Honda HR-V 1.8L K&N Air Filter is an Easy Upgrade Decision

Honda HR-V 1.8L models can be easily upgraded with enhanced performance and lower maintenance for several years with a reusable K&N replacement air filter.

In a stark contrast to the SUV marketplace of the early 2000’s, automakers are now developing smaller, lighter, and more efficient crossover utility vehicles (CUV) in an effort to improve fuel mileage. The Honda Motor Co., Ltd, a company already known for building fuel efficient vehicles, has released the Honda HR-V 1.8L as its smallest North American market CUV offering. The 2016 HR-V shares the same platform as the third-generation Honda Fit. The release of the HR-V allows the Honda Motor Co., Ltd to offer three size choices in CUV models; starting with the HR-V, the Civic-based CR-V, and finally the Accord-based Honda Pilot.

The Honda HR-V shares its 1.8L R18A1 inline-four cylinder engine with the 2006+ JDM & North American market Honda Civic. While 1.8L R18A1 SOHC VTEC engine provides reasonable performance, considering it is tuned to maximize miles per gallon, a K&N high-flow replacement air filter could help with better throttle response and quicker acceleration. A K&N high-flow replacement air filter is different from the factory or standard replacement air filter in that K&N uses cotton gauze filter media woven to exacting specifications. Cotton, by nature, is more breathable than the paper or sometimes foam media used in most automotive air filters.

The ability to get more air into an engine with less energy wasted on drawing in air allows an engine to work more efficiently and can result in improved performance, quicker acceleration, and better throttle response. Additionally, K&N’s in-house air filter filtration efficiency testing, following the ISO 5011 protocol, ensures that K&N replacement air filters provide increased airflow without sacrificing engine protection. Following this internationally recognized testing protocol, K&N replacement air filter was shown to provide a 98.70% overall filtration efficiency rating.

Besides enhanced performance, a K&N replacement air filter offers years of reusability. The cotton air filter media and sturdy construction of K&N replacement air filters allow them to be washed and reused time and again. The high-flow nature and pleated design of a K&N replacement air filter allows them to go up to 50,000 mile before cleaning is needed, depending on driving conditions. This means the average owner could go about 4 years before the air filter needs attention. When it’s time, K&N air filter cleaning can be easily performed using a readily available K&N Recharger air filter service kit.

Most K&N replacement air filters are designed to install just like the factory air filter and without any need for modifications or fuel management changes. Plus K&N air filters are backed by a 10-year/million mile limited warranty and will pay for themselves over time. K&N replacement air filter, is designed to fit the following Honda HR-V models:
