Forget a turbo, I really just hope the 2020 model has a 2.0L engine.

[@davidb1169]

HR-V vs CR-V........I had a Honda Fit before I bought my 2018 CR-V. I didn't realize how much I missed the back seats folding up until I got my CR-V. From my understanding, the HR-V is built on the Fit frame.I think the back seats folding in upright position gives this car bonus points. It gives you much more choices to carry things. I have no idea why the CR-V as well as the other models do not have folding upright storage seat. Its a no brainer. Another thing the HR-V does not have is the 1.5L Turbo issues of the gas getting into the oi because of being Direct Injection. HR-V is cheaper, gets a little better gas mileage, does not have the engine problems, only a little smaller in size, and my favorite fold up seats. A thing about the size..........if you as the driver, only carry yourself and one passenger, it does not matter if you have a HR-V or CR-V. The difference comes in room for the back seat. In my CR-V, I ride by myself most of the time. Car is a year old and I have only had one person in the back one time. Something else to think about.

[@Andrew-sv6zq]

Nice review. I love this vehicle and I am planning on buying one, the EX model. I don't understand why everyone keeps asking for a turbo engine. First off, turbos suck. Just add more horsepower to the existing engine. Second, this is a commuter car that's suppose to get good mileage so adding more performance doesn't make sense. Aside from that, it's a pretty sweet ride. I also would miss the cd player. Yeah, cd's have been on the out for awhile, but many of us still have them and listen to them.

[@remyd8767]

Really love the look of the HRV. So clean looking. If they can just boost the power to 170 hp, it would be awesome

[@abdullahbinshahid3199]

actually honda offers hrv hybrid in japan with dual clutch transmission, 160ish hp and available awd

[@fremontpathfinder8463]

I have the 2020 Touring HRV. I love it. The AWD is fantastic. I'll be hanging onto this car for a long time. The Michelin tires are the best tires I have had on any car.

[@lesjp55]

I have a 2019. You forgot the automatic headlights and wiper speeds. This vehicle is wonderful in the touring model. Love the look of the headlights. Apple car play fantastic. Everything is so smooth. I am not a fast driver being retired and with plenty of time. Yet, I was in a car club as a teenager and like performance. I drive on Econo all the time and there is plenty of power for me. The additional speakers in the touring is important to me for sound quality. You also missed the improved quiet ride for 2019.

[@elmohead]

Comments on every HR-V review video: great car, but I kinda want it to go 1-100 in 2 seconds. They should put a V12 engine instead.

[@nightmarah916]

literally like DOES IT SEEM LIKE ITS MEANT FOE THAT, NO

[@jasons4847]

We owned a 2016 HRV EX AWD and it wasn't a 'bad' vehicle. In fact, it was quite reliable. After owning it for 6 years, we just grew tired of the lethargic engine, spartan interior and loud road noise on the interstate.

[@rwh_]

Same little 1.8 they've been using for decades now. Maybe not that much power, but way more reliable and easier to work on than any of their new turbo engines.

[@gameofthronesseason8istras215]

Everybody want turbo but its come with a lot problems

[@lynneftw]

We have a truck and a Hyundai with twin turbos. I also have an older Lexus RX330 that has POWER, and a naturally-aspirated engine. I really like the naturally-aspirated engines over turbos. Turbos are fun, but a lot can go wrong with them, too...which is pricey. As long as it has some zip (no need to challenge someone when the light turns green or anything), and GREAT mpgs (turbos might sacrifice that), I'm a happy girl.

[@hawkermustang]

My mom has a 2018. So far it's been a great car.

[@shirlenegustafson3588]

I love my 2020 HR-V. 🥰

[@petewebb6952]

HR-V Sport in Europe has 1.5 Turbo engine, same as Civic Sport. No sun roof though, no panoramic roof. If the FIT / JAZZ Sport had turbo Honda would be on a winner. Honda often seem tocall a car Sport just because of trim, but my understanding is that a Sport should be over 180 bhp.

[@DrMambo1]

Had the 2021 and returned it due to the uncomfortable seats. There’s like a box underneath the seat which doesn’t allow me to bend my legs back a bit. If it wasn’t for that, I would of kept it still. That’s where they F’d up. I’m 6ft btw.

[@marcsgrower1]

Looks like you get a better info- tainment unit in US. Here in Australia our current hrv's have a very clunky unit and because it is tilted slightly upwards, it has terrible glare from the sun. Other than that my Hrv RS (Sport in US) is adequate and very versatile. I believe the 1.5L turbo engines have oil issues like being diluted by gasoline.

