The new CR-V is finally here guys! We’ll be driving one in Nashville, next month so stay tuned for our full driving impressions review later this summer! What do you all think of the new look?
Looks good but still meh.
Definitely looks more rugged. I like their hybrid strategy.
Sofyan having to use his "library" voice is so hilarious. He's typically high-energy in his reviews!
Hey, where are the fog lights? Is Honda getting rid of them or am I missing something?
@@disco.lemonade unfortunately, most manufacturers are starting to ditch them or add them into the headlamp cluster.
Honda hit the jackpot with this. Within a year, one can reasonably expect to see EX-L's and Sport Tourings everywhere. Kudos on this gen! 👏
Totally missed the mark. Looks awful:(
@@GS-sm3jo Honda is actually trash bro just get a mazada, it’s way cheaper too. With higher reliability, Honda is actually making garbage cars now.
@@triton_cwbm1056 where can I get mazada
@@xmykyx search a Mazda dealer
WOW is all I can say!! I have always loved the CRV since gen 1 and this redesign is amazing.
Loved this first look. Straight to the point and very informative as usual.
Honda doing great with these redesigns btw!
So Honda had LED turn signals in the rear before, but they took them out in the redesign lol.
Looks better than the last one for sure. I love Hondas new design language.
Very informative video. Also very good camera work. And hey Redline, you've got a new subscriber 👍👍👍
Thanks man. Really like all your videos. Hands down the best car review channel!
It looks really good. Maybe it's just me but it reminds me a little of the CX-5 from certain angles, which is not a bad thing. It looks more upscale without being too showy. I'm sure that it will continue to sell in high volumes.
Yep, I see it too. In the front-side view angle
The side profile looks more Volvo XC90 or XC60 like, but overall a great car.
This is basically a cx5 and rav 4 for the front end. And a Volvo XC60 on the back still lol
lol of course it does, that what some brands do take a little from other brands to try to take there market share.
It looks like a hyundai from like 5 years ago
4:26 that AWD sticker is a throwback to the first gen CRV it had the same thing but it said “RealTime 4WD”
This is one of the best reviews I’ve seen. Professional and to the point! Subscribed!
What an awesome review 10/10 to you and the camera man. Honda did a great job upgrading these vehicles. I must say that CRV Touring looks amazing.
I’m so glad Honda is finally making more aggressive looking SUVs.
inspired by 2017 Mazda CX-5 :))
Me too..I have owned 4 CRV LX...I did not hear him mention an App to remote start the car from wherever.. Everyone seems to have it. Just wondering.
Better looking vehicle, better tech. I do like the new CR-V. I just wish they offered a panoramic sunroof. ALL mainstream competitors, Toyota, Nissan and even Mazda offer it on their vehicles. Still, a nice improvement.
Mazdas CX-50 has panoroof, but i think there is no ventilated seats option.. CX-5 didn't have a panoroof but maybe the next redesign will have it. For sure it'll get ventilated seats again.
@@lionintu I'm fine with the no ventilated seats thing. The majority of compact SUVs (tho not all) don't have it. But ALL competitors except Honda USA have a panoramic sunroof on their compact SUVs (yes, the Forester's manual opening sunroof is panoramic). The CX-5 doesn't have a pano-roof but the CX-50, similarly sized to the CX-5, has a panoramic sunroof. I suspect the CX-5 will be axed in favor of the CX-50 but I'm not sure tbh.
Bravo Sofyan! You presented us with two trim presentation. The mandatory top of the line trim and the base trim that almost no one reviews as all car reviewers are fed the top trims by default by the manufacturer. The base trim usually looks nothing like the top trim when you buy a car but few people end up buying the top trim car so it is good to see what the base buck version looks like.
Clean and simple design! The reclining backseat is big bonus too! A question though: is the light at the bottom of the backseat Honda's, or is it Redline's light to make the review more bright?
I definitely like it. I wasn’t a big fan of the previous CR-V proportions, it kinda looked like a minivan. I bet I’ll be seeing a ton of these as soon as they’re released.
Looks okay. Not as good as the new Mazda CX50.
A tiny turbo engine, CVT, old fashioned AWD system. I'll pass.
