2017 Honda CR-V Turbo and 7seats

[niky]

Wow, 11 seconds to 100? That's slower than some PPVs. The 2.0 2WD also felt lively only at the top end. It's good that Honda is finally bringing in the diesel turbo then. Finally we'll be getting much better low end grunt. Hopefully top end will be similar.

Well, only one or two PPVs, actually.

Some sites claim 9.6 to 10 seconds for the 0-100, but that's most likely them transposing 0-60 mph times to 0-100 km/h times.

Some people still don't understand that 100 km/h is 62 mph, not 60. In my testing, for cars in this speed range, that extra 2 km/h can be anywhere from half a second to an entire second. Sometimes even longer if the car shifts at just over 60 mph, as many do.

Had a go one time in my FXT against a Sta. Fe one Sunday at the Skyway, just for fun. He was definitely over 180 when I passed him at just over 200 indicated.

Remember guys, speedometers are not exact. At 200 km/h, you have an error of around 10-20 km/h. (error typically 5-10 km/h at 100 km/h).

Wouldn't worry much about speed. That's not the CR-V's game, anyway. And the TOTL AWD should have the 158 hp (160 ps) version of the diesel, anyway.

My car reads 206 kph at 200 kph GPS. My thoughts on conservative speedometers is this - most cars have a ~5% tolerance built in their speedometers, so even if it's not exact with the GPS speed, someone doing "180" with his car will be overtaken by another guy doing "185" in another car, even if their real speeds are just 170 and 175 respectively. Unless your tire size is wildly different from stock, the gap between GPS speed and speedometer reading is mostly the same across different cars.

Very, very few people use a GPS-based speedometer so comparing using true GPS speeds as baseline reference is ultimately alien to everyone who doesn't time cars for a living.

There are jokers, and then there are tire issues.

I've driven cars that were off over 10% at just 100 km/h.

And I've owned cars that were not off at all. (because I typically upgrade tires.)

GPS is the one true indicator you can trust.

I see a lot of people claiming "xxx" km/h speeds, when I know that the cars they're claiming hit those speeds really can't.

I have heard one person at work claiming his Fortuner reached 220kmh. He even added that an Accent CRDi passed him while he was doing 220kmh. Di na ako nag comment.

True. 10-kph variance between gauge and true speed is typical at around 200-kph. The speed indicated in your GPS is your true velocity.

Confirmed na ba that the CRV diesel to be released here will have the 160-hp engine?

AWD is only available with that engine.

FWD is only available with the lower powered one, however... which sucks for those who aren't stumping up for the TOTL model.

*This is from perusal of specs for other countries. Doubt ours will be any different in that regard.

Buyers of the TOTL might not mind that the Sportage and CX-5 make much more power (around 180-185 hp each). The old CR-V sold well, despite having a gasoline engine that made just over 160 hp. But the midrange FWD will be the big sticking point in this question.

We will supposedly know much more by the launch next week. ;)

So far, so good. Just the fact that Honda is releasing a diesel should boost sales to clients who've been waiting patiently for Honda to release something to compete with the Fort-Monty-Eve-et-al.

Base Diesel CRV only has front airbags? Better get the mid-trim diesel nalang.

Hopefully the AWD version does get the 160hp diesel engine.

I'm currently looking for the CRV as our fa.ily car. But kinda put off with the low displacement, and high tag price for the TOTL version.

Any idea when will the next-gen Santa Fe come?

Heard August 3, 2017 is launching date

Confirmed?

I've heard that Honda Philippines will only bring the 120ps diesel engine (not the 160ps version) even for the TOTL AWD. Can anyone confirm? Thanks!
