Wow, thanks!
Thanks for a Thai perspective review in English! Great for us non-Thai speakers based in Thailand!
How would you compare the drive and comfort compared to the latest CRV or Accord?
You're welcome! I think the CR-V has a more comfortable ride but unfortunately no hybrid version for the Thai market. Meanwhile the Accord Hybrid has a much more powerful hybrid system with a combined 215ps.
Good video buddy, thanks for doing one in EN for people live in Thailand who does not speak Thai. Would you recommend this over Toyota Cross Safety or Toyota CHR?
Thanks! The HR-V and Cross are good all-rounders while the CH-R is smaller and sportier. Depends on what you want.
Seeing at the first second, I think this man is genious 😂
Hi Kingsley,
Great reviews, thanks. When do you think the new Honda CR-V Hybrid will be on sale in Thailand?
Thanks David. The new CR-V e:HEV Should be launched at the Bangkok Motor Show next month.
Very good video on HRV, thank you ..... Please two questions ..
1- Sincerely if you had to choose between the Honda HRV RS and the Haval Jolion Ultra which one would you take ?? (Engine power, Price, interior and options) .....
2- Can HRV EL be an interesting option? (price and number of security systems) compared to the HRV RS 100,000 Baths difference or The HRV RS is really worth the 100,000 Baths more .... Thank you for your answers ....
I'd go for the HR-V, but again the Jolion's pricing is really inviting. I might even go for the EL trim, which is more modern-looking too. I don't really use some of the RS equipment like Honda Connect or wireless charger, so the EL looks even more interesting (all trim levels come with Honda SENSING).
How about comparing to Toyota Corolla Cross?
Thank you for review! 🙏🏻
Do you know anything about new HRV 2023 model? Apparently it was released in April 2022, any news when it will be in Thailand?
This is the one.
Great review! Any chance we can get HRV hybrid vs Cross Hybrid comparison? Always appreciate English reviews for Thai market.
Yes, will try to do a comparison soon.
@@kingsley220 awesome! What's your preference for driving experience? I'm concerned Cross is underpowered. Went to several dealerships 2 months ago and none of them had any available for test drive.
@@goingreen5074 I think the Honda offers better driving feel, but gotta drive them both again to be sure.
Hello KIngsley,
Thank you for the review, greetings from Indonesia.
Would like your input regarding the HR-V RS. Is the suspension is in the 'comfort" or 'sporty' area?
And from reading several review , I noticed people in Thailand mostly prefer the RS suspension vs E or El. Is there any difference of suspension system in those three trims?
According to Honda, the suspension settings are different, with the RS (18-in wheels) getting the sportiest setting among the three trims.
In the RS I felt the suspension was nicely balanced between comfort and sportiness. Doesn't lean on either side too much. Steering feel is nice.
Thank you Kingsley, really appreciated your input.
I don't like the sunroof. Other than that it's good.
All reviews so far mention the combined consumption, but never mention the highway and city consumption separately. How is the fuel consumption at highway cruising speed of 90-100km/h?
According to the Thai Eco Sticker, it's 37km/liter in the city and 21.2km/liter on the highway. Average is 25.6km/liter.
@@kingsley220 Thanks. Should get delivery of the car at the end of this month, but was a little concerned about highway consumption.
@@biatch0 Cool!
ชอบดีไซน์กระจังหน้า คล้ายHavals นิดๆ
ว๊ายย!! 555
Great video. But sadly, the HRV still has not BSM,360 cam, but the old Infotainment. It is produced here like the Australian HRV but the AUS HRV is cheaper, has BSM, New Infotainment like the City, and 2zone AC... Crazy. The HRV was a car i liked but not with all the old tech and that stupid glass roof u can not open and not has electric shade. In Japan, they have the electric Sun glass and Sunshade like in the old one. The Thai version is only more heavy, more hot and more expensive with less safety. Unbelievable Thai Honda. I want a new car but i only get disappointed again and again. Thai car market is really bad if u don't have many millions to spend for a Car.
This exact hybrid variant is nonexistent in the Philippines hahaha
great
It looks like a sportier mazda cx 5
I dont like hrv suspension too much noise
the car is heavier, less power, slower and has very loud engine noise when going uphill. A step backwards for Honda and every international road test has said this.
