One thing that Honda is doing really well lately is simple controls that are easy to use and easy to learn. Some companies are going too complex with even basic climate control adjustments being handled through screens or haptic systems but Honda gets it.
Yup. That's why we're veering from toyota for the first time in thirty years.. Couldn't go with the highlander. End bating on a small s u v instead of the camera... But the rap forest just feels cramped ,small inside so much. But can't get over the turbo in the c r v. Not sure about the hybrid. And deftly don't like the hump in the back or no spare tire.
It's nice to see a non top-trim reviewed! I already got this car last month but there were so few thorough reviews of this base hybrid sport model, not everyone wants the top touring trim! to me this is actually the best value for the hybrid. the only thing I REALLY miss from the touring and wish it had was wireless carplay.
@@lv619 I was surprised at how pricey those little adapters are, I was expecting them to be like 10-15 bucks lol. hopefully I can find a good one for Apple.
in 2022, Toyota RAV4 was beating CRV 2:1 in sales. Honda was shocked, and has fought back with a lot of improvements, most importantly in availability, and now i think the CRV is the prettier product. Sure do have boring colors though; more than half of the colors are somewhere between white and black. Honda makes a great car, and this is their #1 vehicle. Toyota and Honda's rivalry keeps them honest. My nephew in Texas will not buy a car that doesn't have ventilated seats. So that is something they should look into. Sure hate the lack of a spare tire. I have had over 10 flat tires in my life so far. The CRV and RAV4 are so practical and cover such a huge swath of potential uses, i don't see the public ever returning to Sedans. These offer so much more interior volume.
Well the sales numbers for the Accord are as follows: Year sold 2005 376,293 2006 354,441 2007 382,231 2008 368,161 2009 290,056 2010 311,381 2011 252,304 2012 353,204 2013 366,678 2014 388,435 2015 355,557 2016 345,135 2017 322,655 2018 291,071 2019 267,567 2020 199,458 2021 202,676 2022 154,612 you can see that it has dropped off dramatically. 2022 was an aberration, as the factories were shut down due to lack of parts. 2023 will be probably 250k, as the Accord Hybrid has staggeringly good MPG, and is a wonderful product. But the CRV will continue to be Honda's #1 product. @@charlesjackson1700
I purchased a 24’ sport hybrid about a month ago and with almost 2000 miles in I have to say it’s a very nice ride. Averaging 39.4mpg with mixed driving. Yes it could be “sportier” for a sport trim but it doesn’t everything well. I agree the chrome badges on the rear should be blacked out (like the sport badge is) Much better steering feel and front seat comfort over the 23’ Kia Sportage Hybrid
i tested it out today and those seats are a disaster if you come from a premium vehicle. Its like sitting on a park bench...that and the seven inch ultra low contrast display . Glad you said it has a better seat comfort than a KIA Sportage because that was my next vehicle to check out. Now i can skip it all together.
Urban Gray looks good on this CR-V Sport this generation looks great but the flat black around the wheels and the chrome around the windows is a definite zonk. Neat clean interior with orange stitching and roomy space. Joe and Steven thank you both for the review, camera work, and on throttle action!
Nice video Joe. My in-laws had a 3rd gen CR-V and back then my 2014 Jetta was more comfortable than that thing. It truly is amazing how much this car has grown in size over the past 10 years. The size of this new gen is what a midsize SUV was 7 years ago. Incredible!
@@jonathan_714 I miss my Jetta so much. That thing was a blast to drive and fuel economy was amazing. Had to sell it in favor of an SUV when my kids were born. I’m currently saving for a MK8 Golf R. Can’t wait to get behind the wheel on a VW again. I love VW’s.
