A few more notes: - The shown color is called "Cosmic Blue Metallic" - The CR-V is also available as a 7-seater - In this generation the first time available with 7 seats also in Europe - In the 7-seat version, you'll have a rear bench which can be slit 15 cm forward/backward As for the oil/fuel mixing of the 1.5 turbo, this is the official statement by Honda: - Germany/EU: The cars in Europe/Germany are not affected by this issue. - US: “The 1.5 liter turbo oil dilution product update that applies to certain 2017-2018 CR-V models in 21 states in the US. The 2019 CR-V benefits from updates at the factory and is not part of the product update that applies to older models. To be clear, this is not an “oil leak” issue. The issue involves consumers who drive very short trips during extreme cold weather. Essentially, unburned fuel can become diluted in the oil over multiple short trips, increasing the engine oil level, which is recognizable on the engine dip stick. There is no oil or fuel leakage, and if a consumer drives for a longer distance, the unburned fuel in the oil will eventually burn off through the normal combustion process. Again, this is only during times of extreme cold with drivers who regularly drive only very short trips, not allowing the engine to get fully warmed up.”

Do NOT believe Honda!!!!!! I had a 2018 that tested 5% dilution 1000 miles after the "fix" (TSB) was applied. The instructions for it indicated that the fix was to BE APPLIED TO 2019 MODELS THAT WERE ON DEALER LOTS BEFORE THEY WERE SOLD. Regardless of where the fix is applied, if it doesn't work (and it didn't for me and a BUNCH of others), you will rue the day you put your hard earned money down for this car, just like I have. Google the CRV owners club forum (the forum search tool is sheet, just like Honda's 1.5L turbo) and you'll find plenty of people with this problem, including some with 2019 models. Google the 2016+ Civic which has the same basic engine, and you'll see the same thing. You'll ALSO see that it is NOT just a cold weather problem (reports from TX AZ and CA). STAY AWAY FROM HONDA!!!!!

The CR-V offers great reliability, room, value, and fuel economy, and makes everybody's top three list, if not the overall winner. I have the 2018 EX, USA version, which includes 8-way power driver's seat, and am averaging 34 MPG in ECO mode over 25k miles, with no big issues. I have no oil dilution issue, but I live in Florida, and it seems to affect a tiny percentage of cold weather drivers. The 1.9 turbo is a powerhouse (190 HP) and the CVT is tolerable. I do have some nitpicks. The steering wheel does not extend out or down far enough for me (I'm 6'3") and the seat could go back a bit further. There were some issues with the center screen not working properly at times, but a software update at the dealer fixxed that. The gas pedal is too short, stiff, and vertical for my tastes. But the seats are comfy, and the beige fabric and white diamond pearl exterior paint are gorgeous (Are you listening Tesla?). I do like the faux wood trim, and only the Mazda CX-5 is more attractive inside. The interior is the most spacious for a small SUV, and there is plenty of room in the trunk. Honda used to put a folding card table in the rear floor up to 2006, and I do miss that. There is a donut spare below the deck. The wheels are attractive 19"ers, but the Kinergy GT OEM tires are said to last only 30k miles. Handling is good and the ride is cushy and quiet, aided by a noise cancellation system. The mid-range sound system is more that adequate. The Honda sensing safety suite is comprehensive, and includes rear cross-traffic alerts. The auto-creep ACC feature sold me on the car, and works superbly in stop and go traffic, although the AEB system can be fooled at some low speed situations. It works well 98% or so of the time. The biggest downside is that it still uses GAS, and Honda is dragging its feet into the 21st Century of electric propulsion. I will soon be switching to a proper EV with 250 miles of range ASAP and leaving Honda, Toyota, Mazda, and Subaru behind, for the likes of Tesla, Volvo, Chevy, Ford, VW, Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Porsche, Hyundai, and KIA, who have seen the ELEC-TRICK light. Good review, as usual, Mein Herr!

Thorough and precise as ever Thomas. Most motoring journalists hate CVT boxes but at least you are objective not subjective and a great impressionist. A tad too American in its styling for my tastes. I prefer the HRV but Honda in their wisdom don’t put a sufficiently powerful engine in it. Perhaps they don’t want to eclipse the CRV. Let’s hope they’ve got the early problems sorted out. Inexcusable really and maybe shows why they’ve only just gone grudgingly down the turbo route. Can’t wait to see the RAV4 review as I’m currently in the market.

Hi Thomas @Autogefühl, I don't see that many German locals driving Japanese vehicles - mostly European ones - but Honda undoubtedly places emphasis on its engine build quality for the life of the car. It's the predominant factor in the decision-making process for the Asian demographic. Besides that though, Honda have the tendency to not focus or attuned more minute details, which could be small areas of how the rubber sealing sits, how they place certain controls or knobs, not concentrating on screen typography (they could hire Erik Spiekermann), and not creating more visual sensation for the main console and dashboards. Whilst I certainly see a more luxurious experience in the CRV, the other models made by Honda don't receive the same level of detail. Another disadvantage compared to its contemporaries is that they don't offer powerful engines and you will continually hear its i-VTEC wailing when it starts accelerating. This is where the German cars excel in, especially when you're jumping in a yellow taxi and you find that a Mercedes-Benz C-class taxi is the norm in Germany.

Thanks for the review; I was surprise how Honda configures their CR-V in Europe compared to the ones here in the States. Your review was helpful as I am planning to buy a CR-V in Colorado next week.

Why is it that it's the best selling SUV in the world? I often ask that case, as in this current iteration, and previous versions, it was still much worse than the competition in the likes of Kuga, Tiguan and CX5.

Stay away from the 1.5L Turbo engine if you have a choice of 2.4L engine for obvious issues with oil. They can tweak the computer but there is no real fix for it.

The CRV is a beautiful beautiful SUV. With Pano sunroof, it pisses all over competition. I'd rather buy a Honda CRV than a 1.3 DCT Auto Nissan Xtrail.

Personally I'd rather see the top of the line model reviewed. I live in Canada and I own a 2018 CR-V with the oil dilution issue. My vehicle is used in the conditions they describe as problematic but so far I have not experienced any of the problems other people are having. This is the exact title of the letter dated December 2018: "Product Update and Warranty Extension campaigns: Engine Oil Dilution" Looks if I am reading the letter right its software updates on the fuel injection, CVT, and on some complete replacement of the climate control unit. It says after the service is completed I may notice the heat is hotter at the vents during warm up and the oil level may show up above the "upper" mark on the dip stick (periodically). Honda should be replacing the dip sticks as well in my opinion. Honda is increasing the warranty to 6 years with unlimited mileage on components which may be effected. I love mine still but they better fix this and not effect the performance or economy! If anyone has had the work done please advise on the power a nd gas thanks.

Is it that difficult to design a nice looking car? Come on Japanese!!! I have great respect for Japanese engineers (in general not only in the car industry), but exterior and interior design is something they consistently struggle with, except for Mazda. This cr-v doesn’t look that bad, but doesn’t really look exciting either

I think most of the Japanese design nowdays is made in European/US design centers. Look at the domestic Japanese cars design, they are very different.

For me it looks bad and I can't see well outside, both front and rear. I was rather disappointed as was excited CR-V has a hybrid in Japan, where I live.
