- This is the FIRST EVER Honda CR-V Hybrid! It took Honda a while but it’s finally here! However, with the Toyota RAV4 hybrid solidifying its spot as the compact crossover SUV leader, did Honda come too late, or is the CR-V Hybrid good enough to reel Toyota back in? Let’s find out!

Just Purchased a CRV HYBRID TOURING 2020 ! 😊
Recording road noise with both cars on the same road is some next level reviewing, well done!
Yeah great job done here. I've always been looking for it and I'm really amazed to find it in their video.
OK BIG BOOIIII! Embargo lifts and you drop an excellent review like the other boys! We stan.
Man that was a really good review. I wasn't even shopping a CRV until you said something about road noise/cabin noise! Thanks for the insight!
Excellent review. You have coverd many areas that have been simply ignored by other rTH-cam channels.for this car model .
The sand test and sound comparison was brilliant. Sold the car to me :) thank you
Stunning color, and an even more stunning review! Keep it up, Forrest!
Also, agreed. The subtle design cues added for this year (and the Hybrid model) makes the CRV look for premium and attractive in my eyes. Stay well, man! :)
I always fall sleep watching his videos. Not a bad thing it’s just it’s so calming and satisfying to watch
Haha! Thanks?
Wow great review. I loved the sound comparison, one of the best reviewers I have seen on youtube yet!
Love the detail you put in to your videos Forest! I hate that you dont get more views!! Sidenote: your hair looks great!
Thank You Sir for taking the time to do this EXCELLENT VIDEO, GREAT JOB, very educational Honda should hire You to explain all their features on their CRVs! Once again many thanks and most of all PLEASE stay healthy and safe out there!
Love that color. Great review dude!
Excellent review, Forrest. In the market for the CRV, thus why I looked. You've got a new subscriber.
I have the 2020 Hybrid. The one thing Toyota has over the Honda is they have been building hybrid for years I have had two Prius’s and now I am have a 2020 Rav 4 hybrid gas mileage has been averaging 40 or better all of the hybrid I owned have been bulletproof. The last Prius I had 180000 miles 1 wheel baring and one set of brakes and rotors. Good review.
Honda has been selling hybrids in North America longer than Toyota has. True, they have used at least three different concepts, and the first didn't perform as well in most versions. But this one has been used since 2014 (Accord PHEV) with no systemic issues, and (imo) is superior in almost every way to Toyota's.
For a direct comparison, the Insight has a smaller version of the iMMD system used in the CR-V. It gets the same EPA 52 mpgs as the Prius, and more (54 to 52 mpg) in Consumer Reports tests. It has much larger passenger space (98 to 91 ft^3) and, also from Consumer Reports, carries more luggage. Both can carry four suitcases, but the Insight carries three large and one small, while the Prius only manages 2+2. (The Prius's vaunted cargo space is vaulted; that is, only meaningful if you need vertical space.)
And the Insight does this while getting to 60 mpg over 1.5 seconds faster (8.7 to 10.3), and 45 to 65 mph over a second faster (5.3 to 6.5).
Took delivery of crv hybrid ex model 1 day before auto dealer was shut down because of COVID-19. Love the car so far but have only driven it 250 miles so far.
What a nice review, I love that you speak in terms that I understand. When I realized you were on Speedway, I laughed, as the rain threw me off a bit! It doesn't rain much here, you know? I never thought I'd find a hybrid interesting, but I am thinking of replacing my car and will definitely add the CRV hybrid to my list. Thanks again for the great video!
Richard Shelton Hello Richard! I really enjoyed spending time in your area! I hooe the rain was a relief for y’all & thanks for taking time to watch! The CR-V Hybrid was very impressive and definitely worth a look!
I can say that Hondas handle better in snow than the Toyotas. I owned a Corolla for 6 years and it slide off the road 3 times doing a 180... where my Honda Element, always a steady drive and it can handle a pothole! I've been in my Element for 14 years with 202k miles and going strong!
