Users opinions and questions

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can you provide a detailed comparison of the Honda CR-V Mk2's fuel efficiency and emissions ratings between different trims, as well as explain any changes made during the 1997 facelift?

Certainly! The Honda CR-V Mk2 was produced from 1996 to 2001 and went through a facelift in 1997. Here's a comparison of the fuel efficiency and emissions ratings between different trim levels for both the pre-facelift (1996-1997) and post-facelift (1998-2001) models:
Pre-Facelift Models:
- LX/EX 2.0L DOHC I4: City/Highway fuel efficiency - 22/30 mpg, CO2 emissions - 247 g/km
Post-Facelift Models:
- LX 2.0L SOHC I4 (1998-2000): City/Highway fuel efficiency - 22/30 mpg, CO2 emissions - 250 g/km
- EX 2.0L DOHC I4 (1998-2000): City/Highway fuel efficiency - 22/30 mpg, CO2 emissions - 246 g/km
- LX/EX VTEC 2.0L DOHC I4 (2001): City/Highway fuel efficiency - 21/29 mpg, CO2 emissions - 255 g/km
The facelift in 1997 brought several changes to the CR-V Mk2. Honda introduced a new base model with a 2.0L SOHC I4 engine (replacing the previous 1.6L DOHC I4), which resulted in slightly higher CO2 emissions than the pre-facelift LX/EX trim levels. The VTEC version of the 2.0L DOHC I4 engine was introduced for the 2001 model year, but it had slightly lower fuel efficiency compared to the previous models. Overall, the CR-V Mk2 was known for its decent fuel efficiency and relatively low emissions for a compact SUV at the time.

How does the advanced all-wheel drive system in the 1997 Honda CR-V Mk2 provide superior handling and traction on both dry and slippery roads?

The advanced all-wheel drive system in the 1997 Honda CR-V Mk2 provides superior handling and traction on both dry and slippery roads through its Real Time Four Wheel Drive (RT4WD) technology. This system constantly monitors driving conditions and distributes power to the front and rear wheels based on real-time input from a variety of sensors, including acceleration, steering angle, wheel speed, and yaw rate. In normal driving conditions on dry roads, the RT4WD system defaults to front-wheel drive to maximize fuel efficiency. However, as soon as it detects wheel slippage or reduced traction in one or more wheels, it instantly shifts power to the rear wheels to provide extra grip and stability. This helps prevent understeer (when the car wants to push wide) and oversteer (when the back end steps out), resulting in better handling and control. Moreover, in slippery conditions such as snow, ice, or mud, the RT4WD system can distribute power more evenly between all four wheels to help maintain traction and prevent wheelspin. This allows the CR-V Mk2 to traverse slick surfaces with confidence and stability. Overall, the advanced all-wheel drive system in the 1997 Honda CR-V Mk2 provides superior handling and traction on both dry and slippery roads by intelligently adapting to changing conditions and providing optimal power distribution for maximum safety and performance.
