking lights, judging by the first photos, will be located in two planes, organically emphasizing the high window sill of the novelty.
In order for thecar to compete in the class of urban crossovers, it must have a sufficientlyattractive exterior. At the considered car style of registration of a body hasfollowing features:
The head optics are bent, it stands out due to the complex design. At the sametime, some diode lines of the headlights were made in the form of acontinuation of the chrome finish of the exterior.
The radiator has a relatively small size, the structure is represented bychrome plated plates. Also on the radiator grill is a chrome-platedmanufacturer’s badge.
The front bumper
has an air intake, which is made in the form of a grid. In addition to the
lower part of the construction there is a chrome finish element.
The installed fog lamps are small in size, they are practically not noticeable.
The body turned out to be rather blown, along the perimeter there is a plastic
protection, which stands out against the backdrop of the bodywork. The glasses
also have a chrome trim.
The rear of the body was very attractive and unusual. The taillights go on a
rack and flow into a complex structure, located both on the luggage compartment
cover and on the wing.
The car under consideration turned out to be quite attractive. At the same
time, the designers were able to make it unique and preserve the Honda style.
INTERIOR
By analogy with
the 10th generation Honda Civic, the new fifth generation Honda CR-V will
acquire a more modern and high-quality interior. The manufacturer promises
high-quality finishing materials, a full-color instrument panel, an advanced
multimedia system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Siri and Google Maps, a
premium audio system, front-wheel drive electric heated, ventilation and
massage, heated and ventilated seats in the second row, three-zone climate
-control, electric tailgate and other options
The cost of the crossover in question is very high. Honda SRV 2018 equipment
and prices, photos of which are presented in this material, has a high-quality
and manned salon. We characterize it as follows:
The steeringwheel has two spokes and wide lower support. A similar version of execution isnow installed on almost all new generations
On the two spokes are located a few keys, most of which are made in the form ofa joystick. Finishing can be represented by high-quality leather or softplastic.
The instrument panel was made in the form of a display. At the same time, wenote that the Japanese automaker paid much attention to the development ofgraphics: it is made in a modern style, resembling an image of panels fromfantastic films.
The central console has a complex design. The lower part of the structureslightly comes forward to accommodate the shift lever of the variator operationmode. The main part of the control was allocated to the touch screen, but aseparate unit was assigned to control the climate control.
The high positionof the gearbox selector determined that the central tunnel is not high, placedit for the niches of cup holders and some control units.
When finishing, soft plastic, textiles, natural wood, leather are used. Thiscombination of materials provides high comfort.
The rear row has quite a lot of free space, the seat is designed for threepassengers. Even in expensive equipment on the back row are not installedadditional displays. But the air is fed through a block with deflectors, whichis represented by a continuation of the armrest.
The salon is practical and has all the popular options, designed exclusivelyfor 5 passengers.
