Honda Motor has presented under brand Modulo two new tuning variants for external tuning of crossover CR-V. The structure of variants is traditional enough, but they are executed at rather high design level.
Off-road Honda Modulo
Two workings out Modulo have a various stylistic orientation. The first tuning variant is focused on the sports shape, the second urged to underline some lines inherent in an off-road car, rather than to a crossover. Thus the set of elements is practically identical: forward and back bumpers, overlays on thresholds, a tuning lattice of a radiator. Also it is possible to complete the car with a small spoiler in a back part of a roof. For each tuning package carbon wheels of own design are provided.
In an interior of the car of changes practically it is not noticed, except for a material of registration of the top part of the central console: here there was a carbon.
Cost of complete sets Modulo is not informed. As to possibility of their acquisition outside of Japan the similar probability is present, in the form of purchase through the Internet, or in the countries of South East Asia where Japanese brand Modulo also is presented.
The rating is made in the Great Britain, proceeding from statistical data on 250 models 30 of various marks in total in 50,000 units. The annual report Warranty Direct published by the British insurance company for demonstration and an estimation of risks at insurance, displays two key parametres.
2010 Honda Modulo
The 1st — average probability of breakage of the car within a year, the second — the average sum of the account which owners receive for each case of repair. In research data on cars at the age of 3 — are used 6 years.
According to published data, the highest rating of reliability belongs Japanese Honda. Insurers assert, that the probability of breakage of the car of this mark makes 10,59%. As to average cost of the account for repair here Honda only on 9 place (295,42 pounds sterling), and it is considered the most accessible repair Czech Skoda. Other Japanese car marks have not entered into ten the most accessible at repair cost. But in the basic rating of reliability they have appeared more than at height. After Honda on the second line has settled down Mazda with probability of breakages in 13,03%. With the minimum backlog a three closes Toyota (13,08%), on fourth place Subaru (13,92%). Nissan, Mitsubishi and Lexus have taken places from the sixth on the eighth accordingly.
The latest place in a rating of reliability Warranty Direct of surprises has not brought — here has settled down Land Rover with probability of breakages in 46,74%.
Insurers notice, that the rating does not apply for absolute accuracy as reflects only statistical data. Special attention composers turn that high cost of accounts for repair and service not necessarily speaks about high total expenses on the car. This indicator should be considered only according to a place in reliability rating. Differently, expensive repair of model, recognised reliable, being made seldom enough, with interest pays off in comparison with frequent "injections" in less reliable models.
After some days after the beginning of sales in Japan restyling the version the minivein and updatings of firm tuning packages from Mugen, on the market leaves version Modulo.
