Literally bought the car an hour ago. Its everything I ever wanted in a car and the driving experience has been amazing! Glad I bought it.
The Honda CRV has always been at the top of my list, but now you convinced me that the hybrid is the best choice. I dropped Toyota from consideration because dealers in the US are ripping off customers with outrageous dealer markups. The Mazda CX-5 is great except it is too small, and rear passangers may find it uncomfortable. The Subaru Forester is a great alternative and a serious contender, but fuel economy is not so good. The CRV hybrid is the winner.
I got honda cr-v hybrid sport touring is really nice.
Where’s the spare?!?!?!?!
There is no spare tire, just the air pump
Subaru is also having engine issues. I steered completely clear of them.
Toyota and Honda are both good cars because I have both, but Toyota is good when it comes to engine
I bought 2023 CRV Sport Touring and the car is unreal. I am saving over 140.00 a month in gas compare to my RDX that I had. I gave up some power for the CRV but it was well worth it. You won't be disappointed at atll.
What year RDX?
5000 miles on my 2023 hybrid sport. No complaints. Great handling.
Bought mine less than 2 weeks ago and I am in love with it from any point of view. Still running with the first gas load.
Honestly, I am impressed by Shari non-stop smooth review talking while driving the CR-V on the road. It does not seems like he is reading out of a script. And His review is straight to the point where consumer like us really like to find out, like Turbo vs Hybrid ... so Kudos to Shari.
right? i wasn’t the only one who noticed this. That is smooth
You nail all the videos. Very précis and to the point information.
Thank you for the review. I bought the Honda Crv Hybrid Touring Theee Months ago and drove 26000 km. I love it , nice drive, spacious, and looks 2:25 inside and out.
A very comprehensive review. Excellent summary too. Looks like the CRV Hybrid is the one to go for
We purchased the CR-V Hybrid Sport Touring. The only other serious contender was the RAV4 Plug-In, but in the end, the cost difference did not warrant that choice. We are thrilled with the CR-V. Value, reliability and safety were our major reasons for the choice. The fit and finish is superb! The drivetrain simplicity and reliability gave me complete confidence. (This is our first hybrid vehicle.) There is ample technology, and all the right bells and whistles to satisfy my need for "state of the art-ness". Creature comforts, load capacity and people capacity are excellent. There is certainly no "weird" hybrid feel to the driving experience at all. We are still on the first tank of gas, and are getting just under 40 mpg. Areas to improve on.... the Horn! LOL! Sounds like someone stepped on a mouse. I went online, and purchased the second horn and wiring harness, and problem solved. Also bought the Official Honda HomeLink Auto Dimming mirror, so our garage door opener is once again "built-in". (This should have been standard on this trim level, frankly.) Even though I have always been impressed with Honda's reliability, I purchased the Honda Care Extended Warranty for 7 years/100K miles. We plan on keeping this vehicle for a LONG time.
It's missing a 360 degree camera which is very important these days. for some reason when my wife drives her 2023 model uphill, she gets the engine screaming.
This is the pre-recall engine. After the recall fix, we'll probably trade it in for a 2024
Could you share where you got your horn and wiring harness from?? I’ve been trying to find the right fit for mine!
No spare tyre even on higher trims is a bummer. No ventilated seats, 360 camera, and slightly less mpg compared to rav4. Also RAV4 reliability and resale value are slightly higher. I heard the braking system and the overall quality of the hybrid system are better in RAV4 than CRV. More than anything it's pricey than rav4. But it's still a great car undoubtedly, especially the interior space and quality are top notch. Seats are very comfortable and that itself is a major reason for many people to buy it and of course it drives very smooth.
I love mine as well. But no spare is definitely a bummer. And it does whine going up hills. Great vehicle though.
Just bought the 2024 CRV Sport L Hybrid last week! My 4th Honda and love it.
I love my new CRV highbred I got the one with the leather package. It's absolutely gorgeous it drives phenomenal best purchase ever.❤
Well waiting on the comparison video.. my purchase is on hold for the same!
Glad you mentioned the 1.5turbo reliability issues.
You provided chalkful of information to consider before purchasing these two cars. I will go with the hybrid model. Thanks
Thanks for a balanced and fair review.
