Honda SEMA Show lineup celebrates 60 years in the US

MANILA:  With SEMA Show about to open, Honda decided to highlight its 60 years in the US by offering an awesome lineup of tricked-out vehicles and motorbikes in its booth. The highlight of their display will focus on a pair of 2020 CR-V –a 2020 CR-V Hybrid and a 2020 CR-V “Dream” built by Jsport Performance Accessories with the theme “overlander” and “weekend warrior.”

The overlander-themed CR-V “Dream” is customized for the less beaten path and adventure seekers looking to be self-reliant during travel. It features an organization cabinet and a slide-out refrigerator on the cargo area, and a clamshell-style rooftop tent. Other modifications include a 1.5-inch lift kit, side steps, front bumper, rear tire gate, roof rack, and a 17-inch KMC off-road wheels with Nitto Ridge Grappler all-terrain tires. 

On the other hand, the weekend warrior-themed CR-V Hybrid “Do” is created by Jsport with the “weekend warrior” in mind, someone who needs a versatile vehicle that will transport him or her to the nearest trailhead, while retaining the everyday practicality that the CR-V provides.

Modifications include a 1.5-inch lift kit, side steps, and roof basket from Jsport, 17-inch KMC off-road wheels with Nitto Terra Grappler all-terrain tires, and a Cannondale mountain bike mounted to the roof basket.
