Can the Honda XR-V's rearview mirrors not be folded?
2 Answers
Honda XR-V's rearview mirrors do not have an electric folding function. If you want to fold the mirrors, you need to do it manually. Additional information is as follows: 1. Powertrain: The XR-V is a compact SUV under Honda, equipped with two types of engines: a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine delivers 131 horsepower and a maximum torque of 155 Nm, with a maximum power output at 6,600 rpm and maximum torque at 4,600 rpm. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine produces 177 horsepower and a maximum torque of 220 Nm, with maximum power output at 6,000 rpm and maximum torque ranging from 1,700 to 5,500 rpm. 2. Suspension: The XR-V uses a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. Compact SUVs typically employ torsion beam rear suspensions due to their simple structure, compact size, and minimal space requirements. Using a torsion beam rear suspension helps maximize rear passenger and trunk space.
I remember the old Honda XR-V manual version didn't come with power-folding mirrors – you had to fold them by hand. Once when I helped my neighbor check his 2015 manual model, the mirrors were purely mechanical. In winter when frozen, you had to skillfully push the mirror base upward before folding to avoid breaking it. Later, checking the specs revealed that post-2021 mid-to-high trim levels like the 1.5L Comfort Edition started featuring power folding, where long-pressing the lock button on the key fob automatically retracts them. If you can't find the folding icon near the mirror adjustment button, chances are your car lacks this feature. For those determined to upgrade, Taobao sells motor kits for around 800 RMB, though door panel removal and wiring are required.
