Every manufacturer works hard to make their engines as efficient as possible. At Honda, we've been leading the way for a long time, offering the most efficient fleet in the industry. And it's not because we offer one or two highly efficient models that the rest of our products are not. On the contrary, they are all examples to follow.
The reason for this is that we have proven and effective technologies under the hood of our vehicles. Here are three of them.
Turbocharged engines
Honda has always offered efficient naturally-aspirated engines and still does. However, to take efficiency to the next level, Honda has introduced turbocharged powertrains in recent years, resulting in even more impressive numbers at the pump. Just think of the CR-V or Civic's performance to realize this.
An engine that benefits from a turbo is smaller in displacement, so most of the time, it consumes less fuel. The turbo is there when you need power. And with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) behind it, its performance is even more convincing.
VCM
The letters VCM refer to the cylinder deactivation system found on some V6 models. The technology is simple; it consists of resting certain cylinders in order to allow the engine to run at a stable speed while using less fuel. Behind the wheel, you can't help but notice the difference.
ECON mode
It would be possible, for any attentive driver, to minimize its consumption by being very soft with the gas pedal. However, he can't act on the work of the transmission and the engine himself. With the ECON mode, Honda offers a solution based on a simple technology that parameters the work of the powertrain, the gearbox and the accelerator pedal.
With the mode on, you feel a resistance to acceleration while the engine provides what is necessary. The transmission also works to be more efficient. In the end, we melt our average fuel consumption. It's hard to ask for more.
Come see us to find out how these technologies perform in a test drive. You can also ask about our hybrid technologies. Here again, Honda is innovating with a very interesting approach.
