Todd hates 5 seat SUVs so much that he only owns 2 of them (Cayennes) 😂
Hi, from Japan!! I feel Honda has been making vehicles which can be loved by many kind of people nowadays. In fact, last gen was not popular in Japan at all. Me too, I think this new gen will be more sold even in Japan. Funny, our nations are different but we feel same way. Different way of thinking, different backgrounds, different cultures, but we know what good cars are!!
1000 miles on our CR-V Sport Touring. This review is like music to my ears ❤
Sport Touring also has exclusive extra sound deadening, and it's noticeable in its refinement. Most refined Honda I've had, including 7 previous leased high-end Accords. Been better than EPA numbers in urban cycle, and slightly below on highway, so it averages out to meeting EPA number of 37.
I like the Ben Franklin hairdo.
Great video! Anyone else catch the random clip of an Audi digital gauge cluster ar 16:54? 😆
Not a SUV guy, but I love the show.
I saw one parked next to a Mazda CX-5 at work the other day. I've always liked the look of the CX-5. But, I thought the new CR-V looked better. I've never liked the new generation RAV4. If I ever need to replace my 2006 Element, it would probably be the new CR-V hybrid. I would love to see some snow and ice tests in the new CR-V. My Element is a tank when it comes to snow and ice. I do think the new CR-V should have a spare tire though.
Honda's engineering prowess is truly remarkable, as evidenced by the enduring performance of my 2007 CRV, which is still going strong. Earlier this year, I diligently considered the competition, but ultimately, I couldn't resist the allure of the CRV ST. Having driven a Ford C-Max Hybrid for the past decade, which has been nothing short of fantastic, I must admit that the i-MMD architecture in Honda's hybrids delivers a far more enjoyable driving experience than the e-CVT power split planetary gear system found in Ford and Toyota cars.
Moreover, the CRV's captivating styling, generous interior space, unmatched comfort, and exceptional longevity make it a clear winner for me. The decision to purchase the Honda CRV was a no-brainer, given the myriad advantages it offers over its competitors.
Thank you for pointing out that this hybrid doesn't have a CVT. Other journalists keep labeling it as a CVT, even though it's just a simple lock-up clutch. I think Honda will drop the gas-only trims once they can make enough batteries.
Love the review guys!
I think the taillight style is very modern Volvo.
Unrelated - whats the purpose of the passport when the pilot exists? Their dimensions and cost are almost identical, with the only difference is pilot has a 3rd row
Problem with the rear lights is Honda again took the cheap route and used Thomas Edison (incandescent) light bulbs for the rear turn signals instead of LED's to match the rest. Just plain ridiculous.
We have a new 23 CRV EX with AWD and we purposefully chose the non-hybrid version for simplicity and potential longevity with low maintenance. It’s a very solid little SUV, no issues in 6 months of ownership, and it’s better in every conceivable way than the 2018 Civic EX Hatch we traded in. It’s also faster and gets better MPG than that Civic, somehow.
Understand, but its been almost 6 years that honda released their first hybrid in accord in 2018.. I dont think we have heard anything negative so far.. oil changes are less frequent on hybrid and its a naturally aspirated 2.0 engine
I'm waiting on a 2wd non-hybrid. I'm not yet convinced hybrid is the way to go. if those batteries die, it's over 2k to replace. (if outside warranty) That's 10x a standard battery. It's surprising to price check what used crv are getting. My 18 sold new for 30k. used models of same year, trim, and mileage are selling near 27k. No wonder it's time to trade in for a 23.
@@texascacti its 1/50th of tesla battery, just 1.4KWH .. how much do you really think it would be ? Worth the worry?
Because of the regen braking in hybrids you go through pads slower. You also produce less heat which will help with longevity and burn less oil.
@@harrytej 2000-2500 was what a dealer told me it cost to replace batteries in a Honda hybrid.
Previous generation is very good and looks athletic.
Looking to retire my 2001 4Runner as everyday driver. Have test driven Honda Pilot, CR-v (sport hybrid) Rav4, Highlander, Kia Telluride, Kia sportage- Loved the Telluride but not for the $$$$$-next best is the CRV sport Hybrid. Have truck if I need to tow or offroad hard.
