Honda CRV Dilemma: V-Spec or Hybrid? You Choose!

- The new Honda CRV is the best there has ever been. It is bigger than ever, quite good looking, and it has interior features that some will struggle to match. It is also incredibly nice to drive as we found out during a recent drive to Penang where we drove both the hybrid (e:HEV in Honda lingo) and the top of the line variant of the regular non-hybrid variants. So which should you spend your money on if you are interested in a CRV? That is what we try to answer in this video.

Booked on January, test drive the RS version on February. Picking up the car today! Cant wait. The Red RS CRV ❤
Congratulations
I think for me the major concern is the battery reliability of the RS. I understand that there is 8 years of warranty from Honda, but what does the warranty covers? Is it really reliable?
How bout the battery performance in ehev? The warranty?
One is 2WD and the other AWD. Would love to hear your views on their driving dynamic like stability and cornering etc. Thanks
The AWD is obviously going to offer more grip in all conditions. But it is also heavier. So the RS is obviously more efficient. But in terms of handling, the AWD is better suited for all conditions.
@@PistonMalaysia Yes and I was torn between choosing the turbo's 2WD and AWD. The AWD's 0-100kph is listed as 10.4 sec. The 2WD's 9.8 sec is a closer to the Hybrid's 9 sec. I am still wondering, if I stay on sealed roads, does the AWD makes any difference in cornerning?
@@hhkong2339- You will only feel the difference if you are really going for it in the corners. But the safety it provides in slippery conditions such as the torrential Malaysian rains is undeniable.
Could you do a review Volvo S90…t8..im really looking forward to your input before buying it..thank you.
Hoping HM will include ventilated seats in the facelift.
Agreed 100% .. That would be nice.
This might help. My new CRV's air cond can go down to 3C, a very pleasant surprise. What I miss is the BSM and 360camera on the S and E spec.
@@hhkong2339 ... Wow 3C? That's amazing.
Can’t drive both cars. HM is only offering the RS for test drives ☹️
Oh okay ... Some dealers might have pre-registered units ...
Have the 2WD turbo and briefly test driven the 2WD Hybrid. On highway above legal limit, the turbo seems to have better pulling power. Other than that, the Hybrid is better.
@@hhkong2339- The hybrid does feel like a better all-rounder.
If i understood you correctly, in a nutshell the 2.0L engine powers the battery, which in return provides the juice to the electric motor to propel the car?
In a nutshell, yes.
How does the CRV EHEV NVH and comfort compare to Mazda CX5 2.5 FWD?
Having just driven the new CX-5 2.5 FWD, I would say the e:HEV has better NVH levels.
@@PistonMalaysia thank you, would you say in terms of comfort for a day drive, are compareable for both?
@@beckhamnov- If it is for you alone then yes, absolutely, though the CRV has been NVH levels. But if you have a family or carry people frequently, the CRV would be better since it bigger and comfortable.
@@PistonMalaysia How about the tire noise between the V spec Toyo and CX5?
@@PistonMalaysia thank you guys, booked both of them, shall make a decision soon
Jaecoo J7 and J8
Looks good and attractive
The writer haven’t said about spare tyre for the RS model. The RS no spare tyre compare to V spec. In malaysia anything can happen to your tyres. If tyres burst it cannot be repaired by repair tyre kit.
Yes, if it bursts a full sizes tyre is better.
paddle shift with cvt gearbox is joke man...😂
It doesnt help acceleration?
@@amazaine what u expect from cvt? cvt is like pully...
avoid h brand at any cost; spend on other brands
Care to share why?
Which brand of car are you selling?
@@PistonMalaysia owned a civic fc last batch before fe is released; have steering rack issue; and dashboard keep rattling, fe also has steering rack issue; from here we can see honda malaysia doesn't fixed the issue and meep deploying the same parts across new models..we consumer must not blindly buy just for the brand; i have tested cbu japan honda unit which are far superior in terms of fit and finishes hence, please avoid ckd honda malaysia and save your bucks for quality not for resale value
@@SilviInsania-bz9jh i am a consumer not a sales person
@@krk24 - Thank you for sharing.
Hmm booked rs before chinese new year😅 now waiting period is 4 months?
They are selling like hot cakes!