I purchased my Honda CRV Sport a couple of months ago and I absolutely love it!!! I get 41.8 mpg around town. It’s better looking than the one you are showing. I live in Las Vegas and it got hot very fast. I run the A/C constantly now and currently get 41.3 mpg. With gas prices being over $5.00 per gallon I’m over the moon with the mileage I’m getting. This car is so big inside and very comfortable. I’m still learning all the great features and am happy I went with Honda rather than Toyota. One other thing, when you start it up it is totally quiet. My boss has the Toyota and hers is so loud compared to mine. Very happy with my new vehicle.
Got the ‘23 sport. Fake exhaust didn’t bother me. I will agree that the rear seat controls setup is an inconvenience, considering the previous generation had a lever at the trunk. Some of the cosmetic zonk, if bothersome, are fixable with after-market parts, so it’s no big deal. I am however, most impressed with the car’s driving dynamics. For me, it always seems strangely familiar to drive even though it is the 1st time at the wheel. My biggest zonk with the car is the road noise when the car is on a rougher highway road. Most intrigued with the engine/transmission setup. If you make another CR-V, please elaborate more on the engine/transmission setup. From the reviews, it appears some are confused with this configuration vs the traditional CVT. Your fans deserves to know this😊
My wife 2014 CRV has been a rock. I've gone through six cars and she's still driving it. No serious problems. Just tune up at 110k miles. Adds oil sometimes. I don't do car reviews but I did post a video about 5 reliable used cars priced under 10k on my channel. Lol I honestly forgot to include CRV on it. But I did mention Acura MDX. Honda makes Acura right. So I don't know if today's CRV will be as reliable. But I always bet on Honda CRV.
No ventilated seats is a dealbreaker for me. Why would you not put ventilated seats in a 40k car. Other misses are 360 camera and hud. I love everything else about the car.
What's worse is that the European version gets the ventilated seats and all other bells and whistles. I would actually take the Acura if it was available in hybrid though.
Honda did cost cut in some places here and there but overall will still be a top seller. One thing I find strange is last generation you got LED turn signals front and rear no matter what trim. This generation doesn’t matter what trim you get the rear doesn’t have LED turn signals. Find that strange
I work in the parts department and have already had two customers wanting fog lights on their new vehicle but Honda doesn't even offer them as an accessory.
I bought cr-v hybrid touring a few days ago and I love how it is buttery smooth when driving. But there are a few things that I wish this vehicle had are 2nd row heated seat and ventilated seats for every seat. But I value more in reclining backseat than those, so I got cr v. Overall, feel so great! When driving slow you will literally feel like u r driving a electric vehicle.

Went with 2024 Honda CRV AWD Sport L. Amazing vehicle with a “solid” build feel inside and out. Better design inside/outside and more back seat room than RAV4.
Hey Raitis rides you a revised the Honda CRV hybrid sports with a CVT Transmission, What do you think of the Toyota rav4, Mazda cx5 and cx50 natural aspirated Engine, if you was to choose personality which one would you pick I am looking forward for your answer stay safe. Thanks
Rav4 and cx50 build in usa cheaper. Only cx5 build in Japan solid car today overall. But low IQ people choose cx50 because looks bigger but overall people quick regret buying cx50 for noise and squizing here and there. They also choose Rav4 because gas mileage. but they don't see outdated trashy interior and cost of replacing battery in future. Of course they buying hybrid to save on gas and save for future replacing battery
@yournightmare9999 you are a people's person question what do you think about a four cylinders turbo engine compared to a four cylinders natural aspirated engine which is better 🤔.
There is no CVT in the hybrid version of the CR-V. Technically, Honda’s two-motor hybrid system doesn’t have a transmission at all, or even a power-split device like Toyotas. Rather than use a torque converter or mechanical pulley or belt, Honda's two-motor hybrid system relies on the interplay of the two motors for driving and generating power. The new fourth-generation of the Honda 2023-24 hybrid system enables an additional low-speed lockup clutch. This allows direct engine drive under a wider range of vehicle speeds. When cruising at mid- or high-speeds in the high-efficiency range of the engine, a lock-up clutch engages the drive motor to the generator motor, transmitting engine torque directly to the drive wheels as efficiently as possible. Three different operating modes are used by Honda's two-motor system, which seamlessly switches between the three depending on throttle position, state of battery charge, and other factors: EV Drive Mode, Hybrid Drive Mode, and Engine Drive Mode. The gear shifts and associated sound are simulated. I own the 2023 Sport Touring and can attest to a very smooth driving experience. I've had a power-split planetary gear based hybrid for the past 10 years. Honda's approach provides a much better driving experience in my opinion.
