Under the hood is the 1.5L turbocharged inline-4 that produces 190HP & is mated to a CVT transmission. It's exterior receives an updated from fascia & new styles wheels. On the inside the updates are a little smaller. Is the 2020 Honda CR-V touring the better compact SUV than a Toyota RAV4?

The thing about these Hondas is that it looks like crap in videos, but look soooo classy in person. I was like "meh" over the TH-cam videos, but in person, I was like..."Ok, I'm taking this home!" lol
I saw so many people comment that worried about oil dilution issue and CVT but I am using CRV 2017 and very happy with it. Try it at Head dealer and do not ever listen any youtuber, just because they love your like and view and share by always make the small issue to giant issue.
Yeah, TH-camrs are just negative whiny little kids.
Raiti’s reviews are always good. Support from Malaysia. Keep going, bro. 👍
Thanks my friend for your awesome support!
Raiti's Rides You’re welcome. 👍
The pop up ad in the middle of the video, Twizzlers!!! Epic
Now we are talking! LOL
Both of my vehicles are black! Looks great... as long as you wash them properly.
Great review!
Thoroughly rinse first then hand wash vigorously. Repeat as needed.
You do the best reviews.
Excellent review as always! Looking forward to the CRV Hybrid review
Greetings from Ocean City, MD 🤙🏼
Thanks Ryan! Great news is we are invited to the actual Media launch of the CR-V hybrid.
Just.need better products to review..."In a memo sent to dealers, Honda’s manager of auto campaigns and recalls, Brad Ortloff, said oil in these engines could be diluted because of software settings or potential hardware failures. Some vehicles could experience “lack of power,” leading to cylinder misfires or engine noise." Consumer Reports
"But if the vehicles are stalling, as some owners have reported, this is a safety issue and Honda should conduct an official recall, which doesn’t expire.” Consumer Reports
When is launch of CRV hybrid?
Love your reviews they are my go to because I'm currently car shopping!! I love Honda and I'm looking at this CRV model! I also wanna check out the Kia Seltos! Please review that as well!
Google CRV 1.5 turbo.
I am really liking that CRV refresh. It looks great in that black color too. Those wheels might be my favorite design on any Honda model. I just hope they finally got that oil dilution problem under control.
I totally agree with everything you said.
Nice review! Almost got one but opted for an Acura RDX!
You made right move if you can afford it.
I just bought a 2020 crv touring “black edition” in Canada. I love everything about the car except for the stereo. For a 45k top line car the stereo is disappointing. It has “premium audio” but move the volume past 25 on anything rock or pop and there’s so much distortion. I’m going to have an after market system put in!
Hey Raiti, your videos are great! and I love watching them, but it would be nice to mention the known issues the vehicle has as well. I know you can't for the newly redesigned models but for the vehicles thats been out for a few years, it would be nice if you looked in to the known issues and mentioned them In the videos. You do a great Job explaining the Pros of the vehicles but it would be great if you can mention the Cons are well. For example the new 1.5t Honda engines have oil dilution problems, which includes the CRV your reviewing. anyone that is considering to buy the vehicle would love to know these types of issues.
Thanks for sharing that great feedback.

This guy seems to be a big fan of honda. He introduces a lot of honda products in his channel. Good sales
Great video
Thanks Tommy for saying that!
Good Review Joe! I just did a review on the Touring model also. 👍
I like it! I am used to listening to engine noise since I have a Mustang GT with a Magnaflow exhaust, so the 'drone' doesn't bother me at all... in fact, I like it! Overall, I really like the 2020 Touring. My wife has a 2012 EX-L AWD and it's not bad, ether!
I really like your reviews as you are fairly detailed. Although, I do think you could provide more detail. As with the CRV, you don't talk about the remote features where the remote will open the windows and sunroof and also how to close all of that with the key. Also how the CRV has vents that open and close in the front of the car allowing it to be more aerodynamic and allow the car to heat up faster. Also the ACC how the Honda goes all the way to stop and then starts again. The CRV also has a tougher metal than the RAV4, that would be nice for you to explain. You are great but I think you could add more. Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback.
