The long-awaited 2.4 I-VTEC engine with a capacity of 166 hp Inhaled at Honda CR-V The drive that was so lacking a 2-liter version of the car
 
The appearance in the lineup CR-V of a 2.4-liter engine was expected for a long time, and the new power unit did not disappoint. Particular attention when setting up a motor in Honda was given to ensure a high torque and engine elasticity. So, in comparison with a 2-liter engine, the maximum torque increased by 28 nm and reached 220 nm at 4200 min-1. However, the main advantage of the new Honda CR-V engine is not even in the absolute values \u200b\u200bof the torque, but in the latitude of the range in which they are achieved. Thanks to the use of the opening time change system (VTC) and the valve lifting height (VTEC) already 2000 min-1 power unit reaches 80% of the maximum moment!
The enviable elasticity of the engine, coupled with the relatively low weight of the car, is 1595 kg and a good five-speed automatic gearbox is provided by CR-V excellent traction-dynamic characteristics. The new 2.4-liter engine allows the Honda to accelerate to 100 km/h even faster than the grandmaster for the class of parquet SUVs 10 seconds.