I've seen several Honda CVTs over 200k miles including my Accord at the dealership. Lately we've replaced several Ridgeline 6 speed auto transmissions and occasionally a CRV and HRV CVT. Only one Accord with a blown CVT.. not sure if they can't handle the weight or AWD but part of me thinks it's operator error (like driving in low gear on the freeway)
oh interesting! the previous Gen (which we own a 22) has handles near the back gate to release and fold down the rear seats. I'm surprised they removed that feature.
I've seen a lot of cost cutting on the new Pilots and CRVs... Generally it's stuff you won't miss but unfortunately some things you will... Like no accessory fog lights offered from Honda. So if it doesn't have fog lights you're out of luck.
I wanted this car before they started rolling out and so we went with 22 and the fact they removed the spare, that seat folding handle and how it’s not fully flat when folding were a no for me.
Hey Joe. Long time subscriber here. I’ve always enjoyed your style of marrying detailed, accurate descriptions of your vehicles as well as the subjective, irreverent, and entertaining (usually) observations. A bit of a let down here though, with incorrect statements on the drivetrain - there are 2 electric motors, not 1. There isn’t ANY cvt - just a fixed low gear and a fixed high gear, with the electric motors supplanting any need for a transmission. Those shifting paddles that you referred to are actually for modulating regen braking. Not sure why you didn’t want to make a better effort on presenting more accurate descriptions. Still love ya though:)
To be fair, while there are two motor-generators, only one is ever used as a motor for propulsion. The other is a generator, a starter motor, and (if the battery is full) a motor to switch from regen braking to engine braking.
I was comparing the Honda CRV to the Mazda CX-50 when I went to buy a car last month... It's insane how many features the CRV is missing & it feels incredibly cheap inside with all the plastic. I tested Toyota, Subaru, Honda, Kia, Hyundai, & the CRV was by far the most underwhelming SUV in this class. I went with the CX-50. It's nothing short of amazing. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an SUV.
I had the exact opposite experience. I really wanted the CX-50 but was disappointed after test driving and sitting in one. I ended up getting a CR-V Hybrid.
Joe, the real reason why Honda, Toyota stick with a CVT transmission is because it's cheaper than a real automatic transmission. The automatic transmissions nowadays are just as efficient, if not a bit more so, than a CVT.
I was fortunate enough to have two Uber rides, there and back from the dealer while car was in service; a brand new Tuscon and the new CRV. The CRV definitely has a better interior than the Tuscon, but I still think the Toyota has the edge mainly due to it’s tech and bigger screens. The feel and quality of the CRV was amazing, but wasn’t persuasive enough to make me think the CRV is better than the RAV4. Oh and I still think it looks ugly, front and rear 😂😂. But I can see why you can make a case for the CRV.
THE CR-V got a better look than the RAV4 cheap effeminate look while Honda got some Volvo and BMW design to it. And what do you mean by the CR-V has better interior than the Tucson. Elaborate that part.
@@darkivaz-aaa1145 to each of their own on the RAV4 vs CRV interior: I think the Honda has a better interior mainly due to 2 things. The amount of gloss black inside the Tuscon, which was overly done in my opinion, and the touch sensitive buttons, which to make it worse, are covered in gloss black. Way too much glare even as a passenger. Otherwise, I think the Tuscon looks a tad bit better than the CRV.
