I did my best to cut this video down as much a possible but it’s still a lengthy one! Happy to answer any further questions here ☺️
What was the economy like? I'd imagine the real world mpg was way better than plug in hybrids
Honda are going to price themselves out of the market
Isn’t every manufacturer pricing themselves beyond what the average punter can afford?
@@davidmehlhorn726honda.more so
a bit like blackberry did
Great video Trish, thank you. Two of the best cars I have ever owned were Honda and being in the market for a new car have looked at buying another Honda but the price for Civic, ZRV and CRV are just totally unaffordable!
Well done for being the first in the UK to review this car!!
Great review. Honda seem to be killing it at the moment, their interiors are a massive upgrade. Shame the prices are going crazy
Just wanted to say I really enjoy your video reviews by the way. Very well presented and edited 😊
Love the confidence & energy in your review👍Tish...
Thanks a ton
Lovely looking car but the pricing totally unrealistic. The introduction of the ZR-V and the pricing of that has meant this has been priced higher. But look at the price of this in the US and China. Honda are looking to make huge profit on this but I don't think sales will be that great when people compare what else you can get for the same price. I feel a reality check on pricing may be on the way in 2024!
@@VRJA-ds5pt Which is a shame as their product has great potential but it has been woefully marketed in Europe for several years now. The new CR-V looks great but I fear they may price themselves out of the UK market.
It’s the same as it’s competitors, have you seen the price of a Kia Sorento now 😂
@@oliverstemp9132 Although that has 7 seats...
Best selling suv allready

Price is crazy
great review, well edited video too!
Much appreciated! I wanted to add some graphics too but it already took me 2 hours to export this one 🥹
@@AutoSocialUK the perfectionist in you! Honestly, great work 😄😃
Nice video tish think this crv looks amazing dont mind the side reflectors on the front and looks good in white with the black wheels enjoy watching your vids keep up the good work x 🙂
Thank you kindly
Hello Tish. Beautiful presentation. Honda, a prestigious brand characterized by reliability. Compared to the previous model, it approaches a design for the family. The old model seemed more sporty. I appreciate the ergonomics of the interior and the engine, but also the white color that makes you visible on the road both during the day but also at night. Special model.
You are the first to review the new CRV in the UK so well done. What is the electric battery size?
I am still rocking the 2020 CRV EX Hybrid and the only feature I wish it had from this new model are those retractable rear seats! Would love to have a snooze in the back once in a while.
I do like the look of the front - not sure about the interior and especially not the new arm rest compartment. USBC ports would be nice.
Price tag is madness.
For the first time since the very first generation CR-V, a very simple, boxy, no-frills, light off-roader design. A departure from the curvy, playful, mom-mobile designs that came after that.
How does it compare to the Mazda cx60? Asking as i already bought the new cx60. Should i have waited?
As usual a cracking presentation Tish. Some improvements (physical controls) some not so good but the sting is in the price. I pretty good car let down by the RRP. I'll pass on a new one but in a year or so I might consider a used exam[le if I could justify it. Many thanks for sharing.
this woman did a really great job reviewing this auto, well done
The main issue is how you gonna clean the dirt and debris falling behind the honeycomb grill?
Is the dashboard digital?
I’ve been waiting for the hybrid to get me out of my Tiguan. The price is a bit squeaky though, especially in the current economy
Car 🚗 that comes with Tish is my dream car❤!😉
The old CRV was massive already and now it's even bigger! I'd be pretty nervous going down a country lane in one of these
there's is not a big difference in width or height or length to the outgoing CRV, I own the mk5 CRV from 2020, never has felt like a big car to drive the height sometimes makes parking an issue as you cannot see bollards and barriers. I wont be upgrading to the new CRV its too expensive for one and I am not yet into embracing Hybrids with CVT automatic transmissions I think Honda UK is pricing the CRV out the market for the usual CRV buyer. Just too expensive for what it is, even my mk5 was too expensive new its just a Honda CRV but Honda re trying to market it as an Executive SUV, like Volvo XC60 which not, Mazda Cx5 is very tempting to me as my next car, My Honda garage has already contacted me to see if I am interested I have declined an invitation to place an order, or a test drive sad as this is Honda number nineteen I am on so my next car won't be a CRV . if I wanted to spend this kind of Money I would buy a Volvo XC60.
