I didn't really hear anything that seemed like a subjective analysis of the vehicle while you were driving it. It just sounded like a press release by Honda. One of their big weaknesses in the past has been road noise. Is it really improved? How does it stack up against its competitors in the department?
It was so beautiful when it came out a year ago. Tons and tons of people are buying it. But now in light of the new RAV4 it is actually pretty plain looking now. But it is still beautiful.
Dave, you've gone over the spec sheet for the vehicle but I'm more interested to hear your take on the vehicle's performance. The new engine is a big departure and I would have like to have heard your impressions on it's performance, along with the CVT and the changes to ride and handling. Love the channel but wanted more subjective info on this one.
Avoid this. Big problems with fuel getting in the oil. 350K recalled in China. Mine only has 8K miles and has been in the shop for 3 weeks with engine problems. Waiting for them to change injectors.
Bought the 2018 exl last week. Feels great to drive and beautiful interior. There is engine noise inside cabin and CarPlay drops sometimes. reconnecting my phone solves the issue. Will be taking it to the dealer. Overall the car is great with roomy cabin and leather seats
Can't believe you skipped over the Brake Hold feature. Honda CRV looks better than most in the class given the rear lip but it has to have roof rails and LED headlights to look nice - which means the Touring model.
Such a good looking crossover car. This and the new Outback are the top two best over all vehicle in my opinion of course. Funny how this is so good and starts out 6K less than the new Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross that starts at 30k and not nearly as good as this CR-V.
Do you have any comments regarding the gas / oil problem with the I4 turbo that caused the Chinese recall / sales ban? It's also being reported in Canada and disproportionate engine problem complaints are being recorded with the American NHTSA. It seems it mostly affects customers in the northern climates. I ask because I was going to buy a 2018 EXL and now am reticent to do that until the problem is reliably corrected - especially living in Buffalo! Thoughts?
Dave Jentsch did you happen to pick one up? I’m in Canada and picking mine up next week. They said the issue is going to be fixed this month and 5th they cannot give me the car until any recalls are fixed.
I never like to buy the First Year of a New Engine design... Stick with the 2.4 Liter with 184 horsepower. Turbo engines means more complicated and possible engine problems/issues. I would wait 2 years before getting a Turbo, when all flaws are fixed.
@@johnherrera7551: My 2018 was "fixed" by Honda. After 1000 miles, the "oil" was WAY above full - past the orange tab on the end of the dipstick. The oil was diluted by MORE than 5% fuel, which most people would consider severe. I am not alone. Google the CRV owners club forum for oil dilution (the forum search tool is sheet, just like Honda's 1.5L turbo) and you'll find many people who had the "fix" and still have the problem. In fact, there are some people who didn't have the problem, but do now AFTER the fix. There are also reports by people who own a 2019 that have the problem. There were so MANY threads about oil dilution that the moderators closed all but ONE thread down (perhaps "guided" by Honda?), meaning that all of the closed oil dilution threads are now "stale" / no longer current and are slowly being pushed back in time on the forum and no longer feature prominently on the first page. Not sure where you're getting your statistics, but if it's from Honda, I don't know why anyone would trust them.
Honda has been making some weird looking rim designs & it's funny cause the base trim Hondas (the LX trim) have better looking rim designs than the other trim levels... But this is one of the best looking & premium looking crossovers in its class.The tail lights remind me of a Lexus RX & the LED turning indicators in the tail lights look very premium (like an Escalade), can't think of any other crossover in its class that offers LED turning indicators in the tail lights
I enjoy your reviews--you're one of the best. But can you please do a CR-V review focusing on real world conditions in winter conditions on regular roads? I am a bit discouraged by the "fail" video in the Spokane park you did last winter. But in some ways that wasn't fair--the CR-V is a road car, not an off-road car. What I want to see is a review that takes it on some back roads--not horrible gravel roads in the middle of nowhere but just secondary back roads like the kinds I might drive on, that are snowy and slippery and of marginal quality, plowed last after everything else, you know what I mean. I'd like to get your impressions about how the CR-V handles those conditions. Thanks.
I like the redesign/ Honda did a good job, but the Rogue and Rav4 have actually gained market share since it hit the streets. They now outsell this CRV in 2017. Toyota dropped prices about $1000 when Honda brought this out. Looks like that was enough.
True, I would take the new CR-V over the new Rav 4 any day. I don't like the looks at all. Both will last, Honda has better MPG, Toyota stock safety equipment. Both better than the Eclipse Cross that btw costs more for some reason.
