Finally, what will be the pricing?
-
In India, the current model of the Honda CR-V falls under Rs. 28-33 lakh price bracket. Hence, we expect the facelifted variant to arrive at a slightly higher price. Once launched, it will lock horns with rivals like Toyota Fortuner, Skoda Kodiaq, and Ford Endeavour.
