3. Honda CR-V Diesel 2WD/AWD

The two versions of diesel CRV will share the same package. The diesel trims could edge out the lower-priced petrol with its added third row. The sliding second row enables effortless access to the third row. The best part is that the third row also gets its own AC vent with separate controls. The third row will extend the seating capacity of the CR-V to seven-seater. It also means that a big family could find it an appealing offer.

To boost the performance of the 9-speed automatic diesel version, the diesel CRV 2WD and AWD will come with the button gear shifter along with the paddle shift. For the all-wheel-drive version only, there will be the torque indicator display in the digital instrument cluster. 

For short, CR-V Diesel will get bonus features over the CRV with the following list:

  • Third-row seat

  • Button gear shifter and paddle shift (Automatic version)

  • Independent roof-mounted AC vent for the third row

  • Torque indicator on display (AWD version only)

4. Verdict:

All trims of the CR-V are all well-equipped with many advanced techs under its belt. There are only minor differences between the petrol and the diesel version. The highlight feature that the diesel version gets over petrol is the seven-seater layout. Basically, the consideration will come down to five-seater vs seven-seater. So if you have a large family or interested in hosting a group hang-out, the diesel version might be the right option for you.
