#Honda #HR-V - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Better than my 2020 HRV in every way. The new interior looks fantastic.
Saw one today in white….love it!
Excited for your upcoming videos on this. You are the first person to describe the magic seat (or lack of) for those people that did not have a Honda with one. Great review!
I really like the way it looks. It reminds me of a Porsche Macan for the masses.
I just did a test drive yesterday and told the exact same thing to the sales consultant 😂
@@joelibarra2739 Haha! I'm glad other people see the resemblance. Especially the Sport version. I like it!
I wonder if you can use Civic parts to add rear AC Vents and USB charge ports. 🤔
@10:21 the Crosstrek also has a hybrid platform option as a third powertrain. Something to note.
Love the euro spec one better idk why Honda didn’t just bring that here
Thou North America does get the most powerful HR-V, other part of the world is getting the most handsome one.
What's the difference
I still think North America has the most beautiful HR-V.
Euro version does look way better and it's a hybrid. Honda, I want a hybrid. Are you listening?
I like this design tho
@@RayanMADAO the North America gets the rebadged ZR-V.
I love it but I get Ford Escape vibes & not entirely happy with that. I’d definitely buy because it does look amazing & it’s a Honda. I have a 2016 Civic Touring & have never had any issues with it. Still a great car but I’m thinking of trading it for this.
I’m a big fan of this new HRV!!
Looks better in video than images.
Interesting spot for Honda to showcase driving impressions. Seems like they want the HR-V to appear adventurous but missing things like integrated roof rails, hitch for bikes, fog lights, etc. I do think there is a lot to like about the new HR-V, but could have used more available options and maybe even a higher touring-like trim.
It’s got a 2020 Ford Escape inspired front end.
great review i thought of old hrv which i had one
I can feel the mosquitoes in this video 💀😂
Welcome to the PNW. 😉
all i gotta say took em' long enough !
awesome video Nathen! this looks like a civic wagon to me.
odd rear , tail lights look like audi too me.
It also has independent rear suspension, unlike the previous version. And unlike the front wheel drive version of the Toyota Corolla cross
Do you have a measurement how deep the cargo space is with the seats up? I'm on the list for one of these but I'm trying to find out if it's deep enough to slide a wheelchair into.
Interesting and valid comments here. With car prices through the roof, and even finding a car is near impossible, I chose a 2023 HR-V. The dealer had the one I want, a black EX-L, coming in August, so I put down a $500 deposit. Is it my dream car? Of course not, but the price is great (no dealer markup) and it’s a reliable vehicle. Front end could be better, wish it was the Euro version, as other have mentioned. Love the new taillights. Interior looks great. The whole magic seat thing means nothing to me…we don’t have people ever in the back seats. I wish it was available in a hybrid, but oh well.
I just got mine about a week ago and it’s super practical. I adore it. The EX-L is such a great choice and I’m honestly incredibly satisfied. I hope you love it too!
@@camilaarrate7925 what color did you get?
@@jbeechuk I got the one in the video Nordic Forest Pearl
@@camilaarrate7925 very cool!
My exact situation! I put down my $500 and just waiting now. I got Nordic Pearl EX-L
I was trying to figure out why the 2023 had removed the magic seats in the 2023, we've had a lease for various HRV models since 2017, and I couldn't find an explanation on why the 2023 (that we swapped to about 2 months ago) didn't have it, only that the 2022 did. I was completely unaware they had moved the gas tank. Appreciate the review man (even if this comment is coming a little late).
Looks good.
I love the new HRV. I know alot of people hate the front end but I love it. MPG is eh but 30 on highway isn't bad at all.
I know, right! I have the 2023 Honda Hr-v sport in red, and I totally love it. Front end looks fine to me.
6:58 I guess you were trying to mention the first gen CR-V. That SUV had less power than even the last gen HR-V at 120HP. This would be about the same size as either the 2nd or 3rd gen with about the same amount of power from a 2.0 engine as compared to the 2.4 the CR-V used from the 2nd gen until 2017.
Improvement, but I like the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid w/ awd.
Ironic that Honda released this less efficient version at the same time that gas has hit record high prices. Honda really should offer hybrid/PHEV options of this for the US market.
When I first saw it, I didn't like the styling - I thought the European version looked better. Now, I see it differently. The way the headlights are positioned in relation to the grille, reminds me a bit of the S2000 front end. Overall, it's a safe, pleasant look.
does the passenger seat fold flat? fair that local dealers are marking up 4k over msrp?
