What engine does the Honda CRV use?, Japanese automaker Honda’s new 1.6 i-DTEC diesel engine was introduced with the CR-V model at the Geneva Motor Show. Being Honda’s newest model, the CR-V will produce 118 horsepower and 300 nm of torque with the new 1.6 i-DTEC engine.
The 1.6 i-DTEC, which will take place in Honda’s efficient engines series with the slogan of Earth Dreams Technology, will also take its place in the Civic model after the CR-V. The 1.6 i-DTEC, which also has the feature of being the lightest engine in its class, will contribute to the reduction of fuel consumption by being 47 kg lighter than the 2.2-liter i-DTEC engine of the Japanese company.
The friction coefficient in the new 1.6 i-DTEC engine has been reduced by 40% compared to the 2.2-liter diesel engine, in line with the efforts of Honda engineers to minimize the mechanical friction coefficient, which is the main purpose of the engine development stage. In addition, Honda engineers working to improve the volumetric efficiency of the cylinders, while accelerating combustion with more air intake, also managed to prevent unwanted carbon emissions.
Thanks to the exposure of the air in the engine to high and low pressure by using the gas circulation system in the exhaust, the nitrogen gas emission is minimized and it is discharged from the exhaust. It has also been announced that the CR-V, which has an environmentally friendly 1.6 i-DTEC diesel engine, will be produced at Honda’s Swindon factory in the UK and will be put on sale in the fall.