The fifth generation CRV is good 👍🏿
You miss spoke it’s 34 mpg on the highway which is a little anemic for the class if I’m being honest
No they don't listen to journalist, that's why it has only 204 hp, and dropped the beloved 256hp engine, Honda is about customer practicality and not journalist enthusiasts from 0-60 time!
At least they used a naturally aspirated engine in the hybrid instead of just using the 1.5t
Eliminate pushbutton selector, eliminate leaf blower sound, these are typically what journalists have been pointing out over the years
@@harrytej What is the leaf blower sound?
Amen, 🙌🏽 🙌🏽 I say that all the time!
I’ll keep my 23’ Lexus NX350H for $45k, but I actually like Honda hybrid more than the RAV4 hybrid..
@@dingdong5601 *C, Honda is planing on a hybrid version of all there models acutely..
Yes, somehow the drive is superior to rav4 actually..
I could not DISAGREE more about the 5th generation CR-V. Obviously, I own one, and I think its fit, finish, and performance is superior.
Same. We've been using the thing both around the city, and in going home to my mother's home town (an 8-hour drive) and it's just been so nice yet so exciting to drive.
I think the 5th Gen is fine. I would buy and drive one. The new 6th Gen is nicer though.
@@tntmyth, we may each prefer a different generation of the CR-V for different reasons, but I am UNconvinced the 6th generation is objectively better or nicer. Honestly this video's original review was long on verbiage and short on the particulars of the vehicle. In my opinion, the 2023 CR-V's touchscreen is awkwardly placed, the instrumentation panel is less appealing (mph is both digital and analog -- what?), and the brightly colored stitching on the seats is an eyesore. But again, these are personal preferences. The 2022 CR-V Hybrid I am driving is performing magnificently, exceeding my expectations.
The best daily on the market is going to be the upcoming Civic Hybrid Hatch. It's going to have the same CRV/Accord Hybrid powertrain. Can't wait to see more on that one. That CRV Sport is looking great also though.
It's great Honda listens to automotive journalists, and you two are the real deal. You made a good case for the CRV to be hybrid only, but the price difference between it and the 1.5 will take 7 years of gas savings to recoup. And based on what I see on the street, people are choosing the 1.5.
I plan on keeping mine for at least 10yrs. So I'll be making money in gas savings! haha
@@dingdong5601 The hybrid is a much better powertrain and worth the price. And the touring amps up the luxury and refinement. Enjoy the ride. 😀
How so? Honda doesn’t make non hybrid and hybrid in same trims anymore.. also hybrid is considerably faster than non hybrid .. Exl awd is 37055$ whilw touring hybrid is 40395.. i don’t know how the difference is 7k based on the fact that there are more features in Touring
@@harrytej CR-V Hybrid starts at around $32,000 and gets 35 mpg combined. The regular CR-V starts at about $26,000 and it gets 28 mpg combined. The price difference is about $6K. Assuming an average gas price of $4 a gallon and an average driving distance of about 12,000 miles a year, it would take 4 years to pay off the difference. It would take about 7 years to pay off the difference for the touring.
@@peterandrewj the diff is 4k from base to sport CRV.. I don’t know which market has 26k priced for base CRV
this or the outback XT limited?
I see no chance for crv here except of designing which is based on personal preference.
Outback xt definitely offers more in term of power, offroad capability, quieter and more premium cabin
Why does he hate the 5 seat suv?
Does this CR-V uses a CVT transmission?
Anyone ?
My understanding is it's more like an E-CVT, a bit like Toyota's.
Thanks for the reply.
Much appreciated.
I thought as much due to the engine revs in the video.
We have one and it's more like a simulated automatic, very difficult to tell it's a CVT
“CVT” here is marketing lingo. Like RAV4, this one uses a direct planetary gear system instead of a standard CVT - the band/chain and cone cylinder mechanism - which is the type most hate due to the high rpm droning noise
Why would you take the CRV hybrid over the RAV4 hybrid in terms of efficiency? Makes no sense. RAV4 hybrid gets better mpg. Across-the-board in terms of highway mpg RAV4 hybrid is 38 and Honda CRV hybrid is 34.
