What transmission does the Honda CR-V use?
2 Answers
Honda CR-V is equipped with two types of transmissions: a 6-speed manual transmission and a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). The continuously variable transmission is a type of automatic transmission that can continuously obtain any transmission ratio within the speed range. Through the CVT, the optimal match between the transmission system and the engine conditions can be achieved. The difference between this transmission and a conventional automatic transmission is that it eliminates the complex and bulky gear combination transmission and instead uses only two sets of pulleys for speed transmission. The Honda CR-V is a classic urban SUV model produced by Dongfeng Honda Automobile Company. In terms of body dimensions, the Honda CR-V measures 4550mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1685mm in height.
I just bought a Honda CR-V with a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). After driving it for half a year, I find it exceptionally smooth. There's no jerking during acceleration—it's as fluid as ice skating, especially useful in congested city traffic. This transmission keeps the engine at an efficient RPM, significantly reducing fuel consumption. My combined mileage is around 7 liters per 100 kilometers. Honda chose CVT for its fuel economy and comfort, making it a boon for commuters. However, during aggressive driving, the engine noise can be a bit louder, but it doesn’t affect daily use. Maintenance is straightforward—just remember to change the transmission fluid regularly to extend its lifespan. I recommend test-driving it to experience its charm firsthand. In short, as a family SUV, this combination is very reliable.
