Hire Honda CRV in Jaipur

The 2-litre petrol engine paired to a CVT engine isn’t the finest weapon in this segment when we talk displacement. Nonetheless, it makes 154bhp of power and 189Nm of torque and with the new Honda CRV petrol weighing 1,545kg, it offers decent grunt for everyday driving. While this engine/gearbox combination comes across as a bit lazy under light throttle, it gets along fine when you floor the pedal some more. The CVT, however, is unobtrusive around town and dulls the throttle response heavily although to be fair, it has been tuned in line with the relaxed nature of this drivetrain. It is a little slow to react and hardly engaging when you are up for some fun behind the wheel. That said, the rubber-band effect in here isn’t as obvious in this car as there is a nice, gradual build-up of revs on part throttle. All in all, the CVT, although silky smooth, somewhat dampens the effect of the 2-litre petrol motor which as always, is quite refined and free revving.

The Honda CRV fares much, much better when it comes to ride and handling. Unlike ladder-frame SUVs which cannot mask their weight at speed, the CR-V genuinely drives like a car, ducking into corners eagerly and staying flat mid-corner. The body control is fantastic though what’s even better is the steering feel – it’s light, direct and offers just the right amount of resistance as you go off centre. Modest drivetrain aside, the CR-V is genuinely fun to drive and as such deserves a better gearbox.

The comfort-oriented suspension offers good ride quality under most situations, though it can be a little firm in the way it recovers from bumps at low speeds. Despite the trick dampers which comes with two different sizes of tubes, one for small vertical movements and the other one which is engaged when it senses longer suspension travel, the CR-V cannot coast over sharp bumps with the same level of plushness as the Fortuner. On the contrary, it’s body control is much better with none of the jolts that you get from the Toyota or the Ford Endeavour.
