The subtly revised compact SUV benefits from new bumper and grille designs on the outside while the cabin has been refreshed with upgraded fabrics and plastics as well as a new audio console.

It can be matted to either a either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 5-speed automatic gearbox.

The facelifted CR-V is also offered with a 2.0-liter petrol engine that remains unchanged for 2010 producing 150HP at 6,200rpm and 192Nm of torque at 4,200rpm.
Manual versions of the petrol CR-V sprint to 62mph in 10.2 seconds (automatic: 12.2 sec) and reach a top speed of 118mph (automatic: 110mph) with a combined fuel economy of 34.4mpg UK (automatic: 33.6mpg UK).
