We rented from the dealership a Honda CRV 2019 with the 1.5 liter turbo and from San Diego to Barstow Ca with no traffic (left at 3:50 am) and using adaptive cruise control we averaged 23.4 mpg when we tanked up in Barstow. Very disappointed with the gas mileage. We also tracked the mileage from Salt Lake City Utah to St George Utah (320 miles) with an elevation drop from 4,400 to just over 2,000 ft above sea level and we averaged just over 26 mpg. The Honda CRV advertised fuel economy is not accurate based on our real life test.
I have a 2009 Honda CRV and live in New York City. I’m only averaging 14 miles a gallon. Very frustrating. I use 87 gas. Wondering if it’s my driving or all the traffic.
If you put winter tires and driving in snow for days what will be the result? I have a 2014 Corolla Le. Summer I get 8.5-8.8/l but winter with winter tires on and heater it drops to 9.5-9.7/L in Toronto. Excellent video though. I am considering this as my next vehicle.
CRV should be getting about 30 mpg, have a 2017 CR-V AWD and normally get the 30MPG with city/highway driving. Noticed any quick starts or using the turbo the MPG goes way down.
It has been my experience Honda inflates the mpg I rented a 2019 Honda CRV with the 1.5 turbo. My wife and I both averaged 26 mpg on the freeway from Salt Lake City to San Diego. That is a far cry from the 33mpg Honda claims. We own a Toyota Rav 4 hybrid 2019 and a 2016 Rav 4 gas version and the gas is exactly what Toyota claims st 28 mpg freeway and the hybrid does a little better than rated by Toyota.
Hi Chaster, we didn't get the opportunity to test out the headlights on the EX-L. Additionally, since it's summer time, we've been having 9pm sunsets - making it almost impossible to even test out the headlights on our Touring model.
Among most SUVs in its category, the CR-V definitely achieves one of the best fuel economies. Check out our channel for fuel economy reviews of other SUVs in its category, including the Nissan Rogue, Mazda CX-5, Mitsubishi Outlander, and KIA Sportage.
hi , good videos , could you be more specific about 80 %city and 20% hiway , why dont you say average speed according to travel a car computer data. thanks
Hi Fotobyte, city vs. highway is a common way of measuring how your speed affects your fuel economy here in North America. City speed can be anywhere between 0-70km/h and highway speed can be anywhere between 100-120km/h. The reason we don't mention average speed is because many vehicles (including this CR-V) don't display this information.
GCowner wow that is bad. I average between 32 to 35 mpg. I do mostly highway driving at 55 mph to get to work. Lots of uphill driving, too! It's possible you have an issue with your motor. I'd get in touch with your dealership about it. Keep in mind though, flat roads or not; that extreme temperatures, pushing the accelerator often and carrying heavy loads will drop your mpg accordingly.
Try doing the test with different grades of gas. The "car average" I seen (mpg) was 28.7 mpg from what the dealer filled the car with. Last night I topped of the tank ( 215 miles driven, 1/2 tank) with 91 octane without 10% ethanol and I watched the average just keep going up. 36.6 mpg is the average now. Its a 2018 Crv ex awd with (now) 267 miles on the car so far. Driving about 75% on the highway (62 mph). Still breaking it in, climate control on (a/c does turn on). I'm happy with that average.
Hi Oso 11, thanks for your comment. The fuel range shown is completely based on your driving habits. For instance, if you spend a lot of time on the highway and then fill up, you will get a higher fuel range number. If you spend a considerable amount of time driving in the city and then fill up, you will get a lower fuel range number.
that is true but you are forgetting that modern cars have many maps pre loaded on the car, and they can switch between maps if they detect higher octane fuel being used via the knock sensor. switching to a more aggressive map will give the car more range and more power.
Are you saying that the sensor detects the fuel type and recalculates based on octane rating?! Drive it for months and you'll see that the octanes make no difference on the fuel efficiency for that brand of car.
SuperPerodjetlic Octane rating does make a difference on fuel economy, especially on a high compression, direct injected, turbo engine. That OP's meter showed more range is because the estimate is based on your previous driving records.
In addition to what Gabriel said, Honda does not equip the CRV with a diesel in NA. I'm going to assume that you are in Britain, which is one of the few places that uses the MPG measurement. If that is the case, a British gallon is actually bigger than a US gallon and therefore, your car is not as fuel efficient as you might think.
@@Lucky8s Exactly. Some people are just not very smart. Not a diesel model. US gallon is smaller than UK gallon do the mpg number is very mislead from a UK mpg.
German cars claim that they can do around 6-7L/100KM. So I suggest you guys go and review more European cars. For starter, a similar class mid-sized SUV, Volkswagen Tiguan, claimed 7.4L/100KM. A reduction from the previous gen Tiguan of 8.8L/100KM. So I'd like to see such comparisons.
