I test drove this vehicle and I must say I was impressed. The second row seating has a huge amount of leg room. I was totally blow away with the ergonomics and practicality of the vehicle. It is NOT the ultimate vehicle but man does it fill all the criteria of what everyone kind of wants. A jack of all trades.
I was going to trade my 2014 LX in when the 2017 EX-L is available. Cons on my 2014 LX: No armrest, uncomfortable seats, no recline rear seats, not enough power. 2017 Cons: Complicate screen, ugly digital dash, turbo except LX (turbo would never last), 14 gal tank, Pros: Finally recline rear seats, better looking wheels than touring, better looking tail lights. Power assisted tailgate. However, not sure if the seats are larger and more comfortable, and unless there is major change where they offer 2.4 on all models, (Honda shot themselves on the foot on this) , I may buy a RDX instead.
The 2018 Equinox 1.5 TAWD is $21K on cars dot com where the CR-V is $5,000 more at $26K. Not sure if it is worth $5,000 than the Chevy but the bank set Honda residuals won't catch that discount within a lease period. The older CR-V L 2.4l AWD is still $2,000 more expensive with lower output engine and less features that the 2018 Equinox 1.5T AWD.
I bought a CR-V EX-L AWD (2017) and got a good deal for it. Short story is that it's a great handling vehicle, with a torque-laden engine that delivers impressive torque for passing (50 - 70 mph) and a very intuitive CVT unit that can downshift rapidly for passing, while delivering impressive fuel mileage. Front seats are almost perfect for my 6'-3.5" frame, and I wish they had a little more seat cushion room for my 55 year old frame. Otherwise, visibility and ergonomics in the cabin are great as is utility. I am getting on average, 30 mpg all around with spikes of 36-plus miles per gallon on the highway. I have close to 15000 miles and only two oil changes plus a tire rotation. The car is a good performer and secure. Downside is the carpet inside is flimsy and cheap, and the exterior body panels and plastic accessory moldings seem cheap in feel. I wonder about their durability in the long term under the sun. I recommend strongly getting third party floor mats for this car to preserve the flimsy carpeting.
Currently comparing the '17 CRV EX to a Subaru Forester. I am working with a $30k price range and it's interesting to see the results. The CRV is clearly a better value over the Forester for my $30k of car in terms of leather seating, interior fit and finish, safety options and the media head unit paring with my cell phone. The Subaru also has one aspect that hurts it when compared to the CV - a flat load floor or lack thereof. That and my $30k in a Forester only gets a back up camera. "Eyesight" and other features are only found in more costly trim levels. But with the Forester, my $30k gets me heated mirrors and wipers plus a darned good driver's seat that's cloth, not leather.

DoubleD 613 Yeah, but how can you deny an excellent 3.5L V6 in the RDX and standard full LED headlights. I'd rather go with a base RDX than a fully loaded CR-V.
The Kia sportage SX Turbo has been pretty impressive as well. The new CX-5 looks really nice, but more than likely its getting the same engine from last year. Yes I know they mazda claims a diesel option later, but they should have offered a better regular turbo.
stockjonebills Mazda is playing around they need to get that 2.5 turbo into the cx5 stat or Toyota, Honda and Ford is going to continue eating their lunch. PS probably Hyundai too
5 years later I can answer that for sure lol, 2017-2019 CR-V EX and higher trims are rated for 28 city, 33highway, 29 combined (although I average around 32.5 combined), and the LX is around 27 combined. The 2020 models make the LX have the same engine as the EX + trims, but the ratings bumped a notch. 29 city, 35 highway, 30 combined. Now a Hybrid is offered from 2020 and newer, it receives 38 city, 41 highway, 39 combined.
Looks are improved over the previous model. This one looks more handsome. Those front seats are gorgeous and look very upscale. Honda's got another winner on its hands!
I'll be honest I'm a GM fanboy and while I like the new Equinox, this honestly blows me way, the EX is bad ass with all that standard equipment, I'm starting to really like Honda. The only other brand I'd get that's not American

