I just bought a Touring ( I hope the fuel in oil problem doesn't get me) and if I didn't watch this video, I would have thought the S on the transmission selector meant SECOND (yes, I realize how stupid that sounds with a CVT). Great job!
Are you having any problems with yours, looking at one today
Just FYI you also get an upgraded sound system in the Touring as well as ambient lighting in the interior door handles and foot area. Great video!
How is yours holding up? I am looking at one today
@@j.m.p8051 I love it! Great on gas, snow lots of room for a family of 4 and very practical to park in small spaces. You’ll love it for years to come!
I just bought the 2018 EX-L (no navigation). There's no need to add navigation as you can feed it through your phone via the Apple Play /Android Auto that comes standard. I paid an extra $750 to add roof rails and crossbars and about $350 for the hands free lift gate. The other stuff didn't really matter much to me. So I paid an extra $1100 to get all I wanted vs paying an extra $3000 to upgrade to the touring.
I waited 2 years to ask you how does she run after 2 years and did you have any oil dilution problems?
@@1nvd She's running great so far and no oil dilution problems (knock on wood). The only issue I've had is a strange glitch with the touch screen turning on and off randomly by itself. Honda fixed the problem though and all is well.
That is assuming you have an Apple or Google smartphone and you like the programs for the GPS. I have neither, so I like the car's built-in navigation as it's always there and works great.
@@lapis591 No, any Android phone, I believe above Android 6, can run Android Auto and and any Android phone, above I believe Android 9, has Android Auto built in.
This is exactly the comparison I was looking for. REALLY helpful!! Thanks so much for taking the time to do it!
Thanks!!!
Thank you so much, I was going back and forth on this. So glad I found your video. The Touring is nice but the EXL is the better value for me, I know this now because of your video, keep up the good work. Consumers need more people like you with informative videos that aren't sell pitches.
Glad you benefited from it! I really appreciate it!
Amazing Quality, Very Professional & Outstanding video!
Thanks!
The Touring model has the following features over the EX-L with NAVI : Hands-Free Access Power Tailgate , LED Headlights (low and high beam) , Rain-Sensing Windshield Wipers , 330-Watt Premium Audio System with 9 Speakers including subwoofer and dual chrome exhaust . These features are worth the extra $$$ IMO .
op
No
Joe Bloe true. Reselling it is hard. My cousin had a touring before and because all the premium option he thought he could sell it for more. But in reality the car is only worth by the millage it has. If it’s anything older the 4 years the Premium package doesn’t mean anything when you want to sell it. IMO. At least that’s what I think it took him so long to sell it. Eventually he dropped the price.
Hi, I bought hands free power tail gate sensor, but doesn't work. I have 2017 EX-L model. I do this by myself.
I need the hands free power tail gate attachment kit or not for this model?
You can buy LED lights on Amazon and a better subwoofer for cheaper than 3k lmaooo you got bamboozled 😂
Excellent video and extremely informative. I'm actually thinking of purchasing the ex-l trim with optional hands free lift gate. Now that I know I can do that for only around $500. As opposed to spending almost 3k more for touring model🤔
I just bought the EXL . Very nice. Lots of security features.. Love it..
Just bought EX-L Nav white vs black interior, love it so far
sweet comparison Bern! 3,000 more for the EX-L, I think i'll go with the EX-L, that's exactly what I did with my Honda Passport, the EX-L had everything I wanted. I can't have all those extra sensors in the front and rear bumper, I'll eventually switch them out with offroad style bumpers and the sensors would cause problems.
Thanks man!! I love your Passport videos!! I’d love to meet you some day haha.
Bern on Cars if you’re ever in Cali, hit me up on IG. Aren’t you in Maryland? That’s almost 5 time zones Way isn’t it? Haha 🤣!
Thanks a lot. Your comparison was right on the money. So useful. Helped me tremendously in making a decision.
No problem! My pleasure!
