Do you have a Japanese model?

Currently, there is no announcement of a Japanese model, but in fact, the current model “CR-V” will be launched in China, Southeast Asia, South America and Russia from October 2016, starting with sales in the North American market. Since the production of the “CR-V” had stopped in Japan, it was launched on August 31, 2018, about two years behind schedule, which is now four years. In terms of the cycle, the new CR-V will probably be announced one to two years late in the Japanese market, but the CR-V is so good this time around that I’d like to see a full model change as soon as possible.
