The time is up for Honda to toss the wraps off the new 2012 CR-V Concept, which made its public debut today at the Orange County International Auto Show in Anaheim, California.
The close-to-production concept previews the new looks of the 2012 CR-V that will receive its world premiere in final form at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November and go on sale in the United States before the end of the year.
The JDM model will follow in December at the Tokyo Motor Show, while European buyers will have to wait until fall of 2012.
We've already brought you the official design fillings of the production model, so it's safe to say that only a few things will change over the concept, namely the smaller alloy wheels and the aero kit, which includes the front and rear bumper trims, and side skirts.
"The 2012 CR-V Concept strongly hints at the more dynamic and refined look of the upcoming model," commented John Mendel, executive vice president of sales for American Honda. "As the best-selling SUV in each of the past four years, the 2012 CR-V promises to build on its highly successful formula with even more style, innovative features and higher fuel economy."
Honda added that the new CR-V will also feature a more fuel-efficient (four-cylinder) engine and reduced body weight, while it will also receive an all-new interior with "a more accommodating and spacious design".

Best looking CR-V yet, other than those rims. Honda needs to up its game in the styling department as others are leaving Honda behind.
agreed, on both points
GORGEOUS
absolutely amazing! FINALLY Honda - you got it right. The new civic is better and now the CR-V is better (although outgoing models are nice as well). But this... I mean wow. Honda is making a come back :)
ugly as hell..
the new still old civic is not better then the one it replaced, sorry but that is the truth. This CR-V if it comes in the same form for production models will be great, I just hope they dont water it down because it does look pretty good in concept form..I also like those rims but rims are easy to change if you don;t like them......
Hunchback.... Yawn.
mostly nice... except for that ugly Cross-Tour grille.
FULLY REVEALED? what about the inside pics?
In typical Honda fashion, the production model will lose everything that's cool about this concept and keep everything that's boring.
