The Honda CR-V crossover debuted in 1995. The abbreviation in the name of the model stands for “compact recreational vehicle.” The car quickly gained popularity in a variety of markets. This was especially true for the USA. There he regularly ranked high in the ranking of best-selling cars. However, in other countries, Honda SRV has gained significant popularity.

Cars with 2.0 and 2.4 liter gasoline engines were supplied to the domestic market. Their features, reliability and resource will be discussed in this article.

I generation (1995-2001)

The line of power units is essentially represented by one engine. This is a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four with the index B20 B(Z) (index after restyling). The initial power was 128 hp, which then increased to 147. The cylinder head is a twin-shaft 16-valve, but there is no proprietary VTEC variable valve timing system. Thanks to this, the design turned out to be extremely simple and reliable. These engines have gained a reputation as one of the most reliable and unpretentious from Honda.

Features and malfunctions

It is worth noting that the engines of this series are not equipped with hydraulic compensators. It is worth remembering this and adjusting the valve clearances every 40 thousand km. The timing belt resource is 100 thousand km. It is believed that when a break occurs, the valve most often does not bend. However, it is not worth the risk in vain. It is better to monitor the condition of the belt drive and service it in a timely manner.

No obvious weak critical points have been identified in these engines during quite a long period of operation. For this we should thank the simple, but at the same time thoughtful design. One of the unpleasant features that still occurs is the short service life of camshaft seals. Also, with a significant mileage, damage to the cylinder head gasket is possible. There have been cases when, due to problems with the thermostat and pump, problems with overheating appeared. Therefore, it is worth paying more attention to the condition of this equipment.

Resource potential

With this indicator, the engine is doing quite well. Well-groomed specimens can easily take care of up to 300 thousand km. In addition, the low prices for contract engines allow many owners to simply replace an engine that requires repair.

II generation (2001-2006)

This generation allowed potential owners to choose between two engines with different displacements. Although structurally they had common roots, the differences concerned mainly the design of the crankshaft and enlarged connecting rods. The height of the cylinder block has increased accordingly.

• 2.0 l. (150 hp) K20A4;
• 2.4 l. (158/162 hp) K24A1.

Both engines received a timing chain drive with a fairly decent service life. On average it is about 200 thousand km. The DOHC twin-shaft cylinder head is equipped with an intelligent variable valve timing system i-VTEC. It allows you to optimize fuel consumption and improve efficiency indicators. The design does not have hydraulic compensators, so owners should check the valve clearances every 40 thousand and, if necessary, adjust them.

Common faults

Both engines have such a characteristic “disease” as wear of the camshafts. More precisely, cams that affect the correct operation of the valves. This is manifested by such symptoms as: slow acceleration, increased consumption, “triple movement”, sometimes even knocking.

The problem is associated with a design feature in which there is no VTEC system on the exhaust shaft, unlike the intake shaft. Due to small, imperceptible distortions in the valve clearances, shock loads occur. This can occur either on its own or due to the use of low-quality oil. Rare oil changes or oil starvation can also lead to such consequences. Do not forget about timely adjustment of valves. The 2.0-liter K20A4 is considered the most affected modification due to this problem.

A common problem is a leaking front crankshaft oil seal. However, it can be solved by a simple replacement. Contamination of the throttle valve and idle air valve often causes floating speed.

The K20 series engine may have vibration problems. First of all, you should check the engine mounting mounts. If they are in good condition, you should pay attention to the timing chain. In specimens with a decent mileage, it may stretch.

Engine life

Most copies, both with 2.0 and 2.4-liter engines, begin to need major repairs within 200-300 thousand km. The key to high mileage is careful maintenance. This is especially true for the quality of the oil and the frequency of its replacement. These engines are quite sensitive to this.

III generation (2007-2011)

The third generation consolidated the tradition in which potential owners chose between two gasoline engines. The older version with a volume of 2.4 liters continued the development of a series of engines with the K24 index. A more modest 2.0-liter version was a representative of the new R series for the CR-V model.

• 2.0 l. (150 hp) R20A;
• 2.4 l. (166 hp) K24Z1.

The R series engine is a modification of the 1.8 liter R18 engine. It first appeared on the 8th generation Civic model. The increase in volume was achieved by installing a long-stroke crankshaft. The modified intake manifold has 3 operating modes. The motor also acquired balancer shafts. The cylinder head has a SOHC design, that is, with one camshaft, but it has 16 valves. There is an i-VTEC phase change system. The mechanism drive itself is chain driven.

It is noted that, compared to its predecessor the K20 series, the engines of this series have a more “urban” character. The emphasis is on low and medium speeds. We can say that the bright sporting character has disappeared. At the same time, efficiency has increased, and the relative simplicity of the design has increased the reliability of the unit.

The K24Z1 engine received certain modifications, which improved its performance. The intake manifold received changes, and a different connecting rod and piston group began to be installed. This allowed the power to be increased to 166 hp.

Both engines do not have hydraulic lifters, so owners need to remember to periodically adjust the valve clearances. The manufacturer specifies an interval of 40 thousand km.

Typical faults

The R20 series engine can sometimes be annoying with its knocking. There are two fairly common reasons. The first is the valves. This can happen either due to incorrect adjustment or because this procedure has not been performed for a long time. The second common reason is the characteristic sound of the adsorber valve. This is considered a normal design feature.

Sometimes the drive belt tensioner can add unnecessary sounds. As practice shows, its service life is on average 100 thousand km, after which it may require replacement.

A feature of the engine is vibration when cold. If it continues after warming up, then first of all you should check the supports. Most often the reason is on the left.

