What does 'range' mean on a Honda?
2 Answers
Honda's 'range' refers to the average fuel consumption, which is a dashboard display function of the Honda CR-V. Taking the 2021 Honda CR-V as an example, it is a compact SUV with the following dimensions: length 4621mm, width 1855mm, height 1679mm, wheelbase 2661mm, fuel tank capacity 53L, and curb weight 1506kg. The 2021 Honda CR-V features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 193PS, maximum power of 142kW, and maximum torque of 243Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I think the term 'Range' is quite commonly used in daily driving, referring to the driving range of Honda vehicles. For Honda's electric or hybrid cars, it means how far you can go on a full charge or tank of fuel. I usually drive a Honda Insight hybrid, and the official claim is that it can travel over 600 kilometers on a single charge and tank, but in actual use, I've noticed it drops to around 550 kilometers when facing high-speed wind resistance or using air conditioning. It all depends on driving habits—fuel-efficient techniques like avoiding sudden braking and maintaining smooth acceleration can extend it a bit. Honda also has other models like the Clarity PHEV, with a pure electric range of 50-80 kilometers, suitable for short commutes. To avoid range anxiety, I regularly maintain my car, checking tire pressure and battery health to prevent unexpected drops. When choosing a car, I always pay attention to this data, as it gives me more peace of mind for long trips.
