(2023 1.5T) Haha, “as enthusiasts you get more positive feedback from shifting your different transmission settings…”. Except it’s a CVT transmission. It doesn’t have “gears”.
Guys Honda markets it as a CVT but you should know it’s not. It’s an electronic coupling device. It runs in serial hybrid until the vehicle is moving fast enough to couple the engine, around 45mph, then is in a locked ratio. It might sound like a CVT at lower speeds because the engine will run at whatever rpm is needed to produce the electricity from motor 1 to power motor 2. Alex on autos had a fantastic video on how this car actually works. I love you guys and have been watching since the beginning but dang, gotta stop just regurgitating the marking materials.
Just bought a 2023 EX. My first gas fillup showed i got 31.5 mpg. And that was almost no highway. I'm 6'5" and I'm comfortable. Lots of room. Drives beautifully.
The pocket behind the passenger seat is the only one the driver can reach. And these pockets used to be called “map” pockets. I think this is why some cars still have only one behind the front passenger seat.
My mother-in-law bought the '22 hybrid and one of the big selling features was the push button gear selector. In her late-70s and with arthritis, it was far easier for her to operate.
TFL always amaze me with their one shot presentation. Fluent speakings and smooth handling to surprising events are great examples of group presentations.
For TFL: pls show us spare tire configs during these walkarounds For Honda: thanks for the real shifter. A bit more clearance, a trim with improved angles and basic skis would go a long way for those using these for offroad purposes.
I like the old CRV more. Just not a fan of the push button shifter though. Not a fan of the INFO screens dropped on top of the dash in any cars. Plus, the vent knobs and open slots will be a future problem because people think they are toys.
The new CR-V looks good inside and out. I am glad to see they have made some improvements with the hybrid system and greater range of reclining rear seats. I wish that they would have added a panoramic sunroof for the two upper trims for the price. Honda offers the panoramic sunroof on the new CR-V in other markets. I still like to see Honda improve the hybrid system for added fuel mileage and power. Also adding another engine option, possibly from the Acura line. Why cheap out on the little things like rear driver seat storage pocket and rear charging ports on the lower trims? My kids would appreciate it. I feel that Honda did a good with the new CR-V but can still do better considering the competition. Good job on the video!
The previous generation is very spacious and is a major reason we bought it. At 6'-3" I comfortably fit in either the front or rear seats with plenty of leg and headroom. I will keep the 1mpg extra gas millage as well. The newer model gas nicer styling and electronics. However feel Honda missed the boat on not offering new engine features in the USA - particularly PHEV which they offer on the CR-V in Europe. Still you can't go wrong with any Honda.
To be fair regarding the infotainment (in my 2017 at least) the GPS is Garmin, which honestly was a welcome interface for an OEM to use, versus some of the other vehicles with their homemade GPS. It pushed me to go for the EX-L with Navi! But otherwise you guys are right about the remaining infotainment showing it's age.
I’ve got a 2018 EX without navigation but with Apple car play and I use Waze. I think it looks and functions great that way, and I don’t need to worry about updating the maps and spending money for that. With Apple car play and android auto, there’s really no need to pay extra for navigation. But that’s just my opinion. I do love my CR-V but am a little envious of the new model. And, mine being a 2018, I actually have a shifter and not the push button selector.
A new replacement Hybrid Battery cost $4400 and the Module that controls it cost $2500. Warranties covers it for 60k miles. When you need replacement there goes your gas savings. Keep it simple folks
That's not true...Honda battery warranty is 10 years and 100K miles. It's really easy for someone else to justify one's savings, but if it's not your vehicle, who cares 🤔🤔🤔. Especially after these post Covid fuel prices. That's why Teslas are flying off the lots.
I just spec the EX-L, because I didn’t want the hybrid but like the looks of the hybrid model, with the black alloy rims and the lower trim and it looks so good😮
Downgraded by removing 4 way lumbar and fog lights. Also the rear seats no longer lay completely flat like they used to. Honda drastically cut production of the LX trim in early 2021 when I used to sell Honda products. The dash/instrument cluster on the 2023 is the same as on the 10th gen Accord.
Got 24 Lx model. Not crazy about the 1.5 turbo but that's how it's made, so ? Time will tell. But, getting good gas mileage (34 around town). Better than advertised. But just me & how i drive.. No oil dilution, YET . I'm in the South. No mark up's by dealer. Good driving experience and visibility. Nice brakes , comfy seats. Smooth excelleration, comfortable ride, takes bumps well. I do use " Top teir" gas at 87 octane. Plan on oil changes at 3000-5000 miles to keep pistons & engine cleaner. Other than that, nothing else to report. So far it's doing fine.
