I just bought this exact one, same color 2 days ago!! I worked them down from 45k to 39k OTD!! so far, I'm extremely satisfied and happy with my purchase! I LOVE IT!!
Thanks for the comment & feedback! Nice work on getting a good price. It really is a great vehicle, let us know what else you considered when you were shopping around.
Did better than me... I could only get them down to $41K off the lot. (That is a lot for a CR-V, but this new generation looks and performs really well)
Great review! I bought the 2025 EX-L Hypbrid up here in Canada, 57000 cdn out the door but I added an extended warranty and a few other things so I paid more than that. I really like the car and the radiant red metallic really pops with the black accents. The car drives pretty good and it has really good clearance at 8.2 inches. I’ve gotten better than rated mpg so far with combined city and hyway driving. Lots of power for merging or passing. The tech is very nice, great infotainment screen and the vehicle feels very roomy, solid and premium. So far so good, though it was pretty expensive and there is no spare tire. I’m keeping my fingers crossed,
Wow! Thanks for the comment & feedback! Yeah Radiant Metallic is an awesome color, Congrats! Hope you continue to enjoy it! Let us know if you want to see any other trims or cars on the channel!
I have the sport l and i love it. Not getting the gas milage i thougt it would but still love the car, fantastic car all around. I would buy another one with no issue. You will not be dissapointed.
Do you live in a cold weather region? I also have one of these (purchased in Jan) and thought I would be getting closer to 40MPG but it has been cold here in the Northeast and the ICE tends to be on more often than the EV mode.
No, I’m in SoCal, so I don’t have to deal with super cold weather! I have no doubt that it impacts MPG for you. Hopefully it improves once Spring rolls in.
What mode are you driving your CRV in most of the time- B mode or D mode? Are you using sport or econ? I'm very confused on what I'm supposed to be doing.
Wow! Thanks for the nice comment & feedback! Hope you subscribed, so you can come back for more! Let us know if there’s any other vehicles you’d like to see! 👍🏾
The Sport L has a 320-watt 8 speaker system... only the Touring trim gets the Bose 12 speaker system. The 8 speaker system sounds really good, especially at less money....
I traded my FL5 for a Sport-L about a month ago. It’s not the fastest car, nor is it the best fuel miser. What it is though, is a fun to drive, spacious and economical car with all weather ability. My whole family likes it, and works well as a third car to an odyssey and f150 with our 3 kid family.
Thanks for the comment & honest feedback! I love the FL5 (if you watched my review, you’ll know), but as a family man myself, I totally respect the decision. Glad you’re enjoying the Sport-L Hybrid!
Can you discuss regenerative mode and what it means? Also is regenerative mode the same as B mode? Is B mode the most fuel efficient mode? Very confusing how to drive this car efficiently to maximize the term HYBRID. Thank you-enjoyed your tutorial. Lots more questions ALSO! 🙂
Wow! Thanks for the comment & feedback! With the Hybrid system you can take advantage of brake regen meaning as the vehicle decelerates it can put energy back into the battery which will help overall fuel efficiency. The B mode on the shifter would be used when driving on a steep decline as it helps to slow down the vehicle even further than the normal D mode. The paddles on the steering wheel also let you adjust how “aggressive” the brake regen behaves at 4 different levels.
I must say that this thing looks super nice. For what is generally considered a humdrum run-of-the-mill vehicle they have really punched above the vehicle class and I think this thing is an absolute winner. I have been considering Acura MDX/RX as well as the Lexus RX350 H. I wanted something a little more luxurious and so I had not considered Honda or Toyota at all. This vehicle has got me taking a serious look at Honda again. Thx for the review.
Thanks for the comment & detailed feedback! If you’re considering a more expensive vehicle, there’s also the Sport Touring trim that will get you even more features & technology. Let us know if you’d like us to review that trim or other vehicles!
The only thing I detest are the torpedo launchers on the higher trims. IMO, those only look good in back, in silver it just sticks out. I do overall like the styling on this generation, I'm just decided on CVT vs No CVT.
Thanks for the comment and feedback! I agree with you, I like the black accents for those front trim pieces. Let us know if you pull the trigger on one of these.
Want to buy this model. Talked to my local Honda dealer who said it would take 45-60 days to get one in. Also I want white which they said will take longer. They need to get the Canada plant to produce more
You better change your cameraman, awfull. He was filking only you, except car. You were talking about a car specifications, instead of showing a car he was showing you. Very bad, didnt like the video.
Thanks for the comment & feedback! We welcome all kinds of constructive criticism, it’s how we can make our videos better! We’ll look at focusing more on the vehicle!

the best looking one in its class. wasn't really a big fan of the previous gen design, but this one is awesome.
Totally agree, thanks for the feedback!

Loved seeing how much room is in the back seat and in the storage area! For families this is definitely a big deal!👍
Thanks so much for the comment & feedback! More videos to come, hope you continue to watch! 👍🏾
I bought this exact color and trim in January. We love it!!! The only other thing I would want is the Bose sound system, but this system pumps, too!!!
Thanks for the comment & feedback! It really is a great all around car! Congrats!
I thought the L hybrid came with the Bose system?
The Sport L has a 320-watt 8 speaker system... only the Touring trim gets the Bose 12 speaker system. The 8 speaker system sounds really good, especially at less money....
Thanks for the comment & feedback! Yes, the 8 speaker system is good. I love listening to great stereos!
Enjoyed a nice video

Interesting about the humming sound regulation!
Thanks for the comment! Yeah glad to share insights like that.
I wish the new CRV would have a step through middle console, between the front seats like the 3rd gen and before CRV’s
Thanks for the comment! That’s great feedback, it definitely would add extra usability to an already great CUV!

That's great video
Thanks for the feedback!
Keep it up
Thank you, new videos will post every Friday!
Averaging 37 mpg with mine. 2023 sport L.
Thanks for the comment! What color did you go with?
37.5 me
Wonderful car
Thanks for the comment, what’s your favorite thing about the CR-V?
good looking car
Thanks, what do you like best about the CR-V?
nice looking car
Thanks for the comment!
Keep hearing about active grille shutters freezing up on different makes. I hope this isn't an issue here.
Thanks for the comment & feedback! I haven’t heard of that issue on the CR-V Hybrids. What vehicle makes have had that problem?
@@Drive_Culture The new Tacomas.
Nice Car Model
Thank you!
I want it !
Thanks for the comment! You and me both!
Awesome
Thanks for the comment!
0 to 60. Very good. What is it?
Thanks for the comment! Honda doesn’t quote a 0-60mph time, but I’d say it’s mid 7 secs in Sport mode?
Nothing to say Just wow
Thanks for the comment!
1.5 liter or 2? If 1.5 no thanks
Thanks for the comment! The hybrid has a naturally aspirated Atkinson 2 liter paired with the electric motors.
It’s should of been three seats
Thanks for the comment & feedback! Do you mean 3 rows of seats?
I hear a lot of noise.
Thanks for the comment. Noise from the mic or car?
Car ;)
