Honda CR-V Off road test drive. Is Honda CR V good for off road ? Can You go offroading with a cheap SUV ? #thebest4x4channel Subscribe , Like , Comment for more
What I like about this video is that it shows that for an average off road incursion a crv is more than enough! No X5, land rover ( Defender, range), probably not even the king of them all, the land cruiser! For just having fun, the crv serves the purpose more than enough and even if something bends or breaks, cheaper to fix. In fairness that's what honda thought when creating the crv: practical comfortable and with the necessary 4x4 capability for the average person to have fun. Cheers everyone!
I agree ! The CRV is really surprising. I have one and I used it in many situation. It never deceived me. It stick closer to the path, never slide, even in 7 inch of mud ! My best car ever, I love it !
I drive my 4 wheel drive 2002 Honda CRV, that I bought new, all over my 100 acre ranch. The traction is amazing. It still drives like new with 190,000 miles on it. Except for the catalytic converter and an axle seal, nothing had ever broke or needed repair. I thought I was crazy using it in rough terrain until I saw this video.
I am impressed with the CRV! I did not expected it to pass those tests! The driver pushed it hard! I own a Pathfinder and its decent but keeps on breaking on me. I need a smaller/reliable/capable/family SUV. A lifted 2006 CRV might just do the trick!
Have the diesel one now, had the petrol. Far more capable than most give them credit for with a decent set of tyres. I've done one trail in the petrol one and it climbed out of a deeper water filled gully than the pajero that was with us.
crv's will take you anywhere :D i have one exactly like this one and i've been driving it since i was little, you can learn so much in this beauty! this is the car i learned how to drive a manual in :DD
The problem with the CRV is that the 4wd it s build based on the front wheels and you need to get into higher rpm s to engage it. As we can see in this video , yeh you can go throgh stuff but you really need to get on it and eventualy it is going to break (not the engine but the suspension etc ). I mean for what it is it s an awesome car ! (I have a 2004 4x4 one) but dont buy this and expect to go with your Jeep and Land Cruiser friends on the trails .
I'm the proud owner of a 1st get RD1 with a lowly b20, at least it's a 5speed awd. Love the 2nd gen with the K series tho, I'll pick one up someday when i scrap out my RD1 but until then, my CR-V continues to impress me.
What do you think about 2004 Honda cr v 100000 for$2100 or A 2013 rav4 and le with 40000miles for$3900 or1997 Honda crv 4wd 149,000 $2850 or 2005 Toyota matrix for $4500
I justfinished reading a professinal review that says it's great for snowy and icy roads, but gets wobbly-kneed on anything more than a gravel road. LOL
@@mikecurtis889 it actually has AWD or at least one of those AWD systems that sends power to the rear when needed. It says "real-timeAWD" on the rear window.
@@urusledge Yes. I know it's has some form of AWD. I was observing that a small, nimble suv with good tires and adequate ground clearance can go many places. I was in fact agreeing with you. 👍
Is this crv stock or tuned? Auto or manuel? Awd or 4wd? Im thinking on getting one but manuel not auto. Anyone have any good feedback on manuel vs auto transmission?
Is that the 2-stroke version?!! Mine does not sound like that! But awesome to see you putting it through the gauntlet. Gives me far more confidence I can keep mine a while longer and don’t need to upgrade to a full 4WD yet.
Машина хорошая в плане семейного ну типа на пикник в сухую погоду. Это не джип так что для неё это уже подвиг. Сам катаюсь на такой из всех поколений на мой взгляд эта самая лучшая.
What kind of 4wd does this older version CR-V have? Trying to figure out if its visco = Most likely broken if i find an cheap older one today. Or how does it work?
The crv is front wheel drive until the front wheels start to slip, it will then engage the clutchpacks for the rear diff and allow it to send up to 50 percent of the power to the rear wheels. It only has open diffs. It is rather fast to auto engage though.
@@dahotrod1533 SOmething i have not read is that it breaks... which u can read on about other cars. Weird. Honda built it better i guess. Im looking into an 2002 CR-V and it seems really good. Do u know if the version from 2007-2012 has the same?
Your car has 166 horsepower and weighs 3501 pounds 3501 * 166 = 21.01 (best ratio, lower is better) Minimum ground clearance of 7.3 inches The 1999 car (my car) has 146 horsepower and weighs 3126 pounds 3126 * 146 = 21.41 Minimum ground clearance of 8.1 inches The 2001 model in the video has the same specifications as my car except SLIGHTLY heavier at 3210 pounds. 3210 * 146 - 21.98 Minimum ground clearance of 8.1 inches Here is what my car can do (not my video): ruclips.net/video/LqRVGmsDBQs/видео.html Here is a video of the same car (my video): ruclips.net/video/_Ma4wyts0XY/видео.html Judging by the similarities, I'd say your car would just be like driving mine but with two passengers in it and a tad lower to the ground. I'd say just be easy on your car and get to know it in this way before you go pushing it hard. Please don't go and put your car or yourself at risk.
@@inexternalrecords Thank you so much, great info! Think I'll try it on some off-road dirt first, and then get into the other stuff, and with some sort of backup : )
@Peter Alexander We've had our 2005 2.2 i-cdti manual for around a year now and i love it ! Gonna keep it till it dies ☺. 163,000 and still going strong. Love this video, it gives me more confidence in our CRV 👌
The best 4x4 by far is the one that you don't care, the one that you have written off from the very beginning !

