Pretty spot on. I want to love this car but can’t really come to terms that it’s missing a lot of features other cars in its class has. Reflector headlights, half digital dash, battery taking up half the spare wheel well, no spare just all seem like Honda just cutting corners. Yes these are small items but it’s hard to ignore when you’re paying almost 40 grand
No panoramic roof… like that’s a bad thing. Panoramic roofs are prone to leaking, make extra noise, reduce headroom, and transmit a bunch of heat. I avoid any car with a large glass roof which gets opened 3x a year.
Yeah and it's way worse if you're living in a very hot country
I had not thought of these possible issues. I did buy a CR-V but I really (thought) I wanted a panoramic roof. This makes me feel a bit better about the CR-V which I have really enjoyed otherwise.
And they are awful in snowy and icy weather. They creak all the damn time and drive you nuts….
Absolutely shocking statement
I've never heard this perspective before
I think I'm going with the crv over rav bc the interior is so much more roomier. I'm tall and my head was touching the roof in the rav4
Yes.. I have noticed that too.. Toyota/Lexus just don't get it.. Seems like Toyota/Lex makes all their vehicles with rooflines that are way too low, and this causes a cramped interior with bad outward visibility..
how tall you are my friend?
@@nilaypatel3069 I am about 6' 3"..
And i am short, so i can do cartwheels 🤸 all over the cr-v. 😂 smart choice my friend
I got it bc it looks slightly better in the interior and exterior to me..plus it definitely has more room
I need help with Road noise on passenger seats.
Mazda CX5 Turbo Signature vs Honda Sports L Hybrid AWD?
Which had better sound deadening?
I’m a new owner of the 2024 CRV Sport Touring. It was between the RAV Limited or the CRV sport touring. The RAV was about $4k more. I’m happy with the CRV as a first time Honda owner. What’s disappointing is no spare tire. Having never owning a hybrid model and a crossover of this size I’m crossing my fingers I don’t get a flat tie while on the road. 😊 Another disappointment is their TPMS system. I like to be able to see in the instrumental panel the PSIs reading but it doesn’t have this option. Their TPMS system will inform you if your tires are too low.
I’m still acclimating myself my with my new car and really enjoy driving it.
My previous car was (is still) is a 2017 Ford Explorer Sport which we decided to keep being that it’s been a good SUV.
I have a Sport L. It’s a solid car that I like, but don’t love. I feel like Honda cuts corners, and leaves out features, while charging you more, because of the Honda name. Things I dislike about this model include the loud engine, the unfriendly seats (padded ironing boards without enough adjustments), and interior rattles going over uneven pavement. Although the ride is pretty good, with all their talk of insulation, it’s still too much road noise and road feel. Having said that, I am getting 38+ in the city, I like the steering, breaking and cornering. Wireless Android Auto has been flawless and the charger has worked perfectly for me. All in all, the car is mixed bag, not the slam dunk I had hoped for.
We’ve had both a 2018 and 2021 Touring CRV, non hybrid. The audio system is horrible and the cabin noise during acceleration was really bad. It definitely has a lot of positives but when you pay top price it should and could be better
We have a 2024 CR-V Hybrid AWD with over 6500 miles on it and live in the Country. The closest town is 10 miles away, so I figure, 80 percent of my driving is over the speed of 55 mph and get an average of 33 to 35 actual mpg. That is better than our previously owned 2021 CR-V AWD that averaged 31.
That sounds close to what I’m getting. I ran one tank of gas in Eco mode and in a mostly suburban environment got 39.2 MPG! I’m trying for one tank at 40…
One of the things that killed it for me is no spare tire. Toyota found the room to have a spare. I ended up with the Rav 4 Hybrid and I love it😊
Agreed. Overlooked and extremely important
You don't mention that the CR-V (which I was favoring over the RAV 4) DOES NOT HAVE A SPARE!!! note the hybrid has no spare because they use that space for the battery !!
they could fit a spare
@TheNickoneal70 It can NOT fit a spare in that spare area, a battery sits in there and to even open that space is to break the floor opening. People are buying aftermarket spare tire and placing it in the boot impeding trunk space which SUCKS
Yep. I didn’t realize this until after purchase. Shame on me. That, combined with the lousy MPG, I really regret my purchase.
