Vehicle details
Honda CR-V 1.6 i-DTEC 160 SE Plus 5dr Diesel Estate, , The Honda CR-V Diesel Estate 1.6 i-DTEC 160 SE Plus 5dr stands as a benchmark for long-distance family motoring, combining exceptional fuel economy with rugged practicality and a highly dependable mechanical footprint. Designed before the industry's widespread shift toward hybridization, this version of the popular sport utility vehicle relies on a highly advanced, downsized twin-turbocharged diesel engine. It appeals directly to drivers who travel extensive motorway miles and require a robust, spacious vehicle capable of effortless towing and cruising.
The defining feature of this model is its exceptionally efficient 1.6-litre i-DTEC diesel engine, which produces a muscular 160 horsepower. By utilizing two turbochargers working in tandem, the engine delivers smooth, linear power from very low engine speeds, making it feel incredibly responsive when pulling away from a standstill or overtaking at highway speeds. This impressive torque output also makes it an ideal companion for towing caravans or trailers. Despite its heavy-duty performance capabilities, the engine achieves remarkable fuel economy on long journeys, heavily outperforming equivalent petrol models and reducing the frequency of fuel stops.
Practicality is where this five-door diesel estate truly excels over standard family hatchbacks. The rear passenger doors open wide for easy access, and the rear seats feature a clever one-motion folding mechanism. With a simple pull of a lever inside the boot, the rear seats automatically dive forward and fold completely flat, instantly transforming the vehicle into a cavernous cargo van. The boot floor itself is low and wide, making it effortless to load bulky items, heavy luggage, or pet enclosures.
