(prHWY.com) August 17, 2011 - Houston, TX -- Even though compact cars are becoming more popular due to rising gas prices, larger-sized vehicles are still doing just as well in the U.S. market. Consumers shopping for a new or used Honda Civic in Houston will want to take a look at the Japanese automaker's latest addition to its lineup - the 2012 Honda CR-V.
While the upcoming model is still technically in the concept phase, sales team members at Houston Honda dealers can't wait to show off the model in showrooms and lots. Long-time Honda fans and automobile-savvy shoppers will not be disappointed, as Honda does not intend to skimp on any features available to today's generation.
Some features that shoppers can look forward to are smoked-out headlights, a prominent front skid plate, massive wheels, and polished black lower trim. Not much else will be different compared to its predecessor, however. Nevertheless, Houston Honda Civic shoppers will definitely have trouble ignoring it.
As far as powertrain is concerned, Honda fans can expect something familiar - most likely a 2.4L inline four-cylinder engine that produces 180 horsepower and paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Experienced car shoppers know that Honda is one of the leaders in fuel efficiency with the Civic; therefore, the 2012 CR-V should not disappoint in this category either. Sales team members at Honda dealers predict a gas mileage of 21 city/28 hwy mpg, which is considerably impressive for the crossover.
While this is only a sneak peak at the next CR-V, consumers shouldn't expect too much mystery. Honda fans will be able to test drive the upcoming model within the next six months.