Let's see... bought our CRV "Sport-L" Hybrid 6 months ago but didn't catch this video until today... so relieved to hear we chose well! 🙂 Kidding aside, IMHO this is a fair and thorough review. My only, and very minor, critique is that the reporter didn't say much about Honda's decision to NOT play what I call "The Package Game" (e.g if you want heated seats, you must buy the "XYZ" package that includes a bunch of stuff you DON'T want). One of the things that turned us off of the Rav-4 was The Package Game. That, and the CRV Hybrid has more cubic feet of cargo space. To be fair, we've had GREAT luck with Toyotas - our beloved 2005 Highlander is still on the road (our son's GF is now the owner). But in the end, we agree with the reviewer that (a) the CRV Hybrid is on the pricey side, but also (b) it's an EXCELLENT vehicle. It's our first hybrid and I'm impressed by... just about everything. Cheers.
Thank you for the another good video. Recently, I am looking for a midsize hybrid suv, and 3 members in my family are over 6 feet with long torso. I liked Honda since they make suv with more headroom, but realized most of the car in dealerships are with moonroof which eats up 1-3 inches of headroom. Would you create a video to reliable midsize/compact suv recommendation for tall people?
Thank you for your fantastic review. I was confused about the benefits of a hybrid, but you explained everything in great detail. 👍
I just wish Honda would offer a light tan interior on the CRV, I am so sick of black.
Cheers, from Ontario 🇨🇦
I always want the caramel color too!!!! black is so boring haha
I bought a 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid two days ago. Its taken a long time to get used too, but so far I'm learning something new every day.
Just purchased a 2024 CR-V sport touring hybrid. I love this car. Learning the hybrid system still and getting the best fuel economy
Well done video. Informative and no discernible b.s. I am considering buying one.
I bought the 2024 CRV Touring hybrid. The saving on gas is definitely the big difference for me. Switching from the 2022 Odyssey, I'm still getting used to the smaller storage spaces I had before.
How $$ for touring ?? If u dont mind me asking .. trying to get 1 tomrw 12/31 (45k)
put my down payment on one last week. Its being built this week. Bought it using Consumer Reports car buying. Found a dealer that had NO Market Adjustments or dealer add ons.
If it is in NY let me know too
I was going to buy a Rav4 for quite some time. Here in Ontario, even used one is scarce and almost the price of a new one. I was goingbto have to wait 4-6 months to get a new Rav4 XLE built just down highway. The Honda dealer had CRV s on the lot and i took one for a drive..so impressed with the handling finishand roominess. I bought a 1.5l sport comes with features like remote start that cost extra grand on a Rav. The 2024 does come with a spare tire.
We just got our 2024 CR-V Hybrid Touring. It is simply the best car we've owned (so far). One thing the review didn't mention was the acceleration which is MUCH better than the non-hybrid (which we owned previously). The handling and smooth ride is impressive--more noticeable than on our previous CR-V. One complaint is we live in the mountains of Southern Utah. Driving long distances uphill on the highway makes the engine get really noisy. One sound that is interesting thing is when the car is shifted into reverse. I actually took it back to the dealership to make sure there wasn't something wrong, and that's when I was told this is to make the car noticeable when backing up. The dealership said it was "the voice of angels." I've had people stop and look when they hear it because it's such an unusual sound. But that term really describes it. Great car!
Are you worried about having no spare? I live in the mountains, very rural and often don't have cell service and help is hours away so that is the main reason I'll probably be getting the Rav4 hybrid instead.
It’s the sound that hybrids make. Sound of angles
The CRV Touring is on the top of my list, but I still would like to see a spare tire included.
do you think the engine is having a hard time driving uphill? did you notice its underperforming in such condition?
I bought a sport touring a few days ago. I'm pleased with the purchase.
Thanks to you I’m getting a CRV Hybrid!
I too believe Honda is worth their prices. Toyota’s always usually cheaper due to their base models, once you add the needed features, their price will be at or above Hondas. Where as Hondas, you don’t have to add on much features.
I bought the 2024 sport touring and love it
I love your in depth reviews and content they are very well laid out. If I had to give one critique though it would be it sounds like you’re a monotone robot reading from a script when you talk. Maybe try to sound more catching !
I’ve alway been happy owning Hondas. I’m just having a hard time dealing with the fact that there’s no spare tire. I guess I could just buy a spare and keep it in the back, but then I’ll be sacrificing some cargo space.
all the cargo space!