My mom tested drive the touring she said she's getting it because it has more technology and it preety
Jonathan Chavis So what did you end up getting? :)
Yes. Tremendously helpful. I literally watched your video the day before I bought my car. And it all came down to the differences between these two models. It was exactly like you said and I felt confident going into my test drive and eventual purchase a few hours later. Thanks!
I just bought an EXL Navi in Dark Olive. It’s a great car. Looked at the Touring model, but the price tag just wasn’t worth it (to me) for the minor differences in the features.
Back in July 2017, I was about to buy the CR-V and narrowed it down to these 2 choices. It was your informative video that made my decision very easy for me and I was able to go into the dealership the next day with a very confident attitude of knowing exactly what I wanted. I bought the AWD Touring that day. 10 months later, I can truly say it is the best car I have ever owned (owned BMW, Lexus, Acura, Jeep Cherokee, Fords, Toyotas, Buicks, Accords, Mustang, Jetta, Subaru, VW in the past) by far. I think it is the PERFECT SUV and I have zero complaints although my list of things I'm impressed with is miles long. I wanted to thank you for having this video out that made my choice easy that day. By the way I'm on pace to put on 25,000 miles in one year, and have loved every minute of it.
Thank you!! Thrilled I could help!!
I am looking at the touring today, only drawback I see is that it has 98k miles but it is also 6 years old so that's a bit average.
Are you still loving it?
@@j.m.p8051 I am still loving this car. It has aged very well and still feels like a new car to me. It is my main car right now. 6 years old and I have 102,000 miles on it. No major issues and currently is still in perfect condition. The caveat is that I have been religious with every maintenance and am actually OCD as to getting every recommended maintenance at the exact right time. I am not sure what the record is for the one you are looking at (the 98k one), but if was cleanly maintained, I am confident it will be a great car until 200,00k and beyond.
Thank you! This made our decision between the two much easier!
Your welcome! Im glad it helped you.
Thank you.... I had a 2016 CRV 2016 CRV bought it earlier this year but just got into a car accident said it now searching for a replacement CRV and definitely want to upgrade to the touring I had A EX before Great video thank you!!
Happy to help!
my mom will definitley go for the Touring model! She loves the hands free lift gate!
Thank you, this is exactly the questions I needed answered. Now, I know what to buy. Appreciate the video.
Thanks very much, Bern, very interesting video. As a new CR-V owner in the UK I'm jealous of the spec you guys get! ...but thanks for explaining simply, and producing a good video, much appreciated ;-)
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😁
Excellent, professional, well-polished comparison. Best I've seen. Thanks!
Thank you!!
My mom had the EX-L it is pretty awesome I gotta admit
I have the cry ex-l w/ navi. Love it 😊. You did not mention the numerous safety features. The best is the cruise control, if you set your cruise on 70 mph and a car cuts in front of you the cry slows automatically to their speed. Love his feature, since we drive from NY to FL on I 95 a lot . Happy driving with the Honda crv
I didn't mention it because this wasn't really a review on them, just a comparison :)
I enjoy having this feature on my 2017 CRV. I did not know about it until I took an 8 hours road trip and used the cruise control.
Any issues with yours now? Looking at one today
You missed the upgraded sound system on the Touring. Consumer Reports says Touring has more sound proofing.
Nice video. Why do people want to sell their touring models so high? when clearly the value drops. Not the value of the car but they try to sell the premium pack that was dis valued as soon as you drive off the dealer.. that’s why I seem to always buy the lower models. At least I’ll get exactly what my car is worth and not what’s in it or on it like a chrome lip on the fog lights.
Thumbs up on a very professional review. A few points off for production skills. Background audio track often competes with your dialogue & the ending should have been recorded with a mic windscreen. Keep up the great reviews.
Thanks. I definitely agree about the mic at the end. It was the first time I used it away from me, I usually talk right into it.
Thanks for posting this! I've been trying to decide between these two models.
We just bought a CPO 2017 CRV. EX-L Alot of Car for the price. we're enjoying it thus far
Great video. Amazing video quality, direct to the comparison without all the extra “blah blah blah”. This is how it should be. Great job!, congrats.