Good for Honda to offer a blind spot monitoring system over their awkward, asymmetrical & relatively cheap single passenger-sided LaneWatch camera. Unlike other competitors, Honda had previously only offered blind spot monitoring on their most expensive Elite-trimmed Pilot/Odyssey & luxury Acura line.
The pattern on the seats reminds me of the XT5 platinum.. this thing is a cross between overstyled and a concept car on steroids. From some angles I love it. Others "meh".. those wheels though from any angle GOT TO GO. I feel like this thing would look excellent with a mesh grille and some nice aftermarket wheels.
I wish the body wasn't similar to the previous model. Yes the headlights/tailights FINALLY changed but the body .. come on?! lol I do like how they got rid of the D-Pillar taillights!
it's an amazing car. i have one with no navi and i love my car so much. I highly recommend it. It drives very nicely and it has an amazing get up and go. it is a very comfy car and i drove it across country with my mom. i have had one recall and got it taken care of and it was done very quickly. I dont have anything that I dont like about this car.
Hondas are reliable cars, I simply love them, but I am a little discourage they are adding "turbos" to their vehicles. As we all know, a Honda can last you a lifetime but "turbos" eventually will have to be replaced. Does anyone know the cost to replace and how often? When my Tiguan's turbo had to be replaced, it was $3400.00 and the dealer's mechanic stated turbos life expectancy is 4-5 years at best.
Honda been implementing new technology, a lot of stuff with a few kinks in them of course people gonna complain and that affects their rating..that what happens when you have so many newly designed models in a two year spand.
One item to think about. Any Honda product will get the advertised MPG. Not so with ANY Ford product. I test drove a Fusion and an Escape and never came close to the highway mpg. Set the cruise at 65mph went twenty miles on the highway and was shy by 3 mpg with both Ford products.
I think Honda cit their own throat. I was going to trade my 2014 CRV-LX for the 2017 until they discontinued the 2.4 engine except for the LX model. Who the ell wanted a Civic engine in a CRV, a Turbo? They also cut the throat on the 2018 Accord, they replaced 2.4 & 3.0 with Turbo in the name of MPG. They misunderstood that owners bought Honda for reliability, not MPG. I guess I am going to buy me a RDX for me and a Camry instead of an Accord for my wife.
Quite nice, but that infotainment interface looks like it was designed in 2006. I don't understand why some car manufacturers just can't get such an important part right.
Got a poem for Honda You wish you had a panoramic sunroof, you want more light into the car, you blew it You wish you had heated rear seats, you want to keep your passengers warm, you blew it You wish you had a heated steering wheel, you want to hold a warm steering wheel, you blew it. I wish the US had the Canadian Touring trim, I want the Canadian Touring trim, they blew it.

CRV seems to beat CX5 in virtually every way from road grip, acceleration a full second faster, cargo space, braking by 10ft. Lower center of gravity and handling. Probably will have better resale and reliability too. Only thing CX5 beats CRV is by “feel” as in the opinion of drivers the CX5 feels like it drives better when in actuality, it doesn’t.
I keep looking at CRV's to replace my Element one day. This one looks better. But, I think I would have to change the wheels. Too angular for my taste.
Since this new CR-V shares many components with the new Civic, ( engine, suspension, chassis, infotainment system, transmission, etc.) and since the Civic has a much worse than average repair record after one year, this is not a vehicle that I would get. I was thinking about trading in my 2013 Accord, but no more.
First time I have seen double exhaust no the CRV, more tailpipe means better fuel efficiency and make the car look more appealing and sexy. Also, the CRV wieghs 56 LBS less. I believe the 1.5 190 HP engine will get 28 city and 36 Highway for the 2WD version and 26-33 for the 4WD version, that's my prediction. The 2.4 184 HP engine should get 26-32 Highway for with the 2WD, same with the outgoing model and 25-31 for the 4WD version.
The front fascia looks a like the 3rd gen CR-V. Having nearly identical power with the non-turbo is kinda pointless to me. Let's hope this new model won't bring the reliability ratings down further like the 2016 Honda Civic, HRV, Pilot and Ridgeline did. In the 2017 CR reliability survey, Honda ranked #10 out of 29 brands, which is quite shocking.
If driven conservatively, that is. I've owned turbos, so I know. It's more for weight savings & emissions. I still prefer naturally aspirated. Per CR, those engines are generally more reliable than turbos.
Yes, Mr. Muchler mentioned that at the beginning. Still a yawn for me. Offer the SI's engine, or the corporate V6, and now we're talking! Why should the Civic or the RDX have all the fun?
Doesn't even make sense. Why wouldn't you quote the torque figures, especially since immediately after mentioning the horsepower you mention that the new engine makes more torque than the previous.
The 2017 CX-5 looks sportier/better but its slightly smaller and the CR-V gets a turbo. I doubt the CX-5 gets a turbo. It will be the same engine as last year.