Honda sensing is standard on all trims but the base model. The CR-V has superior handling and interior quality and android-auto /apple CarPlay. If you take both for a test drive, there is no way you would choose a RAV4, but most people blindly buy their cars...
And the outselling, is counting the fleet sales? Because last time I checked you won't find CRV's in rentals, whereas Rav4's... well. Despite all that, Honda keeps being better, regarding the margin.
Bitcoin University nope you are wrong and right at the same time, rogue has been beating crv in sales but not rav4 even though Toyota decreased the prices crv is still outselling rav4 in numbers in pretty much every quarter of the year and it's super close to rogue in whole year sales
It is gorgeous and I previously own a CRV but I own and prefer the Pilot now. No competitors can touch the Pilots interior but needs to improve the exteiror.
area859 the only big issue so far is the oil dilution. Currently it’s still a great car but the infotainment system is outdated now and I’m starting to dislike the CVT. If you have the money, go with the new Acura RDX.
Ended up buying 2017 Hyundai Tucson SE 2.0L AWD, new. wow but it was hugeeeeeeeeee headache buying a car. first i bought 2016 Tucson Premium AWD 1.6 Turbo, and I did not like that. Premium is one trim lower to SE. When I drive above 120 km/hr here in Canada, i hear something like whistling sound like inside an airplane. I dunno, may it is the turbo?????? Went back to the same dealer. After the trade-in or exchange, whatever is the terminology, I ended up draining about 4 thousand down the drain after keeping for a week. The new car should I bought should be around 37K with tax and loan instead cost me 41K after the exchange. wow... rookie mistake..
How much HP do you need? Had a 1992 Ford Explorer bigger with full frame and heavy solid axles with only 140 hp. This would absolutely destroy it off the line.
francob911 no need to review. I own the Touring version. The Pilot does NOT have the to die for feature of an Electronic Brake. I'm totally pissed off. But everything else is better and very very big 3rd row.
winter tires... drive one in Colorado and like all AWD cars based one FWD cars, the AWD makes virtually no difference once you are moving. However with winter tires, it is quite capable, but so is every car. ;)
** Huge issue with Oil contamination ( Gas in Oil ) .1.5L Turbo engine. It's NOT just in extreme cold weather , either. Huge China recall on the 1.5T engine about 6 months ago about 500, 000 CRV's . Honda has DONE NOTHING in North America with same issue !!! Gas in Oil is huge issue . Engines will fail after warrantee period , prematurely , after warrantee . CAN be safety issue , as well .
Wallrus Moose Camry is 10X more reliable. Head gasket issues have "apparently" been fixed, however Subarus have had oil burning problems and make weak automatic transmissions. Another important factor is that the aftermarket parts for the Camry will be cheaper. The Subarus are not as mass produced as the Camry, therefore parts will be more expensive to replace. I have myself a 93 Camry V6 with over 675,000 miles and it runs excellent. I couldn't recommend any other vehicle.
Justin David I had several Honda’s with the CVT, they make great cars but I don’t like the “rubber band” feel of the CVT. It also drones when accelerating, Justin this is just my opinion and is subjective. Also I don’t believe you will get as many miles out of it like a traditional trans. I believe they use it to get the most gas mileage out of the engine, also you cannot repair a CVT, you have to replace it completely.
Zenith yeah the Hondas have had transmission issues for years and their new models such as the pilot and Acura products still show evidence of transmission problems. I'd take a look at the RAV4 or a used RX350 if you want more power
Brian Lawrance the 9speed is a ZF sourced transmission being replaced with the new honda developed 10 speed. Other than the 9 speed, hondas transmissions have been fine.
Justamazon 33 I still don't trust them until they've been in the market for at least a couple more years.Hondas a great cars, but they've been having these problems on and off for the past 15-20 years, so it will take some time to prove themselves again
Ugly front end, ugly rims, and it only comes with a CVT, no thank you. Mazda CX-5 is much nicer, drives so much better, more upscale and for a better price. Most importantly, no CVT!
They use to have 2.4 L engine it was under power ... they put 1.5L it's still under power that turbo it's like a old horse. Honda Honda why don't you put a 2 L turbo from accord with 252 hp ??? Why why ?? Younger people want to drive not to fell asleep behind the steering wheel.
Walter 777 because even if they would offer it, they wouldn't sell as many units. Remember the V6 Rav 4. They produced them for a couple of years, but 90%+ chose the 4 cylinder which gives you decent power and great gas mileage. The vehicles in the class really don't need that kind of power.
