WHY DO WE LOVE THE BR-V?

August 16, 2021 By Rokkit Digital

The BR-V, an acronym for a Bold Runabout Vehicle, was released in 2016 and has been a prominent player in the crossover SUV market since its launch. Exactly what is it about this car that makes it so remarkable?

Additionally, to Honda’s longstanding reputation for producing high-quality, reliable vehicles, the brand has consistently created cars and motorcycles that appeal to a variety of socioeconomic groups and age groups. BR-V is a favourite among Honda enthusiasts seeking to combine comfort and practicality with mechanically sound engineering.

The vehicle’s tough exterior is enhanced by high ground clearance and 16-inch tyres. A notable feature of the compact utility vehicle is its spacious storage compartments, making it a great daily driver that is more than happy to tackle trips with the family. A potential buyer can pick from three variants that make the BR-V an even more attractive choice.

With the exception of the Elegance and Comfort variants, all three are equipped with a 1.5-litre engine, the latter two having the option of a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). You’ll be delighted to hear that CMH Honda Umhlanga is currently offering a CASHBACK offer of up to R30,000 to customers who purchase this highly reliable and multipurpose vehicle.

This month is Women’s Month, so make sure you call us to take advantage of your opportunity to receive up to R5,000 in Gateway shopping vouchers to those women who purchase a Honda BR-V this month. Ts & Cs apply, of course. Now is the time to call 0877215304.

Why trading in your car with a dealer might be a better option than selling it privately

August 13, 2021 By Rokkit Digital

Saying goodbye to your golden oldie can sometimes be bittersweet when purchasing a brand-new vehicle or even a pre-loved one. The current world provides many ways to sell your vehicle privately, but there are many great reasons why you should rather trade in your vehicle with us. Here are the reasons why:

It saves you time, stress, and hassles

It is a time-consuming and complex process to sell your car privately, which includes preparing your car for sale, taking appealing photos, uploading them on different platforms, and writing detailed descriptions of your car. There is still the matter of contacting potential buyers, arranging a meeting or viewing at your home or at a mutually agreed upon location, because after all that you still must go through countless inquiries. To make sure your car is attractive to buyers, you need to keep it in mint condition throughout that time. This can all be stressful and time-consuming.

It is convenient

If you are buying a new or used vehicle at CMH Honda The Glen, trading in your vehicle is as simple as driving in, getting a vehicle evaluation, and getting a trade-in price. Once you are happy with the price, you drive away in your new vehicle. Financial and administrative matters will be handled by the Sales Executive and Finance & Insurance Manager. Remember that we accept a broad range of makes and models when you are trading in your vehicle.

Getting payment for your vehicle

Privately selling a vehicle means you must keep negotiating the price and working out payment arrangements. You might have to go to the bank and wait for the funds to appear in your account. Using the money from the sale of your vehicle as a deposit to secure a new vehicle could become complicated, and you could lose out on a deal. When you trade-in with us, you can get a deposit or cashback or trade-in assistance on your deal, making the financial transaction easier.

Make your vehicle appealing

Keeping your vehicle clean, inside, and out, makes it more appealing. When we look at a clean vehicle, we imagine it is already on our sales floor, waiting to be sold. With our experienced professionals here at CMH Honda The Glen, we can identify the value of your vehicle without a lot of fuss.

Build a relationship

Respecting others pays off in every aspect of life. Though our aim is to sell you a vehicle, we are also responsible for helping you and achieving the best possible outcome for both you and ourselves. As we are guided by customer service evaluations, we commit to giving you the best service possible.

Be realistic

When it comes to your trade-in, it is important to be realistic about the value you could obtain. While doing your research on your vehicle online, keep in mind that the dealer is reselling the vehicle at retail price, not the trade-in value you would get if you traded it in.

Are you looking at buying a new or pre-loved vehicle soon? Have a look at our current specials and offers exclusively at CMH Honda the Glen.

The importance of roadworthy tyres.

July 22, 2021 By Rokkit Digital

Tyres are often the most neglected on our cars, and we should take better care of them, our lives depend on them.

What does the tread do?

On perfectly dry roads, tread reduces a car’s performance because it has the effect of reducing the contact patch area, and the forces that can be transmitted through the contact patch are correspondingly reduced.

On a wet road, the tread is very important, the tread is designed to disperse water from the contact patch, thereby helping the tyre grip the road.

Without tread the tyre’s ability to grip a wet road is severely limited, making it almost impossible to stop, turn, accelerate, and corner.