When using low-quality fuel, the service life of the catalyst and lambda probe can be significantly reduced. It is also worth paying attention to the quality of the oil. The i-VTEC system is very sensitive in this matter.

K24 series motors can cause more problems. This mainly concerns malfunctions associated with exhaust camshafts, or rather with their regular wear. There are many theories about why this malfunction occurs time after time after repair, but there is still no exact answer. The owners can only change the wearing part, or repair the cylinder head.

The remaining problems were also inherited from the predecessor K24A1, but they are not so critical and can be easily solved thanks to the operating experience of the previous modification.

Engine life

Motors of the R20 series are quite reliable and can easily last up to 200 thousand km. Many copies reach up to 300 thousand. The key to such mileage is timely maintenance and the use of high-quality oil.

The K24Z1 engine is of course more troublesome due to its problem with the camshafts. It is worth noting that if we ignore this problem, the unit is quite reliable. Its resource potential makes it possible to increase mileage of 300+ thousand km before major repairs. But this is also possible subject to high-quality and timely service.

IV generation (2011-2016)

We can say that this new generation has presented little new for owners in terms of equipping with engines. The model was equipped with the already familiar in-line four of the usual volumes of 2.0 and 2.4 liters.

• 2.0 l. (150 hp) R20A;
• 2.4 l. (190 hp) K24W.

The smaller engine was “inherited” from the previous generation, so its characteristics remained at the same level. The larger engine of the K24 series has been significantly redesigned.

First of all, the power system received changes, which now featured direct fuel injection. The intake/exhaust design has changed fundamentally, and the camshafts have also received design changes. The response settings of the proprietary VTEC system have also undergone changes. All this made it possible to significantly improve performance characteristics.

It should be noted that the K24W series engine was also installed on the fifth generation CR-V. However, it was a derated version with 184 hp.

Features and malfunctions

Since the installed engines of the R20 series have not undergone fundamental changes, the encountered malfunctions remain for the most part the same. Knocks from the cylinder head valves and the canister valve, problems with the attachment belt tensioner, characteristic engine vibrations - all these features continued to cause inconvenience to the owners of the IV generation CR-V. The engine is still very demanding on the quality of fuel and oil.

Despite significant redesign, the K24 series engine also received unpleasant features from its predecessor. First of all, this concerns the same problem with wear of camshafts. Owners just need to keep this design feature in mind and regularly monitor the condition of the cylinder head components.

Minor shortcomings in the form of vibrations, leaks of the front crankshaft oil seal and floating speed are not so critical and can be easily resolved.

Vibration may be due to stretching of the timing chain drive, which can be treated by replacement. Sometimes the cause may be a worn engine mount. Floating speed is removed by cleaning the throttle valve and idle air valve.

For forced versions of the K24 series engines, which are the K24W engines, malfunctions of the solenoid, as well as crackling of the VTC system gear, are typical. The exact cause of this phenomenon has not been identified, but the most likely is considered to be oil starvation due to untimely oil changes.

What is the service life of CR-V 4 engines?

The engines have no fundamental differences from the previous generation of the model in terms of service life. The 2.0-liter engine, which is simpler in design, runs quite easily up to 200 thousand km. There are also cases of long runs without major intervention.

The 2.4 engine is technologically more complex, and therefore requires more attention during operation. Its more complex and sensitive power system should also be taken into account. However, if the engine is in the caring hands of the owner, who is aware of the need for competent regular maintenance, such a motor can travel more than 300 thousand km.

A particularly important point for both engines is constant monitoring and timely adjustment of valve clearances. The manufacturer measured the interval between such procedures at 40 thousand km.

Honda CR-V is a mid-size crossover, one of the closest competitors to the Mitsubishi Outlander and Toyota RAV4. Production of the model began in 1995. The abbreviation CR-V in the car's name stands for “compact recreational vehicle.” The car fits perfectly into this concept - it has sufficient off-road capabilities, as well as car-like handling, a spacious interior and advanced equipment. The Honda CR-V for international markets is produced in the UK, Japan, Mexico and China. At the moment, the CR-V model is officially presented in the USA, Canada, as well as in Russia and the European Union. In addition, the machine is very popular in Malaysia, Indonesia and Latin America. The fifth generation Honda CR-V is currently being produced, which debuted in 2016.

Honda CR-V owner reviews

Generation 1

Manual transmission (Mechanics)

• Nikolay, Tomsk. I was given a car for my birthday. I hinted to my relatives that I wanted a supported Japanese man, but not the same... So they threw their finger into the sky, but I was also to blame, I should have not said it. In general, for now I’m riding a Honda CR-V. The car is supported, with mileage of 150 thousand. Eats 12 liters of fuel, under the hood is a 2.0 engine and a manual transmission. I'll give it back to my parents when I get enough for the RAV-4.
• Anna, Lipetsk. The Honda CR-V is a great beginner's car. A classic crossover with front-wheel drive, 2.0 engine and manual transmission. Fuel consumption is 10-12 liters.
• Oleg, Nizhny Novgorod region, 2.0. I bought one for myself in 2015. A supported Japanese car from 1995 turned out to be in good condition. According to the previous owner, the car was brought to us in Russia in the mid-1990s. The car was already used, right-hand drive, of course. With a 2.0 petrol engine and a manual gearbox, fuel consumption averages 13 liters per hundred kilometers. The SUV is equipped with all-wheel drive. Now there are about 300 thousand kilometers on the odometer, I’m surprised how this Honda is still alive. This is what Japanese quality is - I was convinced once again.
• Maxim, Stavropol region. A car with a two-liter engine and manual transmission. I chose a Honda CR-V on the secondary market and got a copy with a mileage of 100 thousand km. The technical condition left much to be desired, so I decided to undergo a major overhaul. I completely replaced the suspension - shock absorbers, bushings, levers, silent blocks - all of this was replaced. I slightly transformed the interior - changed the seats to leather ones, with improved lateral support. The 2-liter gasoline engine with a power of 130 horsepower remains the same, but it has undergone a small chip tuning, now it produces 150 horsepower. Fuel consumption used to be 12 liters, but has increased to 13-14 liters per hundred kilometers. I liked the car. I’m planning to buy something else soon for my Japanese girlfriend.
• Konstantin, Ekaterinoslavl. Honda CR-V is a car with character. Despite the outdated design, the car still makes me and my family happy. It’s easy to drive, I even let children steer it on a closed training ground. With a 2.0 engine and manual gearbox, fuel consumption is about 12 liters per hundred.

