any experience the driver seat has like some "loose spring" inside that when ur buttock sitd on it at diff angle there is a particular one or 2 spring that stands out? (not too sure if this description is correct). cant say about other seats coz i only drive it.

no. solid as always. btw, any idea how to drive a hybrid car? it says got 335 nm combined but when you suddenly floor the throttle, the car hardly will pick up speed.

The car is heavy and FWD so the pickup isn't great, but if you've driven something like a regular petrol turbo, like the 1.5T engine, the instant torque is so nice as you don't need to wait for RPM to rise and turbo to spool before you get that kick in the butt sensation.

Guessed so but the turbo version very low specs le. So honda exaggerated on the torque for the RS version

I think it happened to me... I felt like when I sit toward the left, there's always the "pop" sound which I have long suspect something is not tightened...

My CRV RS have this similar sound too. Wonder what it is.

At high speed, the 1.5T is more powerful.

seriously?? normal mode is already enuff for me to feel the torque. sport mode even give more juice.

havent tried sports mode yet. on normal mode. what i meant was sudden step on the throttle like overtaking or coming out of a junction. I dont feel the pulling feeling.

i guess its subjective. to me i can feel the pull immediately when i step on the accelerator, even in normal mode.

Is this thread applicable for Gen6 CRV as well? If yes then is there any user of S-Spec Variant here? I want to ask how do i enable the Walk Away Auto Lock function? There is no vehicle settings in the radio unit to select or change..

try sports mode. may that ngam u for the "power" feel. but i cannot tahan the fake "speaker" sound of the rev engine hahah

Unlike full EVs, Hybrid electric motor power delivery is not full instant torque as it is tune for efficiency over sportiness. Cannot compare with full EV with huge battery and full motor drive.

Honda tuned the acceleration to provide linear drive rather than explosive. Priority is on fuel economy so the throttle response is deliberately muted.
Full EV no need fuel economy, full electrical power, can floor as much as you like but even then, some eCVT of EV also deliberately controlled the throttle to ensure smooth and linear acceleration.

The funny thing is even in sport mode, the CR-V Hybrid focuses on engine noise simulation rather than true performance tuning. In the end, still first priority is fuel economy.

Never drive an EV before so i would not be able to comment much. However I'm quite agree with the linear drive statement compared to explosive. my view, the torque graph for EV will be steeper compared to hybrid.

other than that, i believe the instant response is still there. maybe the lag due to power to weight ratio as well.

anyway this just my opinion..

I have only briefly driven a BYD Atto and the CRV hybrid so my memory is not perfect. And yes, the BYD has instant torque and that was fun. Whereas I don't think the CRV has that and in fact, driving luxury in town with traffic, not too much different from the 1.5T

Hybrid has instant torque, no doubt about that. Personally I think in certain circumstances such as in jam, cutting out to the 3rd lane very fast AND have to speed up instantly with the 3rd lane rear cars closing in very fast....the instant torque with eCVT are very noticeable different from 1.5T with CVT. Not only the turbo takes some times, the CVT gear also will takes time to accelerate upwards although that can be in seconds or within seconds BUT motorised eCVT practically has not delay if place side by side in comparison.

The way the torque comes in and accelerate in RS aka Hybrid practically feels like zero delay. Oh yes, the engine of hybrid will also roar hard when that happen giving the impression the engine is pushing itself to limit to give this torque but in reality, the amount of power needed for pedal to metal in such situation comes mostly from battery with motor still driving the wheel but in such case, the battery just don't have enuf juice thus the engine comes in to power the battery giving the impression the engine roaring is the engine pushing its limit to drive the wheel (not totally wrong BUT it is the motor torque powering the wheel then).

The word instant torque is misleading giving ppl impression it must be high powered g-force type of torque that ev cars like tesla gave out. Instant torque with motor based single gear eCVT gives immediate power to wheel but tuning of the power based on car weight, muting power for power efficiency and fuel savings of hybrid cars like honda that require the engine to power the battery (very small battery) all comes into play thus the instant torque feel are massively muted BUT there is instant torque. Unfortunately the tuning for fuel saving efficiency that is not needed in full EV vehicle makes the instant torque don't feel like instant torque sometimes but the very constant stable flow of power from the moment u accelerate and keep accelerating is so constant feels like the motor have lots of juice there for you to use and will not run out. They just don't give you lots of juice immediately, give controlled incremental juice but it is there immediately for you if your press metal to pedal.

Inclusion of eCVT motorised single gear vs CVT gear box is really a big deal that is IMO under emphasize in hybrid or EV cars. eCVT vs CVT plays a very major roles in torque distribution that most ppl just point it out like a passing tech advancement, not the key tech but IMO, it is one of the key tech that makes a huge deal between electrical powered car and ICE.

on Head Unit - Vehicle Setting - Door Setting - Walk Away Auto Lock
there is dedicated Vehicle Setting icon at home page

You are not from Malaysia??
from your pics,, your head unit a bit different,, our come with only 1 knob (Power and Volume)

make sure your gear at P ya

Original Toyo tires. How many km you people reckon it will last? My guess is, 40K

Scary these Toyo tyres... the other day I was taking a corner at 75KM/h... the tyre already gave a warning...

the other car with Michelin PS4 all good at 75-80KM/h same corner....