Thanks for your fun movie. I am an owner of the 5th generation CR-V hybrid. Production and sales of CR-V will end this year in Japan. It is disappointing that I cannot see the 6th generation CR-V in Japan.
It's so annoying that the advertisement and words from your sponsors are a louder volume level than the content. I have been a regular viewer for several years now and really do enjoy the show.
I like watching your videos but when giving your opinions don’t sound like you’re mocking the older generation. The push button transmissions are great for older folks who might have arthritis or other disabilities. In a CR-V group I follow people are pointing out the fact that the new generation lacks style and that it copies other vehicles like Mazda and the rear lights look like Volvo taillights. The interior is the only thing people like. The CVT isn’t like other CVTs and you make it sound like its a bad thing. I won’t explain here what makes the Honda ECVT special but I would encourage anyone interested in the hybrid to look it up on UA-cam. There’s more to talk about these hybrids, like how gas versions are getting better MPGs than the hybrids, etc etc.
To be fair, the clowns that run this channel are just that: clowns. They have NO clue about anything automotive and just bullshit for entertainment value. There are FAR more knowledgeable reviewers out there.
You did not mention anything about the Sport Mode on any of the Hybrid models..... The performance benefits that Sport Mode gives the 5th Gen Hybrid models makes the CR-V a totally different vehicle. The way the CR-V behaves on Sport Mode is impressive. That comparison beats a tailgate drag race anytime.
My '21 Hybrid CRV is my baby! They don't know what they are talking about with Regen shifters. I use them all the time and recharge my car way more and hardly ever touch the brakes to stop... Also they are wrong about the CVT transmission hybrid 5th gen is not a true CVT. It has the best setup imoho!
As an owner of a low mileage 20 EX model I would hard pressed to get the 23 especially with the current pricing structure that is taking place. I suspect MSRP plus a couple of gran. I was able to get close to 4k off my 20. As far as looks- Nice but generic like the new Pilot. TFL- your trying to hard to sell the new one. I do like the sport touring but at 40k plus markup I would be looking at a nx350h
Honda doesn't sell cars to rental fleets, but Honda dealers do 😆 No direct fleet sales from American Honda doesn't mean that rental companies don't purchase Honda. There are many of Accords, CR-Vs and Civics on rental lots.
@@J-W.- Not where I usually rent (NYC). I have rented different Accords (Hybrid, 2.0T Sport, 1.5T EX-L, 2.0T Touring), CR-V Hybrid. I have also seen countless Accords Sport, various Pilots, Passports, HR-Vs, Ridgelines, new Civics, pretty much every single model. Some of them well equipped, or even top trims. And that's at one location only - National/Enterprise at LaGuardia Airport.
When you (Roman) checked the back seat legroom in the new one, you didn't first sit up front and change the recline to more upright. So I couldn't tell which one had more 2nd row legroom - in fact it looked like the new one had less, but that may have been because of what I said in the first sentence.
I prefer the push button to the traditional shifter. I have both and the traditional shifter in gas powered turbo cr-v is much more clunky than the push button in the hybrid. Maybe the 2023 shifter will be better than either in the 2022.
I've owned a 5th gen, they're really not off roaders at all. Underbody is really exposed, bumpers don't have good clearances, not much sidewall due to wheel size, and the AWD system really craps out once you start losing traction on individual wheels. They're pretty much only good for gravel, rain, and snow.
Not really a head scratcher if you think about it. The new CR-V is quite a bit bigger than the outgoing model - that means more weight, yes? Therefore (one) less MPG
So i heard that this 2023 crv not cvt, but in general is this worth of purchase for bot so much off road terrain? Im asking in terms or reliability in general compare to regular gas one? If anyone coming from gas and just shifted to hybrid, please share your thought regarding long term use?
i'll let all the early adopters pay the 5-10k markups. Not only will they pay more $$$, they'll also help honda work out the inevitable new model issues. Thanks guys.
The problem with these being so popular, is that Honda will not be motivated to produce that Plug In Hybrid Pilot which every family dealing with short runs to school, work, the store, and home could really use.
One of the competition subject can be rear door materyal. Is it metal or plastic? Small rear touches don't leave hard repairable dent memories on plastic surfaces but on metals.
These guys fail to mention no fog lights on the 2023 model and no rear USB ports for the 2023 EX model and 2023 has no led turn signal lights. The 2022 EX has two rear USB ports, led rear signal lights, and fog lights.
Yes, a lit of buyers don't take the replacement cost of those batteries into account when they purchase the vehicle. Big surprise when it comes time for that !!
I actually don’t like the fact that the crv trim determines the engine type. Why not just make them all hybrid at this point and simplify the lineup, while boosting average mpgs.
