Honda CR-V MPG

There are many factors that go into deciding the right ride for your specific needs. If you’re journeying around Bloomington, Columbus, and Ellettsville, you probably don’t want to make frequent stops at the pump, so fuel efficiency is high on your list of must-haves.

Typically, larger cars are not known for their impressive fuel ratings—but the 2020 Honda CR-V is not your average SUV. The CR-V is meticulously crafted inside and out to turn heads as your cruise by, as well as deliver an impressive EPA-estimated 28 city/34 highway MPG with the LX, EX, EX-l, and Touring trims.[1]

Fuel Economy of the 2020 Honda CR-V 

Under the hood, the Honda CR-V boasts two powertrain options, each delivering superior fuel economy for unparalleled  drives. The standard  gas motor is where you’ll get an EPA-estimated 28 city/34 highway MPG on all trim levels in two-wheel drive, helping you fuel up and be on your way with minimal interruptions.

All-wheel drive is also available to pair with this powertrain. You’ll get the benefit of extra traction and stability though a variety of road conditions––while still maintaining a great MPG––so you can travel far and wide with confidence.

If you’re looking for even more fuel efficiency, though, the CR-V also has you covered with a hybrid motor. It gets up to an EPA-estimated 40 city/35 highway MPG, and is available on all trims, as well.¹ This engine is the ideal option for eco-minded drivers who want to maximize their time behind the wheel.

Explore Farther & Longer

Nothing beats the thrills of the open road, so the Honda CR-V SUV is armed with a 14-gallon fuel tank to keep you on the street longer. A tank of this size means you’ll be able to venture nearly 480 highway miles on just one tank of gas alone!

Grab some friends to check out Buckner Cave, and make sure to end your day at Pizza X for a satisfying slice. With the CR-V, you won’t need to make a gas station stop. Clearly the possibilities are endless in this SUV.

To ensure you’re reaching your maximum MPG potential, the CR-V is equipped with an Eco Assist™ system. It provides you with your driving specs and gives tips on how to improve your performance to help have an efficient and enjoyable trek.

Powertrain Specs & Performance Features

In addition to outstanding fuel economy, the engines in the CR-V will create a thrilling, quick ride. The standard gas-powered engine outputs a heart-stopping 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque to take your every drive to the next level.

When you choose the more eco-minded hybrid option, you’ll also get 212 total-system horsepower for long journeys you’ll never forget.

No matter how exciting things get on the open road, the 2020 Honda CR-V will keep everything quiet inside with Active Noise Cancellation. It helps to dampen unwanted engine and road noises, so you can sit back and enjoy your favorite tunes throughout your trek.

Fuel-Saving Tips in Your Honda CR-V 

Obviously the CR-V is built to take you on some exciting adventures, and you probably want to maximize your fuel efficiency at all times. The following are some simple ways to help improve your fuel economy:

• Improve Aerodynamics- Nothing beats the feeling of the wind in your hair as you cruise down backroads, but once you reach the highway, you may want to put those windows back up. Aerodynamics plays a large part in saving fuel. By raising your windows, you can help reduce wind resistance and stay away from the pump longer.
• Maintain a Consistent Pace- With the exhilarating engines in the CR-V, you may feel compelled to hit the roads with vigor. However, a slow and steady pace, rather than quick acceleration, will help you cut down on fuel costs.
• Get an Oil Change - Motor oil changes are essential to keeping your engine functioning properly. When your oil is low or dirty, your powertrain may have to work harder to overcompensate and therefore, use more fuel. Make sure to get an oil change about every 7,500 miles to make sure you’re maintaining your MPG.
• Maintain Your Tires- Your tires are another component highly affecting your fuel economy. Old, worn out tires can create drag or slow down your vehicle. Rotate them every 5,000 miles to keep them balanced and change them out around the 40,000-mile mark. Always check them for any damage, as well, and seek a service center if you need assistance.
• Reduce Your Weight- An expansive cabin with up to 75.8 cubic feet of room in the CR-V means you can tote some serious cargo. When your SUV is constantly weighed down, though, this can cause your vehicle’s fuel efficiency to lessen. Additionally, this car can pull up to 1,500 pounds, so your pop-up tent can make the journey as well. When towing, though, you should expect lesser fuel economy.
