Rumors said no 7s version for gen6 CRV. Most who went to preview, SA said so.
Why Honda Malaysia scared to bring 7s?
I don't think its a rumors, its a fact that CRV in Malaysia will never get 3rd row
Only few country got it like,,, if I not mistaken, Indonesia, Thailand, and few more, this country really put people as much as their can in their car, have you been to Thailand and Indonesia,, look how they carry passengers at back of their pick up trucks, or inside their SUVs and MPVs
I remember reading, but dont remember where and when, that customer based on Honda survey,, most never fully use the 3rd row seating.
For some country they got Honda Pilot come with 3rd row seating to cater the needs.
Here in Malaysia people will buy MPV for another row of seating with sliding doors, its troublesome to come out from 3rd row using normal door.
In Malaysia only few SUV come with 3rd row, X-Trail one of it,, damn horror experience if you seated at the 3rd row
No doubts, CRV build for 3rd row seating, look at how the passengers door opening, soo wide.
And its all come back to Honda design Philosophy the M/M Principle. Man Maximum, Machine Minimum.
