CMH Honda the Glen Fuel Saving

By

Fuel prices seem to get ever more expensive by the day, so finding ways to reduce your fuel consumption has never been more relevant. We at CMH Honda The Glen are all about the customer so we have come up with 5 fuel saving tips that can help you make a difference in your monthly fuel expenditure.

Here are 5 simple fuel saving tips from CMH Honda the Glen:

  1. Make fewer trips

    Did you know that when you drive a car that has been parked for a few hours, the engine is cold and it uses much more fuel for the first five miles or so? Ideally, you’d want to combine all your daily errands into one big trip. Although we know this is probably not possible our suggestion is to make a few big trips rather than a lot of small ones.

  2. Close the windows (and sunroof, if you’ve got one)

    It’s not so much of a problem when you’re driving in town, but when you’re out of town or on the highway and moving more quickly, the shape of your car is very important. Car designers call it aerodynamics and make lots of effort to reduce the ‘drag’ and make the car as sleek as possible. Anything that makes wind noise as your car goes along is actually making your car more expensive to run. You can’t do much about the design of your car, but you can avoid making it worse by not leaving the windows and sunroof open. It’s better to use the air vents for most of the year, and the air-conditioning when it gets too hot.

  3. Accelerate smoothly

    The perfect way to travel is at a constant speed (ideally around 60km), and in the highest gear (five or six). So if you’re a patient driver, you’ll have lower fuel costs – it’s as simple as that. It’s unrealistic to avoid overtaking but there’s little point accelerating past a car to simply be in front of them at the next set of lights – any instant gratification will appear on your fuel slip the next time you fill up.

  4. Don’t push the accelerator down too far

    This one always surprises people. It’s not just to do with what gear you’re in. You may be in a high gear and travelling at a sensible speed, but if you’re pushing the accelerator down a long way to avoid changing into a lower gear (into third from fourth, for example), then you’re actually using more fuel not less. Obviously, if your car has an automatic gearbox (you’ll know if it does), then it will probably do a better job than you of choosing which gear to be in, so it’s not a problem.

  5. Check your tyre pressures regularly

    The lower the tyre pressure, the more fuel the car needs to move it down the road. We recommend that you take five minutes every fortnight to check the tyres. If you’re not sure what the pressure should be, you can come into the dealership and we can help you with the tyre pressure. Show you exactly where it should be and how to keep your tyres in a good condition.

With the ever-increasing fuel prices, we hope our input assists in saving money and fuel

The Benefits of Using Honda Genuine Motor Oil

Honda engines are meticulously designed machines engineered to run through gruelling parameters and high tolerance levels. Not only do Honda engineers design parts and systems to meet extremely precise standards for performance and reliability, the chemical composition of fluids is carefully devised to cool Honda engines.

Motor oil is not necessarily created equal therefore it is important to keep your Honda engine topped up with specifically engineered original equipment manufacturer (OEM) Honda motor oil. Buying an off-the-shelf third-party motor oil may mean your Honda engine is not living up to its full potential.

Genuine Honda Engine Oils are premium quality oils tested by Honda R&D. They conform to international specifications of JASO (Japanese Automobile Standard Organization) MA & MB.

Honda genuine oils have the following benefits:

  • Ensures maximum engine performance and protection.
  • Increases fuel efficiency.
  • Lowers emissions output.
  • Protects the engine under extreme operating conditions.
  • Meets Honda’s demanding specifications.
  • Specified as the only oil for our newer, advanced engine designs.
  • Helps prevent the formation of sludge and deposits.

Oil is the lifeblood of your engine. That’s why Honda takes countless steps to blend and test Genuine Motor Oils for maximum performance in each vehicle. Using the Honda Genuine Motor Oil is intended for your specific model meaning you will receive the maximum fuel economy and engine performance — something after-market motor oils simply can’t provide.

For any car, not just a Honda, the genuine filter is usually the best choice. The engine was designed tested and manufactured with a genuine filter.

All new HR-V. The most stylish yet.

By

CMH Honda- Honda HR-V Front

September 2018 saw the introduction of the all new HR-V to the South African market. The popular HR-V, introduced locally in 2015, has undergone a significant upgrade programme – featuring all new front and rear styling, enhanced interior and upgraded equipment levels. What sets the HR-V apart is the combination of its sleek, coupé-like design with the robust attitude of an SUV with the space and versatility of an MPV. Honda has retained exceptional space utilisation with their Magic Seat system, but features model-specific upgrades to upholstery, fabric and finishes – the infotainment system has also been standardised across the range.

DESIGN

The front-end has undergone several significant updates like an all new front bumper, reprofiled bonnet and redesigned headlights, whilst the silhouette remains unmistakably HR-V. The more aggressive front bumper design includes a new license plate garnish, as well as recessed apertures for LED fog lights (standard on the 1.8 Elegance model). The new headlights feature LED elements and LED daytime running lights on the elegance version, while the Comfort derivative headlights make use of projector-type halogen units. The rear has also undergone some changes. The taillight clusters has gained a smoked appearance and redesigned license plate garnish to match the front’s more aggressive styling approach. The popular 16-inch alloy wheels were retained on the Comfort model, while the Elegance models are fitted with contemporary 17-inch wheels, in line with its flagship status. Two new colours have been added to the HR-V’s colour palette in order to underline its youthful appeal: Passion Red and Brilliant Sporty Blue.