Dang bro I’m gonna be completely honest, I was looking at a couple of Japanese imports or muscle cars to get for my next car but honestly, after seeing this crv and what you get for less than $40k, I’m really sold on this little thing that’s extremely practice and livable on the daily for me. Seems like a strange contrast but I just sorta feel that way now for some reason
It's pretty comfortable and spacious. I got the first model year of this redesign and I like it a lot. Test drove a used Lexus recently to see if I wanted to trade and I wasn't really blown away by the V6 or rear-wheel drive enough to trade in my car at a loss. The new CR-Vs (especially EX-L and up trims) are pretty nice and refined.
Love my 2019 CRV. Glad I didn’t wait for the 2020 not a fan of the auto stop/start. Thanks for the review!
Hopefully they have a bypass switch. Problem is there is no way to permanently turn it off. You have to hit the bypass every time you start the car. At least on my BMW X3 the bypass switch is part of the push button start. So its pretty convenient to turn it off. OEM's have government incentives to put it in. Its only a matter of time they will all have this. And one day, they might not have a bypass either. They can be aggravating at times. Like stopping momentarily for a parking space and it shuts off. They are not very intelligent to say the least.
Thanks for sharing that great input from your experience Heather!
Great info!
Helped build these for a bit. My biggest concern is the cvt, other than that I really have no problem with the vehicle.
Thanks for sharing that Troy!

CR-V is looking pretty compelling, I must say. The interior doesn't suit me as much as I want it, though. It's more my taste than anything else 😂👍🏻

Because of you, I started using “Zonk”

Me too I tell my boss that 😊
I’m gonna have to give it a Zonk 🤣
I like this trim my friend I like it really much
I am so glad that I could share it with you!
Screen looks like an App made for the iPhone and you’re looking at it on the iPad. Way too much wasted space on that! Oh I almost forgot, fantastic review as usual bravo bravo bravo!
Yeah, I agree that you zonked the 2020 CRV for not having the power port in the cargo area. Honda/Acura omitted that rear cargo power port in my 2013 RDX and I don't know how much I missed it until I need to use it and it wasn't there :(.
I’ve been looking at Honda, Toyota and Mazda.
For someone on a budget with kids. I will choose the CRV. More space, comfortable ride and seats. It might be a bit slower than Toyota or Mazda, but it’s still a reliable car with enough tech and gadgets to keep us safe.
I’m currently driving an 04 CRV and looking for an upgrade. Toyota RAV4 was my original choice but the more reviews I watch and the more comparisons I did, I am leaning towards the CRV again.
The RAV4 makes more power but its slower. The CX5 Signature is quicker arguably more refined but isnt really that spacious.
May be in the compact segment, but the amount of twinkie boxes that can go in there is crazy.
On a side note, I really appreciate the balance between really fun/exotic vehicles and the more realistic everyday vehicle reviews.
Thanks for saying that! I like bringing the variety!
Hello from the UK Joe.🇬🇧👍
Hi Bryan! Thanks for watching from across the pond!
Hello! Do you an CR-V Black Edition review? If so, can you link me to it? If not you should make one!
How is your night Joe? Love the CR-V, my cousin just bought it. ;)
It's been a bit of a balancing act. How is yours?
@@RaitisRides I'm good. Like I said before, my cousin bought a CR-V and so it's awesome.
Hi Joe, I got a 2019 CRV EX and is a great all around vehicle great on gas, ergonomics, roomy, power and surprisingly the CVT is better than most of the average CVT transmissions, my favorite part is the solid Honda quality construction! Thanks for your great job Amigo! Keep up the good work!!
Hi Josue! Thanks for sharing that great ownership input! I appreciate your awesome support!
