- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ก.ย. 2022
- In this 2023 Honda HR-V Review, Brad and Jared are determined find out if the all-new HR-V is better than the last generation. They break the 2023 Honda HR-V into four categories and find out of it is actually bigger, faster, better looking and tackle the question of price. We all know the HR-V took on a massive price increase, but is it worth it? Did Honda do enough with their 2023 HR-V to justify a starting price increase of over $2500? There is a lot to unpack, and there is a lot of fun to be had in our latest and best review so far. So, come along for the sub compact drive of a lifetime as we review the all-new fully redesigned 2023 Honda HR-V.

Hey, I absolutely love my HRV LX with AWD. I think it is a wonderful little vehicle for the price. Not all of us can afford a CRV or other higher priced SUVs. Handles and rides beautifully, easy to get in and out of, and NOT sluggish or ugly !
Thanks so much for watching. We are thrilled you love your HRV and that you can share your real world opinion with us. But, what about Brad? Isn’t he a bit sluggish and ugly? Thanks for watching. :)
i agree
And if you buy 18 inch rims and tires, you basically have a sport model,
that's what my plan was until I found out no dealerships anywhere near me can even get them to their lot.
They're all stuck in transit looking into late Nov delivery
Too bad
@@warthogA10 I have one on hold I didn’t hear anything about late November, what state are you in?
@@latoriemartin7280 North East coast,
Top 4 states, getting to dealers has been held up by transit problems.
This is what I've been told by dealers for certain vehicles from Dodge, Honda, and Subaru
Specifically Dodge Hornet GT (not the plus) or higher models.
Honda HRV LX base and sport base, (without being loaded with options.
Subaru Crosstrek premium base (that aren't loaded up as well)
Ordering directly from manufacturer can be an 8+ week wait for delivery as well.
This was all as of mid to end of August when I was shopping around.
Cars are being purchased in transit, depleting what dealers are getting onto their lots which people can just go look at.
And no one has any of these specific vehicles to even see or test drive, only one Honda dealer had a base LX to test drive (not for sale)
Again, this was what I was told by every dealer of these brands I spoke with throughout NH, Mass, Vermont, and southern Maine.
And I spoke with A LOT of them.
Many couldn't give any estimates on having them, and most said they could be looking into as late as late Nov 2024
One of the things I like about "Hood Slappers" is they don't take themselves too seriously. They also really, really do know what they are talking about.
Thank you so much. Life is too short to be too serious. We enjoy reviewing cars and we hope that shines through. Thanks for the nice comments. Keep smiling! :)
Got a 23 sport in all back…as far as an everyday car, this car is GREAT. It looks good and feels good. Change those silver emblems to black ones and its looks AMAZING. Waiting for my emblems to come in as we speak!
Black emblems would look smashing on a black HR-V. It’s a fantastic everyday car. Honda really upped their game in this segment. Enjoy yours and thanks for commenting.
I just bought 2024 HR-V sport and I ❤ it!!!!! I've had luxury cars before and I honestly ❤ this vehicle much more! It's comfortable, looks great and for me very roomy and I also think it has zip...it might not have alot of horsepower but it really has good take off.
Congratulations Stacy! That’s so good to hear. We are thrilled you are enjoying your new HR-V. What colour did you go with. We haven’t seen a bad colour on it yet. They all look good
@@HoodSlappersOfficial I went with the pearl white with black trim and the glossy black rims. It looks so good!
@stacywilliams9182 nice choice Stacy. Enjoy the new ride. You deserve it.
I just traded in my 2012 jeep wrangler sport with a new 2024 Honda Hrv ex l in the colour urban gray pearl one month ago! And I love it! Love the color the ride the comfort the look of the exterior and the nice leather interior! Big difference with my Jeep Wrangler, had it for 12 years, was time for a change and really glad I got the Honda!👌
Debbie! What a difference in vehicle. Wow. Thanks for sharing. We always just assumed buying a Jeep was like Hotel California. You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave. :)
Keep enjoying the HRV. We are thrilled you enjoy it.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial you’re right!😅
I had a 2022 Civic Sport I now I have a 2023 HR-V Sport and my wife had a 2022 CR-V touring
I loved the Civic but I love the HR-V WAY more.
