Honda CR V 120 hp and consumption of 4 5 litres 100km

 

To compete in Europe the new Honda CR-V needs a small displacement diesel engine, modest for its power and austere in their consumption. That was one of the few flaws that we highlighted in our test of the Honda CR-V 2.2 i-DTEC 150 hp and why Honda has been quick to include in the CR-V range which will henceforth your engine star in Europe and the turning of its compact model, the Honda Civic.

The new Honda CR-V 1.6 i-DTEC 120 hp and 300 Nm of torque is available with front-wheel drive and six-speed manual transmission with an improved gearbox compared to that present in 2.2 i-DTEC (is 7 kg lighter, his retreat is softer and has worked for your touch more enjoyable). The most plausible we will have in their consumption, which according approved combined cycle is 4.5 litres/100 kilometers, and its emissions below 120 g / km of CO2. In Spain would be exempt from registration tax.

Since this engine has been designed specifically for the European market, production will take place exclusively at the Swindon factory in the UK, which will get a 1.6 i-DTEC engine every 138 seconds. The Honda CR-V 1.6 i-DTEC system will stop-start as standard, efficient driving assistant and ECON button that limits the work of the air conditioning compressor so that its load on the engine, and therefore their influence on the consumption is lower.

 

 

Among his rivals, few compact SUVs can boast a certified consumption figures as low. To mention two examples, the Mazda CX-5 SKYACTIV-D 2.2 (150 hp) homologous FWD similar consumption is more powerful. Another example is the Toyota RAV-4 with 124 hp 120D homologous 4.9 litres/100 kilometers.
