What is the steel strength of the CRV?
2 Answers
CRV steel strength is 780MPa. Body steel strength: The proportion of ultra-high-strength steel in the body structure is as follows, only 9%; it covers the upper part of the A-pillar and B-pillar on the driver's side and the threshold area, which are reinforced with a roll-formed structure. The yield strength of the steel is 1500MPa. Frame steel strength: The steel used in the longitudinal beams is also not ultra-high-strength steel, but only ordinary steel with 780MPa. The reinforced areas connecting the A-pillar and the frame on both sides also use only ordinary high-strength steel with 980MPa. From this, it can be inferred that the vehicle's 40% offset collision test can still provide qualified protection.
I've been driving a Honda CR-V for many years and noticed its body steel is quite reliable, especially in safety zones. For example, the A-pillars and B-pillars use hot-formed high-strength steel with a strength of around 1500 MPa. This number sounds technical, but it essentially means it's super rigid and can effectively absorb collision energy. The CR-V often scores high in crash tests like the IIHS, partly thanks to these materials. In daily driving, the overall body frame also uses 980 MPa steel to ensure it doesn't feel soft during turns or bumps. However, steel maintenance is also important—avoid scratches and rust, otherwise the strength may degrade. As an owner, I think it's a good investment that makes journeys more reassuring.
