Even with its fiercer competition, I still think CR-V is very reasonable for what it offers. Not as expensive as RAV4, still feature packed including full ADAS unlike its key European rivals like Tiguan and 3008 while still remain the most spacious inside.

I am driving a Honda CRV 1.5 Turbo with Honda sensing (not AWD) for close to 3 years now, warranty ending in Dec2021. Honest review, cabin noise is obvious but a good set of tyres can reduce it. 68db or 70db or 110db, I don't know, my eardrums are not tuned for that, but the cabin noise is acceptable for me. Power wise, it is very capable for a car with 90bucks roadtax, and though it is running on CVT, it can out accelerate many of its direct competitors in that price range. Fuel consumption is fairly good too for a car this size. I don't go by the counter on the dashboard. I drive around in Ipoh town most of the time, the car daily runs around 70-80km, one full tank about 85bucks and i can use that for 6-7days before the annoying "fill up your tank" sign comes out on the dash. Overall it is a good "do all your stuff" car, some might complain about its handling, but i find it irrelevant, it is an SUV afterall.
Agreed. It is very well all rounded 5 seaters SUV with complete package except the nvh. I’m very satisfied with my 2018 crv (1.5tc awd). It very practical and yes, space is luxury for people with family.
Got one as my first suv and very impressed practicality comfort style features and enough power for me for some might not be but I’m in the city so 0-60 in 2 seconds and 900 horsepower doesn’t make sense for me it’s good enough the power it has .

Hi Adrian, Currently I am using Honda CRV 2cc 2WD-2015 and its time for me to change the car, not that I have poblem with it,but I change car every 7years. I travel alot on Malaysian Highways and need ur advise that (CRV 1.5 4WD) will it be under power for Highway drives compare to my existing 2cc 2wd ? Pls give ur expert advice.
Adrian, agree with your CRV being a complete overall package but you didn't comments on the power delivery? Too bad the cabin noise 70db is higher than the X70
I would pay that extra rm10k for the lux Mazda CX-5 interior ✌🏼 the CRV interior and infotech just screams basic and the driver would prolly be bored of it by the second year of use. I’m pretty confident the CX5’s comfort is one up the CRV too 🤫
I tried giving the CX5 a fair chance, but the comfort is only on the driver. As a passenger on the side and the back, the seats somehow is not as comfortable as the ones in CRV. Perhaps it could be due to the big space in CRV while the space at the back passenger side of the CX5 makes me feel claustrophobic.
i ve been with 2 crv since 2010 n it can be trade out as easy as abc.. with good price compare to my last escape...worst..2 days in mudah bam! got buyer already
Hi, you can find the NVH reading for the X-Trail (60, 90 & 110 km/h) here: www.wapcar.my/news/nissan-xtrail-wapcar-ratings-results-1405250-score-average-1693
Reasonable price is the last statement you should make when referencing cars in Malaysia. It is one of the most expensive country in the world for cars...
Did the oil dilution issue go away with the 1.5 turbo? I’m still reading many customer complaints about this problem and spending 30k on a car that may not last long past the warranty is a major problem for me. I would advise to stay away from the turbo engines.
WapCar Parts of U.S. like Florida and Texas and Arkansas are warmer but many reports there as well. Honda did a fix with the software and extended warranty on Powertrain for extra year but the opinion of many is to get rid of it before the 6 years is up because it’s likely to not have a long life with the 1.5 turbo.
I think the issue is different due to the different viscosity and type of oil used in the US compared with Malaysia. There has never been a complain about oil dilution in the Malaysian market so far.
Honda only can shout on their space and practicality. Boring to hear many times by most reviewers. Btw RAV4 is a D segment, CBU and sophisticated new engine and suspension that cannot be compared to a CRV.
bro, are u sure RAV4 is D-segment? so where do you put Toyota highlander then? RAV4 in malaysia is totally overpriced and UMW shall bring in CKD to grasp the suv market in malaysia. I am using RAV4 in americas right now and also having CRV back in malaysia. I can say that, CRV can beat RAV4 in every inch.
Those whom are willing to risk your Lives over looks then go for it.If y'all get what I mean! I've already driven this Facelifted version and it's no difference at all.Crappy suspension that will make you vomit! Good Luck

Please compare apple to apple and ask Honda to offer 2.5T engine and see how much they will sell...btw CX5 rm175k is only rm13k more expensive than CRV, to me it worth it...I tried CRV before, the NVH is damn lousy and the CVT is noisy...

How does it fair against the toyota cross?
Corolla Cross is more supple and comfortable, but it's smaller than the CR-V. May not be suitable for big families
Agree Adrian. I love the car too. Yes it’s not the most beautiful but it’s mostly ok like you say😂
COROLLA CROSS HYBRID or CRV?
Thank you wapcar
Corolla cross or crv? :))
Can you do a review of the accord. Cause when you did it before it is too short. Not detail enought
I think when they did review on Accord, they didnt do it individually but rather reviewed together with Camry

Adrian do you think the Peugeot 3008 & 5008 is a good competitor for the CRV ?
Yes very viable and compelling alternatives too if you want to standout from the sea of CR-V
Yes, but the Peugeot models lack ADAS. So it depends on what you're looking for
is it the DRCC of CRV 2021 provide 0-180km/h speed follow?

CX-5's interior is top class! However the CR-V still rides more comfortably, Mazda's are a tad bit stiffer than its class rivals 😬