I think it’s because it’s quite square now that it looks so large, it is longer and wider but isn’t any taller. I found this didn’t feel quite as large as the Mazda CX 60
I’ve got the current 5th gen CRV hybrid sport, decent car, getting a bit dated now so was looking forward to this new one but not at that price. It’s crazy
Very impressed with the review, Trish we had a 2007 CRV for 13 years and loved it. Currently on a Mazda CX5 which is very good indeed and below the £40K luxury car Tax levy. I think at for £50k for a decent spec CRV as empty nesters we don't need quite so much space i would be looking Closely at a Lexus RX.
Great choice, Mazda and Honda seem to be extremely popular with people who appreciate the engineering that goes into the engines. I think you’re correct, if they had a single model that nipped in under the 40 K then I think people would flock to buy them! Great choice, I do love a Lexus!
Honda have decided that they are a premium brand with premium prices, their cars are fantastic but at the prices they charge you want a car with more power, more tech, more comfort.
You’re right, you do get a fantastic car but it’s just bringing people around from the premium mainstream brands that will be tough
The ultimate test will be residuals after 3 years. Honda have always been well known for holding their value, time will tell if that continues...
Glad I decided not to wait for this now I've seen those prices. I bought a new X-Trail which I've had for 8 weeks and I'm delighted with it. I was in the UK recently (I live in France) and the local Nissan dealer I popped into was amazed I only (!) had to wait 6 months for it. He reckoned the wait is now about 12 months. Maybe Honda will pick up some people who don't fancy that long a wait - think the Rav4 is similar to mine in that regard.. I didn't see anything in the review that made me think it would be worth the extra over what I paid.
I love it !Nice car!
Great review, do love the look a bit like a xc60/90. The interior is a improvement. I’ve got a 2021 hybrid awd crv SR and we love it. I will be test driving one of the new ones next week. It’s the cost I can’t get my head round. For one with the same kit as mine is 46-48k as some things are missing on the base model like heated seats. I paid just under £34k with 5 years servicing on a deal at the time.
I don’t think they are miles out with the price because the engine is far advanced to the majority out there. However, I would say there a couple of thousand out. I would be really interested to see how you compare the drive as a current owner.
I let you know, the outgoing one already had great power train, on paper it is similar to the new one same output almost I think they have slightly tweaked and improved it. But would agree 42k would be where I would expected it to start.
So drove it today its quieter and the tech is a lot better. The ride is similar and the basics are the same. I think they have fixed the chrome obsession with the old one and everything is 10% better i think, i drove the phev. I think the massive cost is still the issue a BMW x3 Phev isn't much more than the CR-V phev, there now competing with that@@AutoSocialUK
I sat in one of these just last week. It is very well put together and looks twice as good as the outgoing model (that looked like it had been designed by 2 people who'd never met) - but the price of these new cars is just too high. The salesman admitted that Honda was going "upmarket" with this model - fair enough, but for less money I can get a BMW X1 or various other premium cars. Honda needs to think carefully about its pricing.
Comparison to X1? Why not to Toyota Aygo...
Beautiful car and loads of space but I think that price is just way too expensive. Another great review
Thanks for watching!
I don't understand why the European version of the CRV gets a panoramic roof and blind spot camera while the North American version doesn't.
So when you say a hybrid does that mean petrol / electric and is it self charging?
