That's interesting, I too own the hybrid RS and average between 5.2 to 5.5 urban. For context, also own a current rav4 hybrid and average 4.9 to 5.1. I am generally light with my throttle use & run both vehicles on 95 pulp.
Me and my family of 4 are about to get the X7 version. $46,800 drive away is nice and affordable. To all the people rocking with 2x 0-4 forward facing car seats and want to know how it is. We went and tested the car and with isofix you can still have amazing access to 3rd row. My 5ft wife cannot fit inbetween unless she sits slightly in front but the entire 2nd row can be shifted forward to allow my 5ft7 self in the 3rd comfy enough for a 3hr or more journey. It was a big deal to get access to 3rd row without removing car seat for when grandparents visit and there aren't any other options in this price range.
Well done, very well thought out and put together review touching on those finer details others either don’t know or neglect to mention. Detail is important when dropping $50k plus on a car in my opinion.
It's nice to see the nationwide pricing finally delivering value to consumers. Pity the dealer network was royally screwed in the whole 'agency' model transition. Meaning quite a drive for servicing in some areas.
Test drove the hybrid and loved it. However found the upturns on the edges of the driver’s seat uncomfortable as the pressed into my body. Any comments or suggestions to remedy? Cheers
Only two,problems , firstly CVT transmission and secondly the price . Other than that , I like it too . Would I buy one? A VTI LX AWD for $57 K ? I don’t think so, not at that price .
How would this 1.5T 185 BHP engine pull a loaded car with 7 passengers of all sizes? Seems very under-powered to me. For a small family or a couple it can be 'okay'.
Shifter does not determine the type of gearbox used. It's just the style choice chosen by Honda in different world regions. A traditional CVT fitted to all petrol crv models. eCVT fitted to hybrid only.
@@nipunrocksterjust because the interior doesn't look premium, it is definitely better built than the Nissans. Also the Honda's minimilist design will age much better than the Nissan's. Have a look at Nissan interiors of the 2000's and Honda's of the same age. Lol.
I bought the hybrid this year :D I love it. Urban driving range on mine is at 6.6L/100km. I did see 5.5L/100km when driving on freeways~

My Wife has the RS and she will get 5.5L/100km around the city, but that will go to 6.2L/100 when on a longer country drive … great car though
Bought this car two months ago the same as the one in the video Vti L7
The fuel consumption is between 7-7.5L/ 100 Km really great car .

Great redesign. I'd choose this over the Renault Outlander/X-Trail.

Excellent presenter. Very knowledgeable and a great communicator. Impressed, set a high standard for others to follow. Thank you.
Wish he didn’t sound so robotic when he talks though
You are good 👍 Thank you for the insightful review 😇
Good of you to put in the value choice and your own pick
3rd row air vents would be a deal maker for some. Sad that the 7-seater doesn’t come with AWD.
Is the 1.5 turbo powerful enough?
My biggest gripe with this car here in NZ is the lack of blind spot monitor and 360 cam. At 68k NZD but missing two very important basic safety tech.

Great review.
It fails the rear passenger crash test by IIHS. Seat belt buckle comes off.
Great car all round. Though my key criteria is can it reasonably fit 2 mountain bikes at the back while carrying 2 people.
There is no side airbag for rear. Only certain.

Missing 360 camera and infotainment is not so modern … especially display is small. Otherwise this car is gem 💎 for that price
i hear it is very noisy, on the highway?
For 7 seater version ideal fit 5 adults + 2 kids

I think I prefer the Aussie version with the CVT auto shifter, the UK version comes with a push button eCVT .

eCVT fitted to hybrid only.
Cool cheers thanks for that info still prefer the shifter to the push button.
are you related to martin place?
Just wondering how many points you lose for parking over double white lines. lol.
CarExpert: new Ford Ranger is better
Honda, the only company that are too cheap to combine RCTA with Honda Sensing
Interior doesn't look premium compared to Nissan Xtrail/QASHQAI.
But this is way better than any nissan lol
@@deshanmk6How so?

0-100 in 9.9 seconds .... so not particularly quick.
>>$50k!!
53k where? Honda doesn't do drive away prices at any dealership..
Incorrect.
All Honda vehicles at all Honda dealerships since the agency shift are now priced 'drive away'.
Yes good for families hiding from law enforcement
Honda no thanks
