What brand of transmission is used in the CR-V?
2 Answers
Honda CR-V has been equipped with the new "Earth Dreams" technology series direct injection engine and CVT transmission. More information about Honda CR-V is as follows: 1. The new CR-V has replaced the old combination of 2.4L i-VTEC engine + 5-speed parallel-axis AT that had been in service for many years, and adopted the latest 2.4L direct injection engine + CVT powertrain combination, which is Honda's impressive Earth Dreams Technology "Earth Dreams" engine in recent years. 2. The newly equipped 2.4L gasoline engine adopts Honda's unique i-VTEC technology and direct injection system. In addition, the 2.0L engine continues to use the old model, and has been optimized and upgraded in terms of fuel economy.
I've been driving a Honda CR-V for several years, equipped with Honda's own continuously variable transmission (abbreviated as CVT), which provides an exceptionally smooth driving experience. Most gasoline models after 2015 come with this transmission. For daily city commuting, this type of transmission is fuel-efficient and quiet, avoiding the gear-shift jerks common in older automatic transmissions. I remember during last year's maintenance, the technician reminded me to regularly check the transmission fluid and cooling system. Generally, changing the fluid every 60,000 kilometers can prevent slipping issues. The hybrid version uses an e-CVT, which has a different structure but is also manufactured by Honda, focusing on high efficiency and energy savings. Overall, Honda transmissions are quite reliable with low long-term costs, as long as maintenance isn't neglected. If any issues arise, getting a professional diagnosis at a specialized shop is always more reliable than opting for a roadside repair.