Went to test drive this year in the sport but went for the 2017 touring instead. Especially since it had the panoramic sunroof & full leather seats. Was never a fan of Honda but so far no complaints. Solid SUV.
Outstanding updates, making the best CUV in the world just a little bit better! Great review
You are so very right man! Thanks for the compliment! I hope to see you soon!
Best CUV in the world?...that's a reach 😂
@@RaitisRides I have a request, it is that you start honking the horn in your videos. This is because if someone buys a car, they don’t want a stupid quiet horn. Thanks! - ThatCarHornGuy2
5. Honda CR-V
• Most common complaint: Steering (69 complaints)
• Total complaints 154
• 2019 sales (through Q3): 280,739
• Vehicle type: Compact SUV
Of the over 150 reported complaints about the 2019 Honda CR-V, most can be traced back to a single issue. The vehicle issued a recall in May 2019, saying, “The metal core of the steering wheel may have burrs which can damage the harnesses routed within” - which could damage the air bag. This design may have otherwise affected the steering and air bags. There were 69 complaints regarding the steering and 65 complaints regarding the 2019 CR-V’s air bags. USAToday
@@normt430 does this apply to the 2021? I just got a new one 😂
Nice video
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Joe the 2021 crv review waiting on it
Working on it.
I really love Honda CRV.... very handsome car...
I am thinking of buying one of these, but you do not mention anything about the gas/oil dilution problem with these engines?
Thank you for convincing me im waiting for my 2020 CRV SPORT ( CANADIAN ÉDITION)
I can't wait to bring it to you!
Is the 2 USB’s that are in the passenger row available in the base trims? Along with the rear AC?
You completely bypassed the button located above the ECON button, which is the engine shut off, at an extended stop. I personally do not like this feature, but it is new for the 2020 model. Of course, you can turn it off, and you need to remember to do it, before you start to drive.
Holy crap same interior light and sunglass holder from 15 years ago..
This is true.
My mom has a 2018 CR-V EX she loves it. The feel of the ride and handling is better then the 2016 CRV I know because we have a family friend that has one and it has a different ride feel. It'd be nice to see videos on the Fit and Pilot.
Thays weird because my wifes 2019 CRV feels just too stiff over bumps. It uses Hankook tires. I'd be curious what that 2018 uses for tires.
@@GUITARTIME2024 Really? I've driven my mom's 2018 CR-V and I feel that it absorbs bumps pretty good. I'm not 100% sure on this but I think firestone tires on the 2018
@@davidmachen3775 Firestone makes great tires
This refreshed Touring trim may look better than the RAV4, but the CVT will never beat an 8 spd conventional transmission.
This is true.
can you review 2021 crv black edition too? thanks
My wife has a 2015 CRV Touring which I actually like better. Its great to scoot around town but I prefer my RDX (2020 Advance) on the road. But I don’t understand the wireless phone charger and the cargo cover are standard on the CRV but you cannot get the car charger on the RDX and the cargo cover is an option.
do a review for the 2020 TESLA MODEL 3
Always thought the CRV was a complete zonk, until the 2017 model; best looking gen yet. I kinda wish we'd wait for the refresh. With 170K miles and still on financing, it'd be a waste to trade now 😄
Thanks for sharing that great input from your ownership!
Hey my brother checking in
What's up man?
Question: Is the touring worth the extra money? Or should I just stick with an EX??
The Philippines has the 7 seater Honda CR-V AWD SX model variant, that runs a 1600cc Turbo Diesel engine, and huge Panoramic glass roof. Is there some restrictions as to why the US cannot import this model?.
Honda 1.5 T GDI engine oil dilution problems 👎
CVT, very smooth 👍
Thanks for that input.
