As we all know, at present, in about 200,000 joint venture SUV models, Honda CR-V attention is undoubtedly very high, in 2021, CR-V total annual sales of 200502, an average of 16,708 units sold per month, such achievements are enough to be proud of the same level of rivals, so what is the good of this car, why is it so popular? Today, Xiaobian will take the 1.5T fuel version as an example to talk to you about the advantages and disadvantages of the Honda CR-V.
Let's talk about the shortcomings of CR-V, although the popularity and sales of CR-V are very high, its shortcomings are also very obvious, mainly in the following aspects:
1. Poor sound insulation. Honda has always been a short board in terms of sound insulation treatment, and the rest of the models are not satisfactory except for the crown road, and the CR-V is no exception. After the car is driven up, as long as the speed exceeds 40km/h, the tire noise will be obviously transmitted to the car, the rapid acceleration of the deep throttle, the engine will also appear "roaring" situation, when the speed exceeds 80km/h, the wind noise also began to gradually increase, it is not an exaggeration to say that the CR-V sound insulation performance and about 100,000 models are not too much difference, so if you are concerned about sound insulation friends, then it is estimated that it will not be considered.
2. General power. Honda has always been known as "buy engine to send the car", indicating that Honda's engine technology is relatively advanced, CR-V gasoline version of the model is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, the maximum power of 193 horsepower, the maximum torque of 243 Nm, in addition to the minimum model matching 6-speed manual transmission, the rest are matched with CVT gearbox. Regarding this power combination, the actual driving experience of Xiaobian can only be said to be barely enough, but it is definitely not strong, and the 2.0T low-power engines of Volkswagen Tiguan L and Tanyue at the same price, or the 2.0T engines of Buick Encore and Chevrolet Explorer, are much better than CR-V.
3. The machine is old. As with sound insulation, the car machine system has also been Honda's weakness, CR-V uses a 7-inch LCD touch screen, the resolution is not very high, the key is that the car machine system and the elderly machine of ten years ago are almost the same, the interface is old, the response is sluggish, the function is the most basic, and Honda in order to promote its own Honda CONNECT system to users, in cr-V the entire series canceled the Carplay mobile phone interconnection, many owners finally felt that this system is really not easy to use, You can only modify Carplay at your own expense.
4. Other kinds of small problems, such as thin car paint, if it is a white car is relatively good, the black car paint is particularly thin, after the normal car wash in the sun will see a lot of small scratches, in addition to the phenomenon of eating tire partial grinding, because the CR-V rear wheel is in the shape of the outer eight, although it can increase the driving stability, but some owners after opening for a period of time found that the rear wheel partial grinding is serious, can only replace the tire, there are fuel tank noise, oil increase and other issues Some car owners have also encountered, and the workmanship of CR-V is not good, The solder joints on the door panels are particularly casual, and the burrs are directly painted without polishing, which is 18,000 miles worse than the workmanship of the public.
Although the CR-V has so many disadvantages, but since this car sells very well, it shows that there are still many advantages to it, and let's talk about its advantages:
1. Plenty of space. As a compact SUV with a wheelbase of only 2661mm, CR-V can be said to be the ultimate in terms of space utilization, its front and rear space are very spacious, even if the adults with a height of 1 meter 8 will not feel the slightest depression, the rear floor is flat, the trunk volume is enough to meet the daily household, and after the seat is reclined, it becomes a "large flat layer" in seconds, which is very practical. In addition, the CR-V seat is also very comfortable, the seat cushion is thick and soft, the front side of the row is well wrapped, and the rear row supports the thighs very well, which is not faulty.
2. Fuel consumption economy. After many car owners actually measured, CR-V 1.5T model in the case of urban congestion, the average fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is about 10L, higher in winter, if you run high-speed, the average fuel consumption of 100 kilometers can reach 6L, and the comprehensive is about 8.7L / 100 kilometers, this fuel consumption and Tiguan L, Tanyue, Oncovey and other German and American cars are relatively economical, which also benefits from the credit of the CVT stepless transmission, which is very smooth to drive, and the fuel consumption is of great help.
3. Brand effect. Have to admit that many consumers in the car selection is very focused on the brand effect, as a global model, CR-V has been listed for many years, experienced many generations, the quality of word of mouth has been very good, the early need to increase the price of the car, now although there is no need to increase the price, but also often in a car is difficult to find a state, many car owners have to wait for two or three months after booking, so that everyone feels that it can sell so hot naturally has its reason, so they have chosen CR-V.
Summary: From a comprehensive point of view, I personally think that the reason why CR-V can sell so well is because it has captured the pain points of consumers, spacious space, high comfort, fuel consumption economy, which are exactly what ordinary home users need, as for sound insulation, power, and car machinery are not so important. In addition, there is a point to say, that is, cr-V post-maintenance costs are actually not cheap, now many models are 10,000 kilometers or a year of maintenance can be, but CR-V even if you add full synthetic oil, but also require 5,000 kilometers or half a year maintenance once, each time the oil, filter, fuel additives and man-hours costs added together is about 600 yuan, twice a year is 1200 yuan, and BMW, Audi is almost the same, can only say that Honda this engine is too delicate.
