outgoing CR - V.

the outgoing CR - V, a serious improvement.
The outgoing CR - V offers a 1.6 - liter turbodiesel, but an oil - burner won't be offered on the next - generation model.

CR - V larger sense of presence but to yield significant improvements in interior space, resulting in improved rear - seat legroom and a cargo area that's nearly 10 inches longer than the
outgoing model's.
Before even settling into the new
CR - V, the changes versus the
outgoing model are obvious — this new