In the video, the presenter incorrectly states that the EX-L trim adds a power liftgate. This feature only comes with the Touring trim. news.honda.com/newsandviews/article.aspx?id=9272-en
Not a fan of the redesign. the front bumper is like a swollen lip. The back resembles the Jeep Cherokee with more rear light effect. The previous looks better still. Being more bold doesn't mean better.
This new CR-V could be top of the SUV/CUV class and that means it's gonna be better than the Subaru Forester I'm curious to see reliability and how Honda improve there "Real Time AWD". hopefully Cr buys a fully loaded CR-V
So, the new gen 2017 Honda CR-V, measurements (l 180.6, wb 104.7, w 73, weight 3307-3512), overall nice redesign, but did they go far enough, just look how much Chevy/GM did for the redesign (next gen) Equinox, note, no hybrid like the Toyota Rava4 or diesel like the next gen Chevy Equinox, curious, no, 2.0 I4 turbo, Honda should be paying closer attention to the new gen Equinox, why you ask, because this is the 1st truly compact Equinox Chevy has done (Equinox was previously a midsize CUV, with compact prices), yes, Chevy offer compact CUVs before, either through fleets sells (Chevrolet Captiva or used to be 2nd gen Saturn Vue) or remember the HHR, that's it folks, as for why no I4 turbo, I’m guessing, we will soon see the next gen Acura RDX, so if the CR-V doesn't have a 2.0 I4 turbo, one has to believe the RDX will be getting this engine, is it safe too assume the RDX will be losing it V6, with these 2 redesign (Honda CR-V and Chevy Equinox) the CUV compact market is making life hard for compact/midsize sedans
I believe the style and design is being led by Hyundai and Kia. That being said, general dimensions are much better than the old one. Rear end looks over-designed.
Why are you looking at the camera while driving? Keep your eyes on the road at all times. It reminds me of people who unwisely look at their passenger while talking.
I must admit Honda is REALLLYYY stingy on their features on the lower and mid trims! U also get stuck with ugly wheels that look like they r from the 90's

Comfortable ride, very quiet because of active noise cancellation tech in the CRV, and great suspension. Great SUV!
Wow that's one impressive looking CR-V. I like it! To all of those who are saying this car is ugly, you have no taste. this car is beautiful
I test drove this vehicle and I must say I was impressed. The second row seating has a huge amount of leg room. I was totally blow away with the ergonomics and practicality of the vehicle. It is NOT the ultimate vehicle but man does it fill all the criteria of what everyone kind of wants. A jack of all trades.
looks much better looking, just like what honda did to the Civic
Honda new designs are FANTASTIC! I can't wait to see what they'll do with the next gen accord.
Wow it's stunning inside and out

Looks really great.
zorkor are you being serious? just wondering
Im with zorkor, I like the new look
Looks amazing . Good value . Who the hell will buy the Acuras now ?
Someone who wants a V6 because no turbo 4 will truly match a v6.

unless it's a Subaru WRX

Honda is getting so good their is NO POINT OF BUYING AN ACURA!
DoubleD 613 never was any reasons 😂
DoubleD 613 Yeah, but how can you deny an excellent 3.5L V6 in the RDX and standard full LED headlights. I'd rather go with a base RDX than a fully loaded CR-V.
DoubleD 613 🤔
Price is out growing the economy cuv segment too as it is the most expensive.
wow that CRV actually looks good, unlike the previous model which was hideous.
I really liked the grill on the previous gen, but everything else is improved here.
Remember when the CR-V had a Manual transmission?
Still does in the UK :) I have one.
Monkiimagic Wow really? Here I was thinking it stopped back in 06, this makes yours rare now when we're talking about worldwide
Yeah the UK still tends to offer a manual for most cars... They are still a popular choice.
can't wait for the next cx5 to go head to head
But I think the 2017 Tiguan will still be better than them with all those tech. (only if the US version have them)
Sure, if you fancy dealing with service and reliability issues, get a tiguan...
The Kia sportage SX Turbo has been pretty impressive as well. The new CX-5 looks really nice, but more than likely its getting the same engine from last year. Yes I know they mazda claims a diesel option later, but they should have offered a better regular turbo.