As a current owner of the American version of the CR-V (albeit two generations older), I'm for the most part impressed with this new version. However, like the ZR-V that you reviewed earlier this one is made out of what I call "unobtainium" - it's just WAY too pricey for me (even the American version). 😪
It amazed me that when you stood next to it and was in the driver's seat, it made you look tiny (which you certainly aren't at 5'5"). But when you sat in the rear seat, you looked like a beautiful giantess - as it seemed as if you were about to hit the ceiling! Kind of like a mobile version the "perspective room" - where you could look tiny in one side, gigantic in the other. 😊
Keep up the good work, my beautiful friend! Hoping you'll be putting out some new "Travels With Tish" material soon (though I totally understand your hectic schedule!). 🥰❤
I never got honda's passenger side only blindspot camera and I have watched countless honda reviews and none have so much as talked abt it much less offered anything as spot on as what you had said so kudos to you. I am now your subscriber.
What do we think the reason is?? 🤔
Have they really got rid of the previous blind spot monitoring system which worked on both sides of the car with a camera only on the passengers side? Surely that's the system for left hand drive vehicles? What about for overtaking on motorways? Not going to be any help there is it!
When going slow press the right stalk the 360 degree camera comes on so you can see all round the car.
Honda will soon go bust at least in Europe. Crazy pricing!
I think a lack of AWD in the PHEV is a huge letdown, especially for £53K!
True but it’s engineered in a way that the PHEV can tow more and it has a snow mode.
@@AutoSocialUK personally I’d go for the Kia Sportage PHEV or Toyota RAV4 Prime as it’s significantly cheaper and has 4WD.
And for towing, I’d rather get a ute.
@@DaveDVideoMaker Sportage much smaller though, Kia should've brought the LWB version to the UK.
@@maff257 The Sportage we get in Europe is the SWB built in Slovakia. But the one in America / Korea is the LWB built in the USA and Korea respectively.
Im a fan of Honda and it’s a lovely car , but I want the new x trail .
Still waiting for it in Malaysia. Hopefully it wont past RM 200k mark 😅
Back looks a bit volvo xc90ish, thats not a bad thing
I can see that!
Impressive looking. Its pricey but I think you need to put that in perspective. A Vauxhall Corsa is £20 odd grand these days. In my experience Honda engineering justifies a higher price in any case. That said I would also look at the RAV4 plug in hybrid.
Couldn’t agree more, I don’t think they’re miles out maybe just a few thousand pound. I think all versions of the new ZRV should be under 40k and at least the lowest spec CRV. Otherwise, the premium tax bracket is a bitter pill to swallow.
what colour is this one?
I think it's very pricey at £53,995 ( plus paint as usual), however having test driven several of its competitors, including the Volvo XC60 of a similar price, my opinion is that it was the best for me, so much so that I have ordered one (the plug in hybrid), although, even though it's new on the market I was able to get a few grand discount on it. Should be getting it within the next couple of weeks 🤞🙂
Perfect midsize SUV
Sure is!
Buy it used 1 year later and save £25k 😂😂😂😂
That's exactly what I'm gonna do.
They hold their prices too well,especially hybrids.
You'll be waiting at least 3 years for it to be £25,000
Nice one wich colour is That ? 😍😍😍
Diamond Dust!! 💎
I put my money down for a CRV this month, I really enjoyed both cars, but the ZRV was a little more cramped for my liking. If it was just for myself that would be good but my dad is getting old and the size at the back of the CRV just makes sense
I think at this point in time, these Japanese brands really need to band together and try to cross-share SOME expensive tech R&D to keep costs down because where I live, government-owned Chinese brands are literally proliferating the market with reaallyyy impressive features for a fraction of the costs and i would suppose it really has something to do with loosened patent laws in China that allow for them to just poach existing tech from German and Japanese brands and sell them off for cheap.
That is very true. You have a good point. I guess there isn’t any of them and the engine designs between Honda and Mazda are so different
Honda's market has always been North America, with Europe a second-thought, when it comes to design, equipment and sizing. It looks a mash between a Volvo, BMW, VW & Audi, without the final quality that premium brands bring. Honda buyers will likely stay with Honda, but as price inflation increases, maybe other brands for consideration will be taken seriously in this type of mid brand segment. Great Review as always & always my 1 of 2 TH-cam Car Reviewers to go-to & watch along with Autogefuhl. Your a star & I hope your star continues to rise and you get more and more interest by some big car review channels.
