- The CR-V is all new for 2023 and Honda is bringing the fight to the competition. On the outside you will discover all new sheetmetal. wheels, and lighting. On the inside there is more room, a 9in infotainment system, and leather seats. Under the hood is a 2.0L inline-4 that is paired to and electric motor.

Here before he edits the title to say Honda CR-V . He wrote Hyundai CR-V! 😂😂
Yeah, I had to do a double take lmao.
Still hasn’t changed the title on the tundra video lol
Same lol
Now i see why this honda has the exhausts in the front bumper cause its a Hyundai CR-V
Yes
Can't wait for the Honda Elantra review
I test drove one of these. My findings were as follows;
Pros
1. The Wireless Android Auto worked FLAWLESSLY!
2. The drive & handling were good, even sporty for a hybrid.
3. The interior was well done. My test model had the gray interior which is lighter and looks nicer, in my opinion & should be cooler in the summer.
4. QUIET. Almost TOO quiet, but I liked it.
5. Remote start.
6. Hands-free lift gate.
Cons
1. No fog lights. It seemed dark to me. I test drove it at night & my 2017 Lexus with fog lights appears MUCH brighter & visibility is SO much better.
2. No ventilated seats. Come on Honda! At this price!?
3. Having the battery take up room where the spare tire normally goes is a poor design choice. Plus, the back area leading into the folded down seats had a "hump" as the result of this design.
4. Although the interior LOOKS cool with the open design in the dash board where the vents are, all those little holes are going to collect dust and be difficult to clean.
5. The infotainment center still looks outdated. It's from the 2019-2022 CR-V, Passport & Pilot and is VERY drab and dark. I found it to be dreary.
6. This thing is OVERPRICED!!! Honda has the MSRP at $39,100. However, Honda dealers around the country are claiming to no longer charge a "Market Adjustment" but instead are NOW charging $2,995 for (a) all weather mats (b) window etching & (c) a 3 year maintenance package. After this "package", doc fees, tax, title & license, PLUS destination charges, this puts this vehicle out the door at $47,229.47!!!!!!
thanks for sharing
I’ll stick to my 2000 crv 😅
You can easy add $20,000 . I like the heated steering wheel.
@@gerardoesparza8650 2004 owner over here 🤣
Bruh...where do you live? I got mine at msrp. Only add on I had was weather mats and all that for $600. Total for me was 37k out the door for the hybrid sport.
Raiti, I just want to tell you that in my opinion you are the best car reviewer. I appreciate you and your wifes hard work. It will pay off for you even more soon, and you two deserve it. I know it doesn't mean much coming from me, but I just wanted you to know your content is appreciated.
Alo not to knock the CR-V, but the Tuscon looks beautiful up close in real life.
🙌 Agreed!!
No doubt, he is the undisputed champion of vehicle reviews! No one comes close. The Tom Brady of car reviewers - GOAT.
I always wanna see Raiti’s Version of the Reviews……..Its just More fun, More Happy
The great thing about this review channel is there is no holding back , like or dislike. Just pure real honesty . So much I’m surprised some makers would rather he didn’t review their vehicles lol
Thanks for letting me share them all with you. In the end the CR-V is still a good SUV.
Gotta love the Zonk
Only OGs know the original title was the Hyundai CR-V.
Still is
😂
“Is the Hyundai CR-V a BETTER compact SUV to BUY than Hyundai Tucson”
I was there.
I went to the Hyundai Dealer trying to get my CRV without luck😅
Gonna Zonk the lack of some kind of fog lighting. they should have placed them in those extra trapazoid style vents. I agree on the framing around the windows too. I hate the rear wiper there too on everyone's models lol! Orange stitching around the rest of the trim would give it more pop/, looks dull.vented seats = Zonk and what the actual F__k is with that recline latch position control up around the back- Zonk.
Hey Raiti, love your reviews, best channel. Spring of 2022 I purchased a 2022 crv Black Edition. I was going to wait for the new redesign model and I'm actually glad I didn't. Still no ventilated seats in a top trim in their best seller is a huge zonk for me. I'm just not digging the new one. I love my 22. Also my rear doors open 90⁰ and I have 19 inch wheels lol. But being the Black Edition I do have the panoramic sunroof. I think the Black Edition is exclusive to Canada tho. Thanks
I own a 2023 CRV Hybrid Sport AWD which is the model below the Sport Touring. I really like it so far- had it for about a month. Was more affordable by several thousand $$ vs Sport Touring. I’m getting 38.5-40.5mpg in Atlanta rush hour traffic with mix of city and highway driving. It is quick enough to easily merge into traffic and it is very smooth and very comfortable. One point I wanted to make that I felt was a bit misrepresented in this review (I really enjoy Raiti’s rides reviews) is that this hybrid uses an eCVT which is a different animal from a traditional CVT. I think it’s worth distinguishing between the two given their differences which are worth looking into.
