Hello Tim. While the HR-V
Hello Tim. While the HR-V features a 1.8 Liter fuel injected i-VTEC engine as featured in Civic, that's where the similarity ends. The Engine and CVT have been tuned specifically to the job on hand. One prime example of this is a broader, lower RPM torque curve and shift point specific to the larger tire, rim size and weight of HR-V. It works well. Check it out for yourself when you find a minute to drive it.