Wow, what a nice upgrade for 2017. Looks to be a very nice model to get. Can't wait to find out what the MPG ratings are.
5 years later I can answer that for sure lol, 2017-2019 CR-V EX and higher trims are rated for 28 city, 33highway, 29 combined (although I average around 32.5 combined), and the LX is around 27 combined.

Why no CD player? I can change the wheels but pretty expensive but the lack of a CD player stumps me!
Thanks for any comments.
yay honda volume knob
I have a Sony XAV-712 in my Highlander. The +/- buttons took little getting use to, but I still wish there was a volume knob.
Can't wait to see what Honda will do to the next generation Honda Accord !
I'll be honest I'm a GM fanboy and while I like the new Equinox, this honestly blows me way, the EX is bad ass with all that standard equipment, I'm starting to really like Honda. The only other brand I'd get that's not American

that is sharp. my wife has a 2015 crv we love it. I do wish the 2017 had the camera on the bottom of the right outside mirror I do like that feature
that rear...
***** so sexy...
nickolastiguan yes because the back of the previous models screamed granny lol
OLD MULE BUTT CRV
HAWT... in fact the whole car is steamin'.
The front reminds me of a Stormtrooper helmet.
The interior looks so modern
Looks awesome! But also strongly resembles the new Ford Edge ... just smaller.
the rear indicator is nice
Those rear turn signal...
Bagus Pribadi Utomo yeah leds and long nice and bright !!
Bagus Pribadi Utomo I'm obsessed with LED rear turn signals, I'm so excited a Honda is finally doing it!
Awesome looking, I would consider this car
Good for Honda to offer a blind spot monitoring system over their awkward, asymmetrical & relatively cheap single passenger-sided LaneWatch camera. Unlike other competitors, Honda had previously only offered blind spot monitoring on their most expensive Elite-trimmed Pilot/Odyssey & luxury Acura line.
The pattern on the seats reminds me of the XT5 platinum.. this thing is a cross between overstyled and a concept car on steroids. From some angles I love it. Others "meh".. those wheels though from any angle GOT TO GO. I feel like this thing would look excellent with a mesh grille and some nice aftermarket wheels.
I really wish they threw a hybrid drivetrain under there like the accord, I really believe it would be a great seller
Agreed, i'm confused as to why Honda are putting a higher powered Hybrid into the CR-V.... would be a big seller in Europe and the US.
Bill Dingo I agree with you CR-V Hybrid
Maybe they will do it in the future!
I wish the body wasn't similar to the previous model. Yes the headlights/tailights FINALLY changed but the body .. come on?! lol I do like how they got rid of the D-Pillar taillights!
Looks like they're still there to me. And worse than before.
Michael Witkowski I guess, somewhat, gotta keep that "CRV" look. lol
Manwell they look similar but different this 2017 is bigger and wider
Please make a pass thru for back row for long items!!! It's almost perfectly practical except it needs a 40/20/40 back row...
Looks brilliant! Honda are on a roll. I like these new Hondas very much. Much better than yawn a minute German stuff!
It has a some what similar front end design to the Honda BR-V
Damn, that looks good!
CVT....bummer, guess I'll be looking at the cx5
I hope they test a LX or EX model.
it's an amazing car. i have one with no navi and i love my car so much. I highly recommend it. It drives very nicely and it has an amazing get up and go. it is a very comfy car and i drove it across country with my mom. i have had one recall and got it taken care of and it was done very quickly.