Thanks for sharing that great insight into your ownership experience Don!
Hi I live in NYC and am thinking of buying the sport hybrid. Are you really happy with purchase? I sit in traffic alot, waste a lot of gas, and a looking at the hybrid. How is the stereo system in the sport? Is it good? Thanks
@@greggf6831 Hi, so far I'm really happy with it. I'm now getting over 41mpg (I've calculated this in addition to what the computer tells me I'm getting). It is smooth, quiet and comfortable. It took a few weeks to get used to the engine being off at the stop lights and even sometimes at cruising speed, but now that I'm used to it, I appreciate that I'm not wasting all that gas like I used to. I had a small truck previously that was getting me 16-17mpg (due to my having to stop and go constantly on my commute). The stereo is 240 watts/6 speakers. I would say it is pretty decent - it is louder and clearer than I was expecting it to be - just doesn't hit you with a lot of base. Of course it's not as good as the Bose, but it does sound fine. The only thing I do wish it had that it doesn't is wireless apple car play - not a huge deal as I just plug it in and it works fine. Also, I will add that the display is pretty clear and pretty responsive to inputs. Overall, I'm very happy and now have 1300 miles on it with no issues. The biggest initial concern for me was not having a spare tire which was almost a deal breaker, but it seems that a lot of manufacturers are heading in that direction. I found a spare kit online (pretty expensive) that I'm probably going to get should I take the car on a long trip. Hope that helps.
@@donwright3338 thanks for the info i appreciate it
i love your reviews .. thank you.. could you include a quick driver seat measurement ( depth and width) and hand palm push in the cushion.. so we can get a feeling for the roominess and firmness .. for us this is a very important consideration
Totally agree with you on the Tuscon sticking a tablet in front of the steering wheel I totally hate that
Let me get this right..In the Tuscon, I get panoramic roof, ventilated seats, 360 camera, smart park, bigger infotainment screen, digital dash, digital key, ambient lighting, blindspot camera, and a 6spd automatic for $1000 less than the Honda CR-V? Why would I even bother to settle for CR-V, if I can get more for less vs less for more money? 🤔
You didn’t mention the longer Hyundai warranty
@@2004cyrus You're right, but that's a given.
Test drove the Tucson and it was nice but slower and was not as refined. Some would say that a ten year warranty is nice, because you're going to need it. We had a Santa Fe for 10+ years and it held up reasonably well. They had engine issues and now they say that using a quart of oil between changes is normal🤨 That was within the 10 yr warranty...
@@2004cyruswarranty isn't longer anymore
Great job Joe! 👏 can't wait for an update on the live q and A! No rush we know your a busy man Joe! 👍 LSO, I'm glad Hyundai got rid of the black cladding around the fender openings lol. Looks like it copies off of the Honda CRVs style and they're not into geometry anymore...hmmmmmm..lol 😆
Nice review. It would be nice to get the AC coming out of the seats as well. I especially appreciate your guidance on how much fast food I can jam into the CVR, as well as the best places to keep it.
That was one of the negatives that steered me away from the CRV was that at this price point it didn't even come with cooling seats...
@@chriskelly509congratulations 🙄
Joe, I agreed about the rear wiper, it is in the way
Joe, this CRB looks good I feel like this was a dandy and the center vents look great.
Thanks Joe……been waiting for this one. May need a second local driven vehicle with good mpg. I like it !
I like the way they did the vents I also like Honda the way they did the whole outside of the vehicle and I love the way you show all the details
Great Review!!! Thank u
I have a CR-V Sport AWD. The most important thing is it drive like a Honda. Good chasis ,suspension and handling. It performs better than my 8th Civic in city and highway.
Great review as always!
You do great reviews Joe! Why did Honda have an LED rear turn signal in the last generation CR-V, but went back to that old looking bulb for the new gen?? A
The boomerang trim on the front end is reminiscent of the Type R. Definitely ED-209 vibes from the front exhaust ports. Should br easy enough to paint those black. I don’t think fogs are necessary anymore now that adaptive lights are coming to the US. Those right angle rear doors are for loading kids and car seats, have been on CRVs at least from the last gen.