Had 3 consecutive crv leases coz I love the design , handling and overall utility. This redesign is more boxy and generic … upgraded myself to an Acura rdx a spec. No regrets ❤️
don't mind the flat black on the side fenders, not too much just right. One exhausts is functional and the other isn't is a major zonk. Yes all badging should be black.
I bought the touring back in Jan 2023. The only complaint I have is avg mpg. I drive a lot from SoCal to Vegas and I can’t get anything over 34mpg. I know the way you drive affects mpg but even on long highway drives with cruise control activated mpg isn’t where I would’ve expected.
You recognize how good Joe @Raiti's Ride is when you view multiple reviews of the same car. Another fantastic review Joe! Will be going with this Honda BEV over the Toyota. We are upgrading from a 2003 Accord that has served us faithfully. At 80,000, we took that car once to Meineke Car Care Center to fix the air-conditioned.
finally a nose/hood in a CRV I can fall in love with !... 4:58 looks pretty X1 , X3 rear to me... it actually looks faster than the Rogue... ( still loving the response of our Edge STLine 21, it flies ! )
Walked to the dealership to check out this exact car today. (currently driving the 2018 grand cherokee) Loved the idea of getting 40 MPG, loved the exterior. I mean that exterior is absolutely stunning. Same interior as this one. ... Once you get into the drivers seat this infotainment system hits you hard. Its ultra basic, low contrast and just sucks in general. Ive tried convincing myself that maybe i could live with it somehow..... Walked out of the dealership because i just couldnt do it. Once you live with a beautiful high contrast infotainment system (like my uconnect 4c stellantis)- looking at this absolutely hurts your eyes and will make you suffer day after day. The seats are way too hard for longer rides and would make it difficult to enjoy long range trips. If it had those two things done right i would have bought it today, even for a fee. Ill keep looking around and maybe i can get this car with those things improved , but once we start going past 40 k I might as well get something else. The inside is simply dull and makes you not want to be there.
JOE ~ one thing good about Honda's is they drive until they die, ya go to a used car lot & see any Honda & it most likely has over 100,000 miles on it - kinda like Toyota, they're built to last. T-Bird
🇺🇸 *OWN a CR-V* !! *LOVE this NEW CR-V Sport* !! *204HP is a good balance* !! *PREFER any CR-V over the RAV4* !! *Personally, I would opt for a GAS engine* !! *FAB content Joe and Steven* !! #RaitisRides 🇺🇸
The Honda CRV hybrid is the best buy you can get from Honda. When I purchased my 2023 Honda CRV everything else on the lot pilot and passport were way overpriced. All I ask before the next generation if they would make this SUV, an inch taller (ceiling), an inch wider (interior), and an inch longer for interior backseat. i'm not Crampton Side, but I think a little bit bigger than every aspect will make this SUVwin all the way around. Oh yeah a bit more HP 220hp. Nice review 👍
@@Yeabuddy720that's because he made it up. 1. There is no physical eCVT. 2. My Sport Touring did have a recall for a software update... But that was a few months ago.
I love this Honda Zu-Zu 🚙 what fascinating is that I have an 7 inch infotainment system too. My girlfriend loves it when she rides and goes on throttle 😁
I have not driven a CR-V or Rav 4, but have been backseat passengers in both several times recently during Uber trips on the same roads. My wife and I eliminated the Rav 4 from consideration for our next vehicle due to those experiences. Rav 4 had an uncomfortable, loud, ride in the back seat, and felt "cheap" compared to the Honda. We have owned both brands in the past, but for us, it was clear between those two models.
My cousin bought a 24, not even a month ago. He still has his temp tags on. And guess what? He already sideswiped the car with a pole while backing out of a parking spot at school. :(
I have been doing a lot of research on which vehicle to buy next. The Honda CRV seems to be one of the running leads in terms of reliability, dependability, overall quality, space and gas milage. That being said does anyone know if the new 2024 models are just as good as the older models and also are there any Honda CRV owners out there that can give me their personal experience with their Honda CRV?