Hybrids dont tow well and performance still matters to some of us...... So the turbo is still a better option i just wish they had a type R version .....316hp and AWD come on honda you know you can do it and while your at it make a smaller pickup with this same setup.....ill take one for me and one for the wife please.
@@nazspeed1 The hybrid has better performance with more HP and FAR more torque. Plus electric torque is delivered at 100% at all times, while gasoline is on a curve. Towing is the only issue, but no one tows anything in this class of car.
Honda manipulates the trunk volume numbers. The trunk cover is very height. I don’t even have a trunk cover in my Forester so this is useless measurement for my use case. Because the trunk window is relatively small, the rear visibility is lower in comparison to some other in the segment. Will, I generally like Honda and the product is good
If you're in southwest BC, definitely not enough for our FSRs. Maybe the super popular easy ones. But older/less popular ones and especially branches/spurs... Nah not a chance. Too many big cross ditches
@@tarfeef101 I'm in Washington state so the target use is mainly Cascade Mountains forest service roads. Our old Outback has about 7.5 inches clearance which has gotten us almost everywhere we've wanted to go around here, even on some very rough roads. I would hope the CRV has at least that much ground clearance. More would be better of course.
The Honda dealer where I live just does not have any inventory. I will not buy unless I can drive the vehical first. With all the labor and supply issues I still worry about build quality so will hang on to my 2016 Accord that gets 31mpg city.
How are push button transmission clunky lol. What about other buttons on the car 🤷. I like push button transmission and have no problems with them. I just don't like any type of shaft sticking out and getting in the way.
Its Ironic that we here in the Philippines, that exact 2022 Honda CR-V is a 7-Seater CR-V. Same everything but with a 3rd row. 3rd row is cramped as usual and we do not have the Hybrid Touring variant.. Top of the line trim here is called SX. i was about to get one with the same Red paint but they gave it to somebody. so back to the waiting list.
They said it. The old model is better than the new. The looks and fuel efficiency are better. What a shame. Looking forward to the update in 2-3yrs time
In terms of the TomTom comment, what I've noticed, is the Honda navigation looks an awfully lot like my friend's Garmin system. So I wouldn't be surprised if Honda uses Garmin's setup in their cars.
There's no real CVT on the Honda hybrids but something Honda calls "eCVT". Simplified explanation, it is mainly driving in EV mode (engine as charger only) at lower speeds and for final drive a fixed gear engine. Because of the wide power/torque range of electric motors, a transmission is not required. So no real CVT with belts and pullies.
9:34 power liftgates are dumb. I can still open it faster with my manual lift. Until these power liftgates are voice activated and 3x faster, I don't like them
I wish Honda would offer a more sporty 2L turbo in the CR-V! Have a top model with the Acura RDX drivetrain. The CR-V is a great size but I want more power!!
@@Tallnerdyguy If only Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura, or Mazda, made a cool sports wagon that's not small. I would love a BMW X3 or Audi Q5 but expensive maintenance and questionable reliability makes me worry about owning one. I buy a car pay it off quick and then keep it for about 10 years. I've had my Honda Accord V6 sedan for 10 years and it's time for a larger vehicle with AWD. I will probably wind up with an Acura RDX, Mazda CX-50, or the Lexus RX350. Good size, AWD, reasonable ground clearance for snow, and acceptable power. The Honda Passport is also on my list.
Test drive missing, at least noticed that I prefeer the newer model, looks more attractive and bigger. The AT push button system of the older model completely obsolete.

We own two Rav 4 Prime.
Come on Honda offer a plug in.
We drive 85% of the time in EV saving a ton on energy costs and no range anxiety on road trips.
I think the CR-V hybrids have eCVT. Single gear for the electric motor and a single gear when you switch to use the I.C.E. for power at hwy speeds.
Yes, a lit of buyers don't take the replacement cost of those batteries into account when they purchase the vehicle. Big surprise when it comes time for that !!
I actually don’t like the fact that the crv trim determines the engine type. Why not just make them all hybrid at this point and simplify the lineup, while boosting average mpgs.
Hybrids dont tow well and performance still matters to some of us...... So the turbo is still a better option i just wish they had a type R version .....316hp and AWD come on honda you know you can do it and while your at it make a smaller pickup with this same setup.....ill take one for me and one for the wife please.
@@nazspeed1 The hybrid has better performance with more HP and FAR more torque. Plus electric torque is delivered at 100% at all times, while gasoline is on a curve. Towing is the only issue, but no one tows anything in this class of car.
2023 looks much better
I forgot which UA-cam influencer tested the 2023 base model CRV from 0 to 60 but it took the CRV 9.9 seconds to get to 60 mph 😅
Honda manipulates the trunk volume numbers.