I see people say that the HR-V is under powered..... I'm used to driving diesel and V-8 pickups and I'm totally fine with the HR-V. No complaints!
I bought it for fuel efficiency and reliability and I love it.
In the Civic I was getting 37.7 mpg and the HR-V 28.5 the CR-V 31.3 mpg
104 miles a day 95% cruise control at 70 mph over 2000 rpm's of I keep it under 2000 rpm's I get close to 30 mpg.
I can barely tell the difference in power between the HR-V and the CV-R 1.5 turbo. Neither one is a sports car and I don't drive them like one.
Bottom line, I love everything about the HR-V !!!
Thank you for sharing. It’s great to hear from peoples real world experience and to know what others opinions are. It sounds like you’re a true Honda lover. How many have you had in total and which Honda has been your favourite?
@@HoodSlappersOfficial about 10 years ago I had a 99 or 2000 civic, can't remember the year since I owned 3 or 4 of that body style. I delivered pizzas in a blizzard, the town was shut down, right outside of Chicago. I made $450 that night passing 4x4 trucks that were stuck. It was a white knuckle night but it was a beast. Lol
I've had about 6 civics.
It's hard to pick a favorite
The 2022 CR-V touring is impressive for its size. The ride is awesome.
I liked the 2017 Civic for the body style
It's a toss up between the 99 Civic and the HR-V.
The HR-V is roomy, it sits up higher, I like the ride, and it handles great. L.E.D. headlights and tail lights. It's a jacked up Civic with AWD. It is just a fun car to drive. The urban gray paint makes it looks a little more aggressive.
I seen a red 2023 HR-V WoW!! Looks really good in person. Pictures don't do it justice.
They gave me 26,000 on trade in for the Civic with 16,000 miles about 3 weeks ago. Buy it, you will love it too!
Informative video. Humour, laughter in ur presentation is very welcoming. U r work well together. I have one question. Is there after market armrest cup holder that I can purchase. Thank u 🙏
Thank you so much Ajay! We always love making these video reviews. They are a lot of fun. There is nothing that we know of that Honda offers for an arm rest, but in all honesty you can get just about anything you want for your car. Whether its at an automotive parts store or online, there must be something out there.
Thanks again for watching.
Mine looks just like this. As far as power, it does the Job. Every car I’ve had has had a 4 cylinder so it’s whatever. I just wish that it came with the Bose sound system and an arm rest in the back seat would have been nice but at least nobody sits in my backseat.
Thanks for watching. We enjoyed it. The stereo still seemed nice on this trim level. The power is sufficient. It’s a great choice in the segment. Enjoy yours.
I previously had the 2016 HRV, and drove it for a couple years. I really enjoyed it after driving a Toyota Yaris for many years. I liked the size. I rarely have others in the car. And I got an average of 35 miles to the gallon. I traded it in for a 2023 HRV because I am driving too many miles per year to keep a car with 110k miles on it. I love the new design. Very comfortable to drive. Lots of great safety features. Disappointments are that I get 34 miles to the gallon now. And there are times that I wish it had more power. But it is an awesome car for my 30 mile commute. In spite of it being larger, when I needed to parallel park, it was easy using the backup camera. I landed 1 inch from the curb on both front and back. That was on the first try. Automatic high beams are terrific.
Thank you so much for watching and sharing with us Linda. You have a much better perspective than us being an owner of both generations of HRV. It’s a great vehicle for sure. Lots to like.
Happy driving to you Linda. Thanks again!
Thank you for your review.
Thank YOU! We appreciate you watching. We hope you took something away from it.
Wonderful, a beautiful car too, awesome video guys!!
Thanks so much. Easy to make a review on such a nice car too. We appreciate you checking out our channel and taking the time to comment. Have a great day!
BRING BACK THE ELEMENT.
An EV Element. We are calling it now. VW is doing the ID Buzz, Honda has to go after them with an EV Element. Let’s see if we are right. Thanks for watching!
My guys keep killin it
Thank you so very much. We are thrilled you are joining us on our TH-cam journey. Lots more to come.