I'm not sure how much this helps, given the age of my car, but I've had NO major problems with my 2012 CR-V. I really like the interior room of the CR-V and it has a very good ride quality, even after 11 years. I don't know whether this is the case for the 2024 models, but it's certainly on my short list.

Hey Raitis rides you a revised the Honda CRV hybrid sports with a CVT Transmission, What do you think of the Toyota rav4, Mazda cx5 and cx50 natural aspirated Engine, if you was to choose personality which one would you pick I am looking forward for your answer stay safe. Thanks
Rav4 and cx50 build in usa cheaper. Only cx5 build in Japan solid car today overall. But low IQ people choose cx50 because looks bigger but overall people quick regret buying cx50 for noise and squizing here and there. They also choose Rav4 because gas mileage. but they don't see outdated trashy interior and cost of replacing battery in future. Of course they buying hybrid to save on gas and save for future replacing battery
@@yournightmare9999 thanks 😊
@@JS-qj2sg no problem
@yournightmare9999 you are a people's person question what do you think about a four cylinders turbo engine compared to a four cylinders natural aspirated engine which is better 🤔.
There is no CVT in the hybrid version of the CR-V. Technically, Honda’s two-motor hybrid system doesn’t have a transmission at all, or even a power-split device like Toyotas. Rather than use a torque converter or mechanical pulley or belt, Honda's two-motor hybrid system relies on the interplay of the two motors for driving and generating power. The new fourth-generation of the Honda 2023-24 hybrid system enables an additional low-speed lockup clutch. This allows direct engine drive under a wider range of vehicle speeds. When cruising at mid- or high-speeds in the high-efficiency range of the engine, a lock-up clutch engages the drive motor to the generator motor, transmitting engine torque directly to the drive wheels as efficiently as possible. Three different operating modes are used by Honda's two-motor system, which seamlessly switches between the three depending on throttle position, state of battery charge, and other factors: EV Drive Mode, Hybrid Drive Mode, and Engine Drive Mode. The gear shifts and associated sound are simulated. I own the 2023 Sport Touring and can attest to a very smooth driving experience. I've had a power-split planetary gear based hybrid for the past 10 years. Honda's approach provides a much better driving experience in my opinion.
Agree, the Honda hybrid driving experience is so smooth and seamless.
😂I love the CR-V I think Honda did a great job.
Both are great options. Everything depends on the budget.
Are the seats good for long rides of 300 or more miles? Is the 2.0 i4 engine multi-port of DI?
Am confused between this and Cx-5. Any suggestions considering I need more ground stability.
This new CR-V is far and away a better-looking vehicle than the Terminator Rav4.
RAV4 for me, because they're all naturally aspirated 2.5L engines with an 8-speed transmission (Not a CVT). The Toyota's can last nearly forever.
But toyota is outdated inside and usa made it cheap reliability
I've seen several Honda CVTs over 200k miles including my Accord at the dealership. Lately we've replaced several Ridgeline 6 speed auto transmissions and occasionally a CRV and HRV CVT. Only one Accord with a blown CVT.. not sure if they can't handle the weight or AWD but part of me thinks it's operator error (like driving in low gear on the freeway)
oh interesting! the previous Gen (which we own a 22) has handles near the back gate to release and fold down the rear seats. I'm surprised they removed that feature.
I've seen a lot of cost cutting on the new Pilots and CRVs... Generally it's stuff you won't miss but unfortunately some things you will... Like no accessory fog lights offered from Honda. So if it doesn't have fog lights you're out of luck.
I wanted this car before they started rolling out and so we went with 22 and the fact they removed the spare, that seat folding handle and how it’s not fully flat when folding were a no for me.