Brian Lawrance I understand but don't you think they would bring more buyers??? 62 hp more that would a big different. The engine which they have right now is luck of power !!! (((((
Walter 777 it's a CRV. Honda knows their market. Most people are going to find the base powertrain more than adequate. I test drove a 2015 CRV with the 2.4L and it was plenty adequate, however I can't speak about the new turbo. Plus, if Honda offered more power in the CRV, It would give buyers a reason to chose a Honda over an Acura. The Acura sales would go down .Because an Acura RDX is pretty much a Honda CRV with a V6.
Was planning to trade in my 2016 Mazda CX-5 for this and when I test drove it today I was so disappointed. It was very very shaky and super loud on the highway! Not a smooth ride whatsoever

I was going to buy the CR-V but Honda decided to remove the CD player. I go on road trips and listen to audio books.
would you recommend this over the HRV, I don't care about the 50 extra hp, I'm 5 ft 8, Would the HRV be okay for me?
Go for CRV rather than HRV. HRV looks like frog
Lovely interior materials & layout
I got a 2012 with the regular trans. Not upgrading because the CVT. They need to put the 2.0 turbo in new CRV just like in the new accord. not the 1.5
I agree, and why I won't buy one! That 1.5 may be fine for most, but to me it feels and sounds like it's straining all the time.
The rumor is that they are putting the 2.0 turbo like in the accord to the new Acura RDX.
i'm sooo seriously considering buyin this car this year. it was up between this and a jetta.
I so recommend that you buy the crv. I owned a Jetta for a long time. Many maintenance issues.
No Jetta.. Has lots of problems.
CVT is costing Honda a lot of sales!
A must buy
Honda CRV should have an optional 7 seater model just like in Australia w/ panoramic roof
No point. For the money difference, people would just go to a Honda Pilot.
It is gorgeous and I previously own a CRV but I own and prefer the Pilot now.
No competitors can touch the Pilots interior but needs to improve the exteiror.
This is an Awesome CRV.
HONDA keep that KEY FOB please!!!!!!!!!!!! I know your watching!
Can you take the CR-V off-road again and give it another chance at the off-roading test?
hey man can you do another snow off roading with the 2018 Honda CR-V.
I just watched a commercial. Reading from the Honda literature and not one part of the review on how it drives, acceleration, the cvt, noise, etc.
Those fancy wheels are not my favorite design from Honda.
I Agree...should have went more classic with the wheels
They look like fidget spinners!
Great review!
I love mine. Best car. I won't even replace with a Tesla or BMW.
😯😯😲😲
You mean 2.4 engine in the lx trim and a 1.5 turbo engine in the ex and above trim is what they offer now
Honda has never had a 2.5
Dave, for this review, what is the exact color of the exterior? For the interior, is that gray leather or ivory? Thanks.
Got the 17 EX-L last year and it seems to be the same for 2018. Still a great suv! 2018 motor trend suv of the year.

the lx model has a "2.4" liter 4 cylinder. not a 2.5! and the honda cvt does not drain power like other brands.
Nice WHITE SHOES dad.. all Honda would have to do is add better wheel options and theyd beat Toyota hands down.

What the...? The car needs to always be on in order to use the radio?
Where is your review of the 2019 Honda Crv? I can't find it.
Can you tell me if it has a headlights off auto delay ?
I wish Japanese manufacturers would get rid of the hoaky-chrome-window-trim...

HONDA MAKE SIMPLE DESIGHED SUV BUT GOOD POWER ACCELERATION
Sounds like Honda gave you to read a paper in exchange of the CRV. Sorry but this is not a review to me.
What's the point of this review? Same as 2017, right?
When does the UK get this model CR V??
** Huge issue with Oil contamination ( Gas in Oil ) .1.5L Turbo engine. It's NOT just in extreme cold weather , either. Huge China recall on the 1.5T engine about 6 months ago about 500, 000 CRV's . Honda has DONE NOTHING in North America with same issue !!! Gas in Oil is huge issue . Engines will fail after warrantee period , prematurely , after warrantee . CAN be safety issue , as well .
could be with the 2019 as well . Problem NOT fixed as far as I'm aware ! Premature wear out will happen w/o clean , non-gased , oil gang !!!
False. Honda has a fix for 2017/18s which is covered by warranty. All 2019s will have the fix. It affected around 7% in N.A.
