not for me. This looks the most plain vanilla car Honda has ever made , and that's bad bcuz Honda has an overly staid/conservative/dorky rep ,unlike toyota/lexus which really broke out of its shell over time. This car is identical almost to the VW's over the past 4-8 yrs. Yuk
@@daweigo6851as many reviewers have noted, the ride is not as nice as the prior gen. Very disappointed w/ this release myself. The Toyota is probably objectively superior, unfortunately, particularly w/ a Hybrid version
Thank you for explaining the head space in the 2nd row! I thought I was going crazy wondering why it felt small for my head (I'm 5' 10"). Apart from the 2nd row feeling short on head space, I really do love this vehicle. Would be nice if Honda didn't compromise the head space in the second row
Honda deserves credit for retaining physical climate controls however their infotainment screen at 9 inchs looks pretty weak and almost dated already when bulk of opposition are now typically 11-12 inch at a minimum (at least on higher spec cars ) especially given suggested pricing...
I ordered the 2024 CRV Hybrid Touring in Urban Grey Pearl yesterday, was informed it will be ready for me to pick up from the dealer next week Wednesday. Absolutely love how it drives, suspension is excellent, lots of room/comfort & very quiet cabin with plenty of power. Also absolutely love the Bose system. Can’t wait to pick it up!
@@wmichaelk7940 yes very much so, I’m approaching 10,000 km with it. I have absolutely no complaints. Happy buyer such comfortable seats. I feel like I’m driving on a cloud. Getting 800 km on a full tank of gas when driving in Econ mode. 🙃
It will be extremly expensive in EU and UK. Hybrid version will be about 10000 euros or pounds more expensive than in USA!!! It seams that americans didn't hear about war in Ukraine, inflation or chip shortages.
I wish we could get this version in the US. I can't find a model online that has all the ugly black trim painted white, such as this model. It looks fantastic this way - dare I say - Volvo-esque. They really should offer the larger v4 from the RX in this car, as well. Or give us a better PHEV - with extra power. Love the new design, however.
I drive a Volvo XC60 and agree the new CRV is similar looking for a whole lot less $. But the model shown in this video is different than what’s offered in U.S. in 2023. I prefer the front that’s shown in this video. Wish it was available in the States.
ya might want to point out that the shifter is not the shifter installed in the actual production cars! Ie production units have no lever, just buttons! Pretty weird they gave u a test car with the old system!~??
I'M CURRENTLY OWNER OF 2019 CRV. I LOVE MY CAR BUT THE ONLY THING THAT I DON'T LIKE CVT! IT'S ACTUALLY RUNS SO SMOOTH AND GIVES QUICK POWER BUT I STILL WANT TO FEEL REAL TRANSIMMISON. AS LONG AS THEY DON'T STOP CVT CRAP I'M NOT GONNA GET NEW ONE. I'LL PROBABLY GO FOR LEXUS !
WOW!!! That's something that I was waiting for. Happy to see the new changes in every aspect of this new model. The interior is just wow. But it should have looked a little bit taller as judging by what is being said, if you get a person over 6 foot tall, head room would be a big issue at the back! But overall, it's great satisfaction to see this new variant.
erm, u dn't want it to 'look taller' u want it to BE taller. This issue is a big deal, and has been noted about the driver's seat in the Rav4 as well! Things are going downhill with the to kings of cars and it's really depressing to watch.
Just ordered a Hybrid Sport Touring at MSRP + $2K but with lifetime motor warranty from the dealership. Our '14 CR-V has been extremely reliable, so if the new one is anything like that, we probably won't need the lifetime warranty. 😅
This will be too expensive if the pricing turns out to be correct. Also puts it into the premium road fund licence bracket, which is bound to put private buyers off. Honda seem to believe many current CR-V owners will buy a ZR-V instead but I think they may be sadly mistaken. The new ZR-V sits lower and the styling is not that attractive, obviously designed in the US to compete with the Ford Escape (Kuga) as has similar styling. Honda Europe always make the mistake of thinking they have a premium product and price it that way but when you drive one it doesn't feel all that premium. Current CR-V has rattly plastics and lots of tyre noise for example.
Interesting observation about the tyre noise. Our 2005 Pilot has lousy noise isolation be it road noise or wind. Great vehicle but I drove a 2023 Subaru Forester VCT and I found it very quiet.
At least they have addressed the miserable towing limit after they dropped the diesel. But price does seem eye watering so probably my current diesel model is my last Honda.
What market is this model for? The front end bumpers are a huge improvement over the 2023 US models. I would go into a dealership lot this weekend if the US models shared the same front-end design. We get the awful polygon air vents up front.
Great review, thank you. We currently have a CR-V for the Mrs and really want to get a plug in hybrid, but the latest offering from Honda not including AWD will have us looking elsewhere. 😢
arrg. In the UK 4500mm ish SUV’s like the Qashqai sell the best. Toyota might fill this gap with the Corolla Cross, but where is Honda’s SUV of this size? The HRV is too small and this CRV is too big! EDIT: OK, just looked on Honda’s website and there is something called the ZRV (4568mm long) in the pipeline.
The design looks great, very sharp inside and out. Being a Honda it will be well put together and last (just about) forever given my experience with the brand. Pricey but then so are all it's rivals. Quality comes at a price though.
This time Honda gets it right. Exterior is looks a part from other cars of his class. Very close to X3, there is definitely a big improvement and on par to Mazda. And when it comes to reliability, well, it beats all car hands down
We bought an HRV. Smaller engine but the principle is the same. It’s really very good, better than my last car which was an excellent yet flawed Suzuki. We are getting around 62mpg in slowish local driving, and yet I still got a speeding ticket when I really do not want to speed. I was afraid to brake because I didn’t want to lose momentum, I think. We wanted the Crosstar Jazz thingy and even ordered one, and the following day were told that they couldn’t get our car for at least a year… I’ll be dead soon so that was ridiculous. Anyway, the Honda system is superb.
