The European version of Honda Motor Co.’s 2019 CR-V crossover vehicle will include a variant with three rows of seating—an any-market first for the model.
The vehicle, which is due at European dealerships this autumn, will be publicly unveiled at next week’s Geneva auto show. Honda hasn’t said if the three-row CR-V will be available in the U.S.
The carmaker confirms it also is bringing the hybrid variant of the CR-V to Europe. That vehicle will share its electrified powertrain with the Honda Accord.
Honda launched the hybrid variant of the CR-V last year in China. The carmaker has no immediate plans to bring the vehicle to the U.S.
