Honda CR-V 2004 vs Mitsubishi Outlander 2003
| Gearbox: | Manual | Manual | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.2 Diesel | 2.0 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Honda CR-V) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Mitsubishi Outlander) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||
| Camshaft drive: | Timing chain | Timing belt | |
| Engine chain usually needs to be replaced less often than the timing belt, but the cost of replacing the chain is usually higher. Chain motors are considered to be more reliable, but noisier and more vibration generating. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 140 HP | 136 HP | |
| Torque: | 340 NM | 176 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 10.6 seconds | 11.4 seconds | |
|
Honda CR-V is more dynamic to drive. Honda CR-V engine produces 4 HP more power than Mitsubishi Outlander, whereas torque is 164 NM more than Mitsubishi Outlander. Thanks to more power Honda CR-V reaches 100 km/h speed 0.8 seconds faster. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 6.7 | 9.4 | |
| Real fuel consumption: | 7.5 l/100km | 9.7 l/100km | |
|
The Honda CR-V is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. By specification Honda CR-V consumes 2.7 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Mitsubishi Outlander, which means that by driving the Honda CR-V over 15,000 km in a year you can save 405 litres of fuel. By comparing actual fuel consumption based on user reports, Honda CR-V consumes 2.2 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Mitsubishi Outlander. | |||

Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 350'000 km | 520'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Mitsubishi Outlander engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 8 years | 45 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 3 other car models, including Honda Civic, Honda Accord, Honda FR-V | Installed on at least 4 other car models, including Mitsubishi Lancer, Mitsubishi Space Wagon | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Mitsubishi Outlander might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | no | yes | |
| The Mitsubishi Outlander engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
