I really like what Honda has done with the new CRV hybrid. I like there is a driveshaft connecting the rear wheels as many systems only have a small traction motor in the rear. I bet that if there was a PHEV version that the driveshaft would have to go away to make room for a much larger battery pack or the cargo space would turn into a joke.
There is a PHEV now on sale in Europe and you are correct, it is FWD only. Not great but at least it has a bit more cargo space as they moved the battery under the rear seats.
I don’t think Honda has an air filter for the battery fan unfortunately. Toyota does have those but not Honda. CarCareNut mentioned this. Hopefully it doesn’t cause any issues down the line like it did for Toyota when they didn’t have filters in the early days, at least that’s what AMD claimed.
They've been out for 20 plus years and have shown to be more reliable and longer lasting than conventional ICE vehicles. How much longer do we need to wait for your idea?
Stop making us look bad. EVs are interesting. And seeing how Hybrid drivetrains work off each other is also interesting. As EVs get more efficient power delivery in smaller packages, we will see hybrids benefit from the same innovation. Same with battery tech.
These are not Ev, these are hybrids. Old Toyota Prius had nickel coated batteries which lasted 20 plus years. These new hybrid power trains will last the same. The k20 engine is Super reliable. Now if you put in a turbo now your talking long term reliability issues
@@ploppercon if you can share. What's your thoughts on Honda's clutch packs? While I saw the value in the mechanical linkage that Toyota uses, I can't help but think reliability between the two systems is ...overstated and both are fine for their use case.
Learned something. No belts
thanks
I got 46 mpg on my first tank driving in Las Vegas streets
Same
Las vegas is very flat so yeah
Honda should do this powertrain in Odeyssy and Pilot, may be use a 2.5 Ltr ICE
Its coming to the Passport next year.
@@jacobpetersen5662A hybrid passport?
very informative
Nice commentary!

@@joaopinho2361Thank you so much João!
No mention of how the AWD work
Is there a hybrid battery intake filter in the 2024 crv hybrid sport l model.
thank you
Good question - one for the owners manual.
I believe so hmmm

What about transmission fill
The hybrid does not have a transmission or fluid
Is there a starter?
Not a conventional one, no.
There are two electric motors. One of them starts the car.
Wait couple of years and then you'll understand how crap these ev's are.

lol ive worked for honda for years and the new hybrids have significantly fewer problems than the normal ones.
