i've been very impressed with my Civic, which shares this car's powertrain but has a sportier chassis. However, supply is still an issue (I waited 11 months for mine) and new prices have jumped massively in last year (up 20% in France, where I live).
I agree. Of course the Civic is not an SUV, but it looks better, drives better, has better performance and is decently practical for a hatchback. I looked into buying one when it was first launched last year, but as you say, the wait times were really long and the prices have since gone throug the roof. When I looked at the Civict this time last year, the entry model was £29k, and now it's around £37k!
I bought a top of the range CRV and although the price is higher - its competitors are a lot more and with this model its standard spec offers a hell of a lot more bang for your buck, like all new models the price is high but I have no doubt the prices will come down relative the economy (somebodies got to foot the hotel bills for the dinghy divers 🤬) I definitely recommend this vehicle though and can see me staying with the marque or other Japanese manufacturer as build quality and add ons are better than previous European aspirational cars i’e owned. 👍🏻
I really like this and would seriously consider it. But Honda UK are pricing incorrectly. Closer to Kia and Hyundai, it could sell well. Close to BMW, Audi and Tesla, probably not.
I have a 2003 mk2 CR-V. It’s our first car and love it,but on the downside the cost of road tax (£395) and poor MPG. in 2003 I found out was £15k new so in 20 years the price has increased by £10k in approx every 7 years. That’s a big increase.
@@jdmguy44 It was for Canada and the US but for Europe they were made in Japan. We never got the external facelift that the CR-V received in other markets in 2021 because they didn't facelift it in Japan. The right hand drive Australian car was facelifted because it was made in Thailand.
Well i would not compare it to a Tuscon or a Sportage.They are smaller cars.Yes you can compare it to a RV4.For the money though and if you wanted Japanese,i would chose the Mazda CX 60.
The best Honda CRV ever on the market was the 2000 model. It was totally reliable, spacious, comfortable, economical and had fabulous all round vision plus terrific boot space. Nothing compares in today's market. We still have two and are very reluctant to part with them until another one appears on the market. Come on Honda, you can do it! Today's cars all look the same. They feel cramped, claustrophobic and have bad vision.
The best Honda CRV was the 2000 model. The shape was perfect. Super comfortable seats. Very versatile, fabulous interior and huge boot space. People are just hanging onto them. Please bring back that model with a few extra bells and whistles.🙏🏻🙏🏻❤
Just ordered Cr-V advance Tech plug in hybrid in that colour got £8000 discount with makes it cheaper than a Kia Sportage Gt Line S Plug in Hybrid. The Cr-V is a bigger car as well & Honda now offer a 5 year care package which includes 5 year servicing, 5 year & 5 year Warranty & 5 year roadside assistance. The car is already at the dealership awaiting my collection which will be March for the new registrations
Great review. I owned the CRV 2022 Hybrid and traded it in for the CRV Advance 2024 Full Hybrid. Its the long awaited redesign I was waiting for years. Its really a trouble free comfortable off-road family SUV.
We can get the 1.5T here in Oz and it is expected to outsell the hybrid. The price premium for the hybrid will never be recovered through fuel savings because the 1.5T is actually pretty frugal for a car of its size.
@@pigeonpoo1823 the Honda engines are excellent.. the style of vehicle is subjective but they are well built... I've never owned one but my partner is going to buy a new Civic and I was impressed after a drive - price is too high and the infotainment could be better...
I’ve recently acquired my CRV hybrid and I am very impressed with everything I have experienced so far. I have never encountered a vehicle with so many safety features, I keep finding new functionalities ad in comparison to my previous 5 series bmw - any comparison beyond that would be unfair, such is the difference I suggest.

£46,000......what a joke 🤣Pricing working class people off the road.
The only joke here are comments like yours because I will buy a fully loaded CR-V PHEV anyway.
@@RichardJoashTanI wouldn't buy it yet, I can see a price adjustment coming, otherwise look forward to some epic depreciation.

It’s too expensive and should start at around £37k with £46k the maximum. Otherwise a good package with a reputation for reliability.
Won't be seeing many of these in Europe at the price level Honda has pitched it at, Maybe they don't care 🤷
Not me, I prefer the CR-V PHEV.
Shouldn't a car that's now built in China be cheaper than the previous version that was built in Japan?
I believe that the previous version was assembled in Canada.

My 24 CR-V Sport Touring was built in Ohio. I think that’s in the US
@@eddymahon1503 Yep, well done, this is a UK review though of the Chinese built version for Europe.
@@eddymahon1503I just got my 2024 CR-V Hybrid Sport L and hear a constant rattling noise from front windshield. Do you happen to hear it too?

Could be a bit of a b*stard to park on a Saturday afternoon at Sainsbury's.
60,000 drive away in Australia
Therefore should be around 33,000 pounds. Must have huge UK tax applied
I've just checked the price of the Honda CR-V in the USA,and there seems quite a difference in the price compared to the UK i.e. $29,705 to $45,820.
Same in Australia, it starts from 43k ausi dollars and topping at 59k
US has different trims and you need to add tax
We are used to being ripped off . Why can’t they fit in a space saver tyre ?
Cars in America have always been very cheap, although Americans think they are expensive.
That's mostly because we can buy the 1.5VTi turbo version here, not just the hybrids with their inflated price.
I thought the hybrid was 204 hp. That's what the US version is. The civic has 181 hp in that hybrid configuration
Too much front overhang and way over priced.
Best review and my favourite presenter 👍🏻😊
It’s not the engine you hear that’s a speaker. And for nearly £60k the o ky Honda I’ll be buying for that price is the NSX
Not me, because for the price, I will buy a fully loaded Honda-CR-V Plug-In Hybrid anyway.
Wow, that's very expensive

No 7 seat option is big let down for this car.

But expensive, but you're paying for something that will just work, and last forever. Also, no options, which is great.
If theres a 1.5 turbo available? Will the european customers buy 1.5turbo rather than the hybrids? Or Would you just take the ehev hybrids?

A car that size and no spare tyre .
Is it? Is it though?
The price🤯
Warranty is very poor....
Last time I got excited about Honda was the S2000 from 1999. They are good well built and reliable cars for sure but just boring.
Try the Civic type R... Even the normal Civic is an excellent drive..
O come on now. They've done some great lawnmowers over the years

and rust buckets as well.
Maybe you'd be better getting a really exciting 1.0 Tsi Golf 🤣