Yup..."In a memo sent to dealers, Honda’s manager of auto campaigns and recalls, Brad Ortloff, said oil in these engines could be diluted because of software settings or potential hardware failures. Some vehicles could experience “lack of power,” leading to cylinder misfires or engine noise." Consumer Reports
"But if the vehicles are stalling, as some owners have reported, this is a safety issue and Honda should conduct an official recall, which doesn’t expire.” Consumer Reports
Yeh, i don't know why Honda hasn't yet recalled the 1.5T GDI engine.
China has an import ban on any Honda with the 1.5T GDI engine
Terrible engine in Cold climates. Beware
I bet you don't even know what oil dilution is, do you? Be honest.
No heated seats but it has power assist tail gait. For 12K less then that e pace you just reviewed this has more for the money. Also has sunroof too which the e pace didn't have. infotainment might be dated but at least it will work unlike the e pace.
I totally agree with you! You get a great value for the money.
Some smart front end styling, but they could hide that radar sensor in the front anywhere...
AGREED!
Not sure if you mentioned it, but do you like the CR-V more than the Forester?
My major zonk is that LED headlights should come standard otherwise its a pretty nice vehicle, and people I know someone who has a touring CRV since it came out and they don’t have any oil dilution problems
I totally agree iwth you!
Oil dilution, Unproven CRV transmission, turbo that needs to be idled before and after driving. I'm not ready for the headaches. I'll stick with the normal aspirated non turbo RAV4.
Thanks for sharing those points Larry!
Oil dilution issue has been ongoing since 2017 and honda has no fix...
@@stevenkreiss2113 it's been fixed, stop listening to whiney TH-camrs that doesn't know what they are talking about
@@nicholas802 it has not been fixed... my 2018 CRV diluted oil like crazy even after I had it in to the dealer to be fixed 3x
Crv good car for daily driving to work. Love Honda =))
If they would only update that infotainment system and put a 12V outlet in the trunk it would probably be a home run. Fix it Honda.
Konrad Z None in the US
Do a review on your daily personal for getting to the dealerships
Will do Justin!
@@RaitisRides late on this, but what do you daily drive?
I like more the 1.5T of the CRV but I don’t like the CVT at all, The engine in the toyota is a lot louder and it says 203HP but I test Drive both and the honda feel a bit faster, I don’t like the 8 speed auto that the Rav4 has but well I like it a bit more than the CVT is very hard to choose between both
idk the older rims just seem better to me 🤷🏻♂️ and for some reason the front looks super busy now
I guess the Crv is perfect for M&Ms party hold xD
Oh yeah!
Is the Canadian spec different from the USA spec? Because the same year model and trim, some have 5 LED fog light whiles some have the normal rounds fog light. Simone should please educate me. Thank you
I’m getting one soon.
Sup Joe. My heart literally sank when I saw CVT in the description 😑. Don't like Honda SUV'S but hey Cool Beans 🙄.

Great review, Joe! Still feel Honda is falling behind competitors with styling and not feeling it with the front interior styling.
Like you’d highlighted, the infotainment screen is tiny. Also, I knew you were going to note the wireless charging sitting so high. Phones will be flying. :)
Lastly, the gas mileage isn’t impressive at all in my opinion. The shifter is actually the best part of the interior.
I totally agree with you Steve! It will be interesting how long Honda holds out for a redesign.
Good Morning Steve!
My wife has a 2018 EX-L and she is averaging 37.5mpg in Phoenix with air on all the time it is a two wheel drive but fantastic on fuel!
Nah this is nothing compare to Canada’s 2020 crv black series.. love your vids btw
Great video 😃 question, is it easy to park in tight parking spots with the CRV?
Is 35 mpg on hwy? What does the hybrid give u?
I am not satisfied with the 7" MIB screen for model 2020. It's really small for displaying.
got one love it
Congrats!
first thing I do when entering is turn off the auto-stop start function . God I hate that feature. recently leased a 2020
That is an excellent point!
I have 2020 EX-L and as much as I try I can't tell if doing shutdown/restart. I don't like the idea of it.