Great review. Subbed. I have a 2019 Touring. Good every day vehicle. Great on gas, reliable, comfortable.
U.K. viewer. Good assessment and video!
Oh my goodness I love this mans hair, hair and car love them both :)
That infotainment is garbage - damn them for not putting the new Accord one in :( - nice execution for the car though!
Riyad Kalla But, the rav4 infotainment is also garbage...
I'm hoping they change that for 2021
His hair is glorious, makes me jealous cause I have the same texture 😏.. I love this car
Great review man
Hair is poppin. I don’t know if I want the car or your hair care routine 🤔
Great review!
Thanks! The best comparison video out there between the CRV and RAV4 hybrids. Very detailed yet practical...
Great Review, the only down side is that the 2022 model is nothing more than a carry-over from 2021. So, why not just get the 2021 model save some $ or simply wait for the 2023 model & hopefully Honda has made some significant upgrades(like a panoramic sunroof, power folding side mirrors, updated infotainment)🤷♂️
I know exactly what you mean when you say the gas pedal felt grainy THANK YOU!
Nice review . Thank you .
Good for you. Everyone tested same red press vehicule, while you got this one that looks much better.
Great description on the "feel" of both cars. Now I understand that the crv is more refine and a better package. Please review the upcoming Toyota venza hybrid when it arrives with the crv.
The Toyota has a pretty decent driving feel to it. It is also louder, IMO engine wise. I like to hear it, but I can appreciate less road noise from the CR-V. Some trims of the RAV have a super cool digital rear view camera, that I personally fell in love with. The most important difference is that the Yota is currently suffering from the gas tank issue, which, as much as I like it, was an automatic dis-qualifier for me. They don't have a solid fix and no ETA. For that much money? No way.
Is the interior black? Or it just looks darker gray from the camera? Thank you!
I noticed the rear seat dosent come close to supporting your legs. Something that annoyed me about older CVRs and Honda still hasn't fixed this. Makes me wonder how comfortable the driver's seat is.
Wow, love the blue and the factory tinted taillights. My mom has a 2017 CRV EX, I drive it every few months and know a lot about it. You pointed out the Pros/Cons of it VERY well! I'd buy an EX-L 1.5T if I had to get one.
Love how your wife's always with you in a lot of press cars. Does she do some filming as well? God bless you guys such a beautiful couple!
A K Yes she does! It’s a great way for us to spend time together while working! I appreciate you watching! 😃
We own both rav4 hybrid and crv hybrid and I gotta say I have to go with the CRV for comfort and ride and noise reduction also Just An FYI for people out there the CRV HYBRID back seats do recline about a good 4 inches
No dig to the other reviewers, but your review was the one I like the most with the comparisons of the CR-V Hybrid, RAV4 hybrid and the Gas only CR-V. Honestly I couldn’t tell which one had more noise between the two hybrids.
Marcus Avilla Thank you! Each reviewer has their own unique angle & style so I’m glad you found this one enjoyable!
Honda CR-V hybrid looks good. The problem is if you have flat tire. There no spare tire.
Are you going to review the new gen CRV Hybrid?
Great job...thanks.
Thing is you don't have to plug it in plus over 80 more ponies too
Like your review but it's been widely reported the hybrid version lost 6 cubic feet due to the transition between gas and hybrid.
Those cubic feet are under the floor. From the floor up to the roof the luggage space is identical in hybrid and petrol version.
Awesome!
Is the crv hybrid in US made in US or imported?
Awesome review. Definitely stands out from others. Good work bro.
Veer A Thank you! Wish the Algorithm would see that 😔
@@forrestsautoreviewsofficial Seriously Awesome review. Seen all of them, you did great in comparing and articulating. Appreciate your effort.
No spare tire???
I don't get, what's so awkward with that paddels.
Every automatic transmission features the same logic, plus for less engine braking, minus for more engine braking.