Automatic transmission (Automatic)

• Kirill, Perm. I bought a Honda CR-V with an automatic transmission. First generation car, supported of course. We didn’t sell such new cars then. This Honda has a glorious history - surprisingly, it has a left-hand drive, which means it came to Russia from Europe. According to rumors, it is already in used condition. Then there were three Russian owners, who drove a total of 300 thousand km on it. It turns out that I am at least the fourth owner of a 1997 Honda CR-V, with a red body. This is the top version, since it has an automatic machine. Fuel consumption is 12-14 liters per hundred.
• Alexander, St. Petersburg. I have a first generation Honda CR-V, I decided to save money on a Japanese one and find out what Japanese quality of the 1990s is. The car turned out to be normal and was received in good condition. Consumption with automatic transmission and 2.0 engine is about 12-13 liters.
• Konstantin, Vorkuta. Overall I liked the car, where else can you find a crossover in such good condition. Of course, we had to look among the Japanese, namely the Honda model range. The CR-V is generally a popular car in our country, so we chose it. The rear interior is cramped, the materials are simple. It's a budget car, there aren't enough stars in the sky. It's like regular transport for moving around the city. Although under the hood is not the weakest 2-liter engine, producing about 130 horsepower. Fuel consumption with an automatic transmission is about 13 liters per hundred.
• Vladimir, Ekaterinoslavl. My Honda CR-V is a versatile car, although it is more suitable for the city than the highway. It has a rather weak 130-horsepower 2-liter engine. Everything is spoiled by the automatic transmission, which often stutters on the highway and does not allow normal acceleration; because of it, consumption increases. Things are better in the city. Comfortable, with a practical interior and soft suspension. Consumption is 12-14 liters per hundred km.
• Lyudmila, Nizhny Novgorod region. Such cars are rare in our city, so I took them to stand out from the rest. An original car, with its own shortcomings and advantages. With an automatic transmission, a dynamic and comfortable car. The two-liter engine produces 130 horsepower, which is enough. Consumption 12 liters.

Generation 2

Engine 2.0

• Vitaly, Yekaterinburg. The crossover is worth the money. The Honda CR-V is the epitome of style and reliability, but not luxury. A simple interior, high-quality materials, and the body design does not evoke any emotions. Almost like a conservative German. The car is equipped with a 2.0 engine and an automatic transmission. In the city it consumes 13 liters.
• Margarita, Peter. This car has everything I like. Dynamic engine, efficient automatic transmission, all the options. Fuel consumption is on average 12 liters.
• Svyatoslav, Vologda region. The car was produced in 2002, bought at a car dealership, with a guarantee, with all options. I have the top version with this engine. There is an automatic transmission, and the two-liter engine produces 150 horsepower. The car has all-wheel drive, fuel consumption is 12-13 liters per 100 km. The car is comfortable in the cabin, with decent sound insulation in the engine compartment. The interior is assembled with high quality, but the plastics are frankly cheap and hard. Sometimes I let my wife drive, and after the CR-V she began to love SUVs, now she wants a Chevrolet Tahoe...
• Igor, St. Petersburg. I bought a 2004 Honda CR-V and still drive it. A reliable car that pampers you with its comfort. It has become like family, all the spare parts are original, they are changed according to the regulations, not before the due date.
• A car with a two-liter engine and an automatic transmission, fuel consumption is 12 liters per 100 km.
  Alexey, Dnepropetrovsk. I praise the CR-V for its good dynamics; for a crossover, the car drives briskly and handles great. Probably all thanks to the elastic suspension, which is not very comfortable for our roads. I have a version with a 2.0 engine and an automatic transmission, it consumes no more than 12 liters per 100 km.

Engine 2.4

• Igor, Murmansk. A typical city crossover, let's say so for show-off. It doesn’t really know how to drive off-road, although it has all-wheel drive - it helps improve handling, it’s very important for the city, just like an automatic transmission. All this is available. Average gasoline consumption per 100 km reaches 12-13 liters per 100 km.
• Yuri, Krasnoyarsk. The car is solid, with Japanese quality. I've been dreaming of this for a long time. Consumes 12 liters in the city - with a 2.4 engine and automatic transmission.
• Maxim, Moscow region. I bought a Honda CR-V in the top-end configuration, with a 2.4-liter engine, all-wheel drive and automatic transmission. Complete stuffing, so to speak, fuel consumption is about 13-14 liters per hundred kilometers. Accelerates quickly and brakes effectively, the car is designed to give driving pleasure. It responds well to the steering wheel and rides smoothly – an excellent balance between handling and comfort. The kids love it; by the way, they sit in the back, in their child seats. And my wife and I sit in the front, and from time to time we replace each other at the helm - this often happens on a long journey, especially under the scorching sun. But in these conditions, an effective air conditioner comes to the rescue. Now we turn on the stove, it is quite noisy, but it heats up in all directions.
• Slava, Irkutsk. I liked the car, this Honda CR-V is still capable of giving a head start to many competitors. I have a car with a 2.4 engine, fuel consumption is 12-14 liters, depending on the driving pace. It has an automatic transmission.
• Vladimir, Petropavlovsk. I took a used crossover with a 2.4-liter engine and automatic transmission. Fully equipped, with a mileage of under 100 thousand km. The car is in good condition, a couple of joints need to be redone and it can be piled on. The engine is powerful and produces 160 horsepower. This is enough for an aspirated car, acceleration to the first hundred in just 9.5 seconds according to the passport.

