- Motor1 Executive Editor Seyth Miersma takes Honda’s freshly redesigned CR-V for a spin to see if it’s worthy of retaining bestseller status in 2017.

As-tested price: $34,635
The CR-V is big business for Honda. It was the best selling SUV in America last year, and has been fully redone for 2017. Clearly the stakes for getting it right are high.
Good news then: The new iteration of the small utility vehicle seems to hew closely to all the good stuff from the outgoing model, but with better fuel economy, more tech, and more easy usability that ever before. In this week’s Why Buy? video, we talk about the details of the new Honda, and try to find any holes in its very complete armor.

Dang dude, how freakin' tall are you? When you stand next to it, you make that SUV look like a mini cooper.
He said he is 6 feet something...
depending on what that "something" is..
it makes him a basketball player or just an ordinary guy
Oscar 6'5
thats what i notice also, specially when he was seated at the back seats hahaha, what happened, the crv shrunk?
This segment is really heating up. With the redesigned CX-5, Equinox, Terrain, Sportage, CR-V, and even Jeep Compass, there are some great looking products coming out.
I agree I'm trying to figure out which one I want between the 2017.5 Nissan Murano which is growing on me, the CR-V or the new CX-5 which I'm hoping it will have apple car play and remote start that comes connected to the same fob (like all the other competitors have)

Hyundai Tucson with turbo, and 7 speed DCT is the best one of the group.
I love the Hyundai Tucson. But Hyundai Tucson in 2016 had really bad transmission problems with the turbo and 7-speed DCT. There videos on youtube of people of people stuck in traffic due to the transmission computer problem. I went on carcomplaints.com and the 2017's ( I WANTED) is still having this problem. smh

My 2017 has no such problems. Shifts are quick, smooth, and seamless.
Couldn't be happier with it.
Hyundais and Kias have terrible reselling value. Stick with Japanese and selected American models
Thank you for the review!
Hello Seyth, Thank you for this video I'm 6 foot 3 inches (191 cm) so I really appreciated this video. One thing I'm always curious about is the front passenger leg room no one ever seems to show this on any reviews. Cheers and Thank you again.

Excellent review, thanks!
I really like my 2012 Honda CRV owned since it came out in late 2011. I am thinking about upgrading it to the latest model. Thank you for the great review that takes only 6:30 to watch!
I have had mine 2 days now, the features are easy to learn and comfy safe ride😊
Simple n nice presentation
Honda nailed it with the new styling elements. I am considering this , the escape and the Tucson as my first new car.
I drove a CRV over the weekend. The only issue I had was that black box above the mirror. I found myself constantly looking underneath to see a stop light changing. I found that to be a big negative. I currently own a 2016 Honda Accord. Above the mirror there is some visibility to see the stop lights changing. I also tested the RAV4. That had a black box too, but it was narrower, and allowed visibility from the sides. With the CRV, I felt I had to keep looking under the mirror to see a stop light change.
Ditch the splash screens between segments
I got a CR-V TOURING, in July 2017, The car is very comfortable and gets very good gas mileage. What I didn’t like was the GARMIN GPS, that came with the TOURING model. I’ve noticed in the video, that you had the GOOGLE MAP on the screen-CAN YOU TELL ME, HOW YOU DID THAT?
I just bought this one the 2017 EXL model the only dislike from this very nice Cross over is the engine noise from the inside cabin when step to the gas and start rolling the road
I love it, how much does it go for?
It has an Oil dilution problem with the 1.5 L engine. Buy the LX with the 2.4L no problem with that engine
Too bad the LED headlights only come in the Touring edition. Are they that much better?
what do you think about the subaru outback in comparison?
You can actually load a full sized love seat into to the back of a CRV and close the door...pretty amazing
It’s the same length as an Accord so easy to park.
The stock tires are great for protecting your wheels from City pot holes.
A pretty good value for the price... Mine was $23,500
I like that the console armrest seems to be usable. This is important on long road trips. In other vehicles, it's too low or set too far back.
When will this car be available in cebu Philippines?
can't wait to get one next month.
Did you get it?
Please make a video review of mitsubishi outlander.