I try my best! Thanks!!
Thank you so much for the comparison! Good to know the difference. 1 last question, what is the track name in the video at 5:28? That's a bad ass track! Love the 80's!
You did a great job. I'm currently driving a 2019 Insight EX and my wife drives a 2017 CR-V LX. We both enjoy our Honda's but my wishes she had gotten the CR-V EX or EX-L.
Thanks for the video! Bought the Touring
Thank you for this video! Helped us in deciding between EX-L and Touring.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video...I have been bouncing back and fourth on which one should I get...Im thinking the touring...But I know there is really not a big difference...
Alecia E am having the same problem too. So which one did you get Alecia
Great information and very well edited thank you for helping me pick which one to choose.
Glad you liked it!
Well I was expecting you to actually give an opinion on which you would think was the best overall worth.
I would Say the EXL is the best trim level and best overall cost effective trim too.
Not sure how the EX-L is better than the Touring considering the Touring has far more features and looks sharper. The only difference is the cost, but this may be inconsiderable depending on the dealership price.
The problem with both of these models is the turbo charged engine. There is an issue with these engines “adding oil” meaning that they are having gasoline getting into the oil. Honda doesn’t want to address it and doesn’t know how to fix it. We bought the lx model because it doesn’t have the turbocharged engine so no gas in the oil issue. It is still a great vehicle with plenty of power and comfort and you don’t have all of those trinkets to break down in the future.
I loved seeing this review; it is so timely and the only place I've found this information re the difference!
Thanks!!
Great job on the video. Seriously, very helpful.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just purchased an EX-L last weekend. Totally happy with it! :-)
Are you really? The Touring is so much more luxurious. Heated soft thick leather steering wheel ,so nice, Continous map display street info and speed map layout without using phone data, power everything,chrome accents and tips, 19wheels not common design, 330 watt premium stereo subwoofer. Plus it just looks like you're on a budget with the EX-L . I managed to get my touring awd only a grand more than the exl
@@BK_2016sr5 as a matter of fact, yes. I don't need all that extra stuff but, there were some "luxury" items I did want.............which you get with an EX-L. A touring seemed like a waste of money to me. But if you're happy, I'm happy. I had no desire to get a touring trim. Not worth it to me.
Yes, I love my EXL AWD. I do wish I had gotten the hands free rear tailgate, but other than that I love it. Mine is black, with a black leather interior. It looks really nice with the chrome accents and aftermarket rear window tint.
This video sends a lot of views to my channel. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the informative video. I'm going in to test drive crvs this weekend and was going nuts trying to figure out if it is worth the extra to go with the touring. Looks like it is.
Glad you enjoyed!
Hey Bernie how much is the Navi system to add to an EX-L. Is that just a software update or would something major need to happen to the dash board. I'm asking cause my wife just bought a used 2017 EX-L and I just realized it didn't have the Navi system included. Thanks
very detailed review.thanks for this
Very great review, keep it bro
Wow !! Really great video , nice car and great test !!
Thank you!
Thank you for such a thorough review 👍🏽
I just bought a 2018 LX and love it 😍
Glad you liked it!
How has it held up for you, MoNo? Any issues with the oil dilution? I've just purchased a 2017 EX
@@raza838 - Mines has been phenomenal. No issues whatsoever. Drives like a dream in reality.
@@MoNoK15 great to hear! It's a beautiful vehicle. A shame its image has been tarnished by this oil dilution problem. I love mine so far!!
@@raza838 - They are stella vehicles that will always be trailblazers. Nothing can stop the CR-V.
Thank you for the video well explained, great quality and very helpful.
My pleasure!
Im planning to buy a new 2018 crv. But im not quite sure which one should i go for. Is the EX worth the money or should i go for the exl? Thank you
If you don’t mind leather, definitely go for the EX
You're awesome at reviews bro, good job. Subscribing!!
Thanks!! Means a lot!!
Canadian Touring has panoramic moonroof.