The trunk cover is very height. I don’t even have a trunk cover in my Forester so this is useless measurement for my use case.
Because the trunk window is relatively small, the rear visibility is lower in comparison to some other in the segment.
Will, I generally like Honda and the product is good
How much ground clearance do these have? Thinking about Forest Service roads to trailheads.
If you're in southwest BC, definitely not enough for our FSRs. Maybe the super popular easy ones. But older/less popular ones and especially branches/spurs... Nah not a chance. Too many big cross ditches
@@tarfeef101 I'm in Washington state so the target use is mainly Cascade Mountains forest service roads. Our old Outback has about 7.5 inches clearance which has gotten us almost everywhere we've wanted to go around here, even on some very rough roads. I would hope the CRV has at least that much ground clearance. More would be better of course.
The 2022 has 7.8 inches for front wheel drive and 8.2 inches for all wheel drive.
@@seansean681 Thanks. Hopefully the new one has at least 8.2".
New '23 feel like it's any taller (the driving position) than the '22? Nice video 👍🏻
The Honda dealer where I live just does not have any inventory. I will not buy unless I can drive the vehical first. With all the labor and supply issues I still worry about build quality so will hang on to my 2016 Accord that gets 31mpg city.
Save your time. The hosts do NOT drive the vehicles! Just a bunch of blabber about interior features.
How are push button transmission clunky lol. What about other buttons on the car 🤷. I like push button transmission and have no problems with them. I just don't like any type of shaft sticking out and getting in the way.
Tried liking new but I like the old one. At least they could have compared new red with old red. Obviously red looks better.
How is this hybrid CR-V handle the winter?
Its Ironic that we here in the Philippines, that exact 2022 Honda CR-V is a 7-Seater CR-V. Same everything but with a 3rd row. 3rd row is cramped as usual
and we do not have the Hybrid Touring variant.. Top of the line trim here is called SX. i was about to get one with the same Red paint but they gave it to somebody. so back to the waiting list.
They said it. The old model is better than the new. The looks and fuel efficiency are better. What a shame. Looking forward to the update in 2-3yrs time
Agree …. The older CRV looks way better, inside and outside !
The right back pocket provides quick access to the driving driver.
HAVE A GOOD DAY EVERYONE ✌️
In terms of the TomTom comment, what I've noticed, is the Honda navigation looks an awfully lot like my friend's Garmin system. So I wouldn't be surprised if Honda uses Garmin's setup in their cars.
yes, they use Garmin & usually it'sfree lifetime updates!
There's no real CVT on the Honda hybrids but something Honda calls "eCVT". Simplified explanation, it is mainly driving in EV mode (engine as charger only) at lower speeds and for final drive a fixed gear engine.
Because of the wide power/torque range of electric motors, a transmission is not required. So no real CVT with belts and pullies.
Oops! I didn't realize a better explanation was already commented earlier. There you go!
9:34 power liftgates are dumb. I can still open it faster with my manual lift. Until these power liftgates are voice activated and 3x faster, I don't like them
I wish Honda would offer a more sporty 2L turbo in the CR-V! Have a top model with the Acura RDX drivetrain. The CR-V is a great size but I want more power!!
But why not just get the RDX then? Top level CRV is 40k. Certainly within RDX range.
@@haroldbeauchamp3770 Ya I might
Get a sport wagon then... audi makes a few
@@Tallnerdyguy If only Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura, or Mazda, made a cool sports wagon that's not small. I would love a BMW X3 or Audi Q5 but expensive maintenance and questionable reliability makes me worry about owning one. I buy a car pay it off quick and then keep it for about 10 years. I've had my Honda Accord V6 sedan for 10 years and it's time for a larger vehicle with AWD. I will probably wind up with an Acura RDX, Mazda CX-50, or the Lexus RX350. Good size, AWD, reasonable ground clearance for snow, and acceptable power. The Honda Passport is also on my list.
It looks like an x5 from some angles
That's not TomTom, it's Garmin. Everything about that screams Garmin.
I'm a big crv fan but if you want a hybrid get a Rav4 their system is excellent
The cr-v grew in size, just like the rav4.
unsubscribed, too many commercials
"Like a pimp"... that comment deserves a like and subscribe!
I miss the table.
I really like the look of the 2023 Mazda CR-V hybrid... 🤪
absolutely! total Mazda!
Test drive missing, at least noticed that I prefeer the newer model, looks more attractive and bigger. The AT push button system of the older model completely obsolete.
The back seat doesn’t fold to a level floor in 2023. It does in 2022 model.
Hi, any oil dilution or leak in the turbo version ?
One thing you guys forgot to mention is that the 2023 Honda CR-R sports hybrid has no transmission.