One thing I like about this car is how easy it is to install car seats (the latches are exposed instead of buried in the buttcracks of the backseat like the other cars I've driven). So thats a nice feature if you have small children.
Though I suspect my little one will be mad about the lack of USB ports in the back when she's older. At least her car seat has its own cup holder. LOL
Great insight. We never talk about car seats but we really should. People could definitely benefit from knowing stuff like that. As for the USBs when your child is older. Good luck. :) And enjoy the cup holder while have it kid.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. We love hearing from our viewers and appreciate every one of you.
I never thought the HRV was ugly and it certainly wasn’t built cheap.
Jim! Thanks for watching. That may very well be, but we can’t say the same about Brad though. :)
Have a great long weekend!
@@HoodSlappersOfficial thank you, you too
Curious to know if the heated steering wheel and defrost wipers are standard in the EX-L trim. I've put a deposit down, but have yet to see these features in any other videos or on the honda website. Awesome video! Thanks!
Thanks for the comment. Yes, at least on Canada, the EXL has heated seats, wiper de-icer and a heated steering wheel. Those features are slowly becoming more of a luxury and slipping into the “standard” list.
How long is the wait for your HRV? We absolutely loved it.
This makes sense for Canada for sure! I am in the US and thankfully not a cold region, so these features weren't a NEEDED option for me lol. From what I have seen, the US EX-L model does not have the heated steering wheel or wiper de-icer, but it does have the heated seats, which I am excited for! I am hoping to have my new car in the next week or so! Thanks again for your review, as well as your quick response!
Well consider yourself lucky. Today there will be a low of -30 degrees centigrade where we are. :)
Enjoy your new HRV. Hopefully the wait wasn’t long. Here is to many miles ahead.
Does it have idle stop? Good video and sense of humor.
Thank you so much! We are glad you enjoyed it. The HRV does not have idle stop. That’s good news because we must remember what the second commandment says, “Thou shall not make for yourself idles and worship them”. Ha. Sorry, we thought that was funny. Have a great day.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial 😆
This is a good car. Reliable and safety features. One of the better basic cars.
We really enjoyed it. Night and day compared to the first generation HRV. Our only real issue is the price. Honda was always a price leader, inviting new drivers at lower costs with entry levels. It seems like those days are gone. Regardless, it’s still a great machine.
Thanks for watching.
i just got the 2024 honda hr-v exl and its very nice..
Congratulations! Enjoy your new ride. You picked a good one. What colour did you go with?
Hello hood slappers
I love your videos I can’t make up my mind on what SUV I want. Maybe you can help me I’m thinking about getting the Toyota cross or the honda Hrv ? Which is the perfect one to get a love how honest you guys are keep up the great work
AR, great question. To be honest, both are great and you can’t go wrong with either brand. However, what we like about each is the fresh look and design on the HRV and the pure reliability of the Corolla Cross. At the time of those reviews, the Corolla Cross was a very long delay. So, if time is not on your side, the HRV would probably be a quicker purchase, but it’s also more expensive. Our one issue with the Corolla Cross is that, much like a Corolla, it’s kind of boring and plain.
All this to say, you’ll be happy with both. Do you want the fresher looking vehicle that comes with a higher price tag, or the cheaper vehicle that looks cheaper for a reason but is backed by a brand with a great track record? The agony of choice. ;)
Lastly, you should test drive them both back to back. That would really help.
We hope this helps mate. Let us know what you go with.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial thank you for your comments. I will let you guys know what I will pick but if you guys had a chance to pick which one which one would it be HRV or the Corolla cross
Brad would go Corolla Cross because he drives a Corolla. Jared would go HRV because he used to have one. Ha. Doesn’t help does it
@@HoodSlappersOfficial your right I also had a Corolla for the last 20 years and I might want to change to get a Honda Hrv
Thank you guys for the feedback keep being honest cause honesty is the best policy
The lack of rear center armrest and cupholders is not a design flaw, just a budget decision to keep things at a set price with all the upgrades from the previous version, like the Civic.
