New Honda CR-V vs competition


The new generation of the Honda CR-V is just launched and the Japanese automotive manufacturer has priced it well as the entry-level car comes for under the 20 lakh mark— even though the costing is without taxes.
Honda CR -V
The new generation CR-V is available with a 2.0-litre (6-speed manual and 5-sspeed auto) and 2.4-litre (5-speed auto) petrol engine variants. It competes with the BMW X1 and the Mercedes-Benz B-Class when it comes to shear pricing. So, we help you decide the better option.
Honda CR-V vs BMW X1
BMW X1 
The X1 has been around for quite sometime and has been the entry-level vehicle for the BMW badge. It is based on the 3-Series platform and gets the same petrol and diesel engines like the previous generation 3-Series. The X1 is a SUV that feels like a sedan to drive, just like the CR-V. The difference however is that at the moment the CR-V comes with all-wheel drive in the 2.4-litre with touchscreen navigation, reverse parking camera etc. With the X1 launch just 2 days away, we are sure that BMW will add some extra goodies to make it competitive with the Honda, and at the same time you also get the BMW badge, but the Honda CR-V is a great value for money product and has done good in the past. So, the choice is yours value for money for badge value.
Honda CR-V vs Mercedes-Benz B-Class
Mercedes Benz B Class
The B-Class is the new entrant to the Mercedes-Benz stable and also new entry-level vehicle to the three-pointed star badge. The B-Class isn’t an SUV, but it does fall under similar price bracket. The Mercedes-Benz B-Class produces 122bhp of power that is less than the CR-V but the seven-speed dual clutch spreads the torque evenly, enhancing its performance. The B-Class is more expensive then the CR-V, but it does get seven-airbags, seven-speed dual clutch transmission, and more renowned badge than most of the brands that are ever sold. But the CR-V is an SUV, which differentiates it from the B-Class and is also an all-wheel drive.