@@rusipathan CX50 uses a Torsion beam suspension terrible on rough roads
I always say it looked like an EGG just like the rest of their suvs. Im glad they going with a boxier style
Sorry, I am not impressed with the looks so far😞
Why would they downgrade the rear turn signal into a halogen, last gen had LED turn signals all around
*Incandescent
Nah bener tuh udh bagus" LED eh malah halogen
They also took out the left side of the passengers back seat pocket.... Like what the heck
Money
New look aside, many manufacturers strip features off popular models to save money or charge them as options. Someone at Honda decided the CRV brand is strong enough that they can do whatever they want and most people that want a CRV will still buy it.
I would buy this. Hopefully they have better wheel design for other trims. I like that it doesn’t look like a mini van anymore
Beautiful shots btw🙌 love the far view and slow close upsw
It is definitely edgy and more aggressive. I love the interior and rims especially in the sport touring trim. Imo the head lights remind me of Mazda in the way they are shaped not necessarily how they look. Also easy tune ups 👌.
That blue crv looks beautiful..currently owe a 2020 but this one is a 10/10
Yeah I've been wanting Honda to offer this exact blue then what they currently have out now which is too dark.
@@volcalstone yes , soon 2 be in the streets
Love your review. Very detailed and not so many unnecessary noises.
Perfect timing! I was looking at cars to buy and saw the current CR-V and thought it’s time for them to update it! Then I opened TH-cam to find this video
You and savagegeese are getting the earliest access from my feed now, well done. Can't wait for 1M subs.
Is Navratil as effective as Viagra?
Never thought I’d actually put the CR-V on my shopping list. Nice.
it’s just as uninspiring as the old version🥱
@@kristians2704 No one is shopping in this segment for "inspiring" models.
@@tylersmith4265 exterior and interior looks do matter imo. Most, if not all of its rivals do it better.
@@tylersmith4265 CX-5 Is inspired but less roomy. Maybe next year's CX-5 Will address that space issue, but I doubt it. However it will offer hybrid.
@@kristians2704 nah. This is a class leading vehicle just tied with the Koreans
This absolutely blows the rav4 out of the water in just about every category as is typical with Honda
So the crv is totally fine
I am so impressed with the reviewer's delivery and thoroughness. Every spec that one could care about was covered.
Great review, thank you!
Looks so nice! I'm happy they went away with the push buttons for transmission. Looks awesome.
I have owned a 3rd gen (2009) and currently a 4th gen (2015). Im liking everything that the new crv is bringing to the table except for the no flat load floor and that the hybrid can only tow 1/2 a ton. The 3rd gen had the true flat load floor and the 4th attempted to be flat but there was no hump unlike the newest gen. It may be minor but moving boxes and other equipment, it becomes a hinderance.
Great review! Is it just the camera or are the led headlights really blue?
Awesome first look video! Very informative and honest! Thanks!
I like the re-design-outside looks good and sportier, and for the most part inside looks better and I’m glad they did away with the push button transmission. But, no pano roof or digital dash on upper trims is crazy (unless they plan to be less than ALL the competition). You can get that on an Escape, on a Rav4, Nissan Rogue etc. Also they should have increased gas engine HP. They made it larger but still same engine. The rogue got smaller but now it’s 201hp. Basically they are forcing you to get the hybrid upper trims if you want any semblance of pep.
Civic is released with all digital dash. HRV and CRV follow without. No thanks.
Honestly I do t want a pano roof. I had a hero with one one time and every time I drove out in the country , things would fall off the trees and hit the glass.
@@besurreal I live in a rural area and have never had anything hit my roof/pano....
@@2thfairyrdh oh I have several times.
A lot of woods with branches over the roads.
I think that honeycomb dash will be a huge dust magnet and I'm not a fan of those black wheels but I'm glad they don't have the push button shifter that nobody was asking for
The new CR-V looks sharp! My only issue is with the rear incandescent turn signals-does anyone know why Honda designs things this way? Is this like a circuitry limitation or something? Kinda reminds me of cars that have power windows in the front & crank windows in the back lol. My 2020 Accord is similar where all lighting is LED…except for the rear turn signal bulbs. For continuity’s sake, I wish they’d go all LED. Incandescent bulbs feel super antiquated lol.
Got a Gen 1 and works wonderfully.
Exterior is so great. Interior as well. One of the nicest this year
Btw, don't need any panorama, hate them
Finally! I’ve been waiting too long for Honda to finally ditch their boring designs. Simple yet aggressive! That sport touring is what I’ve been waiting for. I can’t wait to see what the pilot looks like. I’m definitely going to trade my 21 CR-V in for that one.
Also, I love your shoes, Sofyan!
