Petrol crv mpg

[West17]

Hi folks,

I’m looking at either a 2019 1.5 turbo EX or a 2016 2.0 petrol Ex. Both cars are manual.

I’m wondering what the real mpg would be in these cars. I had an older 2009 2.2 Ex diesel which regularly returned 45 mpg.

I know the mpg won’t be as good but will either of these petrol models return anything near 40mpg in real world driving?

2016 2.0 real MPG is 33/38mpg:

2019 1.5 is either 35/39mpg:

Not much in it, but neither will get over 40mpg.

I believe there can be oil dilution problems with the 1.5 if you do short trips/drive in cold weather though.

Have driven the 2L auto CRV and 33mpg was the best I got on a variety of roads.

Thanks for replies. Sounds like the petrol versions are not quite as good as they claim, nothing unusual there though.

Well we bought one. A late 2018 Ex manual. Mpg is high 30s and up to 42 on a longer run on A roads which is not too far away from my old 2.2 CDti.

Lot more refined though and loving it so far

Which engine is it?

Hi, it’s the 1.5 turbo.

Clearly no where near as much torque as the old 2.2 diesel but does roll along nicely and without the fumes!

I'd go along with that. Mine was very similar
