2017 Honda CR-V Turbo and 7seats

[Wh1stl3r]

If you're not in a hurry bro you can wait it out if ever they'll update to the 160 hp engine.

They did so with the gen 1. Initially had the 126 hp engine then updated to the 148 hp engine after 2 years. Nothing's certain though.

A chip is the best way to go to make the most of the 120 hp engine although of course at the expense of longevity. You can turn it off though if you don't need the power so I guess the detriment to the engine is minimized.

Yeah bro chipping is probably the way to go. Not really looking to match the 160 hp twin turbo. 40 hp seems too much of an ask for the CR-V's small turbo. +20 hp or so won't be too shabby.

I have a chip in my 4x2 Navara and it's been there for most of its life with no issues. But I think that's in part because it is mechanically the same as the 4x4. The chip just brought the tune closer to the high powered variant. So modest gains I guess, are key.

Get a Sorento if you want a 7 seater diesel CUV that has power.

But notice that no one is buying it despite its power, space, handling and efficiency.

The 120hp CR-V is fine as it is and will kill the Sorento in sales. Chip it if you need more power. Thats the basic.difference with the 160hp version. An ECU reprogram.

Bro, the Sorento isn't selling I think in part due to the brand not being popular here, durability issues of Korean cars in general, and the price.

We've only ever had one Korean car (GS) and to me there are still some niggling quality issues absent from Jap makes.

I also have this theory that factory fitted parts aren't as good as the after sales ones.

I think having one Korean car is enough hehe.

^^^ My in-laws has a 2010 Sorento AWD 2.4L gas, 7-seater. They had no issues with it. Just the usual maintenance PMS expense. They never had any engine or tranny issues over the past 7 years. I guess it is as reliable as its Japanese counterparts.

Not the engine/tranny in particular bro, although I've heard some people with failed valve seals pretty early on. These were on the diesels.

A couple of relatives also had issues with the last gen and current gen Sta Fe. Leaking brake master cylinder, noisy/uneven steering, some switches failing to name a few. Our GS has had the steering rack replaced.

Maybe the gas models are not as problematic as the diesel models. It is bigger than the common CUV but aside from its 7 seats, there is not much to be excited about it like any other CUV.

Oh. Thanks for the headsup Jut.

Have the 2013 santa fe and i have experienced issues with it that you dont normally experience in japanese branded cars like faulty window motor, noisy steering, broken rear hatch shocks, fogging fog lights, chipping types and kalampag on speed bumbs. All these in one car, i think thats too much issues. After this experience, I have realized that korean branded cars are still not at par with japanese brands.

Does the 7 seater's second row recline more than the 5 seater? Or same lang?

When you slide it all the way back, it's about 1-2 inches further back than the second row in the five seater. Not sure if the recline is more, but I doubt it.

Any idea on the wading depth of the CRV? Even if it's an unofficial stat since Honda won't give one.

Only whats on the brochure 198mm ground clearance. Not wading depth:

They won't. No crossover manufacturer (except maybe Subaru) gives wading depth.

This is because of electronics, engine ancilliaries and transmission, differential and engine breather tubes that are not sealed against the elements.

For a crossover, or even pick-up trucks, you can wade in water DEEPER than the rated wading depth... which is always lower than the air intake height, but the manufacturer cannot guarantee that you will have no problems afterwards. YMMV.

-

That said, while the airbox itself is mounted high up, the CR-V's snorkel is mounted under the airbox pointing towards the bumper. With this design, the engine SHOULD choke and stall before water is ingested, but if you try to plow through floodwater higher than the intake tube, you can ram enough water into it to destroy the engine.

-

Same problem with any car-based crossover. Even the Subaru. Not made to traverse deep water, don't even try. Pick-ups and Pick-up based passenger vehicles often have air cleaners that draw air from fender pockets, which are somewhat safe, and allow you to install aftermarket snorkels.

(Of course, you can install a snorkel on a Subaru, but it's often a DIY hack-job)

One of the reasons, why I got a 4th gen CRV is my experience with Honda with flooding. In 2009, we were badly hit by Ondoy and it didn't spare any of our cars. A Subaru Forester, Mitsubishi Outlander, Toyota Rav4, Camry, Vios, Honda Civic EK, ES and a 2nd-gen CRV. All our Hondas survived even the EK despite being completely submerged past the roof. Pinatuyo lang namin, change oil for a couple of times, and it was back in business. All the other cars, deadball, kinelangan palitan yung computer box and nakatenga sa casa for more than 6 months. That experience, gave me confidence in getting a Honda. In fact, we still own that 2nd-gen CRV, and it is running strong, without any major parts being replaced.

It crossed my mind just RN having had driven the 2018 1.6s and 2000 M/T

the diesel have plenty of torque at low rpm like em PPVs sans the clatter and vibration but the B20z feels peppier in terms of 0-100 kph sprint. I can't backed it that much since 0-100 infos on the old crv mt seems to be lacking on the internet. Is the faster 0-100kph on b20z just an illusion coz of its rev happy engine, hmm? Kinda the same feeling the EKs hehe

Wow, this is for the current gen? Expected more from their latest offering. I remember that model also had issues with water entering the floor.

Yes current gen! I know right, I thought hyundai got it right already especially now that their cars look really nice as compared to before but turns out, its only the appearance that was good, and their diesel engines of course.

Tsk. Looks like they're still not a good long term choice.

Hopefully the price would be still honored even with the excise tax been enforce
