The show car was built by Jsport Performance Accessories, a manufacturer of aftermarket components for Hondas, and is styled as an overlander — an off-road vehicle for travel.
The basis of the Honda CR-V Dream project was the updated crossover with a 1.5-liter turbo engine. After the restyling, the "four" of the VTEC Turbo family is the base unit, as it was decided to abandon the 2.4 naturally aspirated engine — it was replaced by a hybrid with the i-MMD system based on a 2.0-liter engine running on the Atkinson cycle. In the American specification, the turbo engine produces 193 horsepower and is paired only with a CVT.
The overlanding Honda CR-V was equipped with a suspension lift kit, which increased ground clearance to 246 millimeters, side steps, an updated front bumper with additional daytime running lights, a rear spare tire mount, a Plateau modular roof rack, KMC off-road wheels with Nitto Ridge Grappler tires, and a Roofnest Falcon awning. In the crossover's trunk, a storage system with sliding drawers and a refrigerator was installed.
