The CR-V e:HEV is outfitted with an productive 2.-litre i-VTEC petrol engine, with peak ability of 107 kW (a hundred forty five PS) at six,200 rpm, and a strong one hundred thirty five kW (184 PS) electrical motor with torque of 315 Nm (232 lb ft). Its gasoline-productive hybrid method creates CO₂ emissions from 151g/km (WLTP blended cycle) and gasoline economic system of six.6l/100km (WLTP blended cycle) on entrance-wheel push designs, and CO₂ emissions from 161g/km (WLTP blended cycle) and gasoline economic system of 7.1l/100km (WLTP blended cycle) on all-wheel push designs. The petrol-electrical powertrain can propel the CR-V e:HEV from zero to a hundred km/h in 8.six seconds in FWD specification and in 8.9 seconds for the AWD product, with a top rated velocity of a hundred and eighty km/h (112 mph).