I like the storage size, but most people rarely take enough stuff to fill up the back of the car. It would be nice if they had some sort of divider where you could just put groceries without them rolling around in the back. That would be my only criticism. Otherwise there's a lot to like about this new car.
It really has the most truck space than any SUV in the segament even comparing to the expensive X3s or Audis etc. It's very useful when you need it.
It may have the greatest volume, but actual usefulness may be less than a car with lesser volume. Those numbers only tell part of the story. Edit: misspelled car, LOL.
Buy it yourself
Hi, Please test 4WD capability as well !
How's the road noise?
How is the awd compared 2016 awd
Seiko Orange Monster thumbs up!
Lovely
Nice car. I don't own a CRV 2017.
But I test drove a Honda CRV 2017 EXL model, and still they have the
driver seat vibration.
It was very obvious when driving at low speed in 2017. Sales man told me
that he will get me another car. I told him No thanks.
Better Honda fixes this rather than ignoring. So before buying please
test
drive with idling, park, ac on/off, lights on/off, adjust your seats
up/down/forward/backward..some combination makes the front seats
vibrate...the engineers need
to get something right..looks like this is been lingering for years..
BEWARE. Rest looks great. some might not like exterior - I too but I can live with that.
Thanks to this vid I just put a down payment towards this car . Hopefully get it next week
Honestly this SUV trumps its competition hands down. The only thing I wish they could still do is add a V6 or more powerful engine. Most of these compact crossovers are lacking power and this takes away its premium feel that you would get from stepping up to a luxury brand. The ground clearance is fantastic and still remains a low step in height. This is because they squeeze all the underpinnings close to the body and keep it nice and clean. Only problem is this is a expensive vehicle while others include many standard features Honda makes them all in the top tier models and even then somethings are lacking. They need honda sight on both sides + blind spot monitoring and not as seperate entities.
Finally changed the style. More sporty and a little rugged looking. I didn't like the old style. It was too granny looking .
Diana Rugged looking...lol Uhm okay
How is the oil level?
good video
How tall are you Seyth?
How tall are you? Helps to judge the roominess when you're sitting in it.
Yippie he's a giant for sure
the best in its class.
Honda CRV 2017 best compact SUV.
well-offerd though it wasn't enough to compare with the korean brands like Tucson or santafe l.overall the CR-V is still the best choice for me
Glad Honda is finally getting out of their bland boxy designs.
sportsMike87 huh? Boxy? When did crv become boxy?
The last 'boxy' CR-V imo was the 06 model. They have looked pretty swell by 07 though.
what do u think of the toyota rav 4?
I liked the 1st generation body style in some ways
How tall is the host? He makes the vehicle look quite small. Would this be comparable to the GMC terrain?
Ogre Doug looks like 6'4
Excellent review , it hard to find car reviews like this
I like how you talk slow and show every details and normal look not like others car reviews so gay n complaining too much about horse power
Keep good work
We just bought the 2017 LX AWD version with the Lunar Silver Metallic paint. Is this an Acura!? Very refined for even the base model. With us owning the previous 2012 CRV AWD LX , We can say whole heartedly this new updated C.U.V. was the right choice. No more "dreaded" depressing of the "AC" button and lack of power/acceleration like our old 2012 model. Handles corners without the sloppy wallowing feel with little leaning and a more composed ride that is neutral and confidence inspiring. Looking at the engineering specs for a second : The vehicle size has increased in all directions and weighs exactly the same as our out going model.
We are very impressed with the build quality and soft touch materials Honda used. with a renewed eye on a versatility, design, practicality, And premium quality feel makes this new Honda CRV a no brainer of an upgrade for us.
just made exact same purchase.
That is very great News! :) We feel like we got so much vehicle for the Price, Practicality, Value, Quality, And Substance. I personally feel we got a Luxury Acura. :) I think it's one of the smartest car purchases we ever made to be perfectly honest. :) Enjoy your new C.U.V. ! :)
That's awesome. I wanted to play it safe with 2.4 NA engine.
Same here :) The 2.4 is a very good durable motor. The EX package had nice stuff but not worth the $2600 bucks for it. Confusing or tricky infotainment touch screens in the cold winters wearing gloves isn't my idea of a good experience. You also get a lighter vehicle and more head space with the LX model.