That is why Toyota, Nissan and Mazda all follow with this hybrid design, albeit with different battery capacities. I put down a deposit for the new 2024 Jazz elegance in Greece. Delivery probably in the end of summer.
@@dingdong5601it is a hybrid plus it’s UK mpg which is more generous than US. My mums Kia Niro has achieved as high as 76mpg which is really good even when converting into US mpg considering it runs on a small battery and an engine yet still offers good amount of space.
God dang it and I just recently bought a 23 Crv EXL and now they announce the plunging hybrid for 24 I wonder how much they would give my 23 EXL toward that plunging hybrid. Is probably going to cost like the rav4 prime around 62k dollars in the US. I would have to put 25k out of pocket after trade in.
I just bought the previous version, aware the new one was likely to cost a lot more. I think I made a good decision. The issues with the old one are the clunky tech and the lack of a spare wheel. The old one is also more economical.
Omg the eu plug in hybrid with the paint matching fenders looks so much better than the us spec it makes me glad I didn’t buy one. I’m waiting until this is in the states or I won’t buy
01:06 - "Pretty much everything is bigger" - Oh...finally an American Honda 02:04 - Well, they saw that the infotainment they made in the past was so bad that they'd stick to buttons for the climate controls again.
I like the fact that the plug in hybrid can recharge from the engine too, I often wondered why this wasn't a feature on other models. I'm sure that others will now follow suit, but £50k+?? Crikey
They all do, not just the Honda. The problem is that it takes an awful long time to charge the much bigger battery and it is actually very inefficient and therefore the fuel economy tanks.
If the system is similar to a Clarity the mileage will be better than expected. The Clarity is a 4200+ lb car that gave us 40+- miles/gallon at Interstate speeds when we drove across the U.S.
I've reached an age where I'm thinking "something to last, that won't break down, is unassuming, practical, economical". This might be the Yeti for this decade were it not for the price...
Not sure whats going on here, What Car praising a not VAG product, but still some glaring biased. The What Car CX-60 review was hard on the Mazda, but it was first not to cannibalise boot space for batteries - which is larger anyway, has a 2.5T towing capacity vs the Hondas 1.5T. What Car also compared the CX-60 to it's premium rivals - but the Honda gets a free pass here despite the projected price. What has Mazda done to upset you all? Can see why other non-print channels have a larger subscriber base - time to re-adjust that biased?
Damn, I was waiting for this to hit in Australia, but wanting a 7 seat option for kids etc. makes me wonder if I should jump on the current model, 7 seat option as it’s reasonably priced atm
This CRV is a really sharp-looking. I never liked the look of the previous generations but this one is definitely a huge improvement.
could not agree more.very true
This one looks so much better than the American version lol.
not for me. This looks the most plain vanilla car Honda has ever made , and that's bad bcuz Honda has an overly staid/conservative/dorky rep ,unlike toyota/lexus which really broke out of its shell over time. This car is identical almost to the VW's over the past 4-8 yrs. Yuk
Much better and cleaner bumper than gawdy U.S. front end design.
Nice design, but the prices of cars these days is ridiculous.
Looks really nice but Honda have priced me out so no brand new Cr-v's for me now!
❤😅
😊😅😮😂❤
Probably me too. I wish the govt would increase the 40k higher tax threshold. I refuse to pay the circa £560 for such an arbitrary figure.
Why is Australia getting the lower grade dashboard and no plug in hybrid version??? Very disappointing.
European version looks much better than US version. Less plastic
This looks so much better than the US version. Why?
Better taste of non American buyers?
Different from what we have in the USA, I have the EXL which is regular gas model. I like it, but the one in the video has better options.
I like the improved styling and infotainment screen. Retaining heating controls is also a winner. Don’t like the suggested increase in starting price.
I'd buy one soon if Honda supplied a tucked away space saver spare in the US version.
Honda have absolutely killed it with this, Fantastic Design 👍
Hopefully it drives better😮
@@daweigo6851as many reviewers have noted, the ride is not as nice as the prior gen. Very disappointed w/ this release myself. The Toyota is probably objectively superior, unfortunately, particularly w/ a Hybrid version
Honda got very serious this time with this CR-V
why so different than the US model? This has all the extra features I was really hoping for in the US......digital dash, cooled seats, HUD, pano roof
Honda have absolutely hit the nail on the head with the styling ! well done Honda.
I prefer the front of this one over the one sold in North America.
Thank you for explaining the head space in the 2nd row! I thought I was going crazy wondering why it felt small for my head (I'm 5' 10"). Apart from the 2nd row feeling short on head space, I really do love this vehicle. Would be nice if Honda didn't compromise the head space in the second row
yep. It's kinda unbelievabe but this is the compromise w/ hightech/hybrid or EV's even generally.
I have just bought a new January 2023 VTI-LX CRV. I like its design style much better than the new design. No regrets.
It looks better than previous gens, however the head of the car is a little too long for its proportion.
The Newly announced Hyundai Sante Fe, soon to be followed by the New Kia Sorento will kill this car stone dead.
WTF!? why does this look better & more sporty than the American Honda accord? Honda isn't making good sense to me.
I like it! It's the Civic for me but if I was looking for a SUV, this would get serious consideration. 👍
Great no-nonsense review btw.
Honda deserves credit for retaining physical climate controls however their infotainment screen at 9 inchs looks pretty weak and almost dated already when bulk of opposition are now typically 11-12 inch at a minimum (at least on higher spec cars ) especially given suggested pricing...
Who cares, 9 inches is big enough, having a pissing match between infotainment screens is entirely arbitrary
It reminds me of the Volvo xc60