John Herrera you’re obviously a Honda rep. Furthest from the truth. Not a fix. I’m a engineer Sir. Where do you get this propaganda from??
Dave Camry or Legacy which is better? Is it true subie has head gasket issues
Wallrus Moose Camry is 10X more reliable. Head gasket issues have "apparently" been fixed, however Subarus have had oil burning problems and make weak automatic transmissions. Another important factor is that the aftermarket parts for the Camry will be cheaper. The Subarus are not as mass produced as the Camry, therefore parts will be more expensive to replace. I have myself a 93 Camry V6 with over 675,000 miles and it runs excellent. I couldn't recommend any other vehicle.
depends on your needs. if you get snow go legacy no snow go with old reliable camry
An opposed engine is always going to have oil burning and head gasket issues. 90% of winter driving is tires and driver skill.
Everybody wait for CRV hybrid
it's 2.4L not a 2.5L
Ugly front end and wheels but I'll probably buy one.
The CVT is a dealbreaker for me !!!!!
Joey Segreti why?
Justin David I had several Honda’s with the CVT, they make great cars but I don’t like the “rubber band” feel of the CVT.

Joey Segreti the regular automatics that Honda makes are weak too. I would personally only buy a Honda product with a manual
Brian Lawrance - Totally agree, except I drive in a ton of traffic (and I’m lazy,lol) so a manual tranny is not an option for me
Brian Lawrance I have a 2005 Odyssey with 240k and 2008 Accord with 198k with no transmission issues. But maybe I'm just lucky haha
Mazda cx-5 best in class IMO!
It has a cvt. So, no thanks!!!
Andrew atm This isn’t a Nissan cvt.
Andrew atm if it’s not a v8 engine why fool yourself? You expect a 2, 4, 6 cylinder to drive like a real sports car? 😂
Andrew atm Like Savann Williams said, it’s not a Nissan CVT. Honda CVTs and Toyota CVTs do good. If that’s your main concern, go look at nissans. Lmao
Tires could be bigger
Im in the market right now, but cvt kills this one for me. Shame, everything else is great about this car.

They use to have 2.4 L engine it was under power ... they put 1.5L it's still under power that turbo it's like a old horse. Honda Honda why don't you put a 2 L turbo from accord with 252 hp ??? Why why ?? Younger people want to drive not to fell asleep behind the steering wheel.
Walter 777 because even if they would offer it, they wouldn't sell as many units. Remember the V6 Rav 4. They produced them for a couple of years, but 90%+ chose the 4 cylinder which gives you decent power and great gas mileage. The vehicles in the class really don't need that kind of power.
Brian Lawrance I understand but don't you think they would bring more buyers??? 62 hp more that would a big different. The engine which they have right now is luck of power !!! (((((
Walter 777 it's a CRV. Honda knows their market. Most people are going to find the base powertrain more than adequate. I test drove a 2015 CRV with the 2.4L and it was plenty adequate, however I can't speak about the new turbo. Plus, if Honda offered more power in the CRV, It would give buyers a reason to chose a Honda over an Acura. The Acura sales would go down .Because an Acura RDX is pretty much a Honda CRV with a V6.
I have just purchased one. Power is fine. Why make a souped up car? Kids abuse the the speed limit as it is.
Nice!!
yeah under Armour hat? not a fan. I'll check out someone else's review
Was planning to trade in my 2016 Mazda CX-5 for this and when I test drove it today I was so disappointed. It was very very shaky and super loud on the highway! Not a smooth ride whatsoever
Mariela De Santiago what made you want to trade the cx5?
Liar. This car is NOT shaky it loud.
Lies ....its a very smooth car and not loud ....
Waiting for stronger engine.
tubeslats 2 liter turbo with manual trans
tubeslats
Keep waiting😁😁
tubeslats if they put in a stronger engine, Honda won't be able to sell their RDX.
Smartest comment on this thread given the ongoing problems.
Exterior is hideous
17-18 1.5L turbo is a multi problematic piece of garbage I highly recommend you do not come near this car.
How about the 2.4L 4 cylinders? Old-fashioned but more reliable?
@@holybaboon1 reliable
CRV has always been ugly to me. To each his own.
Matthew Moscotto lol you must be a Muslim
Ur not lying. They need a redesign ASAP
Get the butt plug out
Crvs look elegant and classy. You have no class I guess.
turbo naaa
It might be new but it just looks like any other SUV
Yaawwwwwwwwwn