INTERIOR

Building on the cabin’s exceptional space and versatility, the updated package further emphasises the crossover’s premium feel, thanks to upgraded finishes and materials. New fabric designs have been incorporated in the Comfort model, while the Elegance gets smarter perforated leather upholstery with double-contrast stitching. Honda’s magic Seat system has also been retained in this upgrade, thanks to the HR-V’s centrally located fuel tank that allows for a flat rear cabin floor, allowing for an almost infinite variety of seating and load carrying configurations – ensuring an unrivalled level of versatility in this segment. An aspect that is perhaps less obvious – the noise and vibration dampening has been upgraded, further enhancing the HR-V’s already impressive refinement levels.

STANDARD FEATURES

The HR-V has become popular for being comprehensively equipped with an array of comfort and convenience features, so it should come as no surprise that the all new HR-V delivers in this aspect. Standard features on all models include electric windows and mirrors, remote central locking, air-conditioning, cruise control, a multi-function steering wheel and a multi-information trip computer.

Honda has standardised the touchscreen based infotainment system as part of the upgrade, which means that both the Comfort and Elegance now feature a 6.8-inch touchscreen display, instead of the 5-inch previously fitted to the Comfort models. This sophisticated infotainment system has an extensive feature list which includes Bluetooth hands free telephony with audio streaming, USB and HDMI ports, and smart device screen mirroring for access to device-specific functions such as video and photo files, as well as GPS navigation. Reverse parking is a breeze with a reverse camera linked to rear parking sensors on the Elegance model. The remainder of the comprehensive standard equipment remains unchanged.

FULL HOUSE SAFETY

Safety remains a pivotal benefit of the Honda HR-V via complete suite of active and passive safety features. Front, side and curtain airbags are standard, together with head restraints and inertia reel seatbelts for all seating positions. In active safety terms, the HR-V offers ABS anti-lock brakes with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD), Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) and Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) activation. Further peace of mind is provided by Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), Hill Start Assist (HSA) and a high-mounted, third brake light. ISOFIX child seat anchors are also included.

DRIVETRAINS

The 1.5 Comfort CVT is powered by Honda’s well-established 1 497cc four-cylinder engine, featuring i-VTEC variable valve timing and electronic fuel injection. The engine is credited with 88kW of maximum power, attained at 6 600 r/min, together with a torque peak of 145 Nm at 4 600 r/min. The 1.8 Elegance CVT employs a 1 799 cc four-cylinder engine, again featuring i-VTEC variable valve timing and electronic fuel injection. Power and torque maximums come to 105 kW at 6 500 r/min and 172 Nm at 4 300 r/min respectively. The 1.5 Comfort boasts a combined-cycle fuel consumption figure of 6.3 litres/100 km*, linked to CO2 emissions of 151 g/km. The 1.8 Elegance model achieves 6.8 litres/100 km* in the combined cycle, coupled to 162 g/km of CO2 emissions.

CMH Honda Menlyn Wings April 2018 Farm Jam

By

Honda Menlyn Wings Proudly took part in this Enduro off road race which has been going strong for almost 10 years and is growing year on year. Honda Menlyn was involved from day one and offers their off road customers the opportunity to get involved in a fun day to compete against other amateur riders.

Entries came in that morning from as far as Bloemfontein and entrants queued from 07h00 at the registration office to ensure their place in their respective classes. The atmosphere was very much relaxed, background music was playing and you could smell the aroma of fresh coffee and sosaties coming from the clubhouse. Soon the pit area was filled with bakkies and trailers and riders warming up their engines.

Riders briefing started at 08h30 for the quad entries to inform the riders of the rules and safety procedures. This race consisted of junior, ladies, novice, master, and pro class riders. All riders had to stop at the three marshal points for a mark on their helmets to ensure everybody stays on the route. As the first quads came through the main control point one could clearly see why this event is called “Farm Jam “. Riders covered in mud stopped in their pits to refuel and also get the mud wiped off their goggles. Once the first rider finishes his 5th lap (approximately 30 km per lap), the race is finished and the recovery of all the “breakdowns” begins.

The main event is the two wheeler race which required all the riders to gather at the clubhouse for an information session. Entrants in this race consists of up to 180 riders and safety is a huge priority. Apart from classes from junior to pro class (10 classes) is the “adventure” class now also added to this race. This class accommodate the Honda Africa Twin, BMW GS and KTM Adventure riders. This race also consists of 5 laps of 30km and time keeping is done for each class. The start grid in this race draws a huge amount of spectators. As the classes are set off with a 2 minute gap between them, the 150km route is quickly filled with roaring engines and soon the first few riders are expected to pass through the main control point. Paramedics and a mobile clinic was available on the premises. Friends, family and supporters screaming and shouting as the first riders finished the race.

We are looking forward to the next event and would love to see you there.

Contact us on the email leadmaster74@cmh.co.za / Call 087 723 9014 or pay us a visit, we are situated at CNR January Masilela Drive and Garsfontein Road, Menlyn 08h00 – 17h00 Monday to Friday , or Saturdays from 09.00 – 13h00.
