Honda has released the first picture of 2012 CR-V

In Europe, the CR-V is likely to get a tweak in the diesel engine to produce 165bhp on the same 2.2-litre engine. The official website says, "With a new design—both inside and out, new features and new possibilities, the 2012 CR-V will set a new standard for the class."

We expect it to come to India by late 2012 and probably this time, Honda is likely to come equipped with a diesel engine option on its CR-V and a six-speed automatic transmission.
