  • The Honda CR-V is the Japanese brand's attempt at a large SUV. Can it justify its steep pricetag? Does it handle as well as its competitors? Can the CR-V be the ultimate car for back-seat passengers? Mat gives his full verdict on the CR-V, and takes a close-up look at the practicality, driving and all the clever little features designed to make this a great large family car in our 4k video review

    We have just bought this vehicle March 2017 new costing £37.600 with every extra available sensing etc etc. I have never had a Honda always M Class Toyota Audi but i have to tell the viewers it is without doubt the best built, best ride, best practicality its the 160 bhp 9 speed auto. It is incredible to drive does everything you could need....
    Unlike the reviewer it is an absolute doddle to work the touch screen sat nav phone etc not difficult at all..the keyless entry and memory seats are an absolute god send. The exon lights are incredible and when they light up the side of the road when you turn not a gimmick but very useful...If you are thinking of a Crossover this is the one its built better than all the other vehicles I have owned and whats more its a nice place to be in.

      I bought mine used with every extra added and looks exactly like the one in this video! In comparison to what else is out there with similar spec, it's a fantastic car. My only annoyance with it is the economy at speed. Because it's such a big car, it tends to drink fuel quickly on a run. But otherwise, a fantastic car and better than the newer hybrid models that struggle to match the economy of the diesel.

    I love the crv. Yes it may be abit more expensive than others but it is the hond quality that you pay for which is top class and is better than any toyota or Mercedes benz or vw. I would buy a crv without even thinking about it. Long live Honda.

    Great review. I got the 2016 CRV VTI-L ( I'm live in Australia by the way) and we don't have as many of the Diesel variants here. Mostly all 2L or 2.4L petrol. Mine is the 2.4L 4WD and it's not noisy at all. The ride and handling is good. I've only used the paddles once just for a bit of fun. All in All I really can't fault my CRV and I'm really happy with it. I should have bought one years ago I think.

    Hi Matt, I happened to spot a small error when the camera shifted over to the trip computer to display the fuel economy. The display was not that of the CRV, but i reckon of a RAV4.... 5:24
    Must have been a mix up while editing the video. That said, it was a great review!!!

    Everyone is obsessed with diesel! I found the 2.2 i-DTEC has a fair amount of turbo lag and was also very noisy at tick over. I can't comment on the 1.6 diesel as I never test drove it but for a car this size and weight I feel a 1.6 will be working rather hard. The 2.0 petrol can still shift if you put your foot to the floor, it just doesn't feel like it because of the linear manner upon which it accelerates. It's a far more refined and relaxed drive which suits this car. The CRV was never about performance, get a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT if you want all out performance in an SUV at similar money but be prepared for woeful reliability. I do wish Honda offered the 2.4 petrol in the CRV in the UK though.

    I'm thinking of moving towards buying a Mazda CX-5 as apparently they handle really well around corners, the 2.2 diesel engine is very quiet and some have great mpg figures/low tax. I really like Honda as a brand and may still get a CRV but to get leather seats it would be the EX model which is more expensive to tax and insure and the CX-5.

  • @chrissorreda4982
    @chrissorreda4982 8 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    I've always loved hondas and it's no different with the CR-V. Yeah it can be a little more expensive than the competition but it's one of the biggest and most spacious CUV in it's class! Plus the almost unrivaled combination of solidity and comfort you get from hondas. I personally might opt for the CX-5 just because i like this current gen's overall package better, but hopefully the next gen CR-V gets stuff from the newer civic. That would be a gem.

    Hope this ones infotainment system actually works, traded my brand new CR-V less than six months in. Sometimes the system wouldn't even turn on, just a black screen. I see they didn't move the USBs from inside the center console; heaven forbid you actually put stuff in there. Found it a hassle to plug and unplug the USBs while driving; when the unit kept saying cable disconnected... When it clearly hadn't. Lovely car otherwise, as long as you literally only use it for driving to places you know. I do miss the space!

    The CRV is excellent in just about every way you can measure it but it rides like a bouncy boxcar truck. They really should do something to improve ride quality. Only when you have a full load and stick to newly paved blacktop do you get a smooth comfortable ride.
