Hey everyone! Just wanted to clarify, the 2020 CR-V Hybrid is the very first “Honda” hybrid SUV in the US. The MDX Hybrid came out a few years ago, but that’s an “Acura” 🤭😉
Seriously don't understand why city dwellers buy Jeeps. Does anyone need ride height and off road capabilities to drive their kids to school? And all the vehicles rank near the bottom of reliability in their classes.
PattyMayonnaise : most Jeep purchases are an attempt to fill the empty void in people’s lives who wish they had an active-outdoorsy lifestyle, but in reality are bogged down with an office job and day-to-day drudgery.
Jeeps look cool af, but the mpg prevent me from buying one. Just not practical for a daily driver. If Suzuki imported the new Jimny I'd be all over that. SUV's like this have much more practical application for day to day use, only problem I have with them is they look like complete trash. I absolutely HATE the feminine rounded corners wanna-be sports car soccer-mom-denial look.
You don’t seem to understand how the car works. There is no CVT. under highway speeds the engine is running as a generator for the electric motor. It’s not directly connected to a gearbox. There is NO gearbox. At a set speed a direct drive clutch connects the engine to the wheels. There is just one very high gear ratio, no gearbox. Basically it’s the same connection the Outlander PHEV would use. The difference there is that the Mitsubishi engine feeds the battery to power the Ev motors until it reaches higher speeds. Again, all that happens then is that the engine connects directly to the front wheels, there being no physical connection to the rear. However, there is always power for the rear motor as it’s the main drive motor.
One thing to mention and the 2010 CR-V that I had came with 2 seat pockets and was an EX version. A shame that the current model only has one even for the top touring trim.
The best ruval to the CR-V is the Rav4. The Ford Escape can't match the reliability, durability and resale value if Honda and Toyota have. I had Ford vehicles and they're very good in dropping the value like crazy.
Jack Liu Honda does a redesign every 5 years so an entirely new crv will come out in 2022. They do a mid-generation refresh...which we see with the 2020.
DEFINITELY WAIT FOR THE 2021 HYBRID!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i got a 2020 hybrid, i have to say there are definitely some things that arent great about it. -MPG is so far less than the estimated no matter how conservative i drive. -headlights aren't adaptive, that's something that shouldnt be so hard to comeby in 2020 -the horn sounds so feeble -the locked door sound is a baby beep vs the sound of the horn which doesn't help you find it in a lot -fairly impossible to find a ex-l and up that doesn't have that horrendous wood trim -the middle back seatbelt shoots down from the roof making an annoying bump - the steering wheel comes at the driver from the ground up which takes away a lot of leg room capability - leg room all together isn't that great for the driver which is weird because of how big the crv is Bright side: it's not a Toyota but i will say, all these things are present in the Mazda CX-5 though it doesn't come in a hybrid YET. I will also add that the 2014 CX-5 was the best rendition of the CX-5 with the best mpg in its class (even better than today's models) at the time they won by being sporty yet luxurious, and won over its class. These days it seems like the CX-5 is trying to compete in looks with the higher end luxury models (lexus etc) and is falling short, they need to get back to their roots.
Everyone is noting how loud engine is. It sounds kinda, droney, but sound comes and goes in a pretty smooth sound wave. It is no different that the Rav4 Hybrid when you floor it, or any hybrid ever produced for that matter. The whole thing with hybrids are that you don't floor them to get the good gas mileage, that is a known fact. Flooring it defeats the purpose of having a hybrid as you are pretty much using all gas engine at those times. Interior of this is WAY nicer than the Rav in my opinion, especially with the real leather instead of that fake crud Toyota is using. Technology seems a little more solid that the Rav4 system even if efficiency not quite equal.
You guys are all hilarious with your little tiffs. If I had lots of money I'd own BOTH of these hybrids. They both look great in different ways and are made for some different uses. The CR-V is probably better off road with its true AWD. The Rav4 is sportier (faster) and can pull a small trailer. But if I could only buy one it would probably be the Rav4 but it's a very close call & being able to tow a small trailer just edged it slightly ahead for me.
If you're going to pull up to another gas only CR-V at the stop light and you both decide to drag race, keep in mind, you might lose the 0-60 race with the CR-V Hybrid
Why do so many SUV & SUV hybrid reviews gloss over or completely dismiss the "working capacity" of these vehicles? There are many light truck owners who would strongly consider downsizing to a SUV if the SUV has even a modicum of work capacity such as 1,500 lb. towing capacity. It was his quick mention that this Honda CRV-Hybrid has zero towing capacity & has a reduced cargo capacity that stopped me in my tracks. It's either a Subaru Outback, gas-powered CRV (which tows about 1,500 lbs.), a competing SUV with towing capacity or another light pickup truck for me.
I cringed every time Sofyan says “CVT”. There is no CVT, no “gearbox”, no transmission in Honda’s hybrid system. Unlike Toyota and every other “hybrid” which is just a four cylinder with CVT and an electric motor slapped somewhere, the Honda system uses two electric motors, with one of those motors coupled directly to the engine to serve as a generator when the gas engine is running. The wheels are powered 100% by the other electric motor, which pulls power from either the batteries or directly from the energy being generated by the gas engine from the generator motor. Once at 45 mph or higher, there is a clutch that will directly couple the gas engines drive shaft to the wheels, where all the gas engine power is directly giving drive and acceleration and the two electric motors are used to assist and generate power to charge the batteries. Once the speed of the car falls below a certain point, the engine is decoupled from the driveshaft to the wheels because the RPM would be too low for the engine to idle, such as if you stalled a manual trans car by slowing to a near stop in 5th gear, so at that point the electric motor resumes full control of the car’s acceleration.