I drove past one earlier, man it looks nice in black. The previous looks nice & drives nice but THIS o man, it doesn’t look soccer momish❤
I purchased my first hybrid and first suv I ever purchased, which was crv sport hybrid touring in january. I honestly don't have any complaints with it. The car drives well, gas mileage is great. There are some stuff I really didn't care having, which were sunroof, heated seat and the heated steering wheel. I was hoping for a fog lights at that "extra" vent area. I do agree with you on the plastic trims. I really don't dig it. Anyways, at the days end, I love my crv.
That is so wonderful to hear that it is going well.
im more so a sedan driver but considering this CR-V when my Sonata lease is up in a yr. not too big not too small. i actually work for a VW dealership and it feels a bit nice driving a little higher off the ground when driving a Tiguan. so you'd think i want a Tiguan R-Line haha. but i think id prefer a Honda. do you think it looks "sporty" enough?
@DeadlySwords8 @DeadlySwords8 i am same as you. I prefer sedans over suv. I never thought I would even purchase an suv. No. I don't think it is sporty. Even though the name of the trim has "sport," I would never think the car is sporty. It's roomy, comfortable, and quiet (as long as you drive like a "hybrid" driver).
Like the new styling & that new color. Would def black out those aluminum pieces on the front lower bumper & black out the side window trim since the wheels, mirrors, etc. are black
What is with the missing storage pocket behind the driver seat in these Honda vehicles is this their way of cutting cost 🙄
Great Review. Just rented a car in NYC from Budget LaGuardia Airport for this week spring break, they have brand new CR-V hybrid 2023's. I'm so glad enjoying this 40k car in the Pocono Mountains Pennsylvania. Kids are happy, wife is happy and obviously I'm a happy camper.
It’s really a letdown that Honda didn’t put full LED all around. The front they did the rear no. Last generation you got full LED headlights and taillights no matter what trim you went for. Scratching my head on that one. In my opinion I like the last generation more then this one
The last generation looked a lot like the Old-People-Mover that the Top Gear guys made.
They realized that was way to boujie for a crv so they went back to halogen for the rear. They needed to save the all around LEDs for the next gen RDX
Chip shortage. I'd look at every feature and see what could be held off. The 23 CRV does a good job in deciding what's needed the most. A smaller screen and analog speedometer are not deal-breakers. The return of the drive selector handle is okay. I miss the pushbuttons a little. Many hate those. The HUD is unnecessary, IMHO, as speedometer and digital numeric readouts both exist.
If anything, why the navigation panel lacks an adjustable incline - it's perpendicular to the dash - is questionable, but is not major.
That said why the CRV has halogen turn signals and not LED - that's the only headscratcher.
Last gen was definitely not all LED everywhere. No idea on the little lights but headlights were only LED in the touring model. EXL didn’t get them.
@@Ryan-de9ox last generation you got LED turn signals front and rear and LED taillights. You didn’t get LED headlights depending on the trim. You still got halogen headlights if you got a lower trim
Love the channel!! 🤘😎🤘
This vehicle looks fantastic and, I agree, the color is beautiful! I’m really surprised Honda opted to not include front ventilated seats or a heads-up display on this trim. Other than that, looks like a home runs! Great review! Thanks!!
or at least some fogs! Thought that would at least be an automatic ha.

I've had this exact model except in Urban Grey Pearl for about 3 weeks. Perfect? No of course not. But my dealer could tell me what stock they were expecting, gave me MSRP plus a few add ons (floor mats, splash guards, paint protection film). This CRV is amazingly quiet, comfortable and a pleasure to drive. I'm only at 400 miles, so true MPG will come out in a few months. I do wish for a panoramic sunroof and ventilated seats. No real needs for fog lights as the LEDs are amazing. I thought about a RAV4, but inventory was next to none and they couldn't tell me when they would have inventory and wanted to go over the MSRP!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one.
One review said that MPG plummets after 65mph. That's true for any vehicle after a point, but many are saying 40mpg combined can be reached if one isn't gunning it and stays at the highway speed limit if 65 or less.
