    Commenting on the start of production of the new CR-V, HCM Senior Vice President Clement D’Souza said, “”Being the global lead plant for the new CR-V was a great challenge, but I am proud of the experienced team at HCM and the level of (development) teamwork that went into creating this great new model in North America. commented.

    The new CR-V, the sixth generation model, made its world premiere in the U.S. on July 12, 2022, with body dimensions of 184.8 inches (4693 mm) long x 73.4 inches (1864 mm) wide x 66.2-66.6 inches (1681- 1691 mm) high.

    The power units to be installed will be a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine or a 2-liter inline 4-cylinder engine + 2-motor hybrid.

    Incidentally, since development of the new CR-V began in the early stages of the new Corona disaster, HCM was also involved in the creation of the development prototype. The company has been collaborating digitally with the Japanese development team, which led to the start of production this time.

    Since the hood is the largest of any U.S. Honda vehicle in its category, the production and development teams worked together to increase the rigidity of the hood by increasing the thickness of the steel plates. As a result, a bold and sophisticated design was successfully mass-produced.

    In addition, the use of high-performance structural adhesives was increased to enhance body rigidity. New equipment and additional training for employees were also introduced for production.

    The Canadian plant is scheduled to begin production of a hybrid version of the new CR-V in October, and as a result, the production of the new CR-V in Canada is expected to account for about half of its sales.”

    Siblingly evolved interior! A look at the interior and exterior of the new Nissan KIX compact SUV .

     The facelifted KIX is equipped with the second-generation “”e-POWER”” engine, and a 4WD model has been added. In addition, a new “”Style Edition”” grade has been added. How has each of these evolved?

     The KIX is produced at Nissan’s plant in Thailand and is a global model that is exported not only to Japan but also to other countries.

     This facelifted model is equipped with the second-generation “”e-POWER”” system, which improves motor output by about 5% and maximum torque by about 7%. In addition to more powerful driving, the new model is also quieter, as the frequency of engine startup at low speeds has been reduced.

     The “”e-Pedal Step,”” which allows acceleration and deceleration to be controlled simply by accelerating the accelerator pedal, has evolved to be even smoother and easier to operate. In addition, fuel economy has been improved by approximately 6.4% to 23.0 km/L in WLTC mode.

     In addition, all grades come with Intelligent FCW (Forward Collision Warning) as standard equipment, a first for a compact SUV. This system uses millimeter wave radar mounted in front of the vehicle to detect the distance and relative speed of vehicles in front of two vehicles, and alerts the driver with a display and alarm if the vehicle is deemed dangerous.

     The interior features an advanced, high-quality interior with a redesigned center console and shift lever. In addition, a beige color has been newly added to the two-tone interior edition in addition to the current orange-tan.

     The new Style Edition grade features a chic interior and exterior, with a soothing deep brown interior and dark chrome grille finisher.

     Prices (including consumption tax) range from 2,798,400 to 3,018,400 yen for the 2WD model and from 3,061,300 to 3,281,300 yen for the 4WD model.

     The price (including consumption tax) is 3,185,600 yen for the 2WD model and 3,448,500 yen for the 4WD model.”