Hey Joe. Long time subscriber here. I’ve always enjoyed your style of marrying detailed, accurate descriptions of your vehicles as well as the subjective, irreverent, and entertaining (usually) observations. A bit of a let down here though, with incorrect statements on the drivetrain - there are 2 electric motors, not 1. There isn’t ANY cvt - just a fixed low gear and a fixed high gear, with the electric motors supplanting any need for a transmission. Those shifting paddles that you referred to are actually for modulating regen braking. Not sure why you didn’t want to make a better effort on presenting more accurate descriptions. Still love ya though:)
Thanks for that great intel and awesome support!
To be fair, while there are two motor-generators, only one is ever used as a motor for propulsion. The other is a generator, a starter motor, and (if the battery is full) a motor to switch from regen braking to engine braking.
I was comparing the Honda CRV to the Mazda CX-50 when I went to buy a car last month...
It's insane how many features the CRV is missing & it feels incredibly cheap inside with all the plastic.
I tested Toyota, Subaru, Honda, Kia, Hyundai, & the CRV was by far the most underwhelming SUV in this class.
I went with the CX-50. It's nothing short of amazing. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an SUV.
I had the exact opposite experience. I really wanted the CX-50 but was disappointed after test driving and sitting in one. I ended up getting a CR-V Hybrid.
I have tested the CX-50! That kind of test drive feels terrible! The grip of the steering wheel is also terrible. So I gave up CX-50.
The CX50 is so much more attractive.
That's the car I want!!!
The seats in the CX-50 are horrific.
Joe and Lori and Steve and keep up the good work and I love the video 👍
Joe, the real reason why Honda, Toyota stick with a CVT transmission is because it's cheaper than a real automatic transmission. The automatic transmissions nowadays are just as efficient, if not a bit more so, than a CVT.
Yes!!! Plus cvt r unreliable!!!
Raiti. You are one hell of an auto presenter. And that is all I got to say about that!
So no spare tire anymore. Thanks for the informative well done video 👍🏽❤️
You are so very welcome!
Hey Joe, Any idea when the 2024 Honda Passport is coming out?
Love to see a back to back review comparison on rav4 and crv
I really like this channel, thank you very much for such amazing efforts.
I was fortunate enough to have two Uber rides, there and back from the dealer while car was in service; a brand new Tuscon and the new CRV. The CRV definitely has a better interior than the Tuscon, but I still think the Toyota has the edge mainly due to it’s tech and bigger screens. The feel and quality of the CRV was amazing, but wasn’t persuasive enough to make me think the CRV is better than the RAV4.
Oh and I still think it looks ugly, front and rear 😂😂. But I can see why you can make a case for the CRV.
THE CR-V got a better look than the RAV4 cheap effeminate look while Honda got some Volvo and BMW design to it. And what do you mean by the CR-V has better interior than the Tucson. Elaborate that part.
I think the Tucson has a better interior than the CRV. That is why I leased it!
@@darkivaz-aaa1145 to each of their own on the RAV4 vs CRV interior: I think the Honda has a better interior mainly due to 2 things. The amount of gloss black inside the Tuscon, which was overly done in my opinion, and the touch sensitive buttons, which to make it worse, are covered in gloss black. Way too much glare even as a passenger. Otherwise, I think the Tuscon looks a tad bit better than the CRV.
@@FordEnthusiast413 not too bad. Idk to me the glossy black plastic in there is too much for my likings.
I love the look of gloss black until the fingerprints show up.
How is the braking?
Had 3 consecutive crv leases coz I love the design , handling and overall utility. This redesign is more boxy and generic … upgraded myself to an Acura rdx a spec. No regrets ❤️
The past two generations of the CRV were hideous, this one looks way better
youve got to be joking. this new design is miles better. this looks way more attractive than the previous designs
This gen looks way better. Good luck on gas on your new RDX
bit weird that tail light indicators have bulbs in it, the last generation had a full LED strip for its turn signal
Dont worry American fool will buy it
Comments are great. Everyone is an auto expert and a an economist.
Riiight😂
don't mind the flat black on the side fenders, not too much just right. One exhausts is functional and the other isn't is a major zonk. Yes all badging should be black.