I know you did a review on the mazda cx 50 Turbo Premium Plus, would you pick Mazda or this one? Mazda is a few thousand more but has ventilated seats, and a panoramic, heads-up display. CRV is more comfortable in my opinion, hybrid, with more storage room, the interior is ok....less money but not as much...any help? I do like both, Mazda you get more, but CRV is a hybrid...uhh I am confused
As far as fog lamps, I feel like headlight technology has gotten so good with LED and laser that they're not really necessary anymore. I drive a G20 3-series with laser headlights and want for nothing. They're amazing and I can't see fogs providing any extra.
@raiti will you be able to review the sport hybrid so we could see the difference?
Fog lights would have been nice in those two slots up front.
You do the best reviews out of anyone on all the vehicles.
That really means the world man!
@RaitisRides I'm glad it does because I watch as many of your videos as possible on all the different vehicles. So far my favorite 2 vehicles are the 2023 Honda Hr-v and the 2023 Honda Civic but is it true that the 2023 Honda civic doesn't have blind spot monitoring?
Hey Joe, I would love for you to review the rave4 prime 2023. Nice review Joe as always.
What is name of the color? I got the meteorite gray in EX-L since that is all they had available, but not crazy about the color. I wish they would have more colors available and in stock when I purchased in December 2022!
They need to add an option to black out the two vents on the front.
And the bar between them
Having a 2023 Tucson Hybrid SEL, I will tell you it runs and drives amazing. I am a big Honda fan and when I was car shopping, the Honda's were being marked up over MSRP and Hyundai worked with me on $1K below MSRP. The big things I love about the Tucson is the handling, acceleration and panoramic sunroof. It does have a ton of cheap looking plasitic on the exterior, which im not crazy about. Sport mode is where it's at. I need to swing by Honda and take this for a spin though, to do a better comparison. Both vehicles seem like great values. I do love the Tucson Hybrid, though.... I find I really enjoy driving it and it's very tight. Looking forward to driving the CR-V Hybrid though. Great video, Raiti! Keep em comin'
Thanks for sharing your ownership experience.
never heard of a Hyundai CR-V! great combo and review!
*I NEVER KNEW THAT Hyundai MAKES THE CR- V?!!!!!!*
Needs a panoramic roof and ventilated seats. Otherwise looks pretty good.
I ordered one back in October and still haven’t gotten it, it finally got built a few weeks ago and will get to pick it up within a few more weeks.
That is wonderful congrats!
Awesome review 👍🏽 I'm a Honda guy Joe, Hyundai is doing a fine job with their vehicle, but I have a good history with Honda's, so the CR-V is a winner
When you stand close to the front the Honda emblem looks 3D. Love acceleration, handling and mileage.
From the side looks just like baby XC90. I still love my 2021 Touring. Thanks Joe for vid!
I don't think it needs fog lamps with such bright headlamps. Also, I personally like those front vents.
Fog lights are designed to be low down so not to cause reflected fog glare from headlights.
Great review but when you include the destination fee + markups for all sport utilities it becomes " unobtainable" We love your humor 👍
That really depends on the dealership and state you are in.
Enjoy the reviews. The hybrid is not a CVT transmission though it may act very similar.
I love it Joe and Lori and keep up the great work real true and I love the video 👏 👍 💯💯💯
Thanks for letting us bring it to you!
Mr. Raiti scolded Honda engineers like they were 5 years old. “Don’t do that.” 😂😂
Hello! I am wondering if there is cruise control and if there is a spare tire in the trunk?
There is cruise control and there is no spare.
One cool thing you didn't mention was the cool Hybrid badge next to the steering wheel that you see at 11:04. :o
What up Joe? Is it just me or is it really a Hyundai. Definitely looks like a Honda for me. 🤔
Nice review, thanks! I ordered meteorite gray but that dark blue is also a winner.
The lack of fog lights is annoying, but there are debates on their efficacy anyhow. If they come back, I'd probably splurge.
Are there screw-in Amber turn signal LED bulbs? That won't improve battery usage, but it would be consistent. Why the mishmash between incandescent (or halogen?) and LED anyhow?
Mine came in. The color looks great and even looks dark blue from on sunny days.
It drives like a dream. Smooth, tighter steering than on the Accord, very few complaints that matter beyond aesthetics (e.g. smaller LCD panel, which also doesn't show the distance to the vehicle in front of you being my only real gripe.)
The design is “okay”. Gonna zonk those exhaust looking vents in the front. I also wish they would have integrated the infotainment screen a bit more into the dash. I do like the more “aggressive” overall look, but looks more like a Toyota Rav4 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️. Other than that, i like interior . Nice to see a shifter return. I liked the center console storage of the previous generation more. Also gonna zonk no convenient back seat handles (like in previous gen CRV). Thanks again Joe for your superb reviews. BTW not a fan of Tucson but i dig the new Santa Fe (calligraphy trim).
