Where is the air intake located on the CR-V?

[DeEmmanuel]

CR-V's air intake is positioned at the front grille. The primary functions of a vehicle's air intake system are as follows: Engine: It delivers clean, dry, sufficient, and stable air to the engine to meet its operational requirements, while preventing airborne impurities and large particulate contaminants from entering the combustion chamber, which could cause abnormal engine wear. Noise reduction: Another critical role of the intake system is to minimize noise and regulate airflow. Excessive noise not only affects the vehicle externally but also impacts cabin noise levels, significantly influencing ride comfort. Performance: The design quality of the intake system directly affects engine power output and noise characteristics, which are intrinsically linked to overall vehicle comfort. Properly designed muffler components can reduce subsystem noise and enhance the vehicle's NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) performance.
