| Drive system | Catalog fuel efficiency (km/L) | Actual fuel consumption (km/L) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| petrol car | 2WD | 14.2 | 10.8 |
| 4WD | 13.6 | 8.2 | |
| e:HEV (hybrid) | 2WD | 21.2 | 18.9 |
| 4WD | 20.2 | 16.3 |
✔The fuel efficiency of CR-V hybrid vehicles greatly exceeds the fuel efficiency of rival vehicles such as Subaru “Forester” and Nissan “X-Trail” hybrid vehicles.
Characteristics of the CR-V powertrain
The current 5th generation CR-V, which appeared in May 2018, has two types: a 1.5L in- line 4-cylinder turbo engine and a hybrid system “e: HEV” that combines two motors with a 2.0L in-line 4-cylinder engine. of powertrains are available.
Equipped with a turbocharger, the 1.5L in-line 4-cylinder turbo engine exhibits torque comparable to that of a 2.4LNA engine over a wide rev range while downsizing, achieving both powerful acceleration from the start and improved fuel efficiency.
“e:HEV” is Honda’s original hybrid system equipped with two motors for power generation and driving, and has three driving modes: motor-only driving, engine driving, and hybrid driving using both engine and motor. It is characterized by achieving both low fuel consumption and torque equivalent to a 3.0L V6 engine by using it properly according to the situation.
Catalog fuel consumption of CR-V
CR-V WLTC mode catalog fuel economy is as follows.
| grade | Drive system | Fuel consumption (km/L) |
|---|---|---|
| EX | 2WD | 14.2 |
| 4WD | 13.6 | |
| EX・Masterpiece | 2WD | 14.2 |
| 4WD | 13.6 | |
| EX・BLACK EDITION | 2WD | 14.2 |
| 4WD | 13.6 | |
| e: HEV EX | 2WD | 21.2 |
| 4WD | 20.2 | |
| e: HEV EX・Masterpiece | 2WD | 21.2 |
| 4WD | 20.2 | |
| e:HEV EX・BLACK EDITION | 2WD | 21.2 |
| 4WD | 20.2 |
Actual fuel consumption of CR-V
According to the site ” e fuel consumption “, which collects the actual fuel consumption data of owners riding CR-V, the actual fuel consumption of CR-V (as of May 12, 2021) is as follows.
| Drive system | Fuel consumption (km/L) | |
|---|---|---|
| petrol car | 2WD | 10.8 |
| 4WD | 8.2 | |
| e:HEV (hybrid vehicle) | 2WD | 18.9 |
| 4WD | 16.3 |
WLTC mode fuel economy is an average of three modes: city mode, which is affected by traffic lights and traffic jams, suburban mode, which is less affected by traffic lights and traffic jams, and highway mode, which assumes driving on highways. It consists of usage time allocation, and is a fuel consumption measurement method used not only in Japan but also internationally. As a catalog spec, it tends to be lower than the JC08 mode fuel consumption that has been used conventionally in Japan.
WLTC mode fuel consumption is measured by a method that is closer to the actual usage environment of the car, but it does not mean that there is no difference from the actual fuel consumption, and there is a difference of about 1.5% depending on the driving method and driving environment. It seems that there are many
Considering that point, it must be said that the difference between the catalog fuel consumption of CR-V and the actual fuel consumption is larger than the average value.
CR-V driving performance
Source: Honda “CR-V” design color
The CR-V has been driven on the autobahn in Germany, on the mountain roads in Austria, and in Spain, where the temperature is high and the engine is in a harsh environment.We are pursuing world-class driving performance . In addition, by revamping the frame, a lightweight, highly rigid body with a low center of gravity has been achieved , improving basic performance. This ensures a light and stable ride over a wide speed range.
CR-V with excellent fuel efficiency and driving performance
In addition to the driving performance expected of Honda vehicles, the CR-V has sufficient fuel efficiency. In particular, the fuel efficiency of the hybrid system-equipped vehicle called “e:HEV” surpasses that of rival vehicles. This is the best model for those who want to enjoy an active car life unique to an SUV without worrying about fuel costs.
In order to enjoy your car life to the fullest, we recommend that you check fuel efficiency at the stage of choosing a car.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How much is CR-V’s catalog fuel efficiency?
A: The CR-V has two types of powertrain settings: a 1.5L in-line 4-cylinder turbo engine and a hybrid system “e:HEV” that combines two motors with a 2.0L in-line 4-cylinder engine. The CR-V’s WLTC mode fuel consumption is 14.2km/L for petrol 2WD vehicles, 13.6km/L for 4WD vehicles, 21.2km/L for “e:HEV” 2WD vehicles, and 20.2km/L for 4WD vehicles.
Q2: What is the difference between the actual fuel consumption of the CR-V and the catalog fuel consumption?
A: The actual fuel consumption of the CR-V is 10.8km/L for petrol 2WD vehicles, 8.2km/L for 4WD vehicles, 18.9km/L for “e:HEV” 2WD vehicles, and 16.3km/L for 4WD vehicles. The WLTC mode is a fuel consumption measurement method that gives values closer to the actual fuel consumption than the JC08 mode that has been used in Japan, but it is generally said that there is a difference of about 10 to 1.5%. Considering that point, it can be said that the difference between the catalog fuel consumption of CR-V and the actual fuel consumption is larger than the average value.
Q3: How does the CR-V’s fuel economy compare to rival vehicles?
A: Subaru “Forester” and Nissan “X-Trail” are the rival cars of CR-V. The catalog fuel efficiency of the CR-V hybrid vehicle greatly exceeds the catalog fuel efficiency of these two hybrid vehicles.
Q4: What is the driving performance of CR-V?
A: The CR-V has been driven on the Autobahn in Germany and on the mountain roads in Austria, all over Europe, in pursuit of world-class driving performance.