Where did you get those shoes?
Hey Raiti's Rides Can You Make The 2023 Hyundai Tucson Limited
the title is confusing. it says Hyundai CR-V not Honda?
Is the interior bigger than the 2012-2016 model?
I’m likin that color also they should had added led fog lights
i got the exl model a month ago and it’s 🔥🔥
It cost money to put the wiper to the top and because they sometimes do these vehicles on the same line in the factory so they would have to make different parts and that cost money then do all the same and safe money.
Is it possible to turn Display OFF on Honda Infotainment System and keep it OFF next time car is turned on. If not are there any software hacks available to accomplish this or perhaps another infotainment system that may have this feature of keeping display OFF by default
I bought a Honda CRV hybrid sports touring. If you're considering the Honda CRV hybrid, think twice before you spend $44,000 on this car. Despite the sleek looks, the hybrid version falls short on mileage, providing only 26 mpg. In addition, the sensors in my car stopped working just after a week, despite resetting them multiple times. This has caused significant safety concerns, as the lane change and wiper sensors often fail to work, leaving me stranded in the middle of a drive. Even the lights are practically inefficient in the dark or rain, making it difficult to drive safely. It seems that Honda prioritized the exterior design of the car and jacked up the price without focusing on the car's functional features. What's worse, if you add even a bit of extra weight, the car starts to make a loud rumbling noise and the engine struggles to move the car forward. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere for a reliable and safe car.
What horse racing track is this?
I can’t for the life of me figure out why their smaller HRV doesn’t come in a hybrid option. I’ve had every Honda ever made since 2008 including the truck, van, cars, and the SUV’s except the Pilot. But the pilot is basically the Ridgeline anyways so…My only gripe is I wish they would have dropped the center screen down about 3 inches. I don’t like them sticking up above the dash. But maybe it works better that way. I’ll have to drive one to see. Hybrid all the way. But my next one may be the Tucson mainly because of the warranty. I usually replace all my vehicles every 3 years anyways so. Which is more comfortable?
Simple, to upsell you to the more expensive CR-V. Notice they don't sell their hybrids in their lower trims
It's all about $$$$$
The HR-V will get a hybrid soon, they already announced that the Civic hybrid hatch is coming to the US within a year, and the HR-V is a lifted Civic.
Honda wanted 50% of sales of their core models to be hybrids, so the HR-V will get it.
@@Fadic4 hrv is a lifted fit. The crv is a lifted civic
@@cl2870 Not the case anymore, HR-V is based on the same platform as the Civic,CR-V and Accord, but the HR-V is more closely related to the Civics version of the platform, at least that’s my understanding of it.
@@cl2870 That used to be the case. It isn't anymore and the HR-V grew a lot in this generation. In fact it is now the same length as my 2012 CRV, though much less cargo space
The problem in Canada we only have the CRV touring as Hybrid trim … we have to pay more than 50k Canadian money to get an hybrid… it doesn’t make sens ! The 2L natural aspirated engine with hybrid tech makes a lot of sens. Honda Canada has made a poor decision to not get the sport hybrid. Is it the same in other countries than Canada ? Is the hybrid sport trim exclusive for USA ?
I’d say maybe but I’m still not sure, on the other note this one is looking good. The color of the suv with those black rims is 🔥
how does Honda eliminate the fog lights
When you leaned back and talked about the cookie cake I just sat in my car laughing 😂 great job
I wish this had the same infotainment as the 23 Accord Touring does
Joe u mean Honda cr v in title 😆
Lmaoo lets see if he notices! 😅 love the content as always🙏
It has some zonks but in general it is a pretty nice vehicle for daily driving.
I am torn between this and CX 50. Any advice please 🙏 Mazda has everything I want except a hybrid, CRV has a hybrid but it's missing a panoramic, heads-up display, and ventilated seats.
Mazda is coming out with a cx50 hybrid at the end of the year. They are going to use the Toyota hybrid engine. You might want to wait for one of these. It will be built in the joint Toyota/Mazda plant in Alabama.
