About
The Honda CR-V base model, particularly the diesel variant, is a well-rounded SUV that combines the best of both worlds the ground clearance and stance of an SUV with the driving dynamics of a car. The 1.6 diesel engine produces 118 bhp and 300 Nm of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic gearbox, making it responsive and efficient. The CR-V features a premium cabin with soft-touch plastics, leather upholstery, and advanced features like a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, dual-zone climate control, and a blind spot camera. While it has some limitations, such as compromised second-row headroom in diesel variants and a laggy infotainment system, the CR-Vs overall package of comfort, performance, and features makes it a strong choice for family-oriented buyers. Its car-like driving manners and good all-round visibility also make it an excellent city car.

Our take on this /// Verdict
The Honda CR-V base model, particularly the diesel variant, is a compelling choice for those seeking a blend of urban agility and SUV-like stance. My experience with the CR-V has been largely positive, with its ergonomic design making it a joy to drive, especially in city conditions. The 1.6 diesel engine, though not the most refined, is responsive and paired well with the 9-speed automatic gearbox, making it adept at navigating through dense city traffic. However, the diesel engines gruff note is a notable drawback. The CR-Vs premium cabin quality, plush ride, and solid road presence are significant advantages. Despite some minor issues like small buttons and a laggy touchscreen infotainment system, the CR-V remains a strong contender in its segment.
Price
The Honda CR-V base model, specifically the 1.6 diesel automatic variant, was priced around Rs 30.74 lakh ex-showroom. When considering on-road prices, you can expect to add another Rs 3-4 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes, bringing the total to approximately Rs 33.74 lakh to Rs 34.74 lakh. This pricing positions the CR-V competitively in the mid-size SUV segment, offering a balance of features, comfort, and performance. However, its important to note that Honda has discontinued the CR-V, so prices may vary based on available stock and any potential discounts.
Mileage
Thursday, 21 November 2024 11:28 PM
The Honda CR-Vs diesel variant offers impressive fuel efficiency, with an ARAI-certified mileage of 18.9 kmpl. In real-world driving, I managed to achieve around 11.7 kmpl in city conditions with significant idling, which is quite economical. This makes the CR-V a viable option for those concerned about running costs, especially for long trips or daily commutes.