Took it for test-drive today, so, I'm was not impressed.
Not enough acceleration for me (but it's ok for a quiet retiree ride), a lot of motor noise from high RPM because of CVT (there is some soundproofing under the hood), rather unpleasant vibration throughout the car when you stand at a traffic light - in my opinion this is unacceptable.
The car made in Mexico, don't know about quality and reliability, also the load on the engine and transmission due to more weight and AWD will increase compared to the Civic...
The dealership in Colorado asked for $31.115 for Sport Trim with AWD (they add $1654 to price) which is a lot for car like this I guess.
So, fair price in my mind for this Car should be no more than $25-28 at the exit with all taxes.
There was no desire to buy (especially for this price).
If you’ve had magic seats like our 2018 HRV their is no compromise. I find it appalling that Honda would change that. We love ours you can fit a full size home door with ease. With proper seat relocation a 6 foot driver can lay flat on an air bed. Our rear seats fold flat as well.
Do you think it’s better to buy a used one with magic Seat?
@@milliem8051 I love mine. Mine is a 2018 bought new. Never looked back. Zero issues except premature out of warranty battery failure common to Honda. It’s part of there weight saving protocol that owners can fix. 90 percent of the time our rear seats are folded down loaded up with fishing gear. A 7 foot pole lays right beside the console. In magic seat mode where both rear seats are lifted and locked I took a 55” big in its box home. I wouldn’t buy based on the magic seat alone.
Welcome to Washington State Nathan. Hope you liked it here.
When is the new CRV debut?
I have a 2024 hrv exl and it is a beautiful car, but i just cannot understand why they wouldn’t include a backseat armrest/cupholder and charging ports. Also, a powerlift gate should be on the top trim exl.
I like it 👍🏼👍🏼
I really like your reveals Nathan
I want auto start with seat belt
While breaking no problem + cooling seat
Certainly better looking than the old HR-V. On the downside, front overhang is too large and tire/wheel combination looks a bit too small relative to the body.
Ventilated front seats?
No rear AC vents wth 🤷
Which would u prefer Hrv 2023 or trailblazer 2022?
“Much weaker engine” not really lol only by like 20 hp but it still had lots of torque. Same engine as in the 8th and 9th gen civic. It’s a great engine
I hope that if this reaches to PH, we will have the 1.5L turbo version. 🙏
How many MPG in highway? Please help me.I have CR-Z and have 42MPG, I just wondering what is the performance of this one because I'm planing to buy a new car I'm thinking about this one..
It looks great to me. I wonder though better HR-V might eat into share of CR-V 🤷♂️
Hmmm…seems like Honda took away what made the original HR-V unique. The front end styling is Ford derivative but a way better interior than the earlier HR-V. For $30k I would by a 2016-18 low mile Acura RDX with the rip snorting 3.5L V6 which I have gotten 28mpg on the highway traveling from Ohio to Florida. I own a 2017 Advance with 120k miles and it drives and runs great. (I am a former Acura and Honda salesman so I am quite familiar with both vehicles)My RDX interior is amazingly durable, looks new. I bought this vehicle used 6 months ago for less than $20k. I have seen 2018 RDX Advance models with low miles for around $30k. Way more car for the money and almost as efficient.
I wish they didnt make it bigger, but I guess everyone want a bigger car.
Get a crv then. Stop making every model bigger.
I kind of like it’s look!
I think the Corolla Cross (specially the new hybrids) look better ok the exterior, but the Honda has a much better interior. Can’t wait for a direct comparison between them.
No hybrid version at launch? Honda, what is you doing.
@@rich1hawaii I know that. ”What is you doing” is from a meme.
Transmission Reliability????
Need to have manual transmission with it.
The mazda cx30 can be a competitor to this vehicle too
…and the VW Taos
It's NOT a Honda Civic wagon and I'm MAD at them! Haha
How do you do a car review without sitting in the driver's seat?!? I'm about as big as Nathan (6'3" and 230) and I really wanted to see how comfortable he was in driver's seat! Who cares about the back seat? My dog will fit.
