    The number on each key (1 & 2) is for different drivers. Whichever key unlocks the car will adjust the seats to the allocated driver (1 or 2).

    2018 CRV owner here. Nice review as always Paul, however I did notice that you had "eco" on, from the green "plant" being displayed in the instrument cluster in the review. That for sure dulls the throttle and makes it seem a bit sluggish even though you can slot the drive mode into "S"

    • @wc5741
      @wc5741 Год назад +5

      Agree. Eco mode slows everything down but it won’t save much fuel. I drove 2019 CRV for four years and I found the 1.5T is just sufficient for 5-seater if ECO is off and fill it with RON98. It’s a shame that now the car is bigger and with 7 passengers onboard Honda still fits a 1.5T engine in it. It’ll be underpowered and sluggish all the time

      Same here, the Econ mode dulls the throttle and you need to use more fuel to compensate for the power. Take the economy mode off and you will average 8L/100km.

    I have the 5th gen sport 7 seat crv for the past 4 years, averaging 7 litres/100 k's mainly city driving, No issues in passing lanes on the highway with the 1.5 litre turbo. We have travelled whole of NZ North Island in it including plenty of camping trips with 4 people and a full boot, it has plenty of grunt when you need it, obviously it's not a race car and no one is buying it for that purpose anyways. I have filled it up with 6 adults many times and gone to Paihia and back, again no problem with passing lanes even when going uphill. I had the 3rd gen CRV before this one so I am truly a Honda fan. Have booked in the 6th gen crv for delivery next year. I love the way it drives and handles, interior is premium and it has good after sale value.
    I wanted to buy the hybrid AWD but it's not launched in NZ yet so getting the gas AWD.

    If I'm not mistaken, that's the old Holden proving ground at Lang Lang. It has been a decade or so since I was last there. Seeing the place brings back some good memories of testing vehicles to find and fix problems while I was an engineer with Holden. The ride and handling road was always my favourite test road, though the gravel roads past the sealed road area were a bit of fun too.

    Hey Paul, nice review. Can see you had the eco mode on when u start to drive. The car is slightly sluggish on eco mode and gets peppier when you turn it off. It’s made to save fuel which in my testing was not that effective so might wanna turn it off and check the drive. Thx

    Good review, thank you. I sat in one last weekend, only funny thing is when you sit sideway to get in or out of the front seat, the bucket edge of the seat is very high and hard, feels funny. I also sometimes tend to sit sideway with the door opened when waiting for something, that front seat is really sharp! No issue when sitting in driving position.

    I think Honda are pretty underrated. I'm not sure on the exact sales numbers but I rarely see any CRV's around. That being said, I wish they were a bit cheaper lol. This goes for all major brands though. Feels like almost all new cars cost way more that they should, considering you could get a brand-new mid/large SUV for 20-30k just a couple years ago, and now they all start at 40k+ for the base model.

      It does not reduce power it just softens the sharpness of the gas pedal and cuts the AC power reducing it to 60% capacity it for city driving but it does not cut power, 0-100 in eco would be the same with it off if you plant the pedal down.

    I test drove the 5 seater AWD top of the range petrol model. Really impressed with the features and everything the car has except for the power. It's not sluggish by any mean, but it clearly felt underpowered. But then again for general non-maniacal driving, I think it's fine. The power delivery feels like my 1st gen 103kw Tiguan diesel.

  • @ozspencers
    @ozspencers 7 месяцев назад +1

    I almost never buy anything other than the base spec of any car. This is because (1) I find higher spec grades rarely offer value for money and (2) some of the so-called 'upgrades' I actually don't like, such as leather seats (hot, hot, hot!) and larger wheels (more expensive tyres). So I find it a little irritating that reviewers almost always choose (or are given) the highest spec variant to test or, more recently, always the hybrid version.Consequently, when perusing brochures and images, I have to ignore most of it because the info applies only to the variant most people WON'T buy.

    It's missing a few features which I believe should've been included for the prices in comparison to its competitors, but the drive is actually really smooth and good torque with the hybrid engine.
    Among all the other mid-SUVs, I feel this is the most mature looking one apart from the CX-60 which is quite a bit more expensive.

    • @wc5741
      @wc5741 Год назад

      1.5T is so underpowered, especially for 7-seater. I drove the 2019 CRV for 4 years. To get sufficient torque I need to make sure ECO mode is off and fill the car with RON98. And occasionally switch it to S mode to keep the gear low to let the car rev up. Now the new car is bigger, good luck with 7 passengers onboard

    I agree that this is a handsome car, and the interior looks attractive in a semi-minimalist way. Getting colour into a car interior in my experience is often met with, "I'll go with black because it doesn't get dirty so quickly." Umm... it accumulates sweat, dirt, and skin cells just as fast as any other colour choice. In any event, this isn't for me, particularly in front-wheel drive mode, and I'd be curious to see if the AWD version fares any better off-pavement than the previous model. If the right-hand side passenger seat doesn't slide and tilt for access to the rear row, then a centre-mounted child seat in the middle row will prove a real fiddle with that high-mounted tether point. I feel that 41+ metres stopping (unladen) is rather poor (and hearing the ABS cycle on and off from a relatively high speed makes me wonder what wet-road performance is like) and I'd reject the car on that alone.

    Current 2018 crv LX AWD owner upgrading on Tuesday to the VTI-L AWD. The stretch for the LX for a few niceties wasn’t worth the extra $. The 1.5 cvt turbo has been awesome for 2 adults 1 growing teen, dog and plenty of bags for some great family get always. Definitely no lack of power when booting it but the CVT was overly noisy. Seems the new model CVT is hopefully slightly quieter from my test drive experience. Unless you have driven one stop the knocking the power train! Otherwise buy a Ferrari! The big disappointment is Honda Aust cutting options coming from the same Thai factory sold overseas - blind spot camera, 360 deg, auto speed locking doors and mirrors that auto fold in park. And a nicer rear end here only found on the LX and above. All to save a few bucks which means safety for the passengers isn’t their full priority. Otherwise the specs, overall drive and bang for buck fits my growing family perfectly for another 5 years.

    I considered the crv, but that driver seat is the worst. Those bolsters on the seat squab really dig into your butt and thighs, and I was feeling them 30mins after a 10min test drive. No reviewers mention this even with a taller and bigger person. Real shame coz the car was really nice otherwise

      How would it compare to a Kluger?😢😢😢

      @Hyp3xz not sure we were looking at more rav4 size rather than kluger. The rav4 was ok but huge wait (18 months)

    That back is definitely from Volvo. Interior is dark, dingy and uninteresting. Overall, a major improvement over all their previous gens

    All their cars look nice. Like how they don’t have fake headlight designs like with Hyundai.

    You wouldn't think this is the same company that produced the Accord Euro 20 plus years ago. What the hell happened to them ? 😊

    I like this guy. Dont no why they call these an SUV.
    They look very car like.
    Nothing like a Cherokee, Escape or Rav 4.😢
