I have a 2023 Mitsubishi outlander phev and it drives on pure electric for 38+ miles. At times when the engine is on, it acts as a generator especially on tarmac mode. In power and eco mode the IC engine sends power to battery and to front wheel depending upon the demand. Outlander also has a energy flow screen which tells you how the power is utilized while driving. Outlander has all the features you showed here except the blind spot camera. Nice video and very informative
7:25 very useful to compare with the Toyota which are very noisy when hard accelerating. Great video. I’m not usually a fan of POV, but this was good. Your English is very clear
@@mj8495 I personally hate those and when we got our new CRV the salesman said that corporate Honda did study groups and almost all owners hated them so they went back to the traditional stick, at least in the US
Great video, just to clarify: The hybrids in Honda work in a way in which the ICE engine acts only as a generator to the electric battery and electric motor, so the ICE engine only powers the electric motor. Thats probably why you really cant hear the engine that much. Only in highway speeds the ICE engine can directly also provide some energy directly to the wheels.
@@philk4944 Yes, it does affect mpg. It lowers it. Until we get this PHEV, all of the energy comes from gas. The energy you use in EV Drive takes an extra trip thru the battery, incurring more loss. Stop mashing it, and see.

Hello Dan. When it comes to sound insulation/ noise and driving comfort at lower speeds and highway, which phev SUV do you prefer? This Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson, Mazda CX-60 or another car (around the same price)?
Mazda is the best 'overall quality ' but it's old school regarding to tech features. Kia/Hyundai is still garbage, not gonna last in long term, crappy dct and engine and price is skyrocketing. Rav4 is not comfy at all. Honda is the best deal for me. I'll keep my 2022 civic a long time.
@@balokurd17 I also like the 11th gen Civic e:Hev very much. SDA Dan Cars did great and extensive reviews on that one during the day and evening. I wish Honda finished it a little more off with less dark mat plastics in the front and rear bumper.
I noticed this has a steering wheel on the left hand side. Could it be purchased there and brought to the US? As long as the emissions are right for US standards, which I don't see why they wouldn't be should be able to bring it to US. The 2WD is a bummer though.
Way better than the U.S. Version. The U.S Version is missing the Head Up Display, Full Digital Cluster, Push Button Shifter, Automatic Transmission and Panoramic Sunroof.
This car is like the civic car that you tested. It does not have any gear box, no CVT no nothing. Is a single gear driving by the electric engine that gets disconnected at higher speeds and the petrol engine directly connects to the wheels
Thanks for the review Please show us how many energy it recover when you go down for a long time I’m interested in this car, I make a lot of mountain roads , San gottard pass, San bernardino etc.. it could be nice to see it👍
It will recuperate plenty of energy there on mountain. I try to make a video in future but it will act like an electric car …. Until down you will earn energy
Previous generation crv hybrid had active noise cancellation as standart and subwoofer in all hybrid trims, that resulted in very strong EV car feeling, sound(noise) ,reactions on throttle and smoothness. In fact it is EV drivetrain backed with battery and ICE generator. With moderate acceleration levels driver could easily forget that car had ICE because ICE was noticeable very rare and very quite even under full throttle. However that noise cancelation seems was focusing on ICE and rear axle noise on highway was too high.
Excellent topline review.Looks like high score vs Toyota. Is there something that you don't like about this Honda CRV PHEV besides the heavy steering which you mentioned a few times😊?
Just wish they would bring it to US already. Looked at KIA Tucson PHEV..No thanks. I presently have a 2022 Honda CRV Hybrid and love it. I had a Chevy Volt in the past which I thought was the perfect vehicle (PHEV) . Chevy discontinuing that car was such a dumb move so they can focus on the BOLT. The world isn't ready for PURE EVS. PHEVS are a perfect transition.
@@philk4944 I have been using the 2023 phev model since March. I love it. Fun car to drive, spacious, and has good power. It has all the features shown in this video except the blind sight camera. I am not a fan of the Mitsubishi local dealership or service. But as far as I am concerned the product is built with high quality. If Mitsubishi dealership doesn't improve their service and product expertise in US, they will end up loosing business despite of having a great product.
I have the 2023 Hybrid Trg Sport & was curious about the PHEV. But Honda missed the mark significantly. For SUVs, we want AWD, more HP & entirely PHEV stand alone. PHEV doesn’t mean ICE as a generator. Why are we plugging it in then?
First of all, Dan, let me thank you for all the great job you are doing with all the reviews. my question is which car would you choose based on the fact that you have driven both of these cars, the new honda CRV hybrid or the nissan xtrail e-Power e-4ORCE, which one is better in terms of built quality, riding comfort, consumption, cargo space, which one do you consider a better overall car. Thank you, and keep doing what you are doing.
Рік тому
I did test drive both of them. Built quality, riding comfort and cargo space are much better in Honda crv. It is impossible not to feel the difference. Crv driving assistance was impressive and again better. I also wonder what Dan says
Dongfeng also doing the same thing With 1.5T March Hybrid system and also consume less fuel at maximum fuel efficiency of 3.5L/100km on a hybrid car only.
