What is the actual fuel consumption of the Honda CR-V?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Honda CR-V is 6.4 liters per 100 kilometers. Methods to reduce fuel consumption are as follows: Strive to reduce the vehicle's weight: The relationship between vehicle weight and fuel consumption is directly proportional. It is said that for every 10% reduction in vehicle weight, fuel consumption will correspondingly decrease by several percentage points. Improve the vehicle's aerodynamics: The fuel consumption will significantly decrease with a lower drag coefficient. The relationship between these two factors is also directly proportional. Maximize the thermal efficiency of the engine: Currently, the thermal efficiency of typical gasoline engines (i.e., the proportion of fuel converted into useful work) reaches over 30%, while diesel engines have exceeded 40%. This is the main reason why diesel engines have lower fuel consumption than gasoline engines.
I drive a Honda CR-V 1.5T gasoline version, mainly for commuting in the city. In summer, with the AC on and stuck in traffic, the fuel consumption can reach around 11L/100km at its worst. On the highway, it can drop to about 7L/100km. On average, it's around 8 to 9L/100km. It's definitely higher than the official data, especially with frequent traffic lights and AC usage. If you're particularly concerned about fuel consumption, I'd suggest looking at the hybrid version. My neighbor's hybrid only uses a little over 5L/100km in traffic, but the car price is tens of thousands more. There are also fuel-saving tips, like avoiding sudden braking, anticipating road conditions in advance, and maintaining proper tire pressure, which can save about 0.5L/100km.
