Honda Australia has added two special edition models to its CR-V line-up with the release of the CR-V Black Edition and CR-V VTi 7 +Luxe.

Both special edition variants are powered by the 1.5-litre VTEC Turbo engine and fitted with smart keyless entry with push button start, 7-inch colour touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as the Honda SENSING suite of driver-assist and safety technologies.

Based on the CR-V VTi, the new CR-V Black Edition has an extensive list of additional features, as well as bespoke ‘Black Edition’ touches.

Honda says that the extra features are normally only available on higher-specification grades, including LED headlights with Active Cornering Lights (ACL), heated front seats, leather-appointed seat trim and 18-inch alloy wheels.

Black Edition exterior design elements include gloss black alloy wheels, smoked headlight treatment, piano black bumper garnishes and dark trivalent chromium finishes around the vehicle.

On the inside, features include embroidered ‘Black Edition’ logos on the front seats, piano black trim on the steering wheel, around the Display Audio screen, gearshift, and ventilation controls, as well as on the door handles and door trim garnishes.

The black theme extends to the roof lining, while a matte-finish dark wood treatment has been applied to the centre console, door trims and dashboard inlays.

The CR-V Black Edition is available in Crystal Black and Platinum White pearlescent exterior paint colours, with a national drive away price of $44,600.

The new CR-V VTi 7 +Luxe adds to the CR-V VTi 7’s long list of standard equipment – which include dual zone climate control with vents for third row passengers, four ports for USB connectivity, multi-angle reversing camera and a tyre pressure monitoring system – with luxury additions comprising leather-appointed seat trim, heated front seats and eight-way power adjustable driver’s seat with two-position memory.

The special edition VTi 7 +Luxe has a national drive away price of $43,700.
