What is the RPM of CR-V at 120 km/h?
4 Answers
The RPM of CR-V at 120 km/h is around 2100. The Honda CR-V is a classic urban SUV model produced by Dongfeng Honda. The 2015 CR-V features a sporty and stylish design, paired with Michelin Latitude series SUV tires, delivering excellent handling performance. Below are the power modes of the CR-V: 1. EV Mode (EV): During startup and mid-to-low-speed cruising, the high-power battery drives the motor, providing a strong sense of acceleration. 2. Hybrid Mode (HEV): When strong acceleration is needed, the engine power is used for electricity generation, working together with the battery to drive the motor, producing powerful force. This enables seamless and smooth acceleration while achieving instant speed boosts. During vehicle deceleration, energy is recovered through the motor to charge the battery. 3. Engine Direct Drive Mode (ENG): During high-speed cruising, the engine's power is directly transmitted to the wheels via the clutch in the built-in E-CVT.
As a CR-V owner, when driving on the highway at 120 km/h, my engine speed usually maintains between 2000 to 2500 RPM, depending on the specific model configuration. For instance, my 1.5L turbocharged engine paired with a CVT transmission is intelligently designed to automatically adjust gear ratios for maintaining low RPM and high efficiency. If the road has an incline or the vehicle is heavily loaded, the RPM may slightly increase by a few dozen revolutions, but the overall change is minimal. This RPM range is the result of deliberate optimization by Honda engineers to reduce noise and extend engine lifespan, making it quieter and more fuel-efficient compared to other SUVs at the same speed. During maintenance, it's important to check the transmission fluid and air filter to avoid long-term high-RPM wear on components.
I've driven my CR-V on long trips many times, and at a speed of 120 km/h, the RPM stays stable at around 2,300, which feels quite good—the engine noise is low, the CVT transmission shifts smoothly without any jerking, and the fuel consumption is about 7 liters per 100 km. This is related to the engine type; the 1.5T version might have slightly lower RPM, while the 2.0L naturally aspirated version could be a bit higher. Carrying loads or using the air conditioning might cause the RPM to fluctuate to 2,400, but it doesn’t affect comfort. Maintaining this RPM range helps reduce mechanical fatigue. It’s recommended to regularly service the filters and not overlook tire pressure, as it affects efficiency.
I think the CR-V maintains about 2,200 rpm at 120 kilometers per hour, and Honda's CVT system handles it well to avoid high-revving roar. The key factor affecting engine speed is load—it stays low on flat roads but rises slightly when climbing. Low rpm means quieter driving and better fuel efficiency, squeezing more kilometers out of every liter.