The new version lacks the Magic seats because of the different platform design and location of the fuel tank from the previous version. And the AWD is slower than the FWD.
The 17" wheels/tires on the LX/EX-L look anemic and small in the wells.
Great points. That Magic Seat was pretty cool though. We have to move on though because there is still a lot of great things to remember about this new HR-V. Thanks for watching.
@HoodSlappersOfficial Yes, the Magic Seats I believe are still available on the Ridgeline, possibly, maybe even the CRV, but not sure, what was so convenient is if you were backed up to a wall, or parallel parking with another car close behind on the previous HR-V, you coukd easily load things in via either rear door. Especially bi yckes, potted plants, larger HDTVs and other tall objects.
But as you said, the new HR-V has so much going for it, and so much potential if Honda would go for it. That includes at least a Sport Touring version, with all the comparable equipment from the Civic Sport Touring Hatchback.
Notice that the rear of the center console has designed accommodations to install rear A/C vents and USB charging ports. A folding center armrest with cup holders for the rear seat is another simple upgrade.
The possibilities are endless, of corporate bean counters, marketing, their Honda Performance Division would get the approval to offer more exciting trim.leveks snd options, the HR-V could be incredible.
IMHO, the Civic EX Sedan, EX-L Hatchback and HR-V EX-L should remain configured with the standard 1.5L turbo engine, but upgrade the Civic Touring Sedan, Sport Touring Hatchback and the possible HR-V Sport Touring with the Si 200(222) horspower 1.5L turbo engine, like the Civic Si Sedan, and Acura Integra A-Spec Technology Package, with the CVT, or 6 speed manual versions with the LSD, also put the LSD on the Civic Sport Sedan/Hatchback and offer the same for the HRV Sport.
Then upgrade the Si and Integra A-Spec Technology Package with the detuned 2.0L turbo engine in the previous Accord Sport 2.0L.
I think an HR-V Type R as some mentioned, would be overkill, and detract from the Type R, but I would love it, if they made an HR-V Si with the detuned 2.0L turbo engine in both 6 Speed and Automatic with the conventional shifter, not the push button one like they had in the Accord Sport.
All the bells & whistles from the Sport Touring, Bose Stereo, performance dual exhaust, slightly lowered springs like the Eibach ones, front strut tower brace, and along with other suspension tweaks, that would be pretty much it.
But I would be happy with the planned modifications and add ons to the standard HR-V Sport. I just wish that they also had a 12 voltage outlet in the front.
I just bought the sport model, and I've been zipping down the highway, no problem. Now, if you use economy, it's slower, but normal, I've had no problem.
Horatio, thank you for watching and saying hello. Hopefully we did the HR-V justice. We really enjoyed the vehicle.
Love this vehicle. My brother just picked one up. I’m just disappointed that they don’t respect the arm
You got to respect the arm. Especially these days. Arms need to be rested. Thanks for watching.
I didn’t know it is ugly until you told me that. Everything is good with this car except for firm suspension and no rear air vents
Well obviously he are VERY influential. :). Brad and Jared are also very handsome….ok maybe that’s too far.
Do you have a new HR-V? Thanks so much for watching. We hope you enjoyed the review.
Got one after owning a 2006 rav4 with the big engine. Needless to say it is a very different experience. But the basic luxury features make a world of difference.
You had a V6 Rav? Nice. That’s a rare bird. Yes, definitely a big difference in a lot of ways but a trade up in so many ways too. Congratulations. Enjoy your new vehicle.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial oh yeah, going from a machine that I just considered dangerous to a car that practically drives itself is huge
Enjoy it. We are sure you deserve it.
Bring back the HONDA FIT.
Wouldn’t that be amazing?! Maybe we will see something electric in the future. Like the ID.3 from VW.
What color is this one?? Thank you so much
Great question! This one is in Hondas Modern Steel Metallic. A colour Honda has had for a while and is very popular. Thanks for asking and for watching!
Great video guys! I know I used salt to deal with the sluggish problem in my garden. It worked but is is a bit pricey so... 🤷♀
Honestly the HR-V is a great car if you are the target consumer. I had the sub-compact Chev Sonic and it was great right up until my daughter got too big for the back seat. The sub-compact SUV is a great option for anyone who doesn't have grown children. That fuel efficiency rivals that of any Hybrid in a larger vehicle. Perfect for getting to work and running errands, not so great if you want more than two adult sized people in them.
