Fantastic !!.

If they launch the diesel version and price it correctly, the capiva and Santa Fe better watch out.

AMATMO · 24th March 2008, 16:57

FINALLY its here! i thought it will never come(well not in near future)

honda certainly looks keen on beating its diesel competitors now

diabloo · 24th March 2008, 16:57

Great find, this is a historical event !!!

shuvd · 24th March 2008, 16:58

Woo-hoo! Nice scoop!! Thanks Raajiv.
So, at last Indian diesel quality has improved enough for the extremely super high tech Honda diesels eh?

akshay1234 · 24th March 2008, 16:58

they probably are. please take off the images and watermark them. i thought honda had said that the diesel quality in india wasnt good enough for their diesels. look like theyve changed thier mind. also with the captiva and so many other diesel suvs i think this is a good move.

Akshay,

What is that water-marking and how to do that?

GTO · 24th March 2008, 17:07

Honda has finally bitten the diesel bullet!!! I guess the Indian market coerced them into it. For all the rave reviews that Honda's diesel unit has received, it will instantly have a long line of Indian followers. We can be sure that the new Accord will receive this engine too. Slam Dunk on its D-segment competitors? My only concern is how well they will be able to price it? The CBU CRV is already overpriced.

Awesome pics...thanks for sharing.

I thought they said India is not yet ready for them to launch their Diesel units. Anyway good move by honda. This unit in Accord can kill camry and paralyse Laura.

Raajiv, excellent scoop, thanks for sharing

Exactly - I would say this would be in the X-trail territory. I cannot see Honda pricing it in the Endeavour band.

SumitB · 24th March 2008, 17:14

Looking at the pics, they certainly look closer to launch. I won't be surprised if it happens soon.

nitrous · 24th March 2008, 17:16

SURE SUCCESS!

The Indian Junta would pay anything for a Diesel honda SUV.
There will be demand even if its a lakh more than 20.

stable rock · 24th March 2008, 17:20

great find Rajeev....hope that honda price them sensibly.

manveet · 24th March 2008, 17:20

Yipeee !!!

I think I've finally decided on my next SUV ..

khan_sultan · 24th March 2008, 17:21

Won't the diesel CRV literally kill the petrol CRV sales? Given an option, most would prefer the diesel CRV to the petrol one. Why would one buy a petrol CRV is the diesel one is made available?

So does this mean that, slowly, honda will remove the petrol CRV from the market?