If Nathan fits inside comfortably then I fit inside comfortably, I hope someone at Toyota is taking notes on sizing. 🤔
Except Nathan sits freakishly close to the steering wheel in every vehicle review where I've seen him driving. He must have incredibly short legs for his height. I'm 2 inches shorter than him and have to adjust my seat much farther back than he sits in order to get comfortable. I swear he's almost slumped over the steering wheel when he drives, it's weird.
@@b1riley1000 I have relatively short legs with a very long torso and end up being about 6'3". For those reasons, the current mania of dropping roof lines by shaving off back seat head room to accommodate a 'swoopy' roof line drives me nuts. It is even more exasperating when the designers supply plenty of rear legroom with no place for passengers to put their heads! As the owner of an older Toyota model that leaves me with over 2 inches of spare headroom, I am particularly offended by the fact Toyota dramatically reduced head and leg room in their TNGA generation. When it comes to compact and subcompact CUVs, the CR-V and new HR-V put the RAV4 and Corolla Cross to shame.
@@rightlanehog3151 That's interesting, I didn't realize Toyota had such an issue with head room in their new vehicles. A quick search online confirmed exactly what you said, a lot of people are complaining about this issue.
@@b1riley1000 If you park a Matrix/Vibe beside the current Corolla hatch you will see the roof line of the hatch is 6 inches lower!!!!!! Hence the phrase T.N.J.A. or
Toyota New Jockey Architecture. The new trucks don't escape the criticism either, many people are deeply frustrated that Toyota shrunk the interior of the new Tundra and 3rd row of the Sequoia. A couple of days ago I read a comment from a 5'8" owner of a current Tundra complaining about the back seat of the new Tundra double cab. I just hope somebody at Toyota Motor Corporation is paying attention. Space for rear facing child seats in family vehicles is a whole other area of concern for Toyota.
the front looks Ford-ish
Why do you need 2 of the same TFL Car patches on your shirt?
Needs black badging for that price
This video had me itching and swatting at mosquitoes that didn’t exist.
Forests are like that. 😉
@@WW-wf8tu not all only the damp and humid ones😜
So what model is this, an EX?
I'm 100% OK with a Civic wagon. Civic: good. Wagon: good. Civic wagon: good-good.
This Honda looks better then the Toyota Cross. Looks GREAT!
An important cool feature it hasn’t got is air vents in the back.
I think Honda is missing the best of HR-V redesign in the other markets: the 1.5L turbo motor that delivers 20 more HP. The redesigned 2022 HR-V of European, Asian and South American market still based in the Fit platform, but more fun than dull underpowered 2023 American market new model. With 1.5 turbo motor from Civic would be better competitor to VW Taos and closer to Mazda CX 30 turbo.
If the new HRV comes with the turbo engine as option, I’ll get rid of Acura TSX wagon. Getting midsize truck mpg is a 2WD 4cyl car is horrible. Especially with these current gas prices.
same lol
The model he's reviewing is AWD fyi.
Timing chain or belt?
Looks like an awesome car! Going after the Corolla Cross!
Honda is all timing chain now besides the Ridgeline
The V6 engine has a timing belt, the 4 cylinders have timing chains. It has been like that since the early 2000's, at least.
Is a CVT a reason to avoid?
Yes
With Honda and Toyota, not quite. Their CVTs are pretty reliable if you do your maintenance. It won't be a very fast car, but I'd rather have a CVT than a DCT.
@@damilolaakanni regular automatic is better. Dct is OK but not ideal unless you live in a place that is well paved and relatively flat land.
Honda and Toyota build way better CVT transmissions than the manufacturers that buy the JATCO crap. Avoid CVT transmissions on Nissan, Subaru, and Jeep. They are all junk, but Honda and Toyota should last the typical life of the car.
The 2022 HR V looks much better, 2023 HR V has more chrome and better lines and sits higher off the ground, and has shift paddles in the sport mode to make that sluggish CVT a little more exciting.
Why you would choose this over the c-Rv which looks better, more room, better mileage
Honda builds the best 4 and 6 cylinder engines in my opinion. I own 3 and all run great ! I’d buy this over all that turbo 💩
if only it were a hybrid.
Cecil noted here Subaru Crosstrek now available in high economy hybrid model. Wow, thank you Cecil. I’m long time fan of hard to beat Subaru AWD system, they can do crazy things off road compared to their competition. As well as everyday deep snow-go for work. We live up north on gravel road, long driveway and had 6 Subarus over last 30 years. See on CZcams “Subaru deep snow” or “Subaru traction” and the best, “Forester hill climb”, it’s outrageous, a stock Forester just bounces and bombs up steep sandy hill climb area that denies many heavy duty modified 4x4’s. It’s a real “hoot” to watch.
