If you, like us, have enjoyed the comfort and utility of Honda's CR-V while being a bit annoyed at the lack of vooma in the petrol model, worry no more. The 2.0-litre unit has been blown into the weeds with the introduction of a very competent 2.4-litre engine.
And prospective 2.4 i-VTEC owners will have whining reef drivers to thank for the honour. The 2.0-litre, which was relatively lackluster when tested at the coast, was hopefully underpowered at altitude. Thankfully, having the Swindon plant on speed dial soon cleared up that problem...
Developing 122 kW at 5 200 r/min and 220 Nm at 4 200 r/min (power and torque are up by 11- and 16% respectively over the 2.0-litre unit), this 2.4 i-VTEC unit makes for entertaining transportation.