Seems like all the manufacturers have their version of this type of gray nowadays. It's a dope color!
You are so very right about that!
Wow a million subscriber this channel dominates the segment real quick
I bought the touring back in Jan 2023.
The only complaint I have is avg mpg. I drive a lot from SoCal to Vegas and I can’t get anything over 34mpg. I know the way you drive affects mpg but even on long highway drives with cruise control activated mpg isn’t where I would’ve expected.
Debating between the CR-V and RAV4 Hybrid. I know you can’t go wrong with either, but tough choice.
RAV4 is shit Toyota is shit
You recognize how good Joe @Raiti's Ride is when you view multiple reviews of the same car. Another fantastic review Joe! Will be going with this Honda BEV over the Toyota. We are upgrading from a 2003 Accord that has served us faithfully. At 80,000, we took that car once to Meineke Car Care Center to fix the air-conditioned.
Looks more refined and upscale than the rav4..
Rav4 is still outdated interior trash
@@yournightmare9999yes even the rav4 2024 is still outdated
@crazygamingyt7245 today toyota and lexus really disappointing.
Best car vlogger ever
finally a nose/hood in a CRV I can fall in love with !... 4:58 looks pretty X1 , X3 rear to me... it actually looks faster than the Rogue... ( still loving the response of our Edge STLine 21, it flies ! )
I like the aggressive look of the front. So many manufacturers can't get the look of the front right but I think they nailed it.
Chilling like a Villian😈
Too many RAV4's out there. I'll take the new CR-V interior and the comfy ride any day.
But there are too many CRV too. Both of then are the top seller in this class
Walked to the dealership to check out this exact car today. (currently driving the 2018 grand cherokee) Loved the idea of getting 40 MPG, loved the exterior. I mean that exterior is absolutely stunning. Same interior as this one. ... Once you get into the drivers seat this infotainment system hits you hard. Its ultra basic, low contrast and just sucks in general. Ive tried convincing myself that maybe i could live with it somehow..... Walked out of the dealership because i just couldnt do it. Once you live with a beautiful high contrast infotainment system (like my uconnect 4c stellantis)- looking at this absolutely hurts your eyes and will make you suffer day after day. The seats are way too hard for longer rides and would make it difficult to enjoy long range trips. If it had those two things done right i would have bought it today, even for a fee. Ill keep looking around and maybe i can get this car with those things improved , but once we start going past 40 k I might as well get something else. The inside is simply dull and makes you not want to be there.
JOE ~ one thing good about Honda's is they drive until they die, ya go to a used car lot & see any Honda & it most likely has over 100,000 miles on it - kinda like Toyota, they're built to last. T-Bird
I like this Honda CRV hybrid, I have a 2016 Pilot and thinking about trading it for one of these.
Thanks for letting me bring it to you!
Thanxxx for your review
But u can advice to me crv 2023 or vw tiguan 2023
Does the new CRV have options for 360 camera and large panoramic sunroof like the new Rav4 and Rouge? Thank you.
Yes it does.
🇺🇸 *OWN a CR-V* !! *LOVE this NEW CR-V Sport* !! *204HP is a good balance* !! *PREFER any CR-V over the RAV4* !! *Personally, I would opt for a GAS engine* !! *FAB content Joe and Steven* !! #RaitisRides 🇺🇸
The Honda CRV hybrid is the best buy you can get from Honda. When I purchased my 2023 Honda CRV everything else on the lot pilot and passport were way overpriced. All I ask before the next generation if they would make this SUV, an inch taller (ceiling), an inch wider (interior), and an inch longer for interior backseat. i'm not Crampton Side, but I think a little bit bigger than every aspect will make this SUVwin all the way around. Oh yeah a bit more HP 220hp. Nice review 👍
Does a spare fit in that bottom spaces?
Great review. I would definitely consider the CR-V Hybrid Sport instead of the Rav4.
