With all due respect for its decision to fully differentiate the North American, Civic-based third-generation HR-V from its global ZR-V counterpart, the two Honda novelties we have all been eagerly waiting for are a little bit different.
For starters, everyone around the world with a knack for Honda high performance is drooling over the seemingly never-ending 2023 Civic Type R testing procedures. The rest of the Japanese automaker’s fan base is keeping an eye out for the lengthy teasing process bestowed by the marketing department upon the sixth generation of the iconic CR-V crossover SUV.
Well, luckily, the end – aka the official reveal – is drawing closer. Until then, after we have previously seen the conservative looks based on a leaked patent design image, found out that a CR-V Hybrid is definitely coming to the U.S. market (alongside Accord and Civic Hybrids, of course), and saw its upcoming bold exterior lighting pattern, here is an uncamouflaged sneak peek at the new iteration’s cockpit.
According to Honda, the all-new 2023 CR-V will advance towards a new interior styling direction with the advent of a sporty yet modern cabin atmosphere. We have no idea what trim is depicted in the teaser, but we did notice the orange contrast stitching, the honeycomb pattern on the dashboard, or the minimalistic styling that feels like a related step up from the HR-V design.
Additionally, the Japanese carmaker’s swift press release mentions that “fine craftsmanship, upscale touches, (and) even more space” are in line for America’s top-selling SUV “of the past quarter-century.” By the way, the rest of the unanswered questions – regarding the overall looks, the high-tech features, creature comforts, and especially about the powertrain and trim options – will soon get official answers. This is because now we know the exact date of Honda’s 2023 CR-V reveal: July 12th, 2022!