Great job. Honda is showing signs that they are understanding what is design, comfort and features. This is the CRV that I was waiting for.
It will be extremly expensive in EU and UK.
Hybrid version will be about 10000 euros or pounds more expensive than in USA!!!
It seams that americans didn't hear about war in Ukraine, inflation or chip shortages.
Why no option to replace the black rims ? 10:45

Power passenger seat? Up and down? HP on Hybird?
If the 2024 plug-in hybrid CRV is priced from £50,000, it offers absolutely no value for money.
This version has been on sale for a year in the US! Why is it so late getting here?
USA versions are non PHEV.
US is larger market.
50g for cr-v? Honda's taking a piss now
Is this coming to the USA as well? When?
Looks great but £50k is a bit rediculous, especially with the 'luxary' £40k tax.
Just ordered a Hybrid Sport Touring at MSRP + $2K but with lifetime motor warranty from the dealership. Our '14 CR-V has been extremely reliable, so if the new one is anything like that, we probably won't need the lifetime warranty. 😅

How's the performance hanging road test?

We need Pilot PHEV and Odyssey PHEV in Europe !!
Great CRV Plug In EV vehicle for Boston and the horrible traffic ….
When you say new CRV, are you referring to 2023 or 2024 model?
10 times better looking than the old, which was soft and round looking. This looks fresh and sharp!

Super comment on the first time I see you have a great day😮
Has been issues with the turbo in some markets
Will be interesting to see if it sells
I hope the US gets this look. What I don't like is that there is no spare tire.
The new CR-V has been completely redesigned. the Japanese automaker did a helluva job.
We do have 7-seat CR-V here in Thailand. Only in 1.5T models though
It is a practical car with clean design. No fancy but just right. It would become my next daily.

Hehe
Smart decision: same color for body, bumpers and cladding. It looks right
Still no matrix headlights in 2023?
Love it so far. Hope, I can say the same for the price at launch.

Why would you? It burns extra fuel to charge the battery and with the efficiency losses in the process will get you less far eventually