It's hard to put the Tiguan in the same class as the CR-V - even though Volkswagen would love to. The Tiguan is smaller than the CR-V, measuring 174x71 inches. This makes it even smaller than the Hyundai Tuscon and the KIA Sportage. Meanwhile the CR-V measures 180x74 inches, in line with other compact SUVs in its segment.
Fuel Economy there's either a Tiguan or a Tuareg. Tuareg is way too big. So that's automatically puts Tiguan about the same class as the CR-V. And I find there's no reason not to compare the Tiguan along side with CR-V. I believe both are about the same. Just a tad smaller.
@@geraldevans2535 I assume so, but I also drive in average 35 plus mins to work, also the car usually is in a un heated garage. As of this posting I have 71605 miles on my car and have never had any issues with it mechanical. I also never let my car tell me when to change the oil, I go a max of 5,000 miles and have found a 50/50 mix of 5w/30 and 10w/30 mobil synthetic oil has helped out a lot in fighting dilution. Once my oil gets to 50% or 40% its usually at about the 5000 mile mark, 10,000 miles is way way way to long on a direct injection turbo engine for a oil change. I have heard of people saying that they get a " fuel" smell in the cab, I haven't smelled fuel but I have smelled oil vaper sometimes if the car idles for a extended period of time, say 10-15 mins, but I believe part of the oil evap system runs though the hvac system as well. After the first recall it has gone down significantly but is sometimes still present.
@Team Paulie ok. So you are aware of the oil dilution issues with the new Honda’s. The crankcase vapors do not go into your AC / ventilation system, but are redirected back into the cylinders and reburned, possibly contributing to carbon deposits on the intake valves. This is becoming a problem on direct injection engines as the fuel injected under high pressure bypasses the intake valves and contributes to carbon build up.
@@geraldevans2535 Been aware of the oil dilution since before I bought the car. Do you have a CRV with a 1.5 liter? Go pop your hood and trace the PVC lines, I'm going to double check tomorrow but I am pretty sure there is a T junction and part of it runs into the Hvac box. Because I can turn the Heater and all of that off and guess what...the smell goes away...turn it back on and there it is again. Part of the purge control system I think also is part of that. I'll go pop my hood tomorrow and start tracing again but I am pretty sure there is lines running into the Hvac coming from the valve cover or back of the head.
@ Team Paulie. Nope No new Honda Accord. My 2005 Accord blew head gasket this summer after 215000 miles because of bad radiator cap. Replaced with 2020 RAV 4 as I was not sold on the new Accord engines. Did not want a turbo, direct injection, or CVT. Avoided all 3 with the Toyota. 2.5 liter engine, dual injection and 8 speed transmission. Delivers over 40 mpg on highway. Very pleased so far.
When it come to fuel economy this 1.5L is OK it not good or great, on my 2020 CRV I get combined city/Hwy 27 Avg MPG which it lower then estimated EPA number, but again we drive in real world. Honda should consider bringing diesel Engine to US car market which will give better fuel economy and better response/performance/reliability from engine. I would have to agree that other countries get more options when it come to engine or trim/options including CRV with Diesel option, but i would say its consumer fault or lack of consumer education since they are unable to say to say NO gasoline he in US. One has to understand that combustion in diesel engine is 30-40% better per each cylinder cycle and even at higher price per gallon of diesel it will make up for itself in long run. When it comes to EPA here in US one must also understand that driving more efficient diesel will leave less of the CO2/Nox foot print on the environment per mile driven due to better efficiency "Fact". I don't believe you need MIT mathematics /engineering degree to understand. EPA here in US does not seem to perform/understand real driving condition tests over distance driven when it come to CO2/NOx emissions. They simply stick a car on a Dyno, but we all that is not how people drive cars in reality. Because if that was the case we would see bigger push from US Gov for full electric & diesel. This is where US consumers are in the dark for the most part. If US consumer wakes up to reality we will see better car industry with more options here in US . Before you start writing about VW and diesel gate just stop and think, also I am not defending any car maker that cheat when it comes to emissions its simply wrong to cheat.
Looks like this is from Canada? I don't know how u do the conversion from American to metric but Honda isn't kidding. Cause in California, yesterday's heat was 90 degree & I'm driving average of 75mph from Stockton to Sacramento (56miles / 54mins drive) with the A/C on the whole time I really did get 33.5mpg @ 70mph. At 80mph I got over 31mpg. I even got a 34.1mpg @ speed of 50mph. I just had my car for 2 months and 2000 miles on it. 😁 if I can load pic here I'd definitely do that way I can prove my point.
Well said! On our highway test, we got similar numbers. This just might be the most fuel efficient compact SUV we have tested - thanks to the efficient 1.5L turbo engine and CVT.
Leon - I have to drive that exact same route! But do you rely on the car's computer to be accurate? Have you tested the MPG by tracking with pencil and paper to see how accurate the computer really is? Are you in an AWD? Are you in Eco mode? Does the drivers seat feel too firm to you over long distances?