F Webe I guess the difference is that you aren’t using the paddles in a full gas car to engine brake. You use them to up shift and down shift so the logic of having the plus paddle for “up shifting” and a minus paddle for “down shifting” makes more sense than using them to engine brake.
are these reliable thou
How much pls
I used to Love CRV but when I found hybrid doesn't have a spare tire . For me noooooo
Sorry No spare tire on sale
Fake wood is the thing I dislike the most about this vehicle.
I rather the Honda
Real world MPG will be 34. Rav 4 real world mpg is 38. Rav4 for me. they have so much more experience with hybrids.
Technically Honda made their first hybrid in 1999 with the Insight. Toyota made theirs in 1997 with the Prius. 2 years difference isn't enough for Toyota to be that far ahead in terms of experience. Both are pretty solid but the Honda's system did feel more fluid in its delivery. Thanks for watching!
@@forrestsautoreviewsofficial fair enough but try measuring using the total number of hybrid vehicles sold since inception. toyota destroys honda. its not even close. Well over 12 million as of 2019.
@@mobgma I do agree that they have more experience building vehicles but making the same model over & over & over hardly counts as experience when it comes to hybrid technology. I do believe that the Toyota is a hair more reliable but Honda has had just as good a track history. It was actually better than Toyota whenever they had their V-Tech engines. Now that those are gone I'd say Toyota is back in the lead. I do understand your argument though! I honestly think they are both excellent choices!
@@forrestsautoreviewsofficial Actually when you sell countless more vehicles it does equate to more experience. More money is used to hire staff/engineers and more money is pumped into the R&D of hybrid because of the sales numbers. The rav4 was designed from the ground up as a hybrid. This CRV is just the old CRV that they slapped batteries in resulting in no spare tire and less cargo space in the back. Rav4 has a full size spare tire. crv does not. Optional 360 cameras. Cooled seats. Pano roof option. Rav4 = faster 0-60. Rav4 hybrid can tow 3500 lbs, CRV cannot. Rav4 = winner. That is why the Rav4 is pricier because it has items the CRV does not. I will give it to the CRV for 1 thing though, they at least have passenger side power seats and the rav4 does not.
The Rav4 is is by far and away the better hybrid overall. However the Rav4 hybrid has one problem lingering right now on the current hybrids and that is on some units, you cannot fill the gas tank up all the way.
@xfistsclenchedx The Honda CRV-Hybrid is not designed for towing, doing so will void the warranty.
Big hair don't care. Lol!
The Dashboard looks cheap af.
I could be nicer. I will admit though, it looks and feels better in person than it does on video or in pictures. Video and pictures can't capture the gleam coming off the metals and the thick texture of the leather used in this vehicle.
@@forrestsautoreviewsofficial Yeah, the mix of wood and leather interior looks decent. It's just that I prefer traditional meter pointers.
No, the RAV4 is better
Crv Hybrid has been around for a year in europe and rav hybrid start in summer of last year. When crv hybrid goes on sale rave prime will be out a couple months after but close to 90 more ponies and the same mpg
Crv hybrid started in 2018 but still falls behind rav. All in all you sound like a crv hybrid fan boy
Praise doesn’t equal being a fanboy. If I had Honda posters in my room or a tattoo on my chest, then I’d be a fanboy. I just recognize quality when I see it. Especially when compared right next to a RAV4 Hybrid. I stick by my words that the CR-V hybrid is better quality in every way. Once the RAV4 Prime comes out, that car will be a different league but it’s not on sale yet doesn’t compete directly with this car since it requires a plug and this doesn’t. Thanks for watching though! 👊
Lol, fanboy? Please. He is speaking the truth. Honda quality is far better than Toyota's and you get more value for your money.
@@terriw919fyi had both and guess what! Both made in Canada! Also honda uses water based paint but toyota uses oil base, it holds up better check out a civic or accord you see the oxidation on those cars more then Toyota's, fanboy of best bang for the buck look at specs better milage on rav and the plugin rav4 prime
Color is barfable...