@@bjlassiter i just bought a brand new loaded crosstrek limited for $31k out the door. not quite as spacious as rav4 or crv but way cheaper especially compared to crv and the ride and build quality is far superior than rav4
. How's the mpg? I love subaru as well
To answer the first question, because a plug in is as bad as a full ev car. Why wait around for something to charge when you could just go normal hybrid? And all the so called cons that competitors have like cooled seats or 360 view does nothing to make the car less likable. It is more spacious than the head hitting rav4 and a smoother ride.
I have to agree with u. The crv hybrid is smooth driving suv. Thinking about getting one but I'm curious if this engine will have carbonization issues!
@@vwrxlasvegas I was test driving cars for a few months, and i did not like anything but the CRV. Not even an Accord, which I usually love more than any other. I can’t say anything about carbonization issues, I haven’t had any problems, but if you know what the “smile-factor” is, the CRV did it for me, and that hasn’t happened since the 2015 Accord Sport. Happy car shopping!
OK.... I own the '23 Sport Touring Hybrid. This would be my 3rd CR-V. Honda makes a great vehicle in theory, and that's why I've owned so many. However, there are always things Honda conveniently leaves out, that twist up the loyal Honda customers. No Homelink garage door opener ($350, took 4 months to get the new mirror that has it). No cargo cover. (They were included with all my other CR-V's. I don't know where yours came from!) The dealership swears that the seats are leather. The screen is less than most other competitors, and firmware updates are all but non existent. The charging pad for the phone is wonky, at best. Wireless CarPlay has glitchy software that at times, needs a restart. It's good to have the onboard GPS (actually uses satellites), because the mobile phone people are not always that reliable, and towers are sometimes sparse. This thing has paddle shifters!! What the hell do I need with paddle shifters??!! (and, I did confirm that they are paddle shifters, and not some way to just invoke the charging system. The braking does that) This is a hybrid, not a Ferrari! And finally, there is NO SPARE TIRE!! I didn't find this out until I I watched another CZcams video that concerned this. I have achieved 42.5 MPG during the summer, playing with it. In the colder weather, you will get more like 34-36 MPG. Thanks for the video! Well done!
I'm still waiting to see if Honda/Acura announces an rdx type s. If so, I would gladly purchase both my
Probably unlikely, at least not in this generation. I was reading somewhere that the RDX chassis was only designed to fit a four-cylinder. Which means they could potentially re-tune the current 2.0 to Type R levels , but then would an extra 30 hp be worthy of a type S badge.
Love my 2024 CRV Hybrid Sport Touring AWD but I get pissed every time I look on the dash to see my MPG avg. 40 city/34Hwy? No way, not even close. My drive to work is 11 minutes city driving. Bought the car in December - with the heater on high I avg 27 mpg, NOT 40. With the heater off, freezing to death, I get 31 mpg. I did a couple airport runs - 90 minutes at 80mph, I got 31mpg. My only other gripe is a lot of times the audio system does not recognize my iPhone and the heating system seems a bit weak - especially when just using the dash vents. Oh, and insult to injury - european models come with a full digital dash, HUD, pano sunroof, ventilated seats and a 360 camera.
Yikes good to know
Wow that’s too bad. Maybe you should get Honda to check it out to see if there is something wrong with it. I have the identical vehicle to you and I’m getting 36 mpg most of the time but I have gotten up to 39.2.
Same. The advertised MPG is a complete myth. I also can’t get my iPhone to connect consistently. My seats have huge divots in them after only a few months. I hate this car a little more every day.
I own the new CRV Advance Hybrid. The reason I chose it over the plug in hybrid is because the plug in does not come as All Wheel Drive which completely kills the main reason I chose this category of vehicles. I do not see much purpose in owning anything that looks like an SUV but behave like an ordinary saloon.
Lets look at the most important metric, it looks better than ANY other SUV. I have black on black and it's amazing!
Sorry guys, the Still Night Pearl turns heads😊. Actually they all look pretty good!
