Remarks |
— | |||
1. FF stands for “front-engine/front-wheel drive”
2. Complies with long-term CO2 emission standards for passenger vehicles and light-duty vehicles
3.

: Low emission vehicle with an emissions level 50% lower than the 2005 exhaust emissions standards



: Low emission vehicle with an emissions level 75% lower than the 2005 exhaust emissions standards
4. Eco driving support devices, including real-time fuel economy meters, average fuel economy meters, and eco lamps
5. Lead batteries are excluded from the reduction target because a separate recovery and recycling channel has been established for these batteries.
6. Mercury used in very small amounts in parts required to ensure traffic safety, such as liquid-crystal displays for navigation systems, combination meters, discharge headlights, and in-vehicle fluorescent lights, is excluded from the reduction target.
7. Based on Honda’s own calculation criteria
Note: Fuel economy values were obtained under predefined testing conditions and may vary in actual driving, depending on the weather, road, driving techniques, and maintenance situations.
