2023 Honda CR-V Patent Images Leaked
The CR-V is a popular compact crossover SUV by Honda which is currently in its 5th generation that debuted back in October 2016 and went on sale starting from North American markets in December 2016. The compact crossover SUV received a facelift in 2020.
In March last year, spy shots of a camouflaged test mule of 6th generation Honda CR-V doing test rounds on European roads appeared on the internet, giving us a hit on how the new CR-V will look like. Now however, a patent filing image the 6th generation model has leaked online showing a clear impression of its design.

The new CR-V will be much biggest than the current 5th gen model with sharper & clean lines, a flat bonnet, sleek headlamps and fascia that seems to have transformed Honda’s current signature solid wing design identity into a much slimmer iteration. There are sharper headlamps and a large mesh grille up front. The image also reveals a tail lamp assembly that could be less boomerang-shaped when seen in profile, while the door handles are now located below the character line instead of on it, as on the current model.