158hp and a CVT. Can it get any worse?
Same as the VW Taos
Fantastic!
What's the price?
Thank you!
Congratulations! 👏
It’s good looking, but no magic seat and less power than the Cross Trek and Corolla Cross. A hybrid power train or the 1.5L turbo would have made this the winner, but for now it’s in third place. With gas prices where they are now, I am leaning towards the Corolla Cross hybrid. RIP magic seat! That was the best feature of my Fit. It was the easiest way to transport a bicycle.
$27.000s very affordable!! Wasn't sure if you could purchase a vehicle under $50.000 anymore..Honda makes good products..
+5k-8k out of door 32-35k tho
Our local dealer doesn't do Market Adjustments, however, their way of getting a little extra is to include undercoating and paint protection on all vehicles sold, no exceptions. This adds about $1300 to the price of all their cars, however, at least you're getting something for your money. It's not a deakership that's pocketing $3-5k just because they can. It's value added for the price. Better than a ton of the stealerships out there that are greedy. And, besides, I always add the undercoat to all cars being in New England, so no big deal here.
No hybrid is stupid. I see Rav4 hybrids all over.
Dimensions look a bit off at least to my eyes. The distance between the front tire and the nose of the bumper looks really awkward.
its all and good but honda dealer in houston charging $5000 over the MSRP shame on them
Our 19' Accord gets way better MPG than this thing, why Honda didn't stick w/ the Euro all hybrid version is baffling to me.
Pretty sure that's an S2000 :D
Looks like a Ford Escape and Porsche macan.
Please choice of manual or conventional auto! There are some of us that hate CVTs! The magic seats were excelent for versatility, no good they are gone.
I don't why car makers think Americans like slow vehicles?...
The Height makes it look like a car. The front looks like it has a bicycle mustache. CVT, no vents or USB ports in the back seat. No thanks, but to each his own.
You don’t have a TON of space, it’s better to say “some” space.
Looks like every other new suv.
More power means nothing with big weight gain
My '19 CR-V LX AWD is rated for 31 MPG Highway. It's bigger, I assume heavier, has a larger engine (2.4L vs 2.0) that makes more power (184 HP and 184 lb ft torque). 30 on an HR-V with way less room and way less power simply doesn't make sense! Buy a used CR-V instead if you don't want to spend the extra on a new CR-V.
Underpowered & low MPGs
@@allentoyokawa9068 0-60 in 11 seconds, you like that?
the 2022 euro version has more beautiful front
With AWD this will probably feel sluggish. The Corolla Cross Hybrid will probably knock this out of the water driving wise.
Why? Which ones better
@@milliem8051 So the HRV handles better and has a better interior feel and space. But the Corolla cross accelerates better (7.8 0-60) and has much better fuel eco like 42 mpg.
That has the face of a Ford
This gets 17hp more than the previous gen but its heavier so it will be just as slow
Don't forget the Seltos. Both the Corolla Cross and this new HRV are so clearly aimed squarely at the Seltos
This type of car needs at least 30+ mpg city to be worth it
lost it's aggressive appeal from the previous model
Looks like a ford edge
Hybrid?
idk what's worse... less mpg... less space... uglier then euro version... no hybrid... no magic seat... no more compact suv... big price increase... hard pass... best reviewer out of all the tfl channels imo
Nail on the head, what was Honda thinking!? Why spend billions more in development when you had released a superior version in Europe!?
well theres always the corolla cross
Always has been the best reviewer on TFL
Couldn't agree more. I was thinking about getting one, but no hybrid is a complete deal breaker. I'll stick with my Honda Insight for now. Hopefully the 2024 or 2025 will offer a hybrid.
The worse gas mileage comes with more power. My sister is leasing a 2020 HRV and it’s by far the worst Honda product my family has owned / leased. Maybe it’s because it’s made in Mexico unlike other Hondas, or maybe it’s because it was based off the Fit. But it’s by far the worst handling and poorly finished Honda. I hope that this will fix much of it and so far it looks promising.
Looks like a Supra
If you take the front emblem off it looks like a Kia
@@allentoyokawa9068 Those are my views, you can keep you insults to yourself.
