That's a wise decision by Honda as the sales of the CR-V isn't going that good. The reason being is the non-availability of a diesel engine in this segment. Earlier, a diesel engine with front-wheel drive and an AWD was available for the CR-V but that was soon discontinued because of the BS6 transformation.
Like the previous models, this special edition too will come with a 2.0-litre, naturally aspirated petrol unit which makes 152 bhp and 189 Nm of peak torque. It gets a CVT gearbox and comes as a 5-seater option only.
