The 1.5 VTEC turbo petrol engine in the CR-V is designed with efficiency in mind. But where it performs well in the Civic hatchback, it has to deal with more weight, as well as four-wheel-drive and a CVT transmission in some models, all of which are a further drain on its overall efficiency. The switch from NEDC testing to the WLTP measure hasn鈥檛 done the petrol engined CR-V many favours. The most efficient CR-V petrol in S trim with two-wheel drive and a manual gearbox has the best-quoted economy at 38.7mpg, some 6mpg poorer than the 44.8mpg quoted in the NEDC test. However, it鈥檚 doesn鈥檛 mean it鈥檚 any worse in the real world, and in fact, you鈥檙e more likely to match the 38.7mpg when driving. Emissions are 143g/km for the 2WD manual, 151g/k for the AWD manual, and 162g/km for the CVT 4x4 petrol model. The CR-V Hybrid performs better, although a WLTP-verified best of 40.9mpg for the 2WD model and 38.7mpg for the four-wheel-drive model isn鈥檛 a patch on the most efficient diesels. However, the similarly powerful Hyundai Tucson 2.0 CRDi mild hybrid has a similar quoted economy figure. Emissions for the CR-V Hybrid are 120g/km, or up slightly to 126g/km for the 4WD version. The main benefit of the CR-V Hybrid is that it avoids the 3 per cent Benefit In Kind surcharge that similar diesel models offer. That puts it in lower BiK tax groups when compared to diesel rivals, so company car users will save cash by choosing the hybrid model. The CR-V Hybrid charges its battery by energy regeneration or via the petrol engine, so cannot be charged by plugging into a charging point. Insurance groups for the Honda CR-V range from 24E for the S 1.5 VTEC manual two-wheel-drive up to 25E for the most expensive Hybrid SR model with four-wheel-drive.
WASHINGTON, June 3 (Reuters) - Volkswagen AG Chief Executive Herbert Diess met on Monday with the top U.S. Mexican vehicles, two people briefed on the matter said. Diess met with U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, the sources said. A spokesman for Lighthizer did not immediately comment. The tariffs could cause the largest European automaker significant pain. Mexican made vehicles accounted for nearly half of Volkswagen's U.S. The company builds the Jetta and Tiguan among other models at its Puebla, Mexico, plant and builds engines at a plant in Silao. It also assembles the Audi Q5, its best-selling U.S. A Volkswagen of America spokesman confirmed Diess was in Washington but declined to confirm his meeting with Lighthizer. In December, Diess was among a group of senior executives of leading German automakers who were pressed by Trump to expand their investments in the United States. 800 million to build a new electric vehicle at its plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Diess also said in January that the company was considering building Audi vehicles in the United States but that no decisions had been made.