It doesn't come with a spare does it? It doesn't even offer space to store a spare (in the event that a sidewall to a tire is punctured on a Sunday afternoon far from home) does it? What is the plan for that? Why do manufacturers believe that we are all in range of roadside services? Don't ever take this vehicle off-road because roadside service will probably not be able to reach you.
They help with the regeneration of the batteries when you apply them when slowing down. The paddle on the left side of the steering wheel is to increase the regeneration and on the right side the paddle decreases the regeneration. I know in the video Sofyan said the reverse of what I'm saying but I drive a 2019 Honda Insight hybrid which has the very same paddle shifts & I've now had 20 months of experience with it. My infotainment system believe it or not has the more updated version then this 2020 CR-V has which is a shame.
Isn't the hrv hybrid the first Honda hybrid suv, been out since 2013, it's got the dual clutch system shared with Acura hybrids but with a smaller engine
My wife has a 2018 CRV EX-FWD 1.5 turbo and we live in Phoenix she drives half city half interstate about 45miles eachway to work everyday and after 34,600miles she has averaged on paper 38.4MPG and on cars computer 37.9mpg and she drives four people in a carpool 2 weeks a month. Not sure if the hybrid is that much better for the money or the problems down the road?
@@ericdolby1622 very ignorant but thats okay, let me inform you then. hundreds of thousands of people haul small tent trailers. small fishing boats etc etc with mid size SUVs (tow rating of 3500-5000 lbs). towing is not just for trucks lol.
I bought this car in August 2020. The gas mileage is nowhere near 40 miles per gallon. I am extremely disappointed. Do your homework before you buy this car. Mileage is the main reason to get a hybrid in the first place and that's far this car is not delivering.
Agree, my only suggestion would be to cut down on the camera panning, it's too much and makes it very hard to see and focus on the details of the dashboard, door panels, digital instruments, etc.
At least the bezel is integrated under the same panel of glass for a cleaner look, not like those Chevy Bezels with plastic non-button panels sticking out
It looks horrible when my 2018 Accord had an awesome infotainment and great steering wheel, yet to their best selling vehicle they put that crappy Civic steering wheel and that screen from 2015? I think that'll discourage lot of buyers...
I was trying so hard to figure out what the electric drive sound was: *it sounds like a digital church choir* Edit: *church choir with a distant train horn in the back ground*
Honda still doesn't have ventilated/cooled seats. Come on. Also, what a waste of screen. Why do they have 2 inches on each side of non fuctional screen use. Their audio system is just, well crap!
Mechanical AWD is a good idea for a new hybrid SUV. But if Honda really wants to compete against toyota ... they need to 1. Redesign exterior to give it a more rugged look. Its very vanilla flavoured. 2. Bigger infotainment screen. 3. Tuck the battery in nicely and give us back the cargo space. 4. Make it quicker ... reduce 0-60 time. 5. Start offering the optional extras like pano moonroof, 360 camera etc.
I stopped trusting Honda products since 2015. Their engineering quality and customer service have gone down to a disappointing GM level. Mazda/Hyundai/Kia on the hand, are only improving.
He's just reviewer for Toyota Rav4 hybrid not for Honda crv hybrid ,he's make it worse, the backdoor is handless for opening but he's use his hand for opening 🤦🏻♂️😅, i mean he's can opening by feet
I bought this beautiful car 4days ago and I'm enjoying,car sounds like Alien OMG so good so smooth,wow so smart,very economy 😍what a car I mean absolutely best car I ever had maaan.by the way my car is white platinum color,you feel what I'm saying
This might be a better buy than the regular Gas CRV. Considering the 1.5L turbo has the gas dilution issue. Going with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine in this veraion might make this more reliable. The only question that remains, how is this transmission technology going to hold up?
The E-AWD system the Toyota has is better for packaging interior space without a driveshaft intruding you still have space for a spare tire but oddly enough the Honda seems to be the roomier one with more space but no spare tire but a better AWD system.
Sofyan: I love your reviews and watch them all the time. A previous video you posted about the Toyota Highlander convinced me to lease it, and I have not been disappointed. Three years later, I'm in the market again looking for a smaller SUV, either the Honda CR-V or the Mazda CX-5. Greetings from Tucson, Arizona. 🤗
As I said a few times earlier, I would repeat myself again. I am in love with your unique title musics for each video!! Keep up the good work and stay safe guys!
Anyone else getting well over 50mpg in the city during nice weather? I live at 7000ft altitude and we are getting about 55-57mpg in the city, normal driving. If I drive really conservative I can get up to 62mpg. When the AC is on full blast we still get 51mpg in the city.
2021 hybrid owner, bought doughnut spare tire, jack and tool kit in as new condition for $230 from local wrecking yard, $50 in materials (3/16 hardboard and dense foam for legs) and some labor and fabriccated a shelf to sit on top of spare tire strapped down with cargo hooks in cargo area with only 7” of depth lost, spare tire problem solved
digitaldoc100 he mentioned it’s also 200 pounds heavier than the non hybrid versions, so it appears any gains in power is negated by the additional weight.
Does this simulate the gears when you drive it under normal acceleration? Your reviews are always driving it like you stole it lol 😅 I know the gas model simulates gears driving under normal acceleration and is very nice, but your reviews only highlighted it’s engine behavior under full throttle only