Generation 3

Engine 2.0

• Boris, Nizhny Novgorod region. My Honda CR-V is a 2008 model, now the mileage is 100 thousand km. I drive it and have no complaints, it’s a very comfortable car. With reckless control. The 2-liter engine and manual transmission are more than enough. Average fuel consumption is 12 liters per hundred. This is in the urban cycle, but on the highway it turns out to be no more than 10 liters. I think I made the right choice. I'm talking about the gearbox, otherwise the automatic would probably work with delays. A friend has a similar car with the same engine and automatic transmission, but of a previous generation. His machine works with delays, so he was afraid to take it. Inside the Honda CR-V there is a spacious and high-quality interior, with a spacious and convertible trunk. You can quickly fold the seats, and you get a flat floor, you can put long items.
• Elena, Tambov. I'm happy with the car, it's a comfortable and reliable car. With a 2 liter engine, 150 horsepower. The gearbox is automatic and works flawlessly. The gearbox and engine are perfectly coordinated, there is no misunderstanding between them, in the sense of no delays. Perhaps this is why the consumption is so low - about 11-12 liters per hundred in the urban cycle, and this is even with the most dynamic driving. In general, I was pleased with the car.
• Alexander, Perm. I have a 2009 car, now the mileage is 85 thousand km. I drive a car all year round and do without a garage. The car is reliable, I only service it at the service center. Fuel consumption is 10-12 liters per 100 km. Version with 2.0 engine and manual gearbox.
• Vlada, Ekaterinoslavl. A car for all occasions, with such and such an engine - a 150-horsepower two-liter gasoline engine. It consumes only 12 liters per hundred, and there is also HBO. The main costs are only for maintenance.
• Nikita, Rostov. Honda CR-V 2010, with a two-liter internal combustion engine and automatic transmission. In fact, my wife chose the car for me, and we went to the dealership with her. I wanted to take it with the mechanics, but she basically insisted, well, what can you do. She was just passing her license at that time, and now she often drives my Honda. But even so, I don’t feel sorry for anything for my woman. I myself also like the car, the automatic turned out to be moderately efficient, and the acceleration dynamics are very smooth, and even the gear changes are almost imperceptible. Fuel consumption is 12 liters per hundred.

Engine 2.4

• Alexey, Tomsk. The car was given as a birthday present - used, with a mileage of 99 thousand km. The gift made me happy for the rest of my life, I have long dreamed of one like this. So my dream has come true. Moreover, this is my first car. And after such a car I’m unlikely to need any kind of Volga and Taz. So tremble, you poor people! I'm young and handsome, at this age it's good to show off, and I'm so optimistic. In general, I am a goal-oriented person, and the Honda CR-V is just for me. Dynamic and comfortable car. My student friends now have a free taxi, and I give them a ride with pleasure. You have to do good to people, and then they will repay you. I have a car with a 2.4-liter engine and automatic transmission, fuel consumption is 12-13 liters per 100 km.
• Dmitry, Pyatigorsk. It’s better not to go off-road with such a car - I checked it myself. I drove it once and broke the front bumper. And in the city, the CR-V reveals all its advantages. With a 2.4 engine and automatic transmission it consumes about 13 liters.
• Anatoly, Sverdlovsk. I bought a car for daily trips around the city and outside the city. I just have work in another city, and transport is somehow difficult. At first I planned to take something simpler - something like Solaris. But in the end I decided that the car should be universal. The choice fell on the Honda CR-V. This car combines a passenger car and an SUV, and is reliable in the Japanese way. This is what I was convinced of during operation. The car never lets me down. With a 2.4 engine and manual gearbox, fuel consumption is 12 liters/100 km.
• Vasily, Irkutsk. The Honda CR-V is now my only car, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I am very attached to it, I praise the car for its reliability and comfort. Fuel consumption ranges from 10 to 13 liters depending on the city or highway. It's an automatic transmission.
• Anna, Vorkuta. I got the car from my brother, and he himself switched to a Land Cruiser. Moved to another level so to speak. Honda impressed me in all respects. A very economical car, despite the old 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine. There is an automatic transmission. In the city it consumes about 12-14 liters per 100 km.

