Hi all, waiting for my new UK CR-V 7 seater model to arrive.
My old car is a 14 year old Honda Accord which I'm gonna have to dump due to the ULEZ taxes.

Welcome to the forum! Of course, we'll want the full rundown on the new ride, with pictures!

WELCOME!

Tell us (or provide a LINK) about how those ULEZ taxes work. Do they have exemptions for classic or collector cars?

Here's an ULEZ article about it for classic cars London ULEZ: 9 things classic car drivers need to know | Classic & Sports Car

if your classic is more than 40 years old and is registered for the historic vehicle tax class, you will not need to pay the ULEZ charge.

So my Honda Accord doesn't qualify

YAY!

Another Brit!

Glad to have you join!

Which spec/trim is your 7-seat CR-V? Did you go with the CVT or manual?

Colour/optional extras? Please do share your pics when your machine arrives!

Honda CVT SR with Black Leather trim in Crystal Red, rubber floor mats, mud guards, door visor (door wind deflectors), inner boot sill decoration. So not fully featured but I might add door scruff plate later on and maybe the boot decoration but that is more for decoration, also gonna install a dash cam at some time. This will be my first automatic car though as I'm sick of the clutch in traffic. My major gripe for the moment is the 7 seater doesn't have a boot cover so have to look into what I can do to hide my boot.

Yes its quite bizarre that the 7-seat doesnt have a tonneau cover.

You might wanna check whether there are cut outs in the side body trim where the cover fits. Without that, not sure how you'd install one.

Unless I am mistaken, SR is the only top trim available for the 7-seat model, leaving the top-top EX trim only for the standard 5 seater, like I have.

Yup SR is top trim for 7 seater, but it's missing sunroof and other features that are available in 7 seaters models in other countries (e.g. Japan, USA). But hopefully I don't miss it too much.

I'm hoping the slots are available for the tonneau cover, the windows are tinted out so that gives a little more security.

Looking at the video below (7min mark), it doesnt appear to have the tonneau slots:
