The sixth generation of Honda’s popular CR-V debuts for 2023. This all-new model represents the largest CR-V evolution to date. It’s bigger and more capable, it’s got a new, truckier look, and it’s got new direction, too. Honda has cut the base LX from the lineup, and they’ve made the Sport and Sport Touring trims both hybrid-only. We took the top-of-the-line Sport Touring out in Santa Barbara to find out just why the CR-V Hybrid is the best CR-V available in 2023.

I just got my sport hybrid this week and love it. It’s such a step up from my 2012 CRV. The drive experience is great, the technology is impressive and makes me feel safe. The seats hug me and the leather steering wheel feels great in my hands. For the price, this is a fantastic car.
Any comment on mpg. I've been reading that the hybrid isn't getting anything near the ratings and what are you getting in yours vs the claims? Please and thx
I like this girl as a reviewer because it's obvious she does her homework. Good job!
I agree!
Great job!
Nice review. A couple of comparative questions: How does highway cabin quietness compare to a Subaru Outback? How does ride comfort and handling compare to an Outback?
I've driven both. But your comparison is apples and oranges. This is a review for a Hybrid. The only Hybrid Subaru has at the moment is the Crosstrek. Outback starts at around $28K CRV Hybrid starts at 32K. To answer your questions. Noise, the nod goes to the Subie, but not by much. Handling, Subie feels a bit tighter, lighter, and sits lower. Because it is. Depending on options, the Subie starts at around 3600 lbs give or take. The CRV Hybrid I believe starts at around 3900-ish. Bottom line, the CRV compares more to the Forester, not as much the Outback. They are both capable, with the off road nod going to Subaru. But at the end of the day, it comes down to how much you're willing to pay and which looks better to you. Me for example, I actually think the new Honda designs are ugly. Their global architecture strategy might save Honda $, but it means copying designs from one model to another. Making them look similar (boring). I prefer the outgoing CRV, heck I am actually getting one of the last 2022 CRV Hybrids myself. But again, matter of personal taste. No I don't work for car gurus, which is why I can say I don't like the look. Most reviewers will say nicer things because they want to be given access to exclusives. Saying bad things might compromise that, so some reviews tend to be neutered. That being said, I actually used to test drive and write about cars and the industry many many many years ago. Peace!
@@edwardavilajr8935 "I actually think the new Honda designs are ugly." Appearance is completely subjective. I, after many years, am starting to like Honda's new designs, both exterior and - especially - interior.
This looks like a great car. I’m having trouble deciding between the sport touring crv and the xle Toyota Venza. Any inputs would be appreciated!
The Toyota seem to be very cheaply made on interior to me when I test drove it. I have went to test drive the CRV and it feels higher quality.
@David Each yet As far as having a flat cargo floor, the CR-V now has a very big step in the middle.
Great Review. This design looks better than the previous one. I don’t like those chrome boxes on the bottom of the bumper.
I agree, those chrome accents don't blend or compliment with anything on the front. I would paint them black or whatever the bumper color might be.
'Very thorough review (what a lot of data to convey!).
Is it bad to say the only thing keeping me from buying one is that orange stitching? Is there just an all black option?
This sport touring is 40,240? A bit more then I wanted to pay but I will be checking it out it at my local dealership.
Did you buy it LOL! You know there is no way you buy it at $40k right? include tax and fee you will be paying at least $42k-43k
Thank you for the review. If I had to choose between the 2023 CRV Touring and the base trim of 2023 Pilot, I would go with CRV. Both are missing rear view camera, 12 inch infotainment screen, and ventilated seats. The Pilot offers IVTM4 AWD, but the CRV offers electric power and fuel economy which is of more benefit to me. BTW, you can replace a single tire on an AWD vehicle by shaving it yo match the wear of the other three.
"Both are missing rear view camera" - Huh? Doesn't *every* new vehicle have that?
@@kenhoward3512 A camera/digital rear view mirror on every car?
@@kenhoward3512 maybe he meant 360 camera as I think even the LX has a backup camera.
Where are the fog lights? Can you even install them as an additional accesory?
You can install em yourself
@@slothypunk Is there an opening (precut) to add them myself?
I get jaded at times as they throw a stunning woman into a review that may not know her stuff but this reviewer covers things that not any other man or woman reviewer covers and explains in easy to understand manner.
I'm ashamed I thought and got ahead of myself assuming this stunning woman was anything less than a excellent reviewer who's ahead of anyone else I've watched review the new CRV.
No fog lights tho smh 😪
It looks like that wireless charger won't hold your phone in place....
Not only do you loose the spare, you also loose the the lug wrench, jack and handle. Apparently they will do anything to save money.
Girl power!! 👍 👧
60-100?
about 2 secs
those rims look like they came from a RAV 4.
Good Review.
Honda says to change the oil every 10K miles. That’s just stupid.
We use Mobile 1 full synthetic oil and change it every 4K miles, even though Mobile 1 says that you can drive it for 10K miles between changes.
Before synthetic oil, I changed my oil every 2,500 miles.
I guess that’s why I can get 300+K miles from my vehicles
I have changed oil on my Mazda 3 every 7k miles, sometimes 10k mikes. 200k miles already. Lets see if i can go 300k.
That's not stupid. Honda might know a thing or two about engines and how to make them last, so listen to them. 1-You must use Honda's genuine fluid, regardless whatever other sellers and mechanics tell you, besides they're just a tad more expensive. 2-The car's computer will tell you when to change it, sometimes it's before the 10K mark.
@@disco.lemonade Obviously you work for Honda.
I’ve only owned 1 Honda and that POS was in the shop CONSTANTLY. That POS should have been painted Yellow !
@@Doc1855 Lmao. Got a Lemon. Haven't you heard? There's not quality like Honda and Toyota.
@@disco.lemonade I’m not lying, it was a lemon.
Even the dealership apologized and they were the ones who said it should have been painted Yellow.
My wife had a 96 Accord with 170K trouble free miles and my brother just sold his 02 Civic with 270K miles with no problems.
I just happened to get a lemon, so I went back to Toyota’s.
Looks much better. If I want a hybrid I get a RAV-4. For Honda, I get a Passport instead.
Interesting that you say that. I used to have a 2017 CRV and currently have a Passport. The Passport is bigger and much better to drive, but it’s a gas guzzler (19 mpg in everyday mixed driving). Over $100 per fill up at the pump in California. That’s easily another monthly car payment.
I’m looking at the 2023 CRV hybrid to get some of the size and oomph of the Passport, without the mpg hit.
As for the RAV4, I just rented one. Decent handling and really easy to drive, with decent cargo capacity. But the rear seat legroom is so much smaller than the CRV, it’s almost in a different size class.
@@adamesd3699 "As for the RAV4, I just rented one. Decent handling and really easy to drive, with decent cargo capacity. But the rear seat legroom is so much smaller than the CRV, it’s almost in a different size class." BUT you get 40 MPG, I have CRV hybrid sport and you will be lucky getting 37 MPG in highway or city. You know what, how about you get RAV4 and we trade LOL. I got black pearl sport crv hybrid just shy 300 miles, I'd rather have 2023 rav4 xse. Had my Toyota dealer have rav4 hybrid in stock I will not buy a Honda
CarGurus are the worst dealership
i know i just got an offer for my truck for $10k under KBB TRADE IN value let alone private party value
@@xXJBrutalXx So don't trade it in, as simple as that! Maybe your truck is not in a good condition in a first place to begin with... who knows. The question becomes can you sell at KBB to other parties than cargurus? If you can't it is a moot argument and just salty talking all around.
Here's what Honda SCREWED UP!
-NO PANORAMIC ROOF
-NO HUD DISPLAY
-NO VENTILATED SEATS
-NO FULL DIGITAL DASH
-NO HYBRID OPTIONS ON LOWER TRIMS
-NO REAR SEAT CONNECTION ON THE EX AND EX-L TRIM AS AN OPTION
-NO AMBIENT LIGHTING
-NO 360° CAMERA
-NO DIGITAL KEY ACCESS ON HIGHER TRIMS
THE PRICING IS NOT JUSTIFIABLE FOR THE LACK OF FEATURES. HONDA ALWAYS BEEN A DAY LATE AND A DOLLAR SHORT. HONDA OFFICIALLY LOST IT'S MAGIC!! AND IF ANYONE MAKE EXCUSES FOR THIS ATROCITY, THEN THEY ARE JUST COMPLACENT AS THIS CR-V. IF THE BANK OF TOYOTA CAN OFFER THOSE FEATURES, SO CAN HONDA!!
"NO AMBIENT LIGHTING "
Does have ambient lighting.
One may ... I don't know ... may have to go to Acura to get some of the other features you noted.
@@TruthHasSpoken Can't change it in 64 colors, though. It's not customisable.
typical overpriced honda junk..🤮
@@jraheemjefcoat429True what you say ... one doesn't buy a Honda to get customization.
@@jrs9264 What I don't like about this Honda and it's a industry design trend, is to widen and heighten the center console. It makes the interior seem smaller and makes the driver much more boxed in because you can't move your right leg, which I like to do on road trips while the car is on cruise control. AWFUL design trend by what I think are designers who actually don't drive the cars as many customers do.
Just another overrated, grossly overpriced fugly Honda. 🤮