Quite nice, but that infotainment interface looks like it was designed in 2006. I don't understand why some car manufacturers just can't get such an important part right.
Got a poem for Honda
You wish you had a panoramic sunroof, you want more light into the car, you blew it
You wish you had heated rear seats, you want to keep your passengers warm, you blew it
You wish you had a heated steering wheel, you want to hold a warm steering wheel, you blew it.
I wish the US had the Canadian Touring trim, I want the Canadian Touring trim, they blew it.
For everyday, runabout driving, is turbo worth it? I thought there were cons to turbo engines.
Motor Trend got worse city rating EPA, but beat the EPA on the highway.
still debate which car should I get
CX5 or CR-V.
I like to hear from your opinion
Thanks

Research it on TH-cam!
As good as it looks and high end, the price is also on the higher end
Am I the only one that's worried this guy looks at the camera more than he does the road???
Thanks for the early insights here.
Is there more ground clearance now? & How are the seats and view?
Cheers
id like to know the Ground Clearance too. Is it higher than the previous? If so....By how much
Snowie Puppy Just go on Honda's website and look at the specs.
7.8 FWD, 8.3 AWD
I keep looking at CRV's to replace my Element one day. This one looks better. But, I think I would have to change the wheels. Too angular for my taste.
Tom, do you know if the AWD system has improved for the 2017 model? The previous generation CRV has suffered from harsh criticism regarding their AWD.
Since this new CR-V shares many components with the new Civic, ( engine, suspension, chassis, infotainment system, transmission, etc.) and since the Civic has a much worse than average repair record after one year, this is not a vehicle that I would get. I was thinking about trading in my 2013 Accord, but no more.
The 2017 CR-V has a highest repair rate per 100 on TrueDelta surveys.
First time I have seen double exhaust no the CRV, more tailpipe means better fuel efficiency and make the car look more appealing and sexy.
Also, the CRV wieghs 56 LBS less.
I believe the 1.5 190 HP engine will get 28 city and 36 Highway for the 2WD version and 26-33 for the 4WD version, that's my prediction.
The 2.4 184 HP engine should get 26-32 Highway for with the 2WD, same with the outgoing model and 25-31 for the 4WD version.
CRV cannot by any definition be called a 'small' SUV.
You think that right up till you pull up alongside a Range Rover or Hilux.
celt67 well dah they're 7 seaters SUV like the pilot
Since Mazda released their 2017 model last night at the LA Auto Show - what's everyone's opinion between the two? Pros/Cons
I saw both in person tonight and the CRV is much nicer. I own a new Miata and an odyssey. So I'm not necessarily partial to a brand.
it looks awesome,I'm looking forward to the import to Taiwan,we always wait for a long time for Taiwan's honda to lead in new generation cars...
The front fascia looks a like the 3rd gen CR-V. Having nearly identical power with the non-turbo is kinda pointless to me.