Honda did not put the backup sensor on my 2019 touring and unfortunately I did not discover that until I bought it. My last 3 vehicles all had the “beep beep” when I backed up and it really bothers me that I don’t have it on the touring considering all the blind spots in this vehicle. This is a safety feature that is a must if you have children. Make sure if you are looking to buy the CRV Touring that it has a backup sensor. Just because you have the backup camera it does not mean you have the sensor! Shame on Honda for treating the backup sensor like an option instead of a safety feature.
Mello Lev The dealer can install a backup sensor with alarm if the Kits are still available!
Thanks for your video, it will help out greatly in my decision.
No problem! My pleasure!
Interesting. It appears my still less than 3000 miles on it black ext/tan interior EX-L that I bought and paid for last summer is actually an EX without the L Navigation package that I paid for. This video has been extremely helpful and explains an awful lot. Going to take a drive to the dealer today me thinks.
Wow, so you got the wrong car?? That’s terrible!
Maybe I’m misunderstanding your comment but leather is the L and Navi is still optional (add on) in EXL
after further review, the particular dealer which is NOT the one in this video, charged me for an EX-L with Navigation. What is out in my driveway is a standard EX-L without navigation. The navigation add on to the EX-L package was paid for in full. The vehicle in my driveway right now is worth over $2,000 less than the vehicle I actually paid for and never actually recieved. Found the window sticker. Honda proper has been notified.
That’s crazy. I hope Honda sorts this problem out for you.
Thank you. This upload of yours is actually how I finally figured out that no, it is not just me not being able to "find the navigation feature" in all the vehicles menu screens! Upload is greatly appreciated. The dealership this upload represents in quite good!
Thank you very helpful
thanks for the video. It should help with parallel parking
The main bummer with all these electronic gadgets is the cost to repair/replace if anything goes wrong post warranty 😱
Nice job and useful comparison....
Couple corrections :
EXL also has Rain sensing wipers..
Optional
Yes, my 2019 EXL AWD has rain sensing wipers as well.
The accord touring model gets LED fog lights, why would they go with halogen bulb on this touring? UGGG
great job awesome presentation
Great video and comparisons. However, I could barely hear your comments at the end. Thanks ! !
Thanks!! I agree on that. I'll definitely figure out the mic issues
They both have the 1.5 litre turbo. In other words don’t buy either one
Can you review colors of the touring and what interior leather color they come with?
I would love to work at Honda Or Toyota Once I turn 20!
Very helpful! Thanks for making
Glad you enjoyed!
Very well explained. Really appreciate it. However the background music was very annoying
Well put together video.
Thanks I needed this!
Glad I helped!!
cool car
the car looks like a shit
It is better than the cx-5
Burnsy no u look like a pile of shit
Storage space on the Touring. I bought a Hyundai Kona and I couldn’t get hardly anything in the back with just the 20 sf of space. How is the crv touring space in the back without letting the seats down???? Thanks
informative video and to the point. Good stuff
They really need to put the 2.0T in this.
Definitely!!
Thanks this was very helpful
Great video, my friend. I hope Honda shows some appreciation in the form of ad dollars. ;-)
Thanks!! I appreciate it!
Thank you, this was helpful!
Thank you!
You failed to mention that the Touring also has an adjustable height on the tailgate if the driver has a low ceiling garage.
The EX L also has this. He was just doing a comparison between the two.
Sorry, Bernie. They both have the 1.5L with turbo with oil dilution problems galore. If that wasn't bad enough, it also has a CVT tranny. I own a 2009 CRV which has been a great car but I would not go near the new CRV's. Honda destroyed a great design. My next car will be the Rav4.
How are the headlights at night???? Is the a major difference in the light pattern and output???? Is it worth getting the led??? Do you see any yellow coloring with the led????
The LED's are very easy to tell between the Halogens at night. I think they're worth it. You could just replace the Halogens on the EX-L for good LED's too.
ThatGearHead oh ok thanks
ThatGearhead how much would that cost to replace? Are you referring to the bulb?
1 significant difference : EX-L doesn't come with sub woofer, Touring comes with it
TheVasirev but unfortunately it adds very little to the already sub standard speaker systems. I am disgusted at the honda audio systems.
