It provides robust acceleration and a decent fuel economy at 26 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway. But if you are looking for more power, the optional 190-horsepower 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine is an excellent choice as well and provides a slightly improved fuel economy at 28 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway. Included with the CR-V is standard front wheel drive but all-wheel drive is available for better traction off the road. Also standard is a continuously variable transmission that shifts smoothly under most circumstances.