Purchased mine a month ago 2024 crv sport hybrid and love it!!! Great handling, smooth ride, spacious,get so many compliments !! Traded my 2022 sport 2.0 and so glad I did! #team Honda ❤❤
I’ve had a 2024 hybrid CR-V sport touring since January and I love it with a couple of exceptions. One is never mentioned which is the windshield washer system. The washer solution is located in the wipers themselves and doesn’t spray enough solution at a time. I’m close to the ocean and have salt spray on my windshield every morning so use the washers daily. It leaves streaks and puddles on the driver side of the windshield that dry in big spots. I use twice as much solution than with my 2020 CR-V. In addition, I can’t imagine how expensive replacement wipers will be. The second issue is the inability to turn completely off the lane change assist and the cruise control braking system. I know what I’m doing and I don’t need my car telling me when to brake or when I’ve deliberately moved slightly across the painted lane lines! Having said that, I LOVE everything else about this car.
I just ordered Hybrid AWD in "Advance" trim level in Slovakia, Europe. A Made this Honda decision after waiting 1 and half year for RAV4. CR-V should be at home before x-mas
I bought 2023 exl gas it was nice upgrade with base hybrid got better deal and features
I JUST bought mine today & I LOOOOVEEE my Urban Gray Crv Hybrid😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Love honda. I think its a reliable car. This is my 2nd honda. Just bought my honda crv awd sport hybrid. Love the look, easy to handle, smooth ride, spacious, like the speed when you accelerate smooth and quiet but there's no spare tire. For the price I paid it should have an automatic trunk.
Oh my goodness!! I just got mine home couple days ago and about fell over to learn no auto tailgate! If they would let me return... I would!
I’m from Canada, we are looking at the new crv hybrid but are balking at $50,000 price tag. For the same money we could buy a used 2020 Toyota highlander hybrid. Get similar fuel efficiency within the city but a towing capacity of 3500 lbs. Would you consider doing a show comparing these options?
Just bought 2024 honda crv hybrid touring. Great car, so luxurious interior design while aggressive outside. I dont mind those minor cons. For me its perfect suv hybrid. 😅
YES on the panoramic sunroof!
I loveeeeee my new CRV, just got it last week. 2024 CRV EXL hybrid, was kind of disappointed that for the price I paid they didn't include pano sunroof, or ventilated seats :(
I just bought the 24 cr-v hybrid I love it
I live in Southern California. I recently went test drive and shopping for 2024 CRV sport hybrid in platinum pearl white. They don't have it in stock much. Basically MSRP price $35,480. Should I wait until Summer ( more supply, better deal ) or pull the trigger at the end of this month ? Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks.
I am planning to get the ex CRV hybrid. Can you tell me the different between ex and the touring please. I found out it is quite expensive for the touring hybrid, it is around CAD $60,000. 😮
Can someone please speak about the headlights? I am looking for best SUV hybrids with the best possible.
Just got 2024 CRV S HYBRID. HAD 3 Pilots loved everything about them. I am having a real problem setting up my new CRV
Maybe just not used to the set up of gauge information. Could be my dealer had so many customers when I picked vehicle up nobody had time to give me more instructions
Thank you. Yes, I would.
We purchased rav4 hybrid last month but I feel engine noise is significantly high.Do you have any idea y is this so .Is it obvious in all the RAV4 vehicles.
Do you think Lexus NX350h is better option than CRV- hybrid. The price difference is 3-4 K CAD more. But you get a panoramic sunroof and better speed and luxury of course. Lease payments for both are almost the same as well in Canada
We loved the Rav4 and the CRV but opted to go for the CRV because the driver headroom on the Rav4 was ridiculously low. Seems a stupid reason, but I could barely make out the overhead buttons while sitting in it as they were at eye height or lower. Weird.
The RAV4 really is built for nine year old children. I'm 6'6" and 275 pounds. I fit in the front and the back of the CR-V no problem. The RAV4? It's like a bad joke. On the other hand, I can't wait to test drive the new 2024 Tacoma and see how much they improved the seating in that thing.
Ahh, this is my favorite comparo that you do!!! I'm all about resale.
This is an area where consumers are now learning is as important AT PUCHASE TIME as it is at trading time. For example, l'm looking at either a Corolla Hybrid, Prius Std. Hybrid, or the HR-V Hybrid. All meet my criteria of needs and usual concerns. As l approach the next sales cycle in October, I'll be tracking the projected residual prices. So, l'll tell them l'm considering leasing. Immediately, they can give me the residual values. (Easy!)
Thanks for mentioning the little discussed Power Cable issue on the Rav Hybrid. That's a deal killer for me.