cadsux you're forgetting that the 1.5 turbo engine will have better fuel economy numbers
If driven conservatively, that is. I've owned turbos, so I know. It's more for weight savings & emissions. I still prefer naturally aspirated. Per CR, those engines are generally more reliable than turbos.
well Honda has a good track record when it comes to reliability so im not to worried about it , so far im pretty happy with the engine choice
Yes, Mr. Muchler mentioned that at the beginning. Still a yawn for me. Offer the SI's engine, or the corporate V6, and now we're talking! Why should the Civic or the RDX have all the fun?
cadsux
BSM, it's about damn time Honda.
Doesn't even make sense. Why wouldn't you quote the torque figures, especially since immediately after mentioning the horsepower you mention that the new engine makes more torque than the previous.
That's a bad ass ride
Hows this compared to the cx5 overall like with tech, safety tech, comfort and handling
The 2017 CX-5 looks sportier/better but its slightly smaller and the CR-V gets a turbo. I doubt the CX-5 gets a turbo. It will be the same engine as last year.
when will your snow awd review come agasit the subaru foresters. since it has a new system
How is the ride comfort? My current 2013 CRV is too tight..!!
The 2018 Equinox 1.5 TAWD is $21K on cars dot com where the CR-V is $5,000 more at $26K. Not sure if it is worth $5,000 than the Chevy but the bank set Honda residuals won't catch that discount within a lease period. The older CR-V L 2.4l AWD is still $2,000 more expensive with lower output engine and less features that the 2018 Equinox 1.5T AWD.
Rod Daniels It is comfortable! I bought one.
In the video, the presenter incorrectly states that the EX-L trim adds a power liftgate. This feature only comes with the Touring trim. news.honda.com/newsandviews/article.aspx?id=9272-en
zroger73 I have the EX-L and it has the power liftgate. You can't open mine by waving your foot underneath it like you can on the Touring, though.
would be nice if it has heated steering wheel
And Honda fixed the vibration problems?
atticstattic hopefully yes; vibration was caused by the previous engine- now they have a turbo
Yup
atticstattic yeah, Fucking vibration when engine is on idle is so annoying, feels a bit like a massage chair
Eddie 🤣😂
This has idle vibrations.
Not a fan of the redesign. the front bumper is like a swollen lip. The back resembles the Jeep Cherokee with more rear light effect. The previous looks better still. Being more bold doesn't mean better.
See I was afraid of it being a CVT, yea no thanks.
Hope this doesnt vibrate like the 15/16 model.
This new CR-V could be top of the SUV/CUV class and that means it's gonna be better than the Subaru Forester I'm curious to see reliability and how Honda improve there "Real Time AWD". hopefully Cr buys a fully loaded CR-V
Arthur Fernandes well, Subaru Forrester night redesign next year or something, we can compare then.
The CR-V is top of the class in repairs for the 2017 model according to TrueDelta data.
Tom I miss you😚
What about reverse auto braking?
I bought one!
Horsepower to curb weight tells alot. i've been trying to get curb weight for 45 minutes. why the mystery???
So, the new gen 2017 Honda CR-V, measurements (l 180.6, wb 104.7, w 73, weight 3307-3512), overall nice redesign, but did they go far enough, just look how much Chevy/GM did for the redesign (next gen) Equinox, note, no hybrid like the Toyota Rava4 or diesel like the next gen Chevy Equinox, curious, no, 2.0 I4 turbo, Honda should be paying closer attention to the new gen Equinox, why you ask, because this is the 1st truly compact Equinox Chevy has done (Equinox was previously a midsize CUV, with compact prices), yes, Chevy offer compact CUVs before, either through fleets sells (Chevrolet Captiva or used to be 2nd gen Saturn Vue) or remember the HHR, that's it folks, as for why no I4 turbo, I’m guessing, we will soon see the next gen Acura RDX, so if the CR-V doesn't have a 2.0 I4 turbo, one has to believe the RDX will be getting this engine, is it safe too assume the RDX will be losing it V6, with these 2 redesign (Honda CR-V and Chevy Equinox) the CUV compact market is making life hard for compact/midsize sedans
Not crazy about those saw tooth allow wheels.
just get aftermarkets.
That's possible but costly.
I want one! but I also want a Ridgeline! but I also want to save money ;(
I believe the style and design is being led by Hyundai and Kia. That being said, general dimensions are much better than the old one. Rear end looks over-designed.
agreed, but when it comes down to resale value korean brands still suffer... so we all end up in boring styled cars in the end 😭
damn....why honda crv not use engine 1800cc with turbo?
looks better than the toyota rav4, but the xtrail looks best
It looks decent and comes with good built quality associated with Hondas. But those wheels are absolutely AWFUL.
I'm happy with this New Honda CRV 👍🏽💯
Looks like a bigger version of the HRV from the front.
Anyone know the length dimension to this CRV?
The rear of the CR-V stopped looking good after the 3rd generation
CR-V :- Consumer reports Vehicle?
Comment of the year!
This guy looks like he's going to cry at any moment.
1:35 "chunks of wood trim" Um, no. Its either plastic or aluminum I cant tell, but this trim never came off a living tree thats for sure.
How do you people like this? It's hideous. Why is it so angry? it's an econobox. It doesn't need to try to look or be sporty. CVT is garbage.
Looks like a Tucson.
Why are you looking at the camera while driving? Keep your eyes on the road at all times. It reminds me of people who unwisely look at their passenger while talking.
I must admit Honda is REALLLYYY stingy on their features on the lower and mid trims! U also get stuck with ugly wheels that look like they r from the 90's
DoubleD 613 yup those steel wheels on the low trim models are gross
DoubleD 613 the CRV in this video has some pretty hideous rims as well eh?
DoubleD 613
My understanding is they finally dumped those ugly 80s steelies for the base model vehicles.

No panoramic roof option?
it comes with panoramic moonroof in canada
Canada has it. US may get it in the future.
This crv is not an SUV anymore, it's a hatchback...
Basic price with turbo will be 30+K gross prices
Ulieq wrong
they take away the seat pocket behind driver's seat
Test drove Ex-L....road noise is prominent, suspension is jittery, not a pleasurable experience...PASS
