Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI) has released the official results of the fuel economy run using the All-New Civic and the All-New HR-V.
Under the auspices of the Automobile Association of the Philippines (AAP), the vehicles were tested with the following conditions:
- 129 kilometers of highway driving
- 60-80 kph speed at 1,500-2,000 rpm
- air-conditioning at 24°C temperature, and no. 1 fan speed.
The All-New Civic RS Turbo CVT Honda SENSING registered a fuel mileage of 21.43 kilometers per liter. The V Turbo CVT Honda SENSING did 24.34 kilometers per liter, and the S CVT Honda SENSING recorded the highest fuel efficiency rating of 29.66 kilometers per liter.
The All-New Civic and HR-V V Turbo highlight the 1.5-Liter DOHC i-VTEC Turbo engines that provide an ideal balance of dynamic performance and fuel efficiency. In the Civic, this engine produces 178ps and 240Nm of torque, while the HR-V V Turbo packs 177 ps and 240 Nm. On the other hand, the non-turbo HR-V S variant produces 121ps and 145Nm of torque. All models’ engines are mated with a Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) that helps maximize fuel efficiency for a refined driving experience.
“With fluctuating fuel prices, we understand how important fuel efficiency is to vehicle owners. Through this eco run, we are not only demonstrating that Honda vehicles are fuel efficient in local conditions, but we also want to encourage customers that they too can have excellent fuel mileage. It does help to have safe driving habits and to observe the periodic maintenance service, especially combined with advanced technology features like the Honda SENSING,” said Mr. Masahiko Nakamura, HCPI President.
Honda has set its global targets to achieve 100% electrification of automobiles by 2040 and carbon neutrality for products and corporate activities by 2050. Honda is also aiming for zero collision fatalities from the use of all its products by 2050.
