Due to the unsatisfactory sales performance of cr-V in Japan, the news in Japan is that CR-V will be discontinued in 2022 and will be replaced by a new SUV model!
● The Daily Cr-V is expected next year
● Brand new compact SUV named ZR-V
●Positioned below HR-V
Cr-V sales are not used in China, and it seems that consumers do not like the car in the Japanese market. Taking the cumulative results of local sales in the first half of this year, it is not only lower than the same class toyota RAV4, Mazda Cx-5, Subaru Forester, but also the top 50 in the sales list (passenger cars are not graded). Recently, it has also come out of the mouth of Japanese dealers: the news that the Japanese (Japan) CR-V will be discontinued in 2022.
Although the CR-V may end dismal in Japan, Honda will continue to launch new models in Japan in the face of the Japanese small car market. It is understood that the original factory intends to launch a new SUV positioned under the HR-V, this news is also indirectly corroborated with the previous rumors of spreading in other markets, and this new small SUV is expected to focus on Southeast Asia, Japan, Europe and other markets, for Honda, which lacks the combat strength of such models, it is indeed possible.
Regarding the news of the new car, there are rumors that it is not excluded that it will be designed for the "appetite" of young people in the name of "ZR-V". The new car is about 4 meters long, on par with toyota Raize, which has sold very well in the Japanese market in recent days, and it is clear that the two cars will be the main competitors. And will adopt a people-friendly pricing strategy, it is expected to share many parts with the new generation of City to reduce costs.
In terms of power, it is also expected that the new City will be equipped with a 1.0-liter turbo three-cylinder engine (pictured), which can produce a maximum output of 122hp/17.6kgm. This equipment is also quite intriguing to the Toyota Raize, which is also equipped with a 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbine. In addition, there are also rumors that it will not rule out the introduction of a major modification Fit, with a 1.5-liter NA engine, with dual electric motors, and a lithium battery pack composed of a hybrid oil-electric system.
In addition, the new generation of Insight, which went on sale in Japan in December 2018, is also announced that it will be discontinued in 2022 due to the shrinking car market and the lack of sales.
