My 2 month old CR-V Hybrid is
My 2 month old CR-V Hybrid is wonderfully quiet, comfortable, and economic. I‘m getting 43.5 miles to the gallon here in Germany (5.7 Liters per hundred Kilometers) having driven a mix of Autobahn to Austria and back, as well as lots of city miles around home in a suburb of Hannover. There is the option of pressing the Econ button, which reduces the torque a bit, as well as the Sport button, which noticeably increases the power over the default compromise between the two options. The price one pays for the comfort and economy is an unusual disconnect between the accelerator and engine revolutions, which can be disconcerting in the beginning. The computer decides whether the engine revs charge the batteries, drive the wheels, or a combination of both. The electric motor truly supports the gasoline engine, resulting in great mileage for the weight. This new model is the largest CR-V made, and has plenty of room inside!
