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!!

[@Drive_Culture]

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.

[@tigerskone2945]

They got you still with that dealer markup Same one here was msrp sticker $39k and I got mine for $37k.

[@tiwanbarnes519]

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)

[@mattb6999]

Great info, nice audio and cadence. It was a pleasure to listen to

[@Drive_Culture]

Wow! Thanks for the comment & feedback! Hopefully you’ll come back for more 👍🏾

[@rickytecon5726]

I've had one for about 3 months. Getting about 43
city mpg using regenerated braking. Rides smooth and quiet. Good power too.

[@Drive_Culture]

Thanks for the comment & feedback! Congrats on the new ride, what color combo did you get?

[@rickytecon5726]

Urban gray

[@shannonchandler30]

@rickytecon5726 do you use the b mode on the highway

[@shannonchandler30]

Do you use b mode on the highway

[@rickytecon5726]

@@shannonchandler30 no. I use economy. about 35 mpg on hwy.

[@MdShakib-ss7dn]

Enjoyed a nice video

[@Drive_Culture]

Thanks for the comment! Tell us what you enjoyed most!

[@mdziaur2572]

Really love this video

[@Drive_Culture]

Thanks for the feedback! What do you like about the video?

[@peterf90]

Great review! Looks like a very nice vehicle.

[@Drive_Culture]

Thanks for the comment and feedback!

[@eddiec30]

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

[@Drive_Culture]

Totally agree, thanks for the feedback!

[@chandraalley1421]

Loved seeing how much room is in the back seat and in the storage area! For families this is definitely a big deal!👍

[@Drive_Culture]

Thanks so much for the comment & feedback! More videos to come, hope you continue to watch! 👍🏾

[@tiwanbarnes519]

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!!!

[@Drive_Culture]

Thanks for the comment & feedback! It really is a great all around car! Congrats!

[@edt4560]

I thought the L hybrid came with the Bose system?

[@user-mp5lv6yl1f]

That's great video

[@Drive_Culture]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@tiwanbarnes519]

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....

[@Drive_Culture]

Thanks for the comment & feedback! Yes, the 8 speaker system is good. I love listening to great stereos!

[@willowood67]

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! 🙂

[@Drive_Culture]

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.

[@emilcasas2707]

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.

[@Drive_Culture]

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!

[@michaelrice6729]

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.

[@Drive_Culture]

Thanks for the comment & feedback! What color did you go with?

[@JayZJay7]

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.

[@Drive_Culture]

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.

[@willowood67]

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.

[@corlisso.4710]

Interesting about the humming sound regulation!

[@Drive_Culture]

Thanks for the comment! Yeah glad to share insights like that.

[@user-to3tb9mn4e]

Keep it up

[@Drive_Culture]

Thank you, new videos will post every Friday!

[@MdRaj-lc4nv]

Wonderful car

[@Drive_Culture]

Thanks for the comment, what’s your favorite thing about the CR-V?

[@odiaz25]

I want it !

[@Drive_Culture]

Thanks for the comment! You and me both!

[@TerrelLism]

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.

[@Drive_Culture]

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.

[@mdfahan6106]

Awesome

[@Drive_Culture]

Thanks for the comment!

[@prm5798]

I wish the new CRV would have a step through middle console, between the front seats like the 3rd gen and before CRV’s

[@Drive_Culture]

Thanks for the comment! That’s great feedback, it definitely would add extra usability to an already great CUV!

[@chilaesso]

nice looking car

[@Drive_Culture]

Thanks for the comment!

[@Baron1975]

Averaging 37 mpg with mine. 2023 sport L.

[@Drive_Culture]

Thanks for the comment! What color did you go with?

[@nirmalsingh2094]

37.5 me

[@ws3407]

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

[@Drive_Culture]

Thanks for the comment & feedback! I think the white is going to look great! Let us know once you finally take delivery!

[@dogshmog]

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.

[@Drive_Culture]

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!

[@Startupradio]

Nice Car Model

[@Drive_Culture]

Thank you!

[@unikornkontroller]

Keep hearing about active grille shutters freezing up on different makes. I hope this isn't an issue here.

[@Drive_Culture]

Thanks for the comment & feedback! I haven’t heard of that issue on the CR-V Hybrids. What vehicle makes have had that problem?

[@unikornkontroller]

@@Drive_Culture The new Tacomas.

[@LeonEaves-qr5hz]

0 to 60. Very good. What is it?

[@Drive_Culture]

Thanks for the comment! Honda doesn’t quote a 0-60mph time, but I’d say it’s mid 7 secs in Sport mode?

[@MdMitha-nj2vb]

Nothing to say Just wow

[@Drive_Culture]

Thanks for the comment!

[@LeonEaves-qr5hz]

I hear a lot of noise.

[@Drive_Culture]

Thanks for the comment. Noise from the mic or car?

[@agak61]

Car ;)

[@Latayjah]

It’s should of been three seats

[@Drive_Culture]

Thanks for the comment & feedback! Do you mean 3 rows of seats?

[@jazzminenelson7193]

1.5 liter or 2? If 1.5 no thanks

[@Drive_Culture]

Thanks for the comment! The hybrid has a naturally aspirated Atkinson 2 liter paired with the electric motors.

[@user-pp1mq6bt4t]

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.

[@Drive_Culture]

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!

[@user-pp1mq6bt4t]