My Sport Touring just started being built today (Meteorite Gray Metallic). I have ventilated seats in my current vehicle, but the CR-V not having them was not a deal breaker. Neither was no panoramic sunroof...I've never had one of those and rarely ever have the sunroof shade open on sunny days because the sun is almost always shining directly in my eyes. When I test drove a Sport Touring the dealer had on the lot (the blue you reviewed), I knew it was the vehicle for me. Never had a hybrid, but coming from a vehicle that gets 19 mpg average and takes mid-grade gasoline, this CR-V hybrid is going to be a nice break for my bank account. With what I'm getting for my paid-off trade, I won't have to finance much and plan to pay it off in a year or so with a max 3-year loan.
I'm coming from a car with ventilated seat and hud. The HUD I never got used to, didn't care for the ventilated seat. But thevheated seat and steering wheel make up for it for me.
I agree. Get rid of the chrome, add hydraulic for the hood, HUD, ventilated seats, 12” screen and full digital driver like the Accord. Also, make the rear full LED. They fix all that and I’ll buy.
To all who complain about CVT please drive it first and experience it. It is nothing like a normal CVT. It’s an eCVT far superior experience much like the Toyota and Lexus hybrids also eCVT. If you compare this to normal CVT then it’s abundantly clear you haven’t a clue.
Fog lights are a must!
Crystal black or Canyon blue?
Hi Raiti,
I am writing from Canada. I am a regular viewer of this channel. I have a request for you.
Plz review Toyota Venza 2023.
Thanks
Don't get the zonk on the traditional rear glass wiper. If you hang it underneath the overhang, wipe pattern will not be as usable to the driver.
This is not true Remy.
My father in law just bought this suv. He got the sport touring. He loves his CRVS
That is so great to hear!
The Tuscon is nice but not up to the CR-V looks. The Sticker on the Hyundai was showing a 4.5k market adjustment above msrp which I found comical.
Only commenting as a heads up, not to be a hater
The sunroof should of been panoramic - the headlights are extremely bright there is no need for fog lights (the lights look similar to the ones the put in the Honda Accord 2019 model(I own and love the brightness on the lights- would like to see the screen resolution be better and also ventilated seats all included- as well as keyless go - open the door without clicking the button to unlock it plus remote start - with an option to remote start it from an app.Also, a must have is the weather mats for the floors and the trunk especially - they make cleaning up the car a breeze. Everything else looks great to me!
Lights are similar to Equinox.
Toyota throw winter mats in for free.
Great review. I like that you have a sense of humor. You should do standup:)
Why did Honda go backwards from having 4-way lumbar to only a 2-way Lumbar?
Penny pinching
Here in Mexico the most equipped is at 819,900 Mexican pesos (44,590 dollars) only the most equipped version has an autonomous security system and is not even hybrid; while other vehicles in the same segment are cheaper, have autonomous security and are hybrids, buying this vehicle in Mexico is the worst buy in the segment.
I don't know a person who has it and I haven't even seen it many times on the street
Hard to believe as described-the top model doesn’t even come with a Homelink garage door opener !
Great review, Joe, as usual. One thing, I believe, should be fixed ( typo ) the header says "Is the Hyundai CR-V..." should've been Honda ;)
He fixed it quickly
They just brought out the LX model too. That's the base model now.. LX, EX, Hybrid sport, EXL, Hybrid sport touring.
I’m a 2018 CRV Touring owner, considering a Honda Pilot Trailsport or CRV Sport Touring. I am disappointed in the flat black fenders, never liked them ever. I don’t understand why they won’t paint them body color. Not a fan of panoramic moon roofs I live in Arizona way to hot. The bumpers should also be body color. Thanks Joe for the great review!
Honestly I think the Ex-L is a better choice. The only difference is that it isn't hybrid, doesn't have a heated steering wheel and has seat-color stitching. No ventilated seats is a HUGE zonk for me, especially at the price range the touring is at. I wish there was a panoramic roof as well.
Do you have sunroof in your EX-L trim?
@@thethreatwrestling.7053ventilated seats always make me feel like I have "swamp ass". Surely you realize how much more important the hybrid engine is versus seat-color stitching and a heated steering wheel. I've never once thought it was necessary to have a heated steering wheel. Not even on the coldest of winter days.
I haven’t heard MPGs this good in a LONG time. That really surprised me ❤
Tell me about it! Honda really worked on that!
I have a 2023 CRV EX ( Non Hybrid) in suburbs of Atlanta, GA and gas mileage is about 24 MPG in city and 30 MPG in highway
Sport and touring should get 5-7 MPG more than the above.