Same. My 2017 CRV for 23 Pilot
And this design is STILL boring compared to the Honda Breeze or the Avancier. Weak sauce from Honda this side, acting as though we're being given their best.
My uncle is trading in car every four months.
@@LXNL Hey, I understand, but I’ll take it compared to what they’ve been rolling out these past few generations. I personally just want something simple with a few tech upgrades.
@@sengyang6780 There’s seems to always be something better coming out every year. I feel his pain.
Does the oil dilution feature come standard on all trims?
I love everything about this. That Canyon River Blue is to die for.
I'm sure the reason why the sport touring doesn't have the full 10inch display is because of chip shortages, maybe...
Not including panoramic roof, HUD and some sought of ambient lighting even as options in the cabin is a missed opportunity, nevertheless I'm pleased with this and it makes my shopping list 😊
No remote start??
And no rear LED turn signals
@@Zoeymycat It does have remote start built into the key.
it looks absolutely amazing!
Anyone know if a full sized spare tire can be placed inside where the temp tire is located and still be able to cover it with the cover? Thank you in advance.
Can’t wait to see the 2024 2.0 accord😊
2024
I'm liking the exterior and some of the upgrades on to the interior.
however I'm extremely baffled as to why they downgraded the turn signal to a regular old incandescent when the old gen has full LED and then there's no lever to fold down the seat which the previous generation had. Can't even say they're cutting corners since this one will be more expensive than the previous generation.
Exactly, I agree 100%
It’s a total downgrade.
the previous gen also had a panoramic sunroof and rear heated seats, idk why they cut on these features as they are really looked at by the customer
@@antoinevermette8769 they cut them, because their market research shows in the US those features aren’t as utilized or ordered by dealers. It’s the same reason the new civic SI in the us does not come with vented seats or a heated steering wheel, but in Canada they are available. They assume cutting them will not affect their bottom lines
They also need to have a field to come with some upgrades with models released in coming years
just saying the base trim of the last CRV had halogen headlights. It totally makes no sense as the reverse lights are LED here and I'd gladly take those being incandescent as opposed to the turn signals since they're used so little. Also it's senseless they don't even switch them up to LED in the more expensive trims
Have they fixed the warping dashboards and warping front grills in previous gen CRV when parked under sun?
You sure a good job with your videos. This was very informative. Thanks.
ventilated seats are must have for many states like CA, TX, FL, these are states with high population, I wonder why would Honda just ignore the demand.
I'm in Canada. Both our current vehicles have vented seats. I'm not downgrading. Once you have vented seats you don't go backward. Huge disappointment Honda
Because they want to sell Acuras.
Gorgeous dash. I'm glad they're using that design across the board on all their products. Variety is pointless when most people only own one car.
The Tesla effect has a lot of dashboards embracing the horizontal elements now. I like it!
@@keithartworker I'm pretty sure they're inspired by the first civic and other retro interiors in their lineup than tesla
@@shivamarya5225 you're right, I actually was gonna ramble on and on about 60's 70's American Car dashes embracing the "horizontal". At the time, the real fun was happening with the Saab, driver centered, aircraft inspired interiors. I think the minimal Tesla model 3 interiors had first time viewers in disbelief that it wasn't an unfinished prototype. It sent a zig message to everyone else's zag. I'm happy for shakeup. Wouldn't it be great to be a fly on the wall at internal car design presentations? That would be very insightful.
@@keithartworker interesting take but I do feel like concept interiors has always been minimalsitc. It was was only the manufacturing and cost constrains and the buttons and vents that made them more cluttered but also useable, but the thing I like with Honda's new one interiors is that they're minimalistic but doesent do away with any buttons or practicality to make it so, everything is not put on a screen which does reduce a lot of weight and manufacturing time which is also what tesla was after
@@shivamarya5225 Agreed. Honda's cleverly tight slogan in the 70's was:"We make it Simple." (Works on many levels). It appears that are tipping their cap to that heritage.
Back seat room is awesome! BEST IN CLASS!
Wow now this is an upgrade. Love it !
Really nice design, Hybrid is the one to get
i wonder why honda didnt provide the 2023 crv's with full led tailights like that on the just released 2023 hrv?
The previous gen CRV had full LED taillights as well
LMAO at 6:19, when your showing the dash, your walking outside! SImpsons moment, cartoons dont have to make sense.. haha. That broke my head.
great review thank you.