Also, I forgot to mention, that Tennyson joke was on point. Well done!
Thanks so much for watching our HRV video Bleatmop. Great hearing from you again and thanks for sharing your experience. The Sonic was a very small car indeed. We may have to get our hands on one and test the space ourselves. It might be fun. It seems there is an SUV for every size of person and family. The subcompact may not be for all, but it's definitely growing.
We pretend to be smart sometimes. Hopefully this was one of those times. :)
@@HoodSlappersOfficial I do find it funny when they call them sub-compact SUVs though as I've always just called them a hatchback. I suppose the times do be a changing.
A hatchback on steroids with AWD is a way better name than sub compact. It rolls off the tongue. :)
Sorry if this is a dumb question but this is an EXL trim level right? I have the exact same thing and mine does not have heated steering wheel or rear air vent why is that?
No such thing as a dumb question mate. Thank you for asking. We are from Canada so there are a few differences between our trim levels and those of Americans. We have heard this a few times, it’s usually the opposite. The US market usually gets more.
Thanks for watching and for
asking.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial dang well ok. Thanks for the replay and clarification.
Any time at all. Happy to help. Have a great rest of your week.
These look like the 2008 era Audi Q series in the body style/looks
Also the 2024s are all stuck in transit for a very long time, at least for the North East coast, no dealers can get them,
the guestimate times of arrival are late Sept to end of Nov 2024,
and they're being bought up while in transit,
so good luck to anyone who's shopping for one, especially in the LX or sport models and especially in the basic builds,
because the manufacturers are sending out the high end trim packages first.
Same for the Subaru Crosstrek Base and premium,
and the Dodge Hornet GT
Thanks for watching and commenting. It’s tough right now purchasing a new car. Wait times are long, and interest rates don’t help either. Even used cars are hard to find at a good price. Nobody has really cracked the code yet unfortunately.
All the best on your car buying journey.
I’ve gotta buy my college bound kid a AWD for around 20-23k. Considering used Subaru Crosstrek or HRV. HRV seems to be a better value. Thoughts?
Thanks for the question and the subscribe. First of all, you have a very lucky kid to be getting them a nice new car. Make sure they remember this in the future. The HRV and the Crosstrek are two great cars to consider. The Crosstrek has always been a great value and more often than not, can lease at a great price. The HRV, for this new body design, has raised their price, but with it has also raised their standards and did a really nice job. Personally, if you are looking for the right price point, Crosstrek. If you are looking for something that brings more to the vehicle but at a higher price, we would definitely say HRV. Both vehicles are Japanese engineered and it's hard to go wrong with that.
All the best in your car shopping adventure. Please tell us what she ends up going with! Have a great day!
Looked at the spec. Looks good. One of the biggest subcompact. However, lacks power. I have a civic. Have issue uphill on highways.
Thanks for watching Michael. You have trouble getting uphills on highways? We would definitely recommend going to see your nearest Honda Dealer to make sure everything is ok. A Honda Civic shouldn’t struggle up a hill.
We loved the HR-V. It does look good and has plenty of space, but we just hoped it would have a little more power for an SUV. Oh well. Can’t win them all.
Better tha a 3cylinder nissan, Chevy TRAX ,and buick. Resale tells it Honda wins hands down every contest.
No contest with those other names mentioned. The HRV is still as brilliant as ever. Thanks for watching.
The 1.5t should have a least been an option, for the HRV. Change my mind.
Well we won’t try and change your mind, rather we will agree with you. Although the larger 2.0 is nice, the offset of weight doesn’t really change anything. Thanks for watching Bennie.
If the magic seats are gone I will never buy another HR-V. I have the 2018 and use the magic seats all the time.
They are really nice to have aren’t they. It’s one thing that separated Honda from much of the competition. It is to bad they removed it. However, it is still a great vehicle. We promise. :)
Thanks for watching. What do you think you’d replace your 2018 HRV with if you had to?