*This is the most helpful and HONEST automotive poster on the Internet. And l was in Car Sales Mgmt. (I despise the Auto Sales Industry) and can smell bought off CZcamsrs from a mile away.
You're the REAL DEAL!
Keep it up.👍
Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
My dad got a 2024 exl hybrid after his 2023 sport got hit, and we did go through car help Canada and to number 7 Honda. And so far it’s great, if ur thinking of going for the hybrid go for it, since the turbo wastes gas like in 10 Days depends on how much you drive
I'm a Honda fan & till date, I'm still driving my Honda vezel. But lately, I'm at a loss not knowing which one to buy as my future car between the Toyota RAV4 hybrid or the Honda CRV hybrid. I've done my homework & come the the conclusion that even the new Honda CRV Hrbrid can't beat the Rav 4 in terms of fuel efficiency.. I've never liked the looks of that Rav 4, but I think that I must go for it as it's boot cargo space is better than the CRV & many other options that the CRV doesn't offer. I'm not at all a Rav 4 fan but nowadays, it's just a matter of saving in the best possible way.
Average MPG for hybrid is 40, for non hybrid is 30. A price of gallon of gas is around 3.50 now. For hybrid it is 0.0875 $ per mile and for non hybrid it is 0.1167 $ per mile. The difference is 0.0292 $ per mile. Hybrid is about $2K more expensive than non-hybrid. To break even you have to drive 2,000/0.0292 = 68,493 miles. Is additional complexity of hybrid worth it? Saving money is not the same as saving fuel.
I did the math also but one large reason I got the hybrid was for quieter ride.. big time none really bugs me...
Don't hybrids also have better resale? That would need to be factored in your equation if so.
@@extremeAdvilinsurance for hybrid are more expensive, maintenance also expensive too. In long run, hybrid is not worth it.
@@blueSky-ky3xyno not really
@blueSky-ky3xy false, the hybrid doesn't have the 1.5 turbo and it's not nearly as good as the engine as the one in the hybrid.
Just bought the hybrid sport in silver. Love the ride and its super sexy. Quiet, comfortable, and efficient. The amenities inlcuding blind spot awareness and the backupcam work great. I also love how spacious the back is and the cargo room is. I average 42.5 mpg...I live in the sunshine state and commute about 1.5 hours a day with lots of stops and starts. If you are looking for a safe and smooth driving experience in the "affordable" SUV market look no further.
Hello, I have a 2018 CRV and am thinking about the CRV Hybrid. Im not sure but I think your company was known as Car Help Canada and now It's Car Help Corner/? Can you assist in the purchase of a new vehicle? Thanks
I bought a 2023 CRV Hybrid Sport last December it's not even a whole year and its already making noises from under the vehicle. Quality is becoming questionable.
I love my 2024 Honda hybrid EX L
I’m currently driving a 2017 Kia Sportage. After my car was stolen I’ve been in the market for a compact SUV. I’m leaning towards a CR-V Hybrid.
I see there are complaints about the side view mirror vibrating and giving a blurry image.
I am definitely going to purchase a Honda CRV Hybrid.
I am confused whether i should go between crv hybrid 2024 or sportage hybrid 2024
Can anyone confirm if hybrids are more on insurance than a non hybrid ?
Thank You Good review love it(ty Ron Kapuskasing )
The lack of a turbo on the hybrid is a huge selling point for me
toyota has it thats why i dont buy honda's
@@aichan5235 a turbo adds tons of points of failure that don't need to exist. Toyota does have a more reliable reputation though; but in general turbos are much less reliable than naturally aspirated engines in the long term.
@@Grantly420 and most turbos need premium unleaded gasoline!
Is a hybrid good for highway driving?
23 Rav 4 Hybrid Ltd in Canada. 52000 including all taxes and fees..Thats under 40g USD. Sitting in one as I type.
I totally agree with the comment that the hybrid versions of the 2024 CRV is a much better choice than the normal versions mainly due to the not-quite-resolved issue with the oil dilution on the 1.5 litre turbo engine. We have a 2018 Honda Civic with this 1.5 litre turbo engine and we can smell gasline whenever we pull the dip stick out. Both Honda and dealers have claimed that this issue has been resolved but I am not buying. This is the same old 1.5 litre engine with a bit of software 'updates' which may be alright in certain climates and driving condition.
I wonder about the heater issues that people had. Recent post by an owner in the crv forum said that the 1.5 takes a while to warm up.
I really try to find plug-in hybrid SUV for my next car. I think makes most sense as I drive short distances mostly and electric cars are bit too much in bigger sizes still.