My thoughts exactly. Driving both, 2.4 sounded little quieter. Sunroof was small. Plus they were discounting the LX more. The lumbar support would have been nice.
They still haven't put an non turbo engine with more HP. One couldn't even buy a EX or above without turbo. They also screwed up with a softer suspension.
nice
How would u know it’s fun to drive if u don’t peel out on the highway?
2016 VS 2017 Whats your take? I am getting huge discount on 2016 shall I go for it?
my wife got the 17. We also had huge discount offerings on the '16. the '17 is better in every way. So quiet. Sexy and a lot more masculine foe when the man of the house is driving it
I am with you specially when you are going to drive for rest of life 2000-3000 should be here and there should be fine, I did mistake by going to 2016 as it doesnt have any toys to play life coffee display while driving :)
no thanks I have mistakenly bough 2016 as it is getting cheaper, but I would regret by reading the specifications changes of 2017 ....Every 5 years changes happens and 2017 changed happened and I am not aware of it!! Now i have been verified all the SUVS, for a budget around 30000 Blindly go for 2017 model than any other SUVS,if you need more details please ask here happy to help.
Unbelieveable that average CR-V buyer is 60-years old.
Im sorry for my ignorance, but what does Empty nester mean?
It means your kids are all grown up and moved out of the house .
does the ex trim come with a 12v outlet in the trunk ?
moshe2p if you are in Canada it does...
moshe2p Jh
that dude is huge
Whats worth buying ? the new Volvo XC 60? New honda CRV? or Lexus NX ?
Bernard Jones new 2018 xc60. But it does cost alot more than the crv
A $32K discounted on Autotrader a Buick Envision 2.0T with torque vectoring AWD and 4 year, 50,000 mile warranty is a better deal.
How tall you are?
Yeah, but how does it smell?
Like gas.
u guys are Seiko fans? i see a Seiko Monster and other guy in Tucson vid had a Snk.
Is it only me and my device or the voice of the person in this video is modulated to sound like inside a tunnel or from a distance. 🤔
Radio is unusable without glasses-no physical buttons. I'll buy Sportage!
goldpilgrim the fact that you can’t see your own radio but still intend to drive without glasses makes me hope I never meet you on the road
The compact suv segment of the auto industry really annoys me
Cr-v: great all around but no hud, no v6, not that great looking BUT reliable and has android auto and apple carplay
cx-5: much better feeling car and looks nicer imho. Has so many features like a hud and a controller for the screen BUT no v6 or android or apple support (WTF) and it has much smaller cargo space. Also no hands free liftgate like cr-v.
so many baffling decisions
How does it compare to the BMW X3 or the Lexus NX?
"A techy homage to wood" oh dear
aku punya 1
20:00 , How Tall Are You Buddy ?? CRV Looks Like A Hatch Along With You .. lol
Hahaha... Cheers Mate :)
Seyth Miersma you're giant
Seyth Miersma I'm 5'10 and taller than most. I wish I was your height I'd scare all the detainees at work
I'm 5'6 and a half for a 11 year old
Thanks for making this video! I’m looking at this car and at 6 foot 2 I was wondering how I would fit. Looks like I’m going to enjoy this car.
Crazy eyes!
i like this becauseof the vertical tail lights. thats rare to see in a car and it makes it look like an escalade!
Why is there no CD PLAYER?
alot of car companies are starting to stop with the CD player cause ppl dont use them.
who needs a CD player in 2017
Lloyd Y Benoit ME
does it excist in diesel
yes in germany
This guy is the definition of a hipster. Red shoes, hoodie, collared shirt, beard, skinny jeans.
He's like a gigantic viking hipster
he looks like a white Jidenna.
Wish the exterior wasn't so ugly with its wheels and overbite front. The rest they seemed to hit it out of the park. My mom test drove one to replace her 2014 V6 Jeep Cherokee and said it was way too slow for her. The 1.5 turbo was a no go. She bought a Kia Sportage turbo SXL and loves it.
Blake Swan the Sportage is a great SUV. Even though the CR-V is slower in comparison, it will get better mpg. I guess it is what is important, power or mpg. unfortunately, we usually can't have both.
ciron28trains e
forester xt
Biplav Shrestha discontinued for 2019.
