Honda CR-V Review: A Smooth and Reliable Ride - Economy

Economy

Being a 2.2-litre engine, with a CVT gearbox, and 140kW, the fuel consumption does take a bit of a hit. You can keep it round the 10 l/100kms mark if you drive carefully, if you make full use of the 140kW you’re probably in for a bit of a shock, but on the open road it does become a bit more manageable.

Another economy killer is the permanent 4x4 the CR-V has, which has it’s uses on slippery road surfaces, but might just be overkill for the SA market.
