What does crv240turbo refer to?
2 Answers
crv240turbo refers to the Honda CR-V, a classic urban SUV model produced by Dongfeng Honda Automobile Company. It has the following two specific meanings: 1. The meaning of CR-V: CR-V is the abbreviation of comfortable runabout-vehicle, featuring excellent handling performance, a sporty and fashionable design appearance, equipped with Michelin Latitude series SUV tires, and adopting a four-wheel independent suspension system. 2. The meaning of 240turbo: 240turbo refers to Honda's 1.5t turbocharged engine.
Last year when I rented a car, I drove this generation of CR-V with a 240TURBO badge on the rear. Actually, this '240' refers to the engine's peak torque of 243 N·m (rounded to 240), which is a popular naming convention among domestic automakers nowadays. This 1.5T Earth Dreams engine delivers 193 horsepower and pairs with a CVT for an exceptionally smooth drive. I specifically compared it with the RAV4 in the same segment, whose 2.0L naturally aspirated engine only produces 173 horsepower. Although there's a slight 0.5-second lag in turbo response when climbing steep hills, it's more than sufficient for everyday overtaking. Note that when buying used, check for the oil dilution issue—some 2018 models were recalled for this problem.