Generation 4

Engine 2.0

• Yaroslav, Pyatigorsk. The car turned out to be quite reliable, even compared to my former Toyota RAV4. Although the car is more expensive to maintain, it is more fun to drive. The old Toyota doesn't hold a candle to my Honda. A CR-V with a 2.0 engine and manual transmission consumes an average of 12 liters per 100 km.
• Alexander, Kyiv. I have a 2014 Honda CR-V, bought new in Kyiv. In three years I drove 100 thousand, and for this anniversary I decided to share my impressions of the car. This is a typical crossover for every day, easy to drive in the city and on the highway. The CR-V is capable of handling light off-road conditions, but nothing more. A universal car, it has all the options, plus an automatic transmission. A 150-horsepower 2-liter engine is enough in the city. The engine itself is time-tested; it has been installed on many generations of the Honda CR-V. That's why I took it with this engine. With it the consumption is 10-12 liters. The gearbox quickly changes gears, but as a last resort I switch the selector to manual mode.
• Sergey, Lipetsk. I am a tourist by profession, and I needed a universal car. Before the Honda, I had a Volga one hundred and fifth, well, I won’t drive it to Europe or anywhere else far abroad. Moreover, there are no spare parts for it. So I had to take a foreign car. I chose the top version with a two-liter engine producing 150 horsepower. With it and the automatic transmission, highway consumption does not exceed 10 liters, and this is very good compared to my former Volga. In general, I didn’t regret my choice. But I haven’t parted with my Volga yet; I drive it around my hometown.
• Stanislav, Perm region. I was choosing between the Toyota RAV-4 and the Honda CR-V. I tested both cars. I liked the way the Honda handled better, so I ended up buying it. With a two-liter engine that produces 150 horsepower. Automatic transmission, fuel consumption 10-12 liters. I liked the car, I made the right choice, my family supports me.
• Oleg, Dnepropetrovsk. Honda CR-V is a reliable car for all occasions. You just need to service it in a timely manner, and preferably at a company service center. And no collective farm, all spare parts are original. Only in this case will Honda be happy. My version is equipped with a 2.0 engine and manual transmission, consumes up to 12 liters per 100 km.

Engine 2.4

• Konstantin, Kaliningrad. A comfortable and reliable SUV, what else is needed for life. Moreover, I have the top version, with all the options. The 2.4 engine with 190 horsepower consumes 12-14 liters of gasoline, depending on the driving pace. There is an automatic transmission.
• Vladimir, Leningrad region. This car seems to be made for me. Meets all my needs. Probably because I'm an extrovert. That is why I took the most powerful 2.4-liter version with automatic transmission. 190 forces is quite enough, with them the car consumes 12-13 liters.
• Vladimir, St. Petersburg. I bought a car for my beloved wife. She really wanted him, she was literally trembling. We went into a car dealership, she did something weird there and scared away all the customers. This is out of joy, because for our sake they found a suitable set in stock. They picked it up on the day the order was placed, my wife did her best. We chose the version with a 2.4-liter engine and automatic transmission. This is almost a top-end package. The car is practical and family-friendly, rides very smoothly and handles well. The reliability of the car is at a high level, you don’t need to make anything yourself, here my Volga, as they say, is already a thing of the past. Fuel consumption with an automatic transmission is 13 liters in the urban cycle, and outside the city it is no more than 10 liters.
• Igor, Donetsk. I took the car with all the options and the most powerful engine. Its displacement is 2.4 liters and its power is about 190 horses. The car is comfortable and dynamic. Acceleration to the first hundred in just 10 seconds. Fuel consumption is 12-13 liters with automatic transmission. The car suits me, for the city and for the highway it’s just what I’ve been looking for for a long time.
• Svetlana, Krasnoyarsk. I have a Honda CR-V with a 2.4-liter engine with 190 horsepower. This is a gasoline unit, which turned out to be very economical in the city, not to mention the highway. I did the math and the average consumption was 11 liters. Very worthy for such a big car.

Generation 5

Engine 2.0

• Vladimir, Krasnodar. The car is beautiful, no doubt about it. And maybe he knows a thing or two about off-roading. But I still feel sorry for the car, because it’s really beautiful. It's a pity that I can't use my purchase to its fullest extent. I only drive in the city and on the highway, fuel consumption with the 2.0 engine and robot is an acceptable 11 liters.
• Ekaterina, Arkhangelsk. With the Honda CR-V I want to live and live again. The car gives me so much energy that I have many unattainable goals that it won’t take me a lifetime to achieve. And this is very good, but there is something to strive for. My Honda CR-V is equipped with a CVT and a two-liter engine, with this arsenal the result is 12 liters per hundred.
• Boris, Stavropol region. I bought a Honda CR-V in 2016. It’s too bad that a version with a 1.5-liter engine with a capacity of 190 horsepower is not available for the Russian market. This is a great motor, judging by the reviews of my friends in Europe. Ordering from there would have cost me a fortune; in the end I had to take the version with the proven two-liter engine. I have a version with a CVT and all-wheel drive; with this equipment, fuel consumption in the city reaches about 9 liters. Very worthy for such an old engine, and I somehow began to forget about that 1.5-liter turbo engine. It turns out that everything is pretty good, the crossover drives dynamically and brakes confidently. Acceleration to hundreds in 10-11 seconds. I'm happy with the car so far, let's see what happens next.
• Nikolay, Odessa. I have a Honda CR-V with a 2.0 engine and an automatic transmission. The engine produces 150 horsepower, which is the standard for this class. The unit is reliable, and as far as I know, it was installed on previous generations of CR-V. With it, consumption remains stable at 12 liters per 100 km.
• Marina, Kazan. I planned to buy a used CR-V at a Honda dealership, but they made me a lucrative offer for a fifth-generation CR-V, that is, for a new car. I couldn’t refuse, the loan was on very favorable terms. I was pleased with the purchase, the car was worth the money. With a 2.0 engine and a CVT, there is all-wheel drive and all the options. The car consumes about 9 liters per hundred.