They all need to start making the phevs with 50-100 miles per charge...more economical with less use of the range extender. Or at least make it an option to increase as a purchase option.
Tested one today. I really liked the car. After driving the new Prius PHEV, the new Civic Hybrid and the Corolla Hybrid this does feel more refined but it should with price tag, right? The engine does drive the wheels directly at a certain speed, but it never feels annoying like sometimes with Toyotas. Unfortunately I was handed the car with a nearly empry battery so I couldn’t really use EV mode but drove around 40 kms in hybrid drive mode, with some sprints to check if it’s quick and at the end got 4.8 L/100kms. I found it a bit noisy at speed but OK. Overall it’s really refined and so spacious! It’s an amazing car. It’s on the top of my list for 2024.
Also remember I am not sure did you reset the L/100Km before testing.. PHEV is something you cant get exact L/100Km since it does uses advantage of EV mode. For example my Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV 2023 give me 3L/100KM the main reason EV drive making it fuel efficient !
At Honda the drive is done by the electric motor most of the time, the ice makes the power for it. At certain speeds the ice engages the drive system acting like a "3"rd or a "6" th speed (where power is needed). At Toyota and Suzuki there is another type of combination, where sometimes both the electric and ice drive the car, so the ice increases the rpm all the way to red line. Similar with the cvt gearbox (from the drivers perspective). Both are impresive engineering. Toyota (phev) is more powerfull, cause is ads better the ice and electric.
you can't hear the CVT transmission in Honda CR-V because there is no CVT transmission :) there is applied unique Honda solution , in fact there is no gear box at all. please get in to details so you can find out differents between Honda & Toyota hybrid second question : the combustion engine will drive the wills directly after you rich approx 75km/h speed, depending on riding conditions, either you driving downhill or uphill, or accelerate or drive smoove ....
All vehicles have transmission that "transmits" power from engine to wheels. Traditional CVT is a system of belts. The Honda eCVT is more like a torque converter on a traditional AT. It has two sets of gears (clutches) that work together to vary gear ratios. Definitely better than belt type CVT! 😊
Sorry what is Unique Honda Solution in it ? It is Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV concept, a generator with EV motors infact Mitsubishi refined it and it also gives more power. Generator takes front wheel drive in hybird mode while back wheels always drives on electric Super All Wheel Drive.
@@trulycommonman7673 Well you just said how it’s different. Plug In Hybrid vs Non Plug in Hybrid. Honda doesn’t use the engine as a generator like Mitsubishi does. Honda has an e-CVT, Mitsubishi from what it seems only has a hydraulic clutch used when driving in parallel mode. What makes the Honda system different is their e-CVT or what is sometimes referred to as their e-Drive system. Weber Auto made a great UA-cam video explaining it in detail
Regarding the handling (from the press kit): Damper control The CR-V has been perfectly designed to deal with broken road surfaces and uneven terrain, thanks to a flatter ride that prevents unnecessary movement over large undulations. The e:HEV has been achieved via amplitude reactive dampers that make the damping force harder or softer based on the vibration frequencies from the road conditions. The e:PHEV model receives a full adaptive damper system that reacts to a range of vehicle sensor data, including wheel speed, lateral and longitudinal g-force, and yaw rate. The system offers high levels of stability and ride comfort in Normal mode, whilst Sport mode increases the damping force, widens the operating range, and delivers a tighter, more controlled ride for dynamic driving.
Honda CRV is a progressive choice chosen by the segment for whom performance and driving comfort are important, as well as the interior and exterior of the car. Toyota is the choice for those who are not interested in the interior and exterior of the car and only prioritize moving from point A to point B. The quality of construction is real garbage in Toyota, everything is done indifferently. And it is chosen by the category of those who only call reliability, because they do not properly understand technology.. (Honda is actually a company that produces the best engines in the world).

Downside is that Honda in recent years has dropped the ball in terms of reliability
So sad @honda doesn’t sale that version/trim in US, it is weird knowing that crv is one of the best selling cars in the country 😢
Yeah it’s coming to the US next year. It only came out in Europe in 2023. The normal hybrid came out a year early in Europe as well
@@jacobkummer2067Hope they let us have the button shifter as well...have in my RDX and Insight and so much nicer cabin space

@@jeffjo8732 No worries enjoy ! btw please read my previous comment once again if you have time otherwise fine : )
So this is a plugin hybrid electric gas motor? It runs both electric and gas?
When there is a traffic road and lines are blurred or changed, does it make driving heavier?
Great video and review.
I test drive yesterday, nice car and only 2l/100km fuel consumption.

Plug in hybrid CRV with ventilated seats, 360 camera, and a panoramic sunroof…. none of which are available in the US 😡
Seriously? I would expect that Honda makes the CRV thinking mostly about the US customers.
Calm down, this trim cost 74000 USD. No one will pay that in the US.
Come to Europe. It's a better life here :)
Hello for that plug in hybrid how fast does electric only mode go up too???
Around 130kmh
