Where are Australian Honda CR-V made?
The Honda CR-V, a popular compact SUV, is manufactured in several locations around the world, including Australia. The CR-V sold in the Australian market is primarily produced at Honda's manufacturing facility in Swindon, United Kingdom.
Honda CR-V Production in Australia
While Honda does have a manufacturing plant in Australia, located in the city of Melbourne, the CR-V model sold in the Australian market is not produced at this facility. The Australian-market CR-V is instead imported from Honda's production site in Swindon, UK. This is because the Australian plant focuses on the production of other Honda models, such as the Civic and Accord, for the local and regional markets.
Honda's Global Manufacturing Footprint
Honda operates manufacturing facilities in several countries to serve different regional markets. In addition to the UK plant that produces CR-Vs for Australia, other key production sites for the CR-V model include:
- United States: Honda's largest CR-V production facility is located in East Liberty, Ohio, serving the North American market.
- Canada: The company also has a CR-V production line at its Alliston, Ontario plant.
- Japan: Honda's Yorii plant in Saitama Prefecture is another major source of CR-V units, primarily for the domestic Japanese market.
- China: Honda has several joint-venture plants in China that produce the CR-V for the Chinese market.
By having a global manufacturing footprint, Honda is able to efficiently supply the CR-V to various regional markets around the world, including Australia, while optimizing production and logistics.