Engine 2.4

• Ilya, Belgorod. With this car, it seems that there are no obstacles in my way - it is so dynamic and comfortable. Well, everything is clear, this is the top version, which, with a displacement of 2.4, produces about 180 horsepower. The dynamics of the naturally aspirated engine are more than enough for city driving. And the CR-V is no slouch on the highway either. In our constant traffic jams, the consumption is 14 liters per 100 km, no matter how much I would like it to be less.
• Mikhail, Moscow. This is the most luxurious car I've ever owned. Honda CR-V of the new generation, in a top-end configuration with a 190-horsepower engine and a robotic gearbox. I didn’t regret that I overpaid for additional options in the form of climate control, full power accessories, a sunroof and exclusive wheels. The car was appreciated by all members of my family, so to speak, from my ancestors to descendants. Of course, my wife is delighted with my choice. Until recently I thought that I would take a Toyota. I am generally predisposed to the Japanese, and mainly to this brand. We just had a Corolla before. But I decided to be original and surprise my family. Average fuel consumption in the urban cycle is about 12-14 liters per 100 km.
• Dmitry, Kyiv. I bought a new CR-V for a lot of money, but the car is worth it. This is Honda, the embodiment of sport and reliability. I just passed my license and decided for myself that I should only take Japanese cars so as not to spoil my mood. My CR-V consumes a maximum of 15 liters of gasoline, I like to drive fast.
• Igor, Moscow region. I use this crossover in a taxi. I even repainted it yellow so that everyone would turn around and notice only me against the background of all these Solaris. I bought a car when I had a family. We got divorced and needed to do something to release the stress. So I became a taxi driver and didn’t regret it. Honda consumes an average of 12 liters with a 2.4 engine and manual gearbox.
• Margarita, Leningrad region. Honda CR-V is a worthwhile SUV. It’s an SUV, and I’m not afraid to abuse it where it’s supposed to. The car must be used for its intended purpose, and in the city/on the highway - this also goes without saying. But I'm the kind of person who likes to experiment. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. In general, for now I’m driving on country roads - I need to start small. The car is equipped with a 2.4-liter engine and an automatic transmission, with this tandem the consumption is about 13 liters.

Like any self-respecting crossover, there is no choice of bodywork - the buyer is offered only a lean station wagon with a fairly capacious trunk, in the underground of which a stowage compartment is hidden. The belongings can also be placed on the roof - roof rails for attaching the trunk are available in all trim levels, with the exception of the Elegance with a 2.4-liter engine and a 5-speed automatic transmission.

The type of drive is also uniform - front-wheel drive, with an automatically connected rear axle. With a low ground clearance of only 175 mm, the absence of a single-wheel drive version is somewhat puzzling.

The range of power units is also relatively modest: for example, we don’t get cars with diesel engines. Gasoline engines of 2.0 and 2.4 liters differ from each other not only in technical characteristics - they embody a different approach to equipping all-terrain vehicles.

A more modest one, with a power of 150 hp, is intended for cars aimed at European consumers. They are collected nearby - in England. There are two trim levels in this sector - “Elegance” and “Lifestyle”, however, the presence of two types of gearboxes in each (M6 and A5) expands the list to four. The difference in the number of options is small and comes down mainly to comfort elements - Honda does not skimp on safety systems. Supporters of budget solutions may be disappointed only by the lack of leather trim on the steering wheel and gear lever, a rear view camera, a Bluetooth system and a standard anti-theft alarm system. However, surcharges for these benefits of civilization (from 70,000 to 110,000 rubles) against the background of the total cost of the car do not seem excessive.

The debate between supporters and opponents of mechanics lasts, it seems, forever, but here the latter have a rather weighty argument. The CR-V is not equipped with a fancy robot or a variator that is unsuitable for off-road use, but with a classic hydromechanical unit - not very modern (only five stages), but reliable. We also vote for.

Cars with a more powerful engine (2.4 liters, 190 hp) demonstrate an American perspective on the model and were manufactured there, overseas. There are few external differences: a front bumper that has increased the approach angle, and denser tinting of the rear windows. There is no manual transmission - only automatic! And also a five-speed one. True, the control algorithm is somewhat different: instead of the “sport” mode, the shift range is forcibly limited to three gears.

There are four trim levels, like the “European” one. True, the two extreme ones - the cheapest "Elegance" (1,339,000 rubles) and the most expensive "Premium" (1,599,000 rubles) - are quite difficult to find in stock. The reason for this is not rush demand, but rather the lack of it. Apparently, here our preferences diverge especially strongly from the American ones. The more modest configuration of the remaining ones - “Sport” (RUB 1,439,000) is 110 thousand more expensive than the “Lifestyle” we previously liked, but is equipped a little more modestly (with a more powerful engine). In it you will not find paddle shifters, lumbar support for the driver's seat, a rain sensor and some other small things. But only on a car in the overseas version (Executive package for 1,519,000 rubles) you will be offered a leather interior with a full set of electrical adjustments and even a sunroof. In our opinion, the value of these options in the eyes of domestic buyers is small, so those who want to pay an additional 80,000 rubles. there are few. We are not one of them.

As a result, we liked the European “Lifestyle” version: the buyer receives an all-terrain vehicle with a large trunk, high-quality interior trim and a moderately voracious engine with sufficient, in our opinion, power.

However, purchasing costs don't stop there. The basic white color looks quite decent, but pearl, on which an additional layer of varnish is placed, seems much more practical. The manufacturer has not provided any other preferences - you will have to complete the purchase with protection, floor mats and other parking sensors either from the dealer (this can be expensive) or externally. We do not take these costs into account.

The fourth generation Honda CR-V crossover can be purchased either in English or American assembly. Let's try to understand the intricacies of geopolitics.

The fourth generation CR-V is very interesting for the buyer for many criteria: comfort, practicality, efficiency, safety and reliability are combined with a wide range of factory options already in the basic version. Those who expect the best geometric cross-country parameters from a crossover should pay attention to the version with a 2.4 liter engine. Their characteristic feature is the front bumper, with which the approach angle is 28 degrees.

