Honda launched the 2027 Honda CR-V All-Round Glory Edition in China, priced from RMB 137,900 to RMB 186,900 (approximately RM 89,000 to RM 120,600).

As a family-oriented C-segment SUV, the new model gains improvements in cabin flexibility, seat comfort, interior quality and intelligent safety equipment. Buyers can choose between petrol and hybrid powertrains, front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and five- or seven-seat configurations.

Exterior

The new CR-V All-Round Glory Edition retains the overall styling of the current model, featuring LED headlights, a refreshed front grille and LED tail lights. Alloy sport wheels complete the exterior look.

Five exterior colours are offered: Misty Green, Modern Grey, Crystal White, Moonlight White and Crystal Black. Misty Green, Crystal White and Moonlight White are optional custom colours, each costing an additional RMB 2,000 (approximately RM 1,300).

Interior

The entry-level version now gets leather seats in place of the fabric upholstery offered previously, making them easier to clean and maintain. A new beige-and-grey interior colour scheme also gives the cabin a brighter, more welcoming feel.

Standard equipment includes a 10.2-inch digital instrument display and a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, running Honda CONNECT 4.0. The system supports online navigation, voice commands and remote vehicle control.

The rear seats can slide forwards and backwards by 190mm, while the backrest angle is adjustable to several positions. The doors open to 90 degrees, making it easier for passengers to get in and out and for parents to fit child seats. Boot capacity stands at 627 litres.

The seats use an ergonomic MAT structure to provide better body support and reduce fatigue on longer journeys.

Technology & safety

Selected versions get the optional Smart Comfort Package, priced at RMB 5,000 (approximately RM 3,200). It adds a 13-inch AI-powered display and a 360-degree camera system.

The MVCS 540-degree panoramic camera system includes a transparent chassis view, helping drivers spot obstacles and monitor blind spots when manoeuvring through narrow spaces or reversing.

A hands-free powered tailgate can be opened with a foot gesture, which is particularly useful when carrying shopping or holding a child.

A 50W wireless phone charger has been added beside the driver's seat. All variants also come with 10 airbags, including side curtain and knee airbags.

Powertrain

The suspension setup pairs a MacPherson front suspension with Honda's Sensitive Frequency Response Damper (SFRD). It adjusts damping force according to road conditions and vibration frequency, aiming to improve ride comfort and stability.

The hybrid version uses Honda's fourth-generation i-MMD system, combining a 2.0-litre direct-injection Atkinson-cycle engine with two electric motors. It has a claimed WLTC combined fuel consumption of 5.49 litres per 100km, with the system particularly suited to low-speed urban driving.

The petrol version is powered by a 1.5-litre 240TURBO direct-injection engine, producing 193PS and 243Nm. Paired with a CVT, it is designed to deliver smooth, linear power and balance responsive acceleration with everyday fuel efficiency.