I just got a 2020 CR-V because my 2017 CR-V got totaled, and I absolutely hate the "auto idle feature" too! It is definitely the worst thing about the 5th gen refresh. I thought the dealership had sold me a lemon at first when I noticed the weird engine shudder at every red light... Trying to make it muscle memory to turn it off every time I start the car now.
13:28 Joe suddenly realizing he doesn't have any kids xD
Missing ventilated seats, HUD, power folding mirror, 360 camera and parking sensor.
AGREED!
Raiti's Rides does the rav4 has ventilated seats ?
I would wait until Mazda comes out with the new CX5 refresh with a new interior design before getting one of these. I'm sure it's probably only a year out.
Great move!
Mazda cx5 is too small. Need room for cargo. CRV has the room and a nice interior. It also doesn't have a scowling face on the front like the Rav4. Wish the CRV hybrid was available now.
Stephen Werner go forester fasho
@Armando Sturzenegger it was way bigger in person than I was expecting!
Or wait for the 2021 CR-V...
Pls tell me you don’t eat the diet you suggest in the video. Chips, Bakery goods, Candy. Thanks for the CRV info.
Oil dilution is only thing keeping me from buying Honda CR-V
I can understand that Kathy.
Didn't they mitigate that issue?
Issue fix for 2020.
no fix! design flaw, all that turbo and crap!
they did not fix it at all....so sad....
Do all of your titles have to be questions? Try this. “How the CR-V stacks up against the RAV4” love the vids though
Salvador Lomeli lol I noticed the same but it’s not a problem.
Got a cx-5 last year. Same price, cx-5 gave me more luxurious and premier feeling, most important thing is it’s not a CVT. Thus, cr-v is like everywhere you go. Test drive both vehicles, you’ll see what i’m seeing.
grand touring?
That is the way I would go.
@@Panthere.vision I like the signature with AWD

@@normt5463 get with the times , this is 2021 and the new CRV is the sleakest vehicle on the road , looks very sporty and rugged, you need to develope some taste for autos.
Anyone notice the cap open on the washer fluid reservoir? It would be a toss up between this and the RAV 4. I lean more towards the Honda but I wouldn’t get the light colored interior though. Nice review Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
L S OIL DILUTION
I hear thats been fixed.
L S Nope.
Good eyes Larry!
Justin Xu Check our Vehiclehistory.com where it states Honda has fixed the problem at the factory for the 2019 models.
RAV4 for me all the way! Looks wise and eveything else too
I totally understand where you are coming from!
Not only styling, but the rav 4 sticks to natural aspirated engine, 8 spd auto transmission, cheaper Maintence for the long run. Sad how Honda got rid of thier NA engine n going full turbo on a cvt now.
Does it have heated seats or not? You said it does then you followed that statement by saying that it does not! Which is it?
Heated seats no ventilated seats.
Captain seats option for the rear seats ??
Not on the CR-V.
i don't like the backside, nor the turbocharged engine, and the fake wood panel interior (looks outdated). it appears the transmission shift lever (park position) is on the way for the a/c buttons. need a refresh or a redesign, just too many zonks
Oil dilution problem?????????????
The wiper fluid cap is open
Big zonk for the 1.5L motor and the CVT. Two exhaust pipes for a 1.5L motor?! I rather get the 2.4L K series motor and the 5 speed automatic transmission in my 2010 model.
CVT is a killer deal...Zonk!
Honda actually makes the best CVTs, there are many early 2000s Honda Civic hybrids with CVTs that made it over 500k miles. yes the drive might be a little laggy compared to a normal transmission but I would rather go with Hondas proven CVTs then any other automakers.
CR-V has surprisingly good CVT. It rides and feels better than any conventional transmission (any competitor except CX-5 maybe).
Endless money pit
@@masternobody1896 Nope
Drive test rav 4, cx5, and CRv. CRV won for functionality and practicality. Cx5 though has the smoothest ride among the 3.