I guess the premium German brand is always used to come with the fit and finish as well as engine refinement, but nowadays Honda has better interior quality and engine refinement so maybe we should come round to the thought of them costing more money. Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate that!
Right off the bat: the colour! There's something about a white Honda SUV that really stands out! Now when compared to its competitors the CR-V has its moments of glory, and its moments of shame. Let's start with the glory. Superior MPGs when compared to the Tucson, cleaner design on the exterior, super comfortable seats, honey comb design that makes the interior stands out, AWD, and a very relaxing driving experience. Now for the shame. No fog lamps at the front, exposed rear wiper that should be tucked underneath, heated seats but no ventilated seats at that price point? WTF!! Less cargo space than some of its competitors, camera resolution needs to be updated, and no spare tire on a HYBRID. Unacceptable! But it's still a Honda. Far from perfect, but very reliable, and will definitely go the distance. Big thumbs up on this video.
In 2019 i purchased a Cr-v SR Hybrid. Its list was 35k but i got it for 32K. Last week i went on to Honda UK website and built the equivalent car, it came in at a whopping 50k, yes £50,000 for a Cr-v.
I had my local Honda dealer ring me the other day for their dealer event for the new Ne1?? I mentioned the Cr-v wasn't big enough and would love to try the USA Honda pilot lol.
Sorry but Honda UK, for the ordinary working guy have priced themselves out the market and no, i'm not going to have the finance over a longer period. That takes me on to the last point. The 3 year warranty...............come on Honda with 3 years, even Toyota do 5 years.
I currently have a mid spec 2wd hybrid. Bought in 2019. It was £36k. A jump to £54k is just too much.
Recently got a brand new 5th Gen EX for just over £36k, it makes this look extremely expensive! I think many current gen CR-V drivers will be looking elsewhere when it's time to change.
6o / 40 is now standard in every vehicle
That piece of yellow strip in front the front wheel arch made it look like it as US car
thanks for the review.. looks like a volvo
Just negotiated £8000 off a new advance tech which makes a big difference £8000 off makes the price similar to Kia Sportage GT Line S.
I have been eagerly awaiting the new (2024 model) PHEV CR-V to replace my (soon to be) 3 year old CR-V EX EHV. However, £55,000 on the road for the blue colour I would like!! I'm a bit staggered (34% more than I paid for my current CR-V)
And it's not a 34% better car by any means!
@@maff257 Agreed! I’m looking at the GR Sport PHEV Toyota RAV-4 now, with a more palatable price tag
Lovely car but as a current Honda owner and probably due to change my car in 12-18 months but at current Honda prices would I have another Honda ……. No.
I’ve had the Honda phev with a 13 pin tow bar to be fitted on order for 2 months and delivery will be in 2 weeks. The garage has just rung me to tell me the car will not be able to tow a caravan as the 13 pin tow bar only has 8 connected wires in it making it illegal to tow a caravan due to the breaking system. This needs to be put out there and i will be rejecting the car this week when I go into the garage
Big tyre walls are good. Low profile tyres are a rip off, ruin the ride and need more frequent replacement.
Glad Honda has given the potential owner a choice between Hybrid and Plug In, personally I detest plug in and the questions over their usefulness.
I've seen one in Black ,Ace .
The Honda cars are very appealing but the prices are a stumbling block for me. Honda needs to rethink their prices and model configurations to be able to compete with other car brands.
It’s a shame because if they priced them a few thousand pound less, I think people would flock to buy them
Price is very good. This makes it a rare car and that's what I like to drive.😎 Great review.
I like your thinking 😂😂😂 Don’t tell Honda!
11:45AM They finally got the interior right, especially the gear area (it was ugly on the dashboard), but still not as attractive with those hidious buttons for the air-conditioning. It would have been better to put a screen to control the stereo and air-conditioning like Volvo XC90 and Dodge Ram does with there pickup truck 🚛.The front of the previous model was much better looking than this newer version, everything else is just fine with this CR-V. The cheaper price is right since they didn't do enough with this latest model CR-V.
