The all-wheel drive version is powered by the more powerful 2.4-litre mill that produces 187.7bhp and 226Nm of peak torque. The special edition models are paired with a five-speed automatic transmission only. The Honda CR-V front wheel drive Plus+ edition is priced at AUD 30,790 (about Rs. 17.3 lakh) while the top-spec 4-wheel drive version of the limited edition model cost AUD 33,790 (approx.
