Where did you get the cvt fluid changed from? Are the local honda dealers equipped to properly change this / top it up?

[ifadey]

I work on my cars. I don't trust anyone. I buy OEM parts only.

I wrote about the Honda recommended CVTF change procedure in Honda City GM6 thread.

I will do it in August this year. 9700 last month. Prices are changing every couple of days due to increasing dollar rate. Some dealerships do it themselves, but you can ask them to change it if they don't. Price of CVT filter was 2400 last month. I am not sure whether dealerships change CVT fluid according to service manual because I don't visit them since I work on my cars. I heard some dealerships just drain and fill the 3.5 liter container because that's the quantity mentioned …

There is a slight difference in this procedure for Civic 11th gen. You don't need to warm up the engine until radiator fan kicks in twice. You can skip this step for new Civic. Other than that it's mostly same for all Hondas

Yes there is a CVT fluid cooler and apart from sump CVT filter, there is also small line filter within the CVT fluid cooler.

Where can i find this gauge and what is it's cost?

I visited emporium and sat in the Tucson. However I found the space quite tight both back and front as compared to hrv. Now I am really confused which car to buy in case I sell my Hrv

Would you recommend buying HR-V? I am searching for a SUV and choices r Koreans or Honda hrv

[pwuser167536480499]

Koreans are better.

[ifadey]

HR-V
* Exterior design is very good
* Better fuel economy
* No cruise control
* Smaller than Sportage/Tuson

Sportage/Tuson
* Bigger
* Poor fuel economy, specially in city driving.

Do a feature comparison as well before finalizing your decision. I cannot comment on the comfort level since I don't own them.

[AkbarGr8]

Check out the Haval Jolion or H6 - I know they're chinese but do test drive them / experience the interior and compare with sportage / hrv.

[mustafasethi]

As comparative, sit in HRV first in the front and back seat, and then sit in Sportage or Tucson, and you will find them to be tighter / congested than HRV.

Regarding Haval / jolian, I don't have any idea about them and also I am not interested in them.

However if you sit in Oshan Future sense (5 seater) the space is quite a lot , more than HRV or any other such 5 seater cross over.

And yes , I would recommend the hrv to you , and my reasons are:
1. Nice to drive , light steering response, you can see half of the bonnet so it makes for easy drivability.
2. Lot of sitting space in the back and in the front. A lot (i mean a lot) of leg room in the back even if the drivers seat is adjusted backwards.
3. Up to date design (new design) which is currently in the markets worldwide.
4. Better fuel average as compared to other aspirated 1.5 engines.
5. High body clearance. you can easily go to Babusar or Raikot even and the body won't hit from the underside.
6. Nice pickup and the car is very very stable at 120 and you have the itch / feeling to speed up more.
7. Good ac response.

[bazilahmad]

1. How much is the average (city and long)
2. Do you think atlas will launch the hybrid version given the success of Corolla cross
3. Is the back seat really less congested than sportage. How does the back seat compare to the previous civic?

[jklodhi]

Yes. Back seat is for 02 persons as middle seat is raised and is not comfortable

[mustafasethi]

average in city is 13.2 and long around 15.5 without ac.

Just got 17 from it going to gujranwala from lahore but max speed was 90.

The middle seat is raised normal sized people can bear it and fit in it. Sportage of Tucson middle seat is not raised

[bazilahmad]

Does anyone have any contact in Honda or know if they launching Hybrid HRV. With cross selling so well, it seems like a good idea to launch

[pwuser167550015690]

Considering how badly the HR-V failed in the local market, I doubt they'd be planning to introduce an even higher priced variant unless they can significantly bring the price down overall.

Atlas would likely be able to improve the sales considerably if they can reduce the price by PKR 1-1.5 million (basically replace the BR-V) and then launching Hybrid variants in the current price bracket would make sense.

[bazilahmad]

With cross selling successfully at 9.3-9.8m. A hybrid HRV at the same price point should sell too

[ifadey]

Honda products are usually expensive than Toyota. I think HRV hybrid may touch 1 crore, or it could be slightly more than that.

[daniyalcars72]

nope honda atlas strips the cars of many features which are otherwise offered internationally then proceed to overprice the car(charge the same price as the fully equipped car which is offered internationally like in Malaysia ,Thailand)..the build quality is also subpar,thats the main reason of dead sales ..if they pull their pants in these areas they can make a dent to corolla cross sales otherwise not even a chance ..and even globally toyota hybrid are much more successful then hondas ..right now the hrv is competing in an unknown territory almost all buyers will prefer a corolla cross over it as its better build and gives fuel avg of a 660cc while power of a 1.8 with many features although little less space inside as its basically subcompact crossover suv. so Honda atlas should launch hyrbid hrv(which is called vezel) and put decent features not strip it and price it similar only then it can give competition to cross not a likely case ..right now they are making profit of off city sales.

[saad0irfan]

power of a 1.8

You mean 98hp?
