Honda displayed its upcoming models, Honda CR-V Hybrid and Honda Civic diesel at the ongoing 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show which opened this Tuesday. Set for its UK debut sometime next year, the Honda CR-V Hybrid prototype made an appearance at the event. The prototype showcased at the motoring show features similar styling as seen in the standard CR-V. Although, Honda is expected to add new elements to the production version. The prototype carries an all-new Intelligent Multi Mode Drive (i-MMD) two-motor hybrid set-up which includes an electric motor and a 2.0-litre petrol unit along with a segregate electric motor generator.
This new system is believed to dispose a conventional transmission even though it comes with single-fixed gear ratio. Furthermore, the system is believed to toggle between all three driving modes depending on the driving condition. Also Read – Upcoming Honda Cars In India
