This premium interior is capped off with Black Edition-logoed mats.Honda UK managing director Dave Hodgetts commented: \u201cBoth the HR-V and CR-V are much loved by customers, and the CR-V Black Edition has gone down extremely well with those looking for something a little more distinctive and individual along with some nice premium touches.\u201dThe Black Edition HR-V is set to hit forecourts over the next few weeks, while the CR-V equivalent is available now."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Latest News","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Off Road Cars","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/\/off-road-cars\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Honda goes dark with Black Edition SUVs","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/off-road-cars\/honda-goes-dark-black-edition-suvs\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
