Honda CR-V first official picture

The first picture of the next CR-V has appeared on the homepage of Honda’s Japanese website, just a couple of weeks before its official unveiling at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
The design of the fourth generation of this SUV/crossover model is obviously inspired by the CR-V Concept and features a quite original side-windows layout, which seems to form a sort of half-moon shape, while tail lights are somewhat reminiscent of Volvo XC60.

The new Honda CR-V will debut in Europe at some point in 2012, probably a month or two after its arrival in the US, where it will be equipped with a brand new 2.
5-litre 4-cylider petrol engine producing 201 hp.