Plus you should be able to get the $7500 IRA discount. if you cant get the IRA financially its not worth additional 8 to 10K. Do the math!
@@MyUtubeScott I am not in US . We have CO2 based car tax.
The Honda CRV needs a plug-in hybrid option so they can be more competitive with the Toyota Rav4 Prime.
@@jaimieconroy36 Europe also gets Enyaq with 60mile range. Next gen system from Kia and Hyundai is rumored to be similar. CR-V has plugin coming to Europe but only FWD
I have the same blue 2024 hybrid
The problem with the CRV is that it has direct injection only, so carbon build-up may be an issue in the long run, compared to Toyota's direct and port injection.
You are correct. The Honda Earthdreams engine is direct fuel injection and could lead to carbon buildup, but regular maintenace and high quality fuel should prevent carbon buildup.
@@jaimieconroy36 high quality few means you are not saving feel you are purchasing premium feel, so why even bother purchasing hybrid?
@@jaimieconroy36 or just do like toyota, kia and others did and ditch direct injection.
@@IVvOOvVI Top tier, not premium
I bought a 2023 hybrid touring in June and love the handling and driveline. Unfortunately the front seats are too narrow for me and induce hip pain on trips longer than a test drive (36" waist). The driver's power seat adjustments are oddly hinged and the seat base is too short, making it very difficult to achieve a compromise between back support and thigh support (I'm 5' 11 in my socks).
The adjustable lumber support feels like a soda bottle. These seats make a great first impression but ultimately feel like they were made for small people. Definitely inferior to the seats in my 2015 Fit LX. Profoundly disappointing.
What do you weigh?
How do you not throw in a spare tire kit at that price? RAV4 has one.
I have a 2023 Honda Hybrid CRV and only get 33.8 miles to the gallon. It’s about six months old. Why such poor gas mileage for a hybrid?
It’s an excellent choice, except for one major issue. Here in Canada whenever we’re outside of major centres we can encounter weak or nonexistent cell service. Shouldn’t be an issue except for this problem; if you have an unrepairable flat, what are you supposed to do because you do not have a spare!
Love Hondas, have had many of their four and two wheeled vehicles but this is a trend I have difficulty accepting. I’ve found some alternatives solutions out there but they all require you to cobble up some kind of system to hold the spare so it doesn’t fly through the vehicle in an accident and take you out. Why should we have to do that Honda (and others including Tesla)?
Tyre repair kit...very simple to use in an emergency.
Is this the same as the CR-V Sport Hybrid?
My only issue is no spare tire. On long road trips, that concerns me.
You can buy spare tire in honda dealer for 350 $ I just went to dealer and ask him
So the car that's overpriced $10,000 is available sitting on a lot?? Lol so........
Being serious. Enjoy your revirws. I took your input seriously . Our Rav4 arrived in Oregon this week. (US) so im a few weeks from arrival. I didnt have negative views on the crv. It was probably my alternative. In the end i went for the mpg with the Rav4 hybrid and my availability was 2 months.
front exhaust?
I love mine
I don’t think oil dilution is a problem at all anymore. That was corrected.
Other than that I bought a 23 crv sport hybrid and it’s absolutely the best of the best on the road.
I am one of those who make and drive Toyota for the last 15 years but and I wanted to buy this new RAV 4, but when I was driving in the honda crv hybrid quite by accident, there is much more space in it than in the rav by four, and I decided to buy a new onecrv
Definitely!
I wish the infotainment panel was more integrated as opposed to popping up so high
I Agree
Integrated units aren't in the line-of-sight, so you're taking your eyes off the road anytime you're interracting with it. Up high like this is vastly superior for functionality.
I bought it 6months ago already have 32,000 miles on it.
I own this exact same car Sport Touring AWD Hybrid in Canyon River Blue. It's awesome. Just buy it. He doesn't mention that the Sport Touring comes with 19 inch gloss black rims instead of the 18 inch on the EX-L up to the Sport-L.
Great, how do u find the canyon blue color in terms of keeping it clean, is it easy to get dirty ?
@mohammedmelegy3923 we've had it for 3 weeks. It needs a washing. Trying to find a good carwash has been trying. It still looks good, a little dirty, though.
I am debating between 24 CRV Sport L hybrid and 23 Sportage EX trim. Sportage fits the budget with all the tech features whereas Honda is reliable! Any suggestions?
I would pick Honda any day. Reliability!!