Yup and CRV is very similar to RDX
I agree ! The CRV is really surprising. I have one and I used it in many situation. It never deceived me. It stick closer to the path, never slide, even in 7 inch of mud ! My best car ever, I love it !
This is by far the best mk2 crv video on youtube, keep it up mate. Respect
This guy wheels harder than most of my friends in built 4runners and tacos😂😂😂
When the apocalypse comes, I've got a picnic table ! 💪🤣
I’m missing mine haha
Seriously I can think this car and Camry will be seen on apocalypse roads. Because they will never die haha

Hi I have a 2006 CRV diesel if your interested can put you in contact with a guy who makes the lift kits location UK
@@oweston89 hi buddy can you let me know the contact details for the lift kits ? Cheers
Its like your trying to break that crv but can't
Браво колега ! Тук се вижда приказката , че най-проходимият джип е прежаленият !
🤣 this dudes answer to every obstacle is just "full send it" and it works! Hahaha. Picking one of these up this weekend i cant wait
Have fun!
This should have been the advert for Honda I would have bought one.
I have owned my 2nd gen CR-V for nearly 18 years and its an AAA++++ car, but this kind of off roading will break it.
I've one of the fans of the toughness of HONDA👏👏
My CRV goes anywhere I need it to. Nothing crazy. Great in the snow on unpaved mountain roads no chains. 🤷♂️
Have the diesel one now, had the petrol. Far more capable than most give them credit for with a decent set of tyres. I've done one trail in the petrol one and it climbed out of a deeper water filled gully than the pajero that was with us.
I am also interested in which one you preferred and why
They made a diesel crv??
crv's will take you anywhere :D i have one exactly like this one and i've been driving it since i was little, you can learn so much in this beauty! this is the car i learned how to drive a manual in :DD
Fantastic CRV great test drive off road… cool video
1. That song 🎵 plus 4wheeling 💯
2. It's the driver not the vehicle. I've seen many a simple setup beat high dollar rides.
Clearly a Honda driver has too much adrenaline.
They all do lol
The problem with the CRV is that the 4wd it s build based on the front wheels and you need to get into higher rpm s to engage it.

I watch this guy and buy my own cr-v xD great job my friend :D
How is it, Im kinda sold on it by this video haha.
Great driving skills. Proves it can take you off the beaten path.