The 2nd generation Honda SRV debuted in 2002, on the platform of the 7th generation Honda Civic. The crossover was produced until 2006; in 2005, the model was restyled.

In this article we will tell you about all the details of the 2nd generation Honda SRV, problems and “sores”, technical characteristics, services according to the official recommendations of Japanese Honda dealers, photos and video test drives.

First generation Honda CR-V The first Honda CR-V was a response to the challenge of the “RAV4” from Toyota (although there is an opinion that the SRV was developed earlier than the RAV 4). Thus, it brings a new level of practicality to the SUV class and Honda's signature style.

Honda SRV became a best seller in its time and in the second generation the company used a win-win formula. But since 1997, the CR-V class has become increasingly crowded with competitors; almost every manufacturer has an urban crossover.

Can a second SRV compete successfully in this tight market?

Of course it can. The 2nd generation Honda SRV is built on the current “global small car platform” and after 2001, along with the Civic and the new Acura RSX, it became the third car of the Honda family to reach North America. Despite being made in Japan and the UK, the CR-V's largest market is still the US.

As usual, the second CR-V comes in both front-wheel drive and “Real Time 4WD” all-wheel drive versions.

And as before, selectable all-wheel drive means no low-range gearing and limited off-road capabilities. Do you want to cross the Rubicon Trail? Take a Jeep or Range Rover.

And if you need to drive on a winter or country road, then the Honda SRV 2 is just right. The 8.1-inch ground clearance is not suitable for deep off-roading. But this ground clearance is great for stability on light off-road conditions and maneuverability in the city.

Honda SRV 2nd generation

Technical part

Modified front MacPherson struts don't feel out of place, and the rear double wishbones aren't new to Honda. The suspension works well even when going through fairly large potholes. Honda SRV 2 provides a soft and stable ride. A car with this suspension handles with absolute precision, but within reason, you won’t be able to drive aggressively, but that’s not what people buy a CR-V for.

Standard disc brakes provide excellent response and short stopping distances.

In the second generation, K series engines with a volume of 2.0 and 2.4 liters appeared; a diesel engine was also supplied for the European market. The first unit was 2.0 liter, developing power of 158 horsepower and 194 Nm of torque.

The 2nd unit is a 2.4 liter naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine developing 160 horsepower and 224 Hm of torque. In terms of horses, the increase in power is not high, but in terms of torque it is excellent.

The transmission has not undergone major changes; it is either a classic “automatic” or a manual gearbox.

Exterior and interior

Honda SRV 2 has increased in size, become longer, wider and taller than its predecessor. The increase in dimensions had a positive effect on the capacity of the cabin; it became more comfortable to sit in the front and back.

The wheelbase has not increased, but there is more legroom for rear passengers, and in general long trips on the CR-V 2 have become a pleasure due to the comfort in the cabin.

Externally, the crossover is more modern than the previous generation; a thick black composite front bumper, multi-reflector headlights and huge rear lights give it a fresh look. All this gives the car a more modern look compared to the old CR-V.

In the second generation, Honda's signature style can be seen, but the crossover can hardly be called beautiful, and the spare wheel remains hanging on the back door.

The exterior evokes mixed feelings, but the interior is clearly superior.

The dashboard has almost completely changed, the power windows have been moved, and the automatic transmission lever is now located on the American-style dashboard.

The front seats, covered in wear-resistant material, are well shaped and have a comfortable profile. The folding rear seat, which makes the CR-V's interior truly functional, can accommodate two passengers comfortably and three for short periods of time. A seat belt is provided for each passenger. When there's no one in the middle, the center console folds out with two large cup holders.


Like the previous CR-V, the second generation's rear row of seats folds down to become a picnic table.

Options

The base "LX" trim of the CR-V comes with cruise control, power windows, mirrors, air conditioning and an AM/FM/CD sound system.

The next EX, all-wheel drive, adds tinted windows, remote keyless entry, alloy wheels, side airbags, a sunroof and a six-disc CD changer.

The Honda CR-V is a five-seat small Japanese crossover that is so popular that it has been produced since 1995 to this day. The SRV model has 5 generations.

History of Honda CR-V

ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!

The abbreviation "CR-V" translated from English stands for "small recreational vehicle." This model is produced in several countries at once:

• Japan;
• Great Britain;
• Mexico;
• Canada;
• China.

The Honda CR-V is a cross between the small HR-V and the impressive Pilot. The car is produced for most regions, including Russia, Canada, China, Europe, USA, Japan, Malaysia and so on.

First version of Honda SRV

The first version of this car from Honda was presented as a concept back in 1995. It is worth noting that the SRV was the first-born in the line of crossovers, which was designed by Honda without outside help. Initially, it was sold exclusively in Japanese dealerships and was considered a premium class, since due to its dimensions it exceeded the legally established standards. In 1996, at the Chicago Motor Show, a model for the North American market was unveiled.

It should be noted that the first generation of this model was produced in only one configuration, called “LX” and was equipped with a gasoline inline four-cylinder engine “B20B”, with a volume of 2.0 liters and a maximum power of 126 hp. Essentially, it was the same 1.8-liter internal combustion engine that was installed on the Honda Integra, but with some modifications, such as an expanded cylinder diameter (up to 84 mm) and a one-piece liner design.

The car body is a supporting structure reinforced with double wishbones. The car's signature style included plastic bumper and fender covers, as well as folding rear seats and a picnic table located in the lower part of the trunk. Later, the CR-V was released in the “EX” configuration, which was equipped with an ABS system and alloy wheels. The car also had an all-wheel drive system (Real-Time AWD), but versions with a front-wheel drive layout were also produced.