When you can’t get the Rav4 you have to settle :/ I’ve been wanting one for a while now, but came across the CRV since I’m not willing to pay the ridiculous Mark up for the Toyota. Still not set on which vehicle to buy though..
A 4 mpg difference isn't a big enough difference for a lot of people.
I prefer Honda styling and driving dynamics to Toyota and love how much quieter it is to drive. The 90 degree doors, greater cargo room, and remote start being free vs a subscription service via Toyota was more than enough reason for me to go with the CRV Hybrid.
Great review but please stop calling them flavors.
The suv is awesome, it’s nice and simple, rear vents and but just the engine is what is concerning(1.5t model only). Low power, very turbocharger reliant due to lack of natural torque from the low displacement, the car weighs a lot for the powertrain, so soon it will throw a rod sooner than civics will
I can't get past the ugly, cheap-looking silver cutouts they stuck on the lower front of the hybrid...one of the designers must have asked his 9 year old what would make this car look cooler
You mean Cybertruck?
Why do I keep seeing scared reviewers after reviewer's not giving honest info about mileage fuel efficiency real world? I really like the modern take because the RAV4 is boring and dated looking. I wanted a Toyota but every online owner is complaining about real life mileage that's nowhere near the claimed. A few reviewers likes motormouth were honest that they were severely disappointed. RAV4 gets close to stated but the CRV is abysmal. You could get the 2 wheel drive and get the same mileage
Bullshit / I own a sport hybrid Drive 80/20 hwy / city and am getting 39 mpg So Whatever It’s working perfectly
I own a sport hybrid in Texas, after a year my MPG is 36 over 10,500 miles
Sportage hybrid is a much better value for the money. Honda is ridiculously overpriced
Is everyone buying Kia than Honda ?
I had a4 th generation CR-V and can't agree AT ALL that it was cheaply made. Now, I traded it in for a 2023 Accord, but that isn't because I was dissatisfied with the CR-V; I just wanted an Accord. I'm not happy that Honda reduced the models with Hybrid option to just the Sport models in 2023. I actually miss the CR-V and wish I had a second car as a CR-V. I disagree with the return to stick shifters because the shifter gets in the way of cupholders and the phone charger/storage area. The 4th gen had very old and slow technology for the entertainment and info displays, so that was a gap that only an upgrade to the new CR-V can rectify. Also, the wheel designs on the non-hybrid CR-V models are HORRIBLE. I also don't like the black wheels with the Sport models. It may technically be better than the 4th gen CR-V, but there were some poor choices made by Honda for this gen of its most popular model.
Accord hybrid is way better in all departments 👏
I think he said the 5th Gen was cheaply made.
I tried 3 different Honda dealers in
Carson, gardena and Torrance( southern California).
All of them treated me like nobody,
Over priced piece of shit.
They want $44,000 for crv hybrid and
$33,000 for hr-v. F'rs.
I bought a Mazda cx5
$3,000 under the msrp.
Screw you honda.
3,000
Here in Leander tx. We paid 500$ less on vehicle plus destination plus TTL
At $40k I would skip the CRV with the cvt transmission. I would get into the Passport with a real transmission.
It's not a CVT.
As usual from these two, they never met a vehicle they didn't like. Though I guess if I got to use a press fleet car for a week or more, I wouldn't knock it either.
They were knocking the CVT transmission in the lesser CRV's. Yet it sounded like they thought the CRV they are reviewing had a regular automatic transmission.
? - We’re guessing you haven’t seen much of our work, as we’ve had plenty of vehicles we haven’t liked and said so on camera. You may have noticed the dislike of the prior CRV mentioned here. And we complain about CVTs consistently - luckily the hybrid system here helps. Thanks for watching!
Have you seen the VW Taos review?!
2 guys reviewing a chick's car. Sad.
? We review everything. Thanks for watching.
so contrived. I hate computers for typing , I hate CD over records , I love Manuals, I hate SUV's... so very boring, Yeah did you hear about the Hollywood ~Rock & Roll Star who died of a Drug Overdose in the Four seasons. He ~she was such a beautiful Soul/.... get a new act:):)