I still driving this 2nd gen crv . 18 yrs. Dohc ivtec 8500 rpm . K20a is the best 👍
I didn’t know the CRV do this off road…. I am using my on the city of Boston… cool video … Go Honda go.
Mantap sekali CRV Hard offroad ya...tahun berapa mobil ini
Damn you boys really sent it.
Nature is so calm and serene
K24: BRAAAAAP
nice video. what tyres are you running? I am currently either a genuine crv or gen 1 hrv for a bit of cheap green laning
This car is far more capable than many think. I wonder where this is? It looks so similar to Appalachia.
yes! this ain't a cheap suv, but it's a reliable one, fully utilised!
What do you think about 2004 Honda cr v 100000 for$2100 or
A 2013 rav4 and le with 40000miles for$3900 or1997 Honda crv 4wd 149,000 $2850 or 2005 Toyota matrix for $4500
Girl where ? Here in cali most Honda CR-V 2004 go for $5,000 at least and with 140,000 plus miles
👍hail CR-V! by Honda Motors 😁
damn crvs are so sick
Was the CRV Realy ment for this? Most never ever come off the Road! But it is a really brilliant family car
@Peter Alexander I’m sure you’re right Peter yeah it is a sub and most are good in the snow
I justfinished reading a professinal review that says it's great for snowy and icy roads, but gets wobbly-kneed on anything more than a gravel road. LOL
I literally just read the same "wobbly knee" review. Front wheel drive with good tires and a smart guy behind the wheel. Great video!

stock , auto , 4wd
Thanks for the quick reply bro.
check my channel and yea , get USA market CRV cause they got 2.4 vtec engine which is most powerful engine
Mine is 2005 AWD auto. 2.5 v tech says it's made in U.K.
Excellent crv
Whats the pressure of the tyres? with passengers and heavy?
I just bought a Nissan X trail 2.5L 2004...
This dude has me rolling!! FULL SEND! LOL!!!
Que fierro la honda srv gente😍😍🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🚚🚚🚚🏎️🏎️🏎️
Definitely needs some nitto terra grapplers. So much potential 😍
Nice, but put a muffler on it bud.
Honda oi

Power of the v-tech
Is this with the vsa on or off?

Nope the CRV's doesn't have any 2-stroke version of them. I think he just change the header pipe or the muffler tip with the aftermarket ones.
@stubbk3 that's what im thinking too
a very capable 4x4
Where was this filmed
How did u get it to sound like that I took one muffler off and its not that loud lol
is it stock?
Woww..well done crv...💪💪💪
What intake system are you running
What is wrong with your exhaust?
Is it a real awd or it has an upgradable diff?
it is stock
Crv or grand Vitara?
Impressive
The little Engine that could
How did they lock the rear to engage sooner??
It is automatic lock
maybe after installing fresh new all terrain tires it will perform adequately! great car though.
NICE! , though please fix the exhaust. it sounds terrible.
I love my CRV
Скоро я гледах някъде да се продава на части :)

Can my '07 do that? Has AWD
Your car has 166 horsepower and weighs 3501 pounds
3501 * 166 = 21.01 (best ratio, lower is better)
Minimum ground clearance of 7.3 inches
The 1999 car (my car) has 146 horsepower and weighs 3126 pounds
3126 * 146 = 21.41
Minimum ground clearance of 8.1 inches
The 2001 model in the video has the same specifications as my car except SLIGHTLY heavier at 3210 pounds.
3210 * 146 - 21.98

Il est trop top ce Honda ! Super attachant !
It’s like the Crv is with his big brothers lol
Just shows how good this Honda is... CR V's are well build especially this generation.
But it needs a muffler, it's sounds stupid!!
когда не жалко, то можно и так по задуряться)
Either you send it or you don't. Commitment is 80% of offroad
Hell yeah beat that shit man. Omg I dying beating the shit out of it.. I always wanted to mine to this way, but was way to scared...
It's a real Japanese car.
