Do you put a premium on fuel economy? With today’s traffic, who wouldn’t? If your answer is yes, Honda Cars Philippines (HCPI) wants you to consider two of the newer offerings in its lineup: the all-new Honda Brio and the new BR-V mini SUV.
Both of the above-mentioned vehicles passed a recent fuel-economy run with flying colors. The all-new Brio, which packs a 1.2-liter gasoline engine capable of 89hp and 110Nm of torque, finished the run—a 231km nighttime highway drive—with an average of 24.39km/L.
The new BR-V and its 1.5-liter i-VTEC gasoline engine (118hp and 145Nm of torque), meanwhile, impressed with 22.58km/L. Both units tested were CVT variants.
The fuel-economy run was conducted in partnership with the Automobile Association Philippines (AAP), with the cars maintaining 60-80kph at 1,500-2000rpm. A/C systems were all set to 50% cool at the lowest blower speed, HCPI said in a statement.
“By knowing the fuel rating of these vehicles achieved through realistic conditions, customers will be able to make an informed and intelligent decision in their car purchase,” the company said.