Excessive tyre wear could place you in danger, Check out these simple pointers for more information on tyre wear:

Shallow tread grooves make it harder to control the vehicle in wet weather and the chance of aquaplaning increases.
The legal limit for a tyre tread grove should not be below 1mm across the tread surface at any point.
To ensure your safety, measure the tread depth as part of your regular vehicle maintenance. Tread is the rubber on the tyre that touches the road surface.
Most tyres have a treadwear indicator built into the tyre tread pattern. What this means is that tread wear indicators are spaced evenly through the main grooves in the tyre tread. If they are flushed with the level of the tread, then the tyre must be replaced.
To ensure that you are driving on roadworthy tyres, get your tyre measured at a tyre dealer. They will measure the tread wear using a tread depth vernier.
Treadwear patterns generally indicate signs of suspension setup. A well-balanced setup will allow for even tyre wear. Also, note that a misaligned suspension will cause irregular wear on the tread surface and reduce tyre life.

What to watch out for (tyre damage):

While measuring the tread, look for cupping, or scalloping. These are small scoops, or divots, carved from the tread. They can indicate misalignment or other problems with your vehicle. Take your car to a service centre immediately.
Watch out for bulges in the tyre tread or sidewall and this indicates that they are not safe.
Make sure your tyres are the correct pressure. The recommended inflation pressure is shown on a placard attached to the body – usually on the driver’s door pillar – and in the owner’s manual. Tyres need to be checked regularly, at least once every two weeks.
They should also be checked before you go on a long journey, or before towing, when they might need to be set higher.
Remember to also check the spare.
Rotating your tyres can also help to get the most out of them.
Also do a wheel alignment and balancing of your tyres.

When should I replace the spare?

The spare is almost always forgotten, left to sit in the dark in the boot of our car until needed in an emergency.
Spare tyres that are six years or older should only be used in an emergency.
A tyre that is 10 years old should be replaced.

Driving style

To maximise your tyre life avoid spinning the wheels on acceleration or locking them when braking.

Maintaining your car

Keeping your car in tip-top shape can help extend the life of your tyres and regular wheel alignment checks are a good idea.

Honda’s ECON Mode and ECO Assist

May 27, 2021 By Rokkit Digital

Honda ECON Mode and ECO Assist System Will Help You Save Fuel.

How Does the Honda ECON Mode Button Work?

Are you looking for a Honda car or crossover that will save you money at the fuel pump? If efficient fuel economy is at the top of your automotive wish list, Honda will tick all the boxes. To help promote efficient fuel economy, many models in the Honda line up provide drivers with an ECO Assist™ System and a driver-selectable ECON Mode. Many drivers who are new to the Honda brand want to know – how does the Honda ECON Mode button work? Well, we are here to explain just that at CMH Honda Pinetown!

How Does the Honda ECO Assist™ System Work?

Many Honda models come standard with an ECO Assist™ System? This system is put in place to provide you with visual indicators on how your driving patterns will impact fuel economy. When you are driving in a way that improves fuel economy, the ambient meter on the driver information display will turn Green. Light Green indicates moderate acceleration and deceleration. White indicates increased acceleration and deceleration that could have a negative impact on fuel economy.

What is ECON Mode and How Does it Improve Fuel Economy?

ECON Mode is an additional feature in many Honda models that will help you maximize efficiency. Located either on the right-hand side of the steering wheel next to the starter or the centre console, the ECON Mode button will adjust various performance elements of your vehicle to prioritize fuel economy. When ECON Mode is activated, ECON ON will appear on your driver information display. Here is how ECON Mode will maximize fuel economy.

Throttle Response – ECON Mode will adjust throttle response at higher speeds to limit acceleration and improve your fuel economy. By altering your mid-range throttle response, Econ mode reduces the amount of fuel you will consume while accelerating. Since your low-end and high-end throttle responses are not affected, you will only notice the difference on the highway, and that makes Econ mode ideal for city driving.

Transmission Shift Points – To further maximize fuel economy, ECON Mode will adjust transmission shift points to shift at lower RPMs and prioritize fuel consumption over performance.

Cruise Control – When you switch to ECON Mode with cruise control on, expect your Honda to downshift less frequently to improve your L/100 km rating. While in cruise control, most vehicles will shift up or down the moment they identify a change in speed. When you activate Econ mode, your vehicle will shift as little as possible, avoiding costly downshifts even when you are moving uphill. On flat roads, you will hardly notice a difference.

Climate Control – When in ECON Mode, your Honda will adjust climate controls and air compressor settings to operate more efficiently and prioritize fuel economy. Econ mode limits the activity of your air conditioner such that it starts and stops more frequently. This will save you plenty of money, but on the hottest, most humid days, this feature will cause your Honda’s cabin to stay warmer longer.
