All those who wished that Honda CR-V had diesel variants can see their dream come true soon. Honda is planning to bring in a diesel variants for the modern SUV. The petrol version has already set a high standard for quality. However, the key factor will be pricing. If Honda plans to keep the prices, it will naturally cut costs on interior comforts. The diesel variants could come without automatic transmission and CD changers.
The CR-V is facing stiff competition from Chevrolet Captiva. Honda would also not like to upset its customers with a high priced diesel variant as Captiva already has an affordable diesel variant below the CR-V price range.
It remains to be seen whether the two will compete neck to neck or one will beat the other in technology and competition.

It is great news that the CR-V will come with a diesel variants soon. It should have been introduced along with the petrol version. But i suspect that company wanted to test water wit the petrol version rather then charge a higher price for the diesel version.
However, where running costs is calculated to the last drop, every paise counts. Hence diesel will easily fit its portfolio .
Honda CR-v is a great vehicle and i was thinking why they were not bringing out the diesel version.so there will be a price change too? if any one is aware of the price tag it carries then please inform me through raju123raju@gmail.com.
Diesel version have always been costlier than petrol variants. CR-V has bee a great hit in upper segment of SUV buyers. But of course Diesel SUV have not been very popular. So it remains to be seen if diesel CR-V will push sales graph up.