Competent and quite impressive but way too expensive.
Great pronunciation mam
Honda has lost its direction in styling, and it’s mind when it comes to pricing. Not a chance.
I enjoyed watching the Video Review. A big Improvement Inside and Out. My favourite Trim Is the Advance Tech 😊
Thanks for sharing!
Mhm that’s a weird price.. I got my 2023 Honda crv sport touring hybrid for 48k and that’s the top trim down here
The Japanese are more conservative with infotainment system - decent sized with tactile knobs and buttons. Thank goodness. It's less distraction and driver can adjust features without need to look at the screen. I attribute it to the Chinese and Koreans (and Tesla) to fuel the screen size escalation war.
The side and rear reminds me of the volvo xc90...
Yes I get that!
Not sure why you say those reflectors on the front wheel arches are American. Nothing American about them. I think only one or two cars in the US have them, including the CRV.
Go for Mazda CX5
I'd buy one if the hybrid had a spare.
Ignoring the seven seat aspect [which I never use], the Kia Sorento seems to be the best match for the new CR-V. The Sorento is about to be revised as the Hyundai equivalent has just been announced and it’s a beauty.
Oh wow so great 👍 and very beautiful 😻❤️ and the engine 🚂🚒 very strong and powerful for the off 🛣️ road 💪🛣️ or high way and very good design with the new 🆕 technology for the new 🆕 generation hument and very easy to drive and comfortable ❤.
It slightly looks like a Volvo XC60,XC90
3:00 What? No, the orange reflector looks cool. Just like they have it on the Ford Mach-e. They look cool when they light up in the dark as well.
Crv has really turned into a truck hasn't it, used to be a small suv that was maneuverable .
They seem to be catching with where Hyundai was 7 years ago.
I own a current gen CRV EX trim. Good all all rounder, only the infotainment system is a let down
It was over priced then, but it came fully kitted, and it worked out cheaper than the germans. Having owned a Kia Ceed, was not impressed with the fuel consumption. The sportage uses a similar engine.
The new CRV is over priced and a bit to large for my liking. Would nit want yo take it down a country lane.
Sounds like the ZRV is for you. Slightly smaller, and an amazing engine!
Needs bigger wheels. 18 inch dont cut it.
Going to have to be 'middle class' to own a car soon.
Has everyone got a broken phone screen!.
These cars have become very expensive especially for anyone who pays cash and does not lease. Wonder what the depreciation rate will be? 15% even at that £36K for a 2 year old car
I’m so disappointed the phev is 2WD. I would’ve been very interested otherwise.
Compare this to the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe. Only one winner here.
Honda engine noisy😮? Even my old 2002 honda civic is so much silent compared to most of other brand latest cars.
Is has a nicer design and better interior built but definitely not worth £56k for a plug-in model shown in the video.
In UK roads new Honda are much rarer sight most I have seen are just jazz and hrv. The civic were so hard to see on roads compare to last gen.
Honda UK needs to get its pricing right, your direct competitor is Toyota and Nissan. Class for class like in every segment you are overpriced!
Honda don't seem to care about Civic sales in the UK. This (and the wider European market) is not an import market for them.
Not a bad looking car. It looks classy but boring. The 4th generation CR-V was the best looking one. The 5th generation was not bad either but a bit more boring.
I love u❤
Your pants is from the year 1972
Glad I bought the last of the old generation CRV's. This is just too expensive.
MY only grip about hondas is their infotainment system are complete crap did this in old days cause most people would change out for touch screens but they need to do better on their media systems
Why would you buy this when you can have 7seater for the same money?
Honda, what are you doing? Great car,but just too expensive. Same for all their current range. Not doing well on the EV front either. Seems like they have lost the plot.
2:55 American reflector makes unstylish its car styling, In my opinion. It's not Honda cars cases, most of Lexus cars have that parts. That's why I can't stand for that brand. If I saw that parts on a car, It evokes Japanese situation which American saterite country.
Honda , not winning any race but price getting higher & higher ……. ?!
