Updated versions of CR-V and Integra will be among the highlights on the Honda
stand at this year’s Australian International Motor Show.
With more than 1.7 million CR-Vs sold in 160 countries since its introduction
in 1995, the popular CR-V has received subtle exterior styling changes to
freshen it for 2005. Changes to the grille and front and rear bumpers give the
CR-V a bolder, more purposeful appearance.
The 05 CR-V also has an upgraded audio system, instrument panel and security
alarm, while the CR-V Sport gains side SRS airbags standard.
The CR-V’s on-road performance is improved with Honda’s RealTime 4WD system
tweaked to tackle slippery, snow-covered roads, bigger wheels, tyres and disc
brakes, while a five-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is offered for
the first time. Side airbags are now fitted as standard on CR-V Sport models.
The Integra range has grown up for 2005 with the introduction of Integra Type
S. The sporty, highly-equipped Type S adds a new level of luxury and performance
to the Integra nameplate, giving it broader appeal.
Honda has revised the suspension, steering, brakes and exterior styling
across the Integra range, creating a lower, sleeker sports coupe.
Pricing and equipment details will be announced when 05 CR-V and Integra go
on sale later this month.
The Australian International Motor Show runs from 7-17 October at the Sydney
Exhibition and Convention Centre, Darling Harbour.