Honda/Acura is so far behind they had to find someone to invest in. So GM was the wise choice for AV and EV tech. Honda’s own self-driving development program isn’t close to anything like that. The company said last year that it likely won’t release its first Level 4 self-driving system until 2025. (A “Level 4” system is one that is limited, typically to areas that have been carefully mapped. You can learn more about the “levels” of autonomous-vehicle technology here.) Motley Fool

That's on the gasoline engine only which is a great system but NOT on the Rav4 hybrid (electric motor).
Honda started the CR-V in 1995 and now, 25 years later a hybrid comes, when do you think a full electric model will come?
wow that engine is noisy.
Third? Lol love these new hybrids 😂
Sofyan: I love your reviews and watch them all the time. A previous video you posted about the Toyota Highlander convinced me to lease it, and I have not been disappointed. Three years later, I'm in the market again looking for a smaller SUV, either the Honda CR-V or the Mazda CX-5. Greetings from Tucson, Arizona. 🤗
I prefer the Mitsubishi Outlander Phev
I LOVE the artificial sound. Honda and Audi have the best e-aware sound effect by far.
Going to replace my wife’s 2014 CR-V with this new model.
Just clarifying AGAIN, the RAV4 Hybrid doesn't lose AWD ever, the battery charges continuously as soon as its charge reaches 2 bars.
Dennis Xu ok we get it your a Toyota fanboy lol

Haha, using insults and allowing false information to spread. You're a real class act.
Dennis Xu cmon it’s pretty obvious
@@f181234
Whatever makes you feel better about yourself.
Dennis Xu look at the comments you defend Toyota so much lol hows calling someone a fanboy an insult
As I said a few times earlier, I would repeat myself again. I am in love with your unique title musics for each video!! Keep up the good work and stay safe guys!
I'm going with the Gas model on this one
Damn that's sounds horrible
Did you sample the intro from one of DJ Mystik CD? 🤣
Nice to see Alex.
Anyone else getting well over 50mpg in the city during nice weather? I live at 7000ft altitude and we are getting about 55-57mpg in the city, normal driving. If I drive really conservative I can get up to 62mpg. When the AC is on full blast we still get 51mpg in the city.
does it have spare tire ???
2021 hybrid owner, bought doughnut spare tire, jack and tool kit in as new condition for $230 from local wrecking yard, $50 in materials (3/16 hardboard and dense foam for legs) and some labor and fabriccated a shelf to sit on top of spare tire strapped down with cargo hooks in cargo area with only 7” of depth lost, spare tire problem solved
this car is not a 2017 crv.
whats the music
The acceleration run was unimpressive, and I expected more given the increase in HP/torque.
digitaldoc100 he mentioned it’s also 200 pounds heavier than the non hybrid versions, so it appears any gains in power is negated by the additional weight.
Intro music pulled straight from a six flags commercial
Does this simulate the gears when you drive it under normal acceleration?
Your reviews are always driving it like you stole it lol 😅
I know the gas model simulates gears driving under normal acceleration and is very nice, but your reviews only highlighted it’s engine behavior under full throttle only
As part of the deal, Honda will buy battery modules from GM, which has established battery manufacturing at operations in Michigan."This new, multi-year agreement with Honda further demonstrates General Motors' capability to innovate toward a profitable electric portfolio," "GM's decades of electrification experience and strategic EV investments, alongside Honda's commitment to advancing mobility, will result in better solutions for our customers and progress on our zero emissions vision."

Very good review. It was helpful

sounds like a gas trimmer

My wife has a 2018 CRV EX-FWD 1.5 turbo and we live in Phoenix she drives half city half interstate about 45miles eachway to work everyday and after 34,600miles she has averaged on paper 38.4MPG and on cars computer 37.9mpg and she drives four people in a carpool 2 weeks a month. Not sure if the hybrid is that much better for the money or the problems down the road?
Center stack gives me minivan vibes
Honda/Acura is so far behind they had to find someone to invest in. So GM was the wise choice for AV and EV tech.
Honda’s own self-driving development program isn’t close to anything like that. The company said last year that it likely won’t release its first Level 4 self-driving system until 2025. (A “Level 4” system is one that is limited, typically to areas that have been carefully mapped. You can learn more about the “levels” of autonomous-vehicle technology here.) Motley Fool