Bring back the 2.4 found in the older CRVS and Accords and put it in the HR-V! It would give it more well needed power.
That was such a bullet proof engine. Unfortunately, with the new “smaller engine and add a turbo” philosophy the 2.4 is no more. It was good while it lasted. Thanks for watching.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial Thanks for the great review!
@briankasat9711 our pleasure mate.
I have one with about 1500mi's it needs a flip down armrest in the back seat, stiffer lowered suspension, bigger diameter wheels, the moon roof should be the panoramic one they sell in the UK. The UK ZRV is much nicer but has a sell price of 40k pounds and if is was priced the same in USD's they wouldn't sell any
Isn't it wild how different cars are all around the world? The UK has a line up unseen by North America. We would love some of the stuff you guys have over there. Looks like we will just have to come and visit. Thanks for watching.
I can’t tell if it’s small or if y’all are big
Haha. Well the camera does add a few pounds. The good news is that Jared IS big and Brad is a lot less big. However both were very comfortable in the HRV. Are you thinking of purchasing one?
I'm a big man. 6' 340lbs, I have to ask the obvious question; Jared, is this one big man friendly? Particularly in the shoulders area? Or do you find yourself leaning towards the inside of the car...
Great question Lesley. The rear was good for legroom but not good for three people. Two is max. As for the drivers seat, it is more crammed than a CRV, but still workable and has enough room. The seats are comfortable. We suggest taking one out for a drive and be mindful of the centre console. If your height is all legs, that console might get annoying.
@HoodSlappersOfficial thanks for responding!
@lesleywalls7356 no problem at all. Happy to help. All the best and thanks for commenting.
Cheap… maybe frugal, but not cheap.
I hate that all cars makers design cramped back seats.
Guys the video is wonderful. Informative and entertaining. Keep the videos coming!
Maybe one day you, Brad and Jared should see if the three of you can fit in the back seat of an SUV. Might be funny. Thanks for another comment and for your loyalty. Always appreciate hearing from you.
Jim: No, not ALL carmakers have cramped back seats. Check out a KIA Soul. Plenty of space, lots of head room! 35+ mpg highway. $20k base model.
Nice to see Glenn Beck back on TH-cam
Haha. Yes! Spot on. We will share this with him indeed. Amazing.
Actually I love the way it looks perfect design it's about time
And I rather have less fuel mileage but then I don't have to spend money every 15,000 to clean carbon because that wipe out all the fuel saving also why everybody all of a sudden need power the gate so pretty soon person should not even move their hand look at that little gate it's open just fine so why waste money and it should be more reliable long term
Thanks for your insight Isaac. We appreciate you checking out our channel. What do you mean when you say “spending money every 15,000 to clean carbon?”
Thanks!
@@HoodSlappersOfficial direct injection engine have a high build up carbon by design so every 15,000 miles it needs to be cleaned valves and throttle body most manufacturers recommend that otherwise engine would not last more than 80,000 miles
Thanks for sharing. Some DI engines are definitely worse than others. Time will tell how the new CRV does. Thanks again for saying hello. We love hearing from viewers.
Hope the hybrid version comes to thailand (as ZRV)
No hybrid here in Canada yet. But Honda is starting to really get more into Hybrid technology. We will see what happens.
Thanks for watching.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial fingers crossed. In Thailand there are alot of new models coming to market in next 8 months
Oh very cool. Lots to look forward to. :)
Is it Honda's fault that autofocus is not the strong suit with your videos? The HRV is built to be a daily driver and I would hope that the aftermarket will help with the horsepower that is lacking.
Yes, it IS Hondas fault that autofocus is not the strong suit with our videos. We didn’t want to bring it up unless someone else did. Here we are. Thanks for watching.
No temperature gauge
Engine or exterior. We didn’t notice either to be honest.
Thanks for saying hello. Have a great Easter
@@HoodSlappersOfficial for the engine so you know if it’s starting to over heat that’s my only worry about the new Hondas I don’t know why they took them out
A lot of them don’t have a temp gauge. Only a blue light that says it’s cold and a red light that will tell you if it’s too hot. Still something. Ha
Like the Corolla Cross before it, this car screams HYBRID!