Wow! Well done Honda....this is a HUGE improvement over the current generation CRV. However, the new tail lights are a tad bit similar to that of the new CX-5 re-design as well...interesting, not a bad move ha! Great review as always!
How do you see Mazda in these clearly Volvo looking headlights?
It’s perfect, wish the rear turn signals were LED but I can live without it. Hopefully it’s not too much more expensive then before, planning on getting a ex-l trim
Yeah, in this day and age every trim of every car should have all led lighting all around. It's cheap technology and far superior. It makes no sense not to use them everywhere.
You can add LED lighting yourself. Yeah it should have already had it, but it's not like it's impossible to add yourself
Me personally I prefer a regular incandescent bulb from the factory, and I will swap out to a good quality LED bulb myself.
Replacing a whole tail light or headlight is not fun compare to a bulb.
@@mr.grumps3544 When the previous gen had a LED turn signal and then they downgrade to a regular old incandescent it really makes you wonder what exactly was their thought process there.
Car manufacturers always cheapen out somewhere. It's quite odd in '22 that they'll still opt for Halogen over LED. One day.. maybe one day lol
will this be the same cr-v for canada? i hope they add the pano roof and heated/ventilated seats. are the new ones come with heared steering wheel too?
Is there room for a spare tire in the hybrid or is it missing as in the 2022s?
Yessssssss! This it! I have a 2018 CRV, and I’m definitely looking to get into one of these! Love the new design.
I would think that Honda would offer the tu tone seats on the sport touring instead of the entry level CRV. They look a lot better.
it looks so good!
Looks awesome😍
I love how Honda is keeping the physical gear lever and not following the trend of dial gear selector! Honda’s design and reliability is the reason I love them!
Me too. Driving a 2006 Honda Ridgeline. Still in very good condition but it is time for a new vehicle. ❤️❤️
I have the buttons on the old one and it saves so much space
@@user-pg9fv7su8q I have the buttons in my last two Acura's and it is the worse design ever. Give me a shifter all day. Doesn't save any space either.
@@GoofieNewfie it literally gets rid of a shifter that's in the way
@@user-pg9fv7su8q How does that save space though? And what is the shifter blocking????
I like it, but there are small details that are a downgrade from my 2018. The wheels are not as modern looking, yeah I get why they got rid of foglights but they are still a nice feature, the quick seat latches are really nice when your hands are full, and the driver display
Thank you for the explanation
Does the 2023 crv touring have stop start feature?
I like this redesign all around. I've never been a fan of Honda's interiors at all. That's one of the main reasons why I've never purchased one, but I would totally buy the sport touring trim. It's super sharp all around and I love the color as well.
Honda has nice interiors… Chevy and Ford kind of suck with that in this segment.
I love the styling but no panoramic sunroof is a dealbreaker for me
Does the hybrid come with spare wheel?
Will Honda offer Honda Link in the CR-V? I’d love to be able to start my car with my phone since my office is not within range of my parking lot.
Honda seems to be lagging for a while now. They’ve got dated and small screens compared to the rest of the market. Still no panoramic sunroof, no ac seats, no Nav in the cluster, no 360° camera. Unfortunate to see.
& this comment is from a disappointed perspective, not a “hater” perspective - I’ve owned ‘02 accord v6, ‘05 civic, ‘02 RSX, ‘92 civic hatch, ‘09 civic Si, ‘14 accord V6 (current). Was hoping these next gens would be the time to upgrade. Might need to switch brands finally.
Nice overview - you’re doing great work. Long time subscriber .
The fact that they haven't added ventilated seats to the touring trim is very frustrating. I was hopeful since the Toyota RAV4 has them that maybe Honda would at least try and compete by adding this one feature that most people expect on a top trim level vehicle
wow just wow.. hope i can get it asap..
How much can we expect the price to be for the sport one. I love the look
I like the more masculine design. I like the standard size sunroof and the new large center console. I like that they went with matte black plastic in the high touch areas like the steering wheel buttons and console area. Not too much piano black plastic. Nice new shifter design. Disappointed that they left out the handles to lower the rear seats and ventilated seats. Those were features I was looking for. I would like to know if the EX-L trim includes or offers driver memory seating and the Chi cell phone charger pad.
It has both memory seats and Qi wireless charger.
Very nice. I'd personally give it 10/10 for exterior and interior.
It is an improvement for sure. However, I’m not sure why they would get rid of the digital display. The touring model from 22 has an all digital display. I also noticed they switched the rear turn signals from LED to incandescent.