Below is a table showing the main characteristics of the B20B engine, which was installed on the first version of the SRV and after the restyled B20Z power unit:

Engine name	B20B	B20Z
Engine displacement, cc	1972	1972
Power, hp	130	147
Torque, N*m	179	182
Fuel	AI-92, AI-95	AI-92, AI-95
Efficiency, l/100 km	5,8 – 9,8	8,4 – 10
Cylinder diameter, mm	84	84
Compression ratio	9.5	9.6
Piston stroke, mm	89	89

In 1999, the first generation of this model was restyled. The only change in the updated version was the upgraded engine, which slightly increased power and slightly increased torque. The engine acquired an increased compression ratio, the intake manifold was replaced, and the exhaust valve lift was increased.

Second version of Honda SRV

The next version of the SRV model became slightly larger in overall dimensions and added weight. In addition, the design of the car was completely changed, its platform was transferred to another Honda model - Civic, and a new K24A1 engine appeared. Despite the fact that in the North American version it had a power of 160 hp and 220 Nm of torque, its fuel and economic characteristics remained at the level of previous power units. All this is implemented using the i-VTEC system. Below is a schematic diagram of how it works:

Due to a more thoughtful design of the rear suspension of the car, the trunk volume was increased to 2 thousand liters.

For reference! Authoritative publication of Car and Driver in 2002-2003. named Honda SRV as the "Best Compact Crossover". The success of this car prompted Honda to release a more budget version of the Element crossover!

Restyling of this generation CR-V took place in 2005, which led to changes in the front and rear optics, the radiator grille and front bumper were updated. The most important innovations from a technical point of view were an electronic throttle, an automatic transmission (5 steps), and a modified all-wheel drive system.

Below are all the power units that this model was equipped with:

Engine name	K20A4	K24A1	N22A2
Engine displacement, cc	1998	2354	2204
Power, hp	150	160	140
Torque, N*m	192	232	340
Fuel	AI-95	AI-95, AI-98	Diesel fuel
Efficiency, l/100 km	5,8 – 9,8	7.8-10	5.3 - 6.7
Cylinder diameter, mm	86	87	85
Compression ratio	9.8	10.5	16.7
Piston stroke, mm	86	99	97.1

Third version of Honda SRV

The third generation CR-V was produced from 2007 to 2011 and was distinguished by the fact that the model became noticeably shorter, lower, but wider. In addition, the trunk lid began to open upward. Among the changes we can also note the lack of sound insulation and the presence of a through passage between the rows of seats.

This crossover became the most popular in the American market in 2007, overtaking the Ford Explorer, which held the leading position for fifteen long years.

For reference! Due to the overwhelming demand for the CR-V, Honda has even suspended production of the new Civic to utilize additional production capacity and satisfy customer interest!

Restyling of the third generation SRV brought a number of design changes, including bumpers, radiator grille, and lights. The engine power was increased (up to 180 hp) and at the same time fuel consumption decreased.

Below is a table of engines for this generation:

Engine name	K20A4	R20A2	K24Z4
Engine displacement, cc	2354	1997	2354
Power, hp	160 - 206	150	166
Torque, N*m	232	192	220
Fuel	AI-95, AI-98	AI-95	AI-95
Efficiency, l/100 km	7.8 - 10	8.4	9.5
Cylinder diameter, mm	87	81	87
Compression ratio	10.5 - 11	10.5 - 11	9.7
Piston stroke, mm	99	96.9 - 97	99

Fourth version of Honda SRV

Production started in 2011 and this model was produced until 2016.

The car was characterized by a more powerful 185 hp power unit and a new all-wheel drive system. The facelift was distinguished by a new version of the engine with direct injection, as well as a continuously variable transmission. In addition, the CR-V has become much better to handle thanks to new springs, stabilizers and shock absorbers. This car was equipped with the following engines:

Engine name	R20A	K24A
Engine displacement, cc	1997	2354
Power, hp	150 - 156	160 - 206
Torque, N*m	193	232
Fuel	AI-92, AI-95	AI-95, AI-98
Efficiency, l/100 km	6.9 - 8.2	7.8 - 10
Cylinder diameter, mm	81	87
Compression ratio	10.5 - 11	10.5 - 11
Piston stroke, mm	96.9 - 97	99

Fifth version of Honda SRV

The debut took place in 2016, the car features a completely new platform, borrowed from the X generation Honda Civic.

The line of power units is characterized by the fact that a special turbocharged L15B7 engine is produced for the American market, while in Russia versions are sold only with naturally aspirated gasoline engines.

Engine name	R20A9	K24W	L15B7
Engine displacement, cc	1997	2356	1498
Power, hp	150	175 - 190	192
Torque, N*m	190	244	243
Fuel	AI-92	AI-92, AI-95	AI-95
Efficiency, l/100 km	7.9	7.9 - 8.6	7.8 - 10
Cylinder diameter, mm	81	87	73
Compression ratio	10.6	10.1 - 11.1	10.3
Piston stroke, mm	96.9	99.1	89.5

Choosing a Honda SRV power unit

The internal combustion engines that Honda SRV is equipped with of any generation are distinguished by good reliability and maintainability. Owners of these vehicles do not encounter any particular operational problems if they carry out timely maintenance and follow the recommendations for the optimal selection of engine oil and filters.

For drivers who prefer a quiet ride, the most rational choice would be the R20A9 naturally aspirated gasoline engine, which has relatively low fuel consumption and good driving dynamics. However, it is the most popular on the Russian market.