Honda sells a ton of these number 3 on the best all time selling single model vehicles possibly #2 depending on Tesla Model Y sales currently in the USA and the sell big precisely because they are simple and don't go crazy with the feature set that can't be supported and impinges reliability. 1000 pound towing capacity is a problem tho absolutely and hopefully the Honda Ridgline will change that for the entire Honda lineup from cars to SUVs. Probably worth the wait for any 2025 Model Year changes given the revolutionary fuel cell Honda CRV plus any specialized "outdoor editions" that might crop up.
The pickup in the gas CRV model is not anything to write home about. The seats are comfy & well made, the body style is great, rear seat leg room is great, but the sunroof is small for the price of the car and I’m not a fan of the CVT transmission offered.
The CR-V isn't more expensive than the RAV4 in practice. In fact it's 4-5k cheaper. Toyota dealers and even the company itself are charging insane markups for accessories you can't remove, and random BS. So here in AZ you may be able to get a Sport-L CR-V hybrid for under 44k, but the comparable Toyota RAV4 is over 49k out the door.
what do people think of this vs. outback?
No spare tire too.
Biggest problem I have with the CRV is the obscene road noise on the highway
The 2022 CRV Hybrid will be my last CRV. While I like some of the updates, it is not worth an upgrade. I get up to 44 mpg on my 2022.
We're 2024 and still such a small screen, which is on top of that not of equal design of the drivers console behind the steering wheel. It's also, just like the Rav4, a noisy car on high ways. A pitty because it's a beautiful car otherwise!
All your points are exactly why I can’t justify the price.
mmmhhmmmm
We sre looking for a hybrid with at least 34 to 40 mpg. I’m thinking the rav 4 prime over this
funny my all gas Elantra gets 45mpg on the highway everyday, and 32+ city depending on red lights
Rav 4 prime is way over priced.
@@joey24698 is that AWD? Does that have more room than these suvs? VW Jetta get about 40 too
Hi everyone, we have Honda hi Bert CRV and recently we noticed swing we drive. The engine sound is really loud when it switches from battery to gas. There’s this normal and there is like a click sound on the side of the car.
Apples to apples comparison should be lx/ex vs Rav4
Hi, It is not one problem ..there is a big problem with Honda CR-V 2024 Hybrid...The Collision Detection system doesn't work .. I had a front collision just after 10days I got the vehicle...Think twice before you make your mind 😔
That’s too bad. Mine does seem to work as it’s alerted me on several occasions.
Mine works fine. Sounds like you need to get yours checked out.
Was yours turned on?
plug in hybrids are useless after max 50 miles then the second plug in battery become a dead weight of 250lbs. stick to a regular hybrid. plus the extra battery reduces the towing and or cargo volume and weight.
This is non sport?
Test drove w/ my sister who wears contacts and is very perceptive when it comes to how a car rides. The "porpoising" (rocking/tipping up and down) caused her contacts to shift and bothered her eyes. After she said that, it became more noticeable to me. Otherwise, it's a nice SUV with a GREAT driving position.
they have E HEV just dont sell in US
I’m averaging 28 MPG with 90/10 city/highway. Less than my gas CRV. What a scam, Honda.
Part of the 7 worst would be that is the most stolen vehicle in Ontario Canada lol
lol for real??
@@dwnshft unfortunately yes well that’s what the local news said yesterday
This is true. I bought one of these last year and I was forced by my insurance company to install a tracker of their choice or else my premium would increase. Ontario Insurance is just ridiculous 🤕
@@joseamaya1178 that's because they are made there and are plentiful
6:39 ...a little bit of...Volvo
Special thanks to our Patreons for their support of the channel! CRV or RAV4?
You can’t even get ALL those features in the vehicles you mentioned, poor comparison lol.
Am watching your video for first time & am completely lost, hence asking why are you driving a CRV if you are drinking RAV4 koolaid?? LOL! 🤨
My job is to test cars and how I do that is to aggregate info from other cars within the segment and see how each one stacks up
@@dwnshftso this is a paid promoted video? Your job?
Thank you for the review, but I stopped watching at lets look at the luxury features..To my humble opinion, there are none. reliable? - only maybe. slow acceleration, mediocre gas mileage, absolute boring ride, no spare tire for gods sake. I used to be fan of Hondas, but only to discover how much i was missing as I grew car-wiser.