@@Blackhawk556. Ended up buying CX-5 PP lol
Good overall video, however, you forgot to mention that the hybrid battery has a limited life expectancy of 6-10 years with a replacement cost of $2000-$8000 dollars according to Honda. Something to consider if your going to keep car for a while.
How much for rav4 hybrid ?
Honda gives you an 8 year 100,000 warranty on the battery and hybrid system
But I’m reading this is the issue with hybrids and electrics.. that’s actually cheap compared to a full electric battery! I hope they really get recycling and production of these batteries down to the point where it’s not a hang up.
I don’t know how they classify the CR-V as a compact SUV when it’s really spacious and has a large boot space lol. It’s just a great overall hybrid, but dealership markups ruin the appeal!
5:35 i would want to be able to shut that off .
Kinda defeats the purpose of a cvt
Is the 2024 hybrid going to have a donut spare tire or will I still be stuck with a can of sealant still?
Hybrid yep : ( but I am still getting one 😂
Does the Honda hybrid have folding side mirrors? One thing I wish Toyota had on my Limited. My one gripe with Honda is when we took daughters CRV in to fix her door lock motor which was making an awful groaning sound, they refused to work on it without putting it on scanner, jacking up repair bill. We took it to another mechanic. Maybe it was just our local dealership but it put me off Honda.
Yes
Manually follding side mirrors.
No they don't, Honda CRVs do NOT have power folding mirrors....
It's called diagnostics...just because you "think" something is the issue, doesn't mean it is the issue. As a mechanic, they've done their job properly, and you're having an unreasonable whinge imo.
Trying to buy CRV touring today ?Can u give me TIPS on how to lower the price ?? mSRP ( Cali) $44k 😢
Sounds a few thousand too high. I have a few buying tips videos that might help. Try this one czcams.com/video/d7zqVzPnxK4/video.htmlsi=ZhZu3190gPIXjXv0
I am a retired senior. Currently driving 2014 Toyota Camry SE. Very happy with overall performance. Now I am looking for 2024 Camry SE hybrid until I saw the 2024 CRV hybrid in LA auto show. I like both. My friend suggested CRV will be good for me in and out from the vehicle. Camry has great mileage. Now I am torn ? Does anyone has a suggestion for me which vehicle suit me well ?
Thanks.
CRV
Thanks. @@bella3008
CRV HYBRID ✅
Mechanical simplicity? is better in a hybrid ? Motor -batteries - extra drivetrain front and rear - opening you up to a world of additional mechanical issues, not to mention if you’re actually going to KEEP the vehicle - the hybrid batteries lose about 50% power in 7yrs , replacing the battery pack is a huge expense. Resale on the hybrid will take a beating.
Additionally the CVT transmission is a cheaper and weaker unit as compared to the traditional 8 speed transmission in the Toyota FWD - a vehicle (with care) should last 200,000 - 300,000 miles.
For those with short attention spans, it does not have an "extra drivetrain front and rear" that "open[s] you up to a world of additional mechanical issues." It has a integrated drivetrain that adds two motor generators and a special-purpose clutch. But uses them to eliminate the turbo, the alternator, the starter motor, the drive belt, the torque converter, and - here's the best part, in the Honda only - the *_entire_* transmission.
So yes, the CR-V is probably simpler, mechanically, than any other SUV on the road. And batteries are much better today than the ones you misrepresent from the early 2000's.
And they have strong reliability and resale figures. Taking the 2018 Accord and Camry as an example, KBB rates the resale value of both hybrids between 75% and 80% of original MSRP. For a five-year-old car. Their reliability for the Accord is 4.5 out of 5 for the Accord, and 4.1 out of 5 for the Camry.
Yesterday I bought new CRV hybrid it’s amazing
Grumpy, still like it?
@@gosman949yes I like it 👍
I don’t consider CRV asking way too much in Canada 🇨🇦
Much cheaper than Toyota
As i check online, quite a number of reviewers favour Toyota Venza but what if i tell you that in countries like Thailand and soon in Malaysia, Toyota Venza (known as Harrier in these markets) come without Hybrid power train and with only 2.0 L naturally aspirated engine and roughly 25% more expensive than Honda CRV Hybrid. What would be your pick then?
Venza
What do u suggest rav4 hybrid or crv hybrid?
Both are excellent
This channel is great, but I really wish you would focus on other brands like Chevy gm and Ford in the smaller models. It seems to be a focus on Toyotas and Nissans and Hondas.