What r the chrome exhaust trims on the front for
Beautiful💙
Not boring looking like the hrv or civic !!
This design is extremely handsome, dare I say best in segment without being overstyled. But no ventilated seats and pano moonroof is unacceptable. Copy and paste civic interior is lazy imo.
Is the Sport only a hybrid or could I get the 1.5t as an option?
I want one!! Do you know when they will be available?
I think this design will age really well!
No cooled seats is actually a deal breaker for me. My current 2021 CX5 grand touring reserve has cooled seats so getting the new CRV would be a downgrade. Sad because I’d love to get back into a Honda but my Mazda continues to beat the competition. Performed-wise too. Can’t go wrong with 280 horse power turbocharged AWD performance.
Me too, so hot here in Dallas!
The CX-5 Grand Touring Reserve has 250 HP with 93 grade gas so how does your car have 280 HP?
Same! It's so stupid bc I was interested in the new CR-V but it STILL doesn't have cooled front seats or a panoramic sunroof 🤦🏽♂️🙄
@@NileshR12 ah you’re right. Yes 250 not 280. 😣 but boy does it feel like 280 when that boost kicks in. If only Honda would put the civic type r engine in a CRV. 😲
I love the new style of the CRV. I’m curious to what changes are made to the inside
Excellent review
By far one of the best looking SUV to date. Honda knocked it out the park.
Now if they can just give us the picnic table back that would be awesome.
I think they really nailed the HRV design too
Current Rav4 looks way better.
LOL!! Wow, they’ve had all these years and they’re STILL outdated as hell and the competition still destroys them. I’m SO glad I went with the redesigned 2022 Tucson Hybrid Limited!
- No pano roof (Tucson has it)
- No 360 cam (Tucson has it. Inexcusable not to have it at this point. Over a decade old feature in all other brands now.)
- No cooled seats (Tucson has it)
- Only a 9” infotainment screen (Tucson has a gorgeous widescreen 10.25”. Can even get a 12” on the new Kia Sportage)
- Only offers half digital, half analog gauge cluster - No fully digital gauge cluster. (Again, Tucson has this. Even the new Civic does)
Hopefully, you leased the Tucson. Hyundai/Kia vehiclea are known to be far less reliable and durable in the long term.
@@zarbon700 Nope! The new Tucson Hybrid has been very reliable. Plus the 10 yr warranty will take care of any potential issues, which I doubt I’ll have any. This is my third Hyundai and I’ve never had issues. I take great care of them and they take great care of me. Best features and styling and value for the money!
yeah but the tucson and every other new hyundai and kia is ugly 💀💀
@@nateb7793 And the CRV’s new interior looks cheap as hell, but they’re charging more than the Koreans for less. Make that make sense lol!
One thing that Korean twins lack is wireless carplay for the bigger screen, somehow, they can’t even figure out how to incorporate wireless function to the bigger screen, which is laughable after all these years, pretty much every other brands have wireless carplay nowadays.
Will there be a plug-in hybrid version of the new CR-V?
does touring hybrid comes with panoramic moonroof?
The previous gen had LED turn signals front and back lol. Why do manufacturers still insist on keeping 1 or 2 incandescent bulbs instead of full LED already.
It could be components shortage. Some people say supply problems will continue even in 2024.
@@michaels3003 I could see that with other tech, but LED lights??
@@ItzApp , yes it is possible. It is not just microcontrollers. If I had time, I would contact Honda, but I don't.
@@michaels3003 lol I wouldn’t have time either. I’m just trying to understand their reasoning.
I have never liked CRVs but this has changed my opinion. And if the CRV looks like this, I can’t wait to see what the Pilot will look like 🤗
Did previous Pilot have ventilated seats option?
@@lionintu the current one has ventilated seats, only on the elite and black edition.
Same here
with all keyless how do you get in if a dead battery?
Does this new CR-V have the lane watch camera system?
The Sport Touring looks great. The EX looks very meh/plain to me. I’m curious what the “sport” trim will look like.
The only thing I dislike is the fact that the rear turn signals are incandescent bulbs when the current generation model is full LED. Other than that it looks amazing
Incandescent bulbs light fades then comes back on...which for a turn signal is effective
@@ricric8348 thanks for explaining how an incandescent bulb works captain obvious

Beautiful CRV. Great review. I’d just miss my GEN 1 picnic table version. Guess I’m stuck in the past.
I’m stuck too! Where is the WD-40?