Honda is definitely on the road to more Hybrids. We wouldn’t be shocked if a Hybrid HRV came out.
Thanks for watching.
put the hybrid motor in it.
You know what, that’s a great idea. Honda is starting to dive into the Hybrid game a lot more and we can only assume that the Hybrid DNA will find itself somewhere on the HR-V at some point. Thanks for watching
I don't care what everyone saying, old generation looks way better, this one doesn't look nothing like a honda, very dull.
Not everyone is saying that. A lot of people agree with you too Leo. Both are completely different and there will be a difference of opinion. Missing the Magic Seats is a bummer, but the extra features are nice.
Thanks for watching mate. Drive on and Merry Christmas.
bigger than the FIT based HRV, but less cargo space?!??! that's moving in the wrong direction. for the price difference i'd get the CRV.
Hey thanks for watching! We aren’t sure what you mean by that. The Fir had 1492 litres of cargo space with the seats down whereas the new HRV has 1559 litres. But, your CRV statement is spot on. As much as the new HRV is, that new CRV is fantastic and offers a bit more of everything. The only down side is the hub caps on the entry level CRV LX in Canada.
Anyway, thanks again for commenting. Have a great day!
#letbraddrive
Maybe for his birthday. We aren’t even sure if he CAN drive.
The back seat is for dogs. Dogs do not need cup holders
Well, we’ve been called a lot worse before. :)
Thanks for watching.
Why do these car reviewers always review the top trim models?
We usually just take what’s available at the time. Our CRV review is a base model. Our Tiguan and Taos are a mid level trims. There is a good mix. We hope you find something you like Eric. Thanks for watching.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial Cool, I’ll take a look after I shovel more snow 🇨🇦😁
Haha. Oh we can relate. :)
Needs more Horsepower
That’s a bit of an issue it seems. It has more horsepower but it’s heavier than the previous model. But, it does look good
Yes,but Honda knows better I will pass on this .Regardless.
No worries. We appreciate you watching. Have a great weekend.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial You too
Passenger sear guy needs to learn how to wear seat belt correctly.
Who are you the seat belt police? Grow up Peter Pan
Brad can’t even colour between the lines in a colouring book yet. Baby steps. Once he masters colouring, we will work on the seat belt. Thanks for watching.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial This overconfidence no matter how skilled the driver is, will bite his or someone's else ass in future.
@@emailnotification4149 kind of like your arrogance?
Well either way, we appreciate you watching. Have a great week.
Almost as bland looking as a Ford Escape but probably a better vehicle
The front end is VERY Ford Escape like. Those headlights especially. The rest of the car is much different.
So funny😅
Thanks so much. Hopefully we were able to add a few laughs to your day. Thanks for watching Kathy. It means a lot.
It looks like a huge step back from the last HRV.
Hey thanks for watching. We appreciate you checking us out. Anywhere specific or just the entire car in general? Thanks!
In what way? More ground clearance, more high end materials? Bigger engine, new multi link suspension? Improved sound deadening. Civic chassis vs Honda fit? Please tell us how it’s a huge step back or is it just out of your reach?
The previous HRV in the EXL model has all 4 doors panel fully padded and leather covered. Yes, even the rear doors panel, and not just the arm rest and then hard plastic door panel, but the full door panel.
Y’all take too long to get to the point
Sorry. Thanks for watching though. Have a great weekend.
Your banter is tiresome. I came here to learn about THE VEHICLE!
Yikes. Thanks for watching anyway.
The H-RV is butt ugly!!!
Come on! It’s not that bad is it? That interior is really well done.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial yes, the interior is nice, but that’s it.
Makes sense. We appreciate you checking out our channel and for watching.
I feel it is ugly especially the front end!! The previous generation looked fine to me except for the hidden outside door handle for the second row.
A lot of first impressions were that it was a coupe. Those sneaky door handles!
Toyota RAV4 is the ugliest car on the road.
Uglier than the Nissan Juke???? Come on! :)
Thanks for watching.
@@HoodSlappersOfficial you might be right.
Haha.
