Update: Attention All Honda Owners: Your 4x4 CR-V Might Not Be A 4x4 After All
Honda's 4x4 system has been called into question once again, after recent tests appear to show the SUV failing to pull itself up a low-traction-simulated road. We now have an official statement from Honda UK, which you can see at the bottom of this page
www.carthrottle.com
What a horrid disappointment.
From a Honda spokesperson:
"Honda’s AWD system uses a compact, lightweight and fuel efficient rear differential. Due to this construction, certain torque limits are set to enable the unit to perform effectively in real world conditions, while not exceeding the overall strength of the unit."
Translated = low rent childs toy with a grapefruit size diff marketed as the genuine article.