Joe I have to tell you that the Passport was based on the Isuzu, not the CR-V.
Awesome video Joe.
2023 Honda CR-V hybrid just got a recall today for improper manufactured eCVT. Honda quality control ain't the same as before.
Who cares
That sounds more like Nissan😮
Not seeing this recall anywhere??
Cvt is garbage transmission
@@Yeabuddy720that's because he made it up. 1. There is no physical eCVT. 2. My Sport Touring did have a recall for a software update... But that was a few months ago.
How is the sound system?
I love this Honda Zu-Zu 🚙 what fascinating is that I have an 7 inch infotainment system too. My girlfriend loves it when she rides and goes on throttle 😁
I have not driven a CR-V or Rav 4, but have been backseat passengers in both several times recently during Uber trips on the same roads. My wife and I eliminated the Rav 4 from consideration for our next vehicle due to those experiences. Rav 4 had an uncomfortable, loud, ride in the back seat, and felt "cheap" compared to the Honda. We have owned both brands in the past, but for us, it was clear between those two models.
I got a 2024 crv SE. it’s awesome to drive and smooth.
We have a 2024 crv hybrid and couldn't be happier!
May I know how much you paid? And what trim is it?
Was this vehicle a 2WD or 4WD? Any difference in road ability between the two drivetrains?
It is 2wd. If u get touring, that is 4wd
I live in a very rainy area and I've never seen anyone use a rear wiper in my whole life
No heated or cooling seats? I never saw the cupholders.
8.5/10 ✅
Soccer mom vibes! 🤔 ⚽️
I like your scoring system Billy!
My cousin bought a 24, not even a month ago. He still has his temp tags on. And guess what? He already sideswiped the car with a pole while backing out of a parking spot at school. :(
He has lowest IQ he definitely should stay away from cars and stay at home only
No charge for the racing stripe
I have been doing a lot of research on which vehicle to buy next. The Honda CRV seems to be one of the running leads in terms of reliability, dependability, overall quality, space and gas milage. That being said does anyone know if the new 2024 models are just as good as the older models and also are there any Honda CRV owners out there that can give me their personal experience with their Honda CRV?
I'm not sure how much this helps, given the age of my car, but I've had NO major problems with my 2012 CR-V. I really like the interior room of the CR-V and it has a very good ride quality, even after 11 years. I don't know whether this is the case for the 2024 models, but it's certainly on my short list.
@@rick-ross how many miles is on yours?
@@michaeljustussvcc About 100,000
THANKS FOR SHARING I HAVE A 2020 HONDA ACCORD -EX I AM THINKING OF GETTING A CR-V I LOVE HONDA BRAND THEY WERE MEANT TO LAST THANKS AGAIN VERY VERY NICE VIDEO ON THE CR-V 👍🏽👍🏽
All good, except that a hybrid RAV4 comes standard with AWD.
I got mine last Feb, Urban Grey Pearl Hybrid Touring, exterior/interior? its so amazing! Im so satisfied. :)
Personally I am a huge fan of the Honda CRV my biggest complaint is Towing capacity
Crv best suv on the planet
It’s not better than my XT4
The front looks soo good, saw one in person, but it was red
This Honda CRV Compared with :
- Toyota RAV4
- Nissan Rogue
- Mazda CX 5
- Hyundai Tucson
- Ford Escape
- Kia Sportage
- Chevrolet Equinox
- Tesla Model Y
- BMW X3
- Audi Q5
- Mercedes GLC
- and More
People really comparing basic economy suv with bmw, Audi and Mercedes?
List is horrible like usual. Mercedes and Audi should not be on this list. Those are luxury compacts
@@chibbyylol Yes
@@mattmekhaeil I Know The CRV Is Compact SUV
@@chibbyylol Have you seen the prices? Top CRV trim is 40k, might as well go 5k higher and get a luxury car.
why not put seats down from the back door? why from rear?
Where is the spare tire if the bottom doesn’t open up?
