Features

With only one engine choice for the 1998 CRV, it features an all-alloy dual overhead cam (DOHC) design, but lacks the VTEC variable valve tuning system found in other Honda models.
Power
-
The CRV's engine develops 126 horsepower and 133 foot-pounds of torque, thanks to the large bore design. However, this engine feels underpowered due to the vehicle's 1,455 kg curb weight.

Fuel Economy
-
The CRV's engine excels at providing decent fuel economy for an SUV of its size. According to recently revised U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates, the 2-liter engine should achieve 19 mpg during city driving and 23 mpg on the highway. Drivers should see an average of 20 to 21 mpg in most conditions, for an engine that's regularly serviced. These figures apply for both the two- and four-wheel drive variations, as well as both automatic and manual transmissions.
