Honda has released an image of the new CR-V Concept, providing the first official glimpse of styling direction. The all-new, fourth-generation CR-V is set to go on sale in the United States by the end of 2011 and in Europe in Autumn 2012.

Compared to the previous generation, the CR-V Concept takes on a more aggressive stance with deeper sculpting of the body lines and a bolder front fascia.

The CR-V’s vertical taillights remain for the next model with a more three-dimensional style that wraps further into the design of the vehicle.

Equipped with more efficient engines compared to the current model, the new CR-V is expected to deliver improved fuel economy.
