I put a louder horn, crossbars, mud flaps side mouldings, different rear view mirror that opens garage doors,cargo cover and trailer hitch and wiring for trailer plugs in plug and play and cargo liner,glad she talked me into it it's black with black interior and black wheels, got a comment from young guy at Sam's he said it looked good and as high as gas is glad i got a hybrid.😮

    Awesome video, man! You're right tho - not a lot of beneficial 2023 CRV vids up yet.I love my new CRV - got the Sport Hybrid. Kinda wish I'd sprung for the Sport Hybrid Touring with the bigger touchscreen and Bose system. I'm at less than 500 miles so MPG really can't be measured yet - currently seeing around 38mpg on the current fill up. Love your explanation of the regenerative braking - the dealer didn't explain it at all. Did want to point out that ACC is ADAPTIVE Cruise Control, not Accelerated. Looking forward to your chrome delete video - my model has black everything except for the chrome window trim for some reason. Thinking matte black to match the pillars. Anyway, thanks for the video!

    In B mode you can use throttle to decrease regeneration. Just push throttle in delicately to slow down slower and let off the throttle to slow down faster. Also, using the brake pedal causes regeneration until you max out the green bar. At that point the brakes are applied without higher levels of regeneration.

    For me, buying the CRV hybrid is a purely practical choice as opposed to an emotional one, but an SUV ought to look sporty if not tough. The previous generation was really wimpy looking, but this new generation styling is more aggressive, add tailgate spoiler, bug deflector, and cross bars, and viola, something I can love visually. Fender flares may be a bit too much. I noticed you are using 70mai dash cam, which I’ll take as a good choice. Your videos have great content and you explain things really well. I’m looking forward to the chrome delete around the windows. Thanks!

    The rear bar won’t even remotely fit. I thought maybe I had the wrong ones on, but the front one definitely was way too long for the rear.
    Did you have any difficulty or resistance putting in the rear bar?

    Also, if you plan a long trip and feel the need for a spare tire ( not a bad thing ) you can buy a regular temporary spare and a jack to carry. Often those can be picked up at a salvage yard for cheap. Ask your Honda parts guy what size you need.

      I got my brand new CRV EXL 2023 ( January 2023) now about 1400 miles. The first time connecting with Apple car play is very good, every time I start the car, it automatically connects my iPhone with the audio system and turn on WAZE app, and playing the channel music that I chose in iHeart app before I turn off engine. But about 3,4 days ago, sometimes I started the car, the WAZE app not show up on screen, or the channel music not turn on. If I drove about 5,7 minutes I opened WAZE app, it showed my car still at the place I parked before and the screen froze. I have to open Maps app or Google Maps app instead using WAZE app. Others times, when I start the car, I heard the music from the radio, not from the music app in my iPhone😮. I checked, my iPhone not connected with audio system. Iam busy, so not find out what went wrong 🤔🥺. Thanks for sharing your problems

    • @UCversace
      @UCversace  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Honestly interior quality. Rav4 seats are hard and the design is 4-5 years old. Cx5 just looked more basic to me. Both felt more plasticy compared to the CRV. CRV also just had more interior and trunk space. The new dash also looks super awesome 😎.

    • @TYPICALTRYHARD_
      @TYPICALTRYHARD_ ปีที่แล้ว

      I would say the rav4 and cx5 are pretty comparable in terms of size and engine both have 2.5 litter engine but the cx5 has a 5 or 6 speed auto compared to the rav4 with a cvt which does land the rav4 with better mpgs but if you're more into sporty driving go Honda or Mazda Mazda gives good value for money their interiors do feel more premium but you can kinda tell when they cheap out but for the money it ain't bad also they have well isolated interiors when it comes to what feels more upscale the venza and cx5 are comparable venza having a Lexus like interior cx5 feeling upscale overall it's up to you and what you value and look for

    I still cannot get over how Honda made a new gen hybrid SUV longer than the RAV4 but failed to engineer to hold a spare tire.

The driving experience is the same as driving a Tacoma p/u. Whereas the CRV is more car like. Yes the Toyota system which couples and uncouples starts and stops is the more efficient unit . Toyota put its electric motor on the back axle making them all 4 wheel drive. The dealers around here are all back ordered and production is slow. Honda has bunches of CRV hybrids on the lit with frequent deliveries.

      So thats the “drive” MPG. Its not as accurate. Because its based off when you turn on the car. And resets when you turn it off. The dash MPG of 35.8 is the tank MPG after 220 miles.
      If i just turn on my car and stay in EV mode to the store. It will show 199.9 MPG.

    Once again, I really appreciate your videos. I’m especially interested in your gas mileage as you drive more and more. if you would be so kind as to keep an average gas mileage tally as you move forward it would be wonderful. As far as your dealer goes, it definitely doesn’t seem like they pay attention to detail, it sucks to have such a poor experience. when I purchased my 2022 CRV. I noticed a couple of scratches in the back tailgate and they said they were unable to buff them out so they took the car and repainted the entire tailgate. the answer was we will do whatever it takes to make it right

    • @UCversace

      Im getting between 35-37 consistently now.
      Its advertised as 37 combined.
      I really wished it was a 16 gallon tank instead of 14. I don’t understand why they didn’t. All this fuel efficiency to get a little better total range. But if they kept the tank standard. I could do 500 miles easy between fill ups.