Needs a v-6 or a larger 2.0L turbo. And the wheel arches intrude into the trunk too far for it to be really useful. Golf clubs are a no-go.
They wanted to make a family crossover, not a pick up truck or a sport suv... The engine options is more than OK... And about the cargo area, YOU WONT FIND ANYTHING BIGGER IN THE SEGMENT... You want to put golf clubs in there? They will fit horizntally. C'mon, they are golf clubs, not power line towers... Those wheels arches are the less intrusive in the cargo area that I have seen. I dont even see any plastic cap to access the top mounting nuts of the rear shock absorbers on them. If you need a wider space, get a Pilot... Or a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter or a Ford Connect commercial vans hahahha!!
Definitely a Terrain or Equinox with 2.0T for under $30,000 on cars.com
looks like all new nissan xtrail
shit.. that's a tall ass man standing next to a cr-v
The 2017-18 CRV's with the 1.5L turbo have developed a serious engine problem where gas dilutes the oil. NOT GOOD!
And it comes @ no extra charge 💸💸💸
I can appreciate the Honda CRV. Just not a fan of the cvt . Their love of almost an all digital/computer graphics style dash and the shiter lever pushed up more forward. So you almost have to reach for it. I find what one of your test driver/reporter says on one thing. Your other reporter is not as thrilled.
this car is small in person, i ended up getting the 17 rogue
Benjamin Navarro the CR-V is bigger interior wise than the Rogue.
its bigger indeed. in almost every aspect. Including with the rogue 2nd row back all the way. But the Rogue's seating feel much more comfortable and Im sure the Bose stereo is way better. On another note, no one seems to mention that the CRV has an advertised reclineable rear seats. Can anyone vouch for this??
ciron28trains yiy65tytrghg
Vic da G yes the rear seats recline slightly.
Blow off valve, vtec kick in BAAAAAAAAAA PSHHH
a lot more can be said about the car. You are tall and look uncomfortable in the back. the hatch opens yet do we see it close by itself. No heated steering wheel. MPG will never be high and each driver differs. the steering is electronic, never did you say that. I did enjoy the review but I will make my own decisions in person and from the history of owning two the gen 1 and gen 2.
mas, saya doakan sampeyan dapet subscriber banyak, tapi tolong duit adsensenya jangan dipakai mabuk2an ya..
C'est moteur baisse en huile.
RAV4....Need I say more!
Noong naa aprobahan ng GOVERNMENT ang pagtulong sa mga biktima ng KARAHASAN at biktimang CALAMITY ang mga GO PINUNTAHAN ang Yabut at BRIONES dahil noon driver service ng boy ang Alice
Funky.. the most over used word of 2017
Don't buy. It's not worth the money if there's Mazda and Subaru offering better specs and value.
Intel & Nvidia SUXXZZZ!!! Honda and Toyota are the most expensive with the domestics and Koreans at about $6,000 less on average when compared on Autotrader. In 5-7 years they all are about the same price and in the end will pay for the Japanese.
I will not buy a CRV again unless they put a V6 in it. My 2014 is way under power.
Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!! You want a V6? Get a Pilot or a Ridgeline...
Your comment is out of context!!! It is like asking Toyota to put a V6 or a turbo engine in the Yaris...
The CR-V 2014 has 185 HP!!! How much do you want in a family car???? That is more than enough for that car...
You wanted more power in a Compact Crossover? You should have waited for the Ford Escape 2.0 Ecoboost, with 245 hp... GEEEEZZZ!!!
The weakness with 2014 CRV: under power/low torque; small seats design for women; hazardous foot brake pedal; flimsy armrest; sand paper steering wheel; cheap interior. 2017 weakness: under power engine with crappy turbo (2.4 not available on all models); CVT; less sensitive steering/softer suspension; confusing radio panel. I am not going to buy any crappy Ford, so I bought a 2017 RDX (278 HP) and only cost $8,000 more.
Equinox or Terrain 2.0T for for mid-$20's on autotrader is a better deal if you can for go some features for more power.
They ruined the styling IMO.
This is the strangest car review I’ve ever seen smh 🤦♂️
It's free.
not the wheel ... so damn ugly
looks like a fucking Nissan.
go 2017 Mazda CX-5 way better than CVT. still ugly front and rear. same crappy