I’m so close to buying an exl but the audio system was severely underwhelming... and I’m an audiophile
nicely done thanks for taking the time. I agree with Mike M. The music background, which is so ubiquitous these days, is really distracting and lends no added value to your presentation.
Does Touring have side camera as well as exl ?
Nope just blindspot monitor!
I'm curious if the Touring has a power passenger seat, and if there are other differences such dual climate control and the sound system.
The Touring does have a power Pass. seat. Both models get Dual Zone Climate. The Touring also gets a subwoofer in the trunk.
I was surprised that the rear sensing (sound) was extra on the Touring. Thought it would be included. Is the roof spoiler available as an option on the Touring - or is it not in USA? I would like to make a list of accessories to find out if folks out there think worth it.
I was too, I don't think the spoiler is an option in the US, I haven't seen any
Honda screwed it up by only offered the 2.4 liter in the LX. Other model only available with a crap turbo engine. Honda corporate policy was to install the turbo to get more MPG for some of their gas cheap skate customers. So, I traded my 2014 CRV-LX AWD for a 2018 RDX AWD with V-6 engine, no CVT either. Unfortunately, they also screwed up the RDX by offering only turbo and CVT in 2019. My RDX with 279 HP only cost $4,000 more than a CRV Touring., and had many more luxury items as standard.
Which modelnhas the swivel headlights. I think it was the sport sensing model. But the top trim is theTouring so it should be wvailable on the touring, right? How much faster is the turbo in sport mode from 0-60? Most reviewers put the 0-60 time at about 7. 5. i am surevin sport mode it is much quicker--especially if you test the2017 model year or later since itnhas the grill shutters to make it super slippery. Can you make a video on how the traffic sign recognition works. I know the speed limit is displayed on the TFT screen, but is it wctive tech? Mewning will it slow you down if you arenexceeding the speed limit? Or warn you in some way. Thanks for your help. i also dont understandnhonda's real-time 4wd. Hownis it different from regular awd?
I do love my CR-V 2018 only I wondering to learn how I can used the control for open the back door , without used my hands to push up
Have you had the dilution issue. Smell your dipstick/oil...gas is getting into the engine mixing with the oil. How is your car holding up
Very good comparison
Thank you!
Does someone knows how much does it cost a Honda CR-V 2017 exl, now in 2021?
thanks for doing this, I wondered what the difference was, esp if the ex-l has NAVI AWD
No problem at all!
I just purchased the 2018 ex model, Navi isn't a issue because you can sync your phone to the screen and use Google maps, Also no 2 seat memory. Not much difference for less money
@@4Ranchise Not even sure why anyone would want to use their car navigation, it's crap compared to the Google Maps.
@@1983Jacko your definitely right, Im happy just syncing my phone to use Google maps. I had a Lexus rx350 and its navi literally drove me around Yankee Stadium 3 times, I used googoe maps and I was on my way
@@4Ranchise That's only if you have an Apple or Google phone. Besides that, the GPS programs on smartphones are generally not as good. I prefer the built-in navigation system.
I pray I will buy the touring
Good job pal!
Thank you!
Great comparison can you do the civic hatchback
What about the audio system ? Which is better the touring or exl ? Or are they the same ?
The Touring
what is the difference between the exhaust on them, it is just the tailpipes? cuz i want to get the touring sport rear bumper on my exl and do some work on the tail pipe to make it look like the touring. would you think it will work?
Hi, thanks for the review. Can I replace a damaged exl rear bumper with a Touring one? To give it that sporty look. Thanks
I believe you can, but the Dual Exhaust tips would have to be fitted as well
Excellent job!!!!!!!!
Thanks!!
Great job, thank you. I just test drove it and i t's better than a Macan. lol
Thanks! Oh wow lol
I traded up to EX-L much much more vehicle!
Great car but still can't get over that minivan gear shift and the design of the back end...
Both Are Best For Me
Great car! I like the tires, they are rubber
