What is the actual fuel consumption of the Honda CR-V 1.5T?
2 Answers
Honda CR-V 1.5T has a combined fuel consumption of 5.6-7.3L/100km. Currently, there are 9 models of the Honda CR-V 1.5T available for sale. The CVT 2WD Urban Edition and CVT 2WD Fashion Edition have a fuel consumption of 6.4L/100km. The Manual 2WD Classic Edition and CVT 2WD Comfort Edition have a fuel consumption of 6.6L/100km. The CVT 4WD Luxury Edition and CVT 4WD Premium Edition have a fuel consumption of 6.7L/100km. The CVT 2WD Black Knight Edition has a fuel consumption of 6.8L/100km. The 4WD Black Knight Edition and 4WD Premium Edition have a fuel consumption of 7.3L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 5.9-14.5L/100km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements generally mean higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight also have higher fuel consumption because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline is less likely to atomize during a cold start, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer controls the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving a Honda CR-V 1.5T for several years, and the actual fuel consumption is slightly higher than the official rating of 7L/100km. During daily city commuting with heavy traffic, it can reach around 9L, and it's not very fuel-efficient when driving faster. However, on weekends when driving on highways or in suburban areas, maintaining a steady speed can bring it down to about 7.5L. I think driving habits make a significant difference—avoiding sudden acceleration and hard braking can save half a liter to a liter of fuel. Additionally, low tire pressure increases fuel consumption, so I check the tire pressure monthly, and fuel efficiency drops a bit in cold weather. Overall, it's a practical car for daily commuting, but paying attention to these small details helps save fuel.
