FNX Magokiler Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) The plug-in hybrid version has a powertrain with 184 HP of power and offers up to 82 kilometers of autonomy on a charge. The sixth generation of the Honda CR-V, the company's best-selling model worldwide, and which is already sold in Chile, arrives in Europe exclusively with electrified versions, whether the well-known conventional hybrid e:HEV that we have known since its launch in 2022, and a new plug-in hybrid e:PHEV. PHEV versions were available since the previous generation of the CR-V, but for this generation the system has been improved to offer more electric range and more fuel efficiency. Honda says the new e:PHEV version of the CR-V offers up to 82 km of all-electric range thanks to the use of a larger, 17.7 kWh capacity battery, which is coupled to a high-performance electric charger. The brand indicates that the greater electrical assistance allows the engine speed to be kept much lower than before, which improves noise levels, refinement and fuel efficiency at different speeds. Honda indicates that the consumption of the CR-V e:PHEV is only 125 km per liter with a fully charged battery. When the battery runs out, the vehicle becomes a traditional hybrid. The location of the electrical components, the optimization of the size of the cooling system and the mounting of the battery under the floor allow it to offer a trunk with a capacity of 587 liters, while the extensive use of aluminum in its casing and construction has also allowed reduce the weight of the unit. The charging port is located in the front left wheel arch, and allows 100% of the battery capacity to be recovered in 2.5 hours, thanks to the charging power of 6.8 kW. On a household socket with a charging capacity of 2.3 kW per hour, the CR-V's battery will take approximately 7.7 hours. Like the conventional hybrid version, the CR-V Plug-in Hybrid uses a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder Atkinson cycle gasoline engine, which delivers 148 HP and 189 Nm of torque. Honda says it has been revised with a high-pressure multistage direct injection fuel system, a high-performance catalyst and low-temperature activation. It features enlarged exhaust tips for improved power, a urethane engine cover, and increased crankshaft rigidity. The total system offers 184 Hp of power and 335 Nm of torque, and is only available with front-wheel drive. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.4 seconds and the maximum speed is 194 km/h. It has 4 driving modes (Sport, Normal, Econ and Snow), which change the vehicle's configuration in engine performance, traction and efficiency. https://noticias.autocosmos.cl/2023/09/15/la-honda-cr-v-ephev-debuta-en-europa Edited September 20, 2023 by [Ty]M@g0k1l3r T/C.