[@debbiehopkins3491]

Like the looks.......but definitely needs a turbo!

[@heatherbarrett3520]

I'm getting this vehicle I love it! affordable SUV

[@beatricesiaw8776]

You forgot to state the manual driving feature! ( if anyone wants to drive the car like a stick shift/manual car, you can by flipping the two back wing buttons on the steering wheel) :)

[@dfarrell2269]

No turbo huge plus!

[@fernandovalenzuela2198]

Guys, I've done my research on the Honda HRV vs the Honda CRV and i can tell you that you're better off going with the CRV, much more space, better looking vehicle and only like a 3 thousand dollar difference. I wouldn't sacrifice

[@trkms]

@@JaggedMercenary have crv 2018 for half a year - no issues with touchscreen at all (winter glove with etouch works no problem too)

[@dant3113]

I just test drove the 2017 CRV and it feels and rides like crap. I'm going back to test drive the HRV it looks better but I'd have to see if it performs better. I know its supposed to be inferior to the CRV but we'll see.

[@Lyl321]

Make sure that you do a reasearch regarding oil dilution that 1.5t engines are having

[@Shells84]

Overly Attached Girlfriend I heard this too.

[@vedalittle4541]

ACC LKAS feature on 2019 Honda HR V is VERY UNSAFE in freeway traffic, and this is where I like to use my cruise control. I understand if I turn off cruise control AC LKAS won't engage. My purpose is defeated. Unfortunately I will have this feature disengaged. Honda should put the money used in this feature and update another feature inside the car, i.e. electric passenger seat, or CD player unit.

[@JanetSmith900]

Strongly considered this car. My friend has one and it’s a great car. But the lack of horse power was a deal breaker. Weak.

[@johnlombardi]

Great video!!!! I am holding out for the Honda anti gravity models. ;)

[@gearedtowardsautomotive]

+John Lombardi coming soon!

[@davidl4315]

I like it !!!!!!!!!! The Navigation is not on top of the dash !!!!!!!!

[@georgiodavid]

good point.

[@bobbienichols4936]

I just bought a 2019 HRV touring. Is it in all wheel drive at all times or do I need to do something to switch it over in the winter

[@sandydaraseng7832]

I like the Hrv but I Don't like remote control some time I have very hard times for me to open it

[@hamadal-bader7640]

Mine has everything except the seat adjusters are manual. Not sure why. But I guess in Canada they have different specs

[@mussalopez7979]

It looks amazing

[@gearedtowardsautomotive]

I agree! Much needed addition to the HR-V line up.

[@SonyEnthusiast]

Yea I wish I can trade my old EX for the Touring

[@KevinP32270]

love hondas.

[@MochasimsX]

I love mine!

[@macgabriel1828]

Very nice vechile, but it doesn't have automatic high beam, right?

[@ivanlowjones]

You had me up until you mentioned the same underpowered 1.8L motor from the previous generation. The new 1.5L turbo in the 10th gen Civic would make this AWD Touring trim a no-brainer choice. I would consider replacing my 2016 Civic Touring sedan if that option was available.

[@gearedtowardsautomotive]

+J High agreed

[@bernardgingras570]

J High I am very glad it has the 1.8 engine. The 1.5 Turbo is a total failure with gas leaking into the engine and diluting the oil.

[@renaissancefitness3515]

J High That makes sense. Add a 1.5T to our HR-V’s and either raise the price or cut into CR-V sales. Genius!

[@ivanlowjones]

@@renaissancefitness3515 My suggestion was simply adding the Civics 1.5L turbo motor to only the top trim Touring HR-V. Had I known your financial situation was teetering on the precipice of ruin and being forced to choose between a top trim HR-V and the lowest trim CR-V would shove you into the abyss of abject poverty, I never would've made such a reasonable conjecture. Amazingly the reviewer himself seconded my suggestion, so....🤨🤨🤨

[@renaissancefitness3515]

J High Fair enough, obviously corporate Honda agrees. That’s why we don’t have that option, right? Just like the people that ask us why we don’t have a “real” truck or a diesel? You can never please everyone and not every product is aimed toward you, wouldn’t you agree?

[@BenKurth]

Not bad. Nice improvements.

[@gearedtowardsautomotive]

+Ben Kurth 👍👍

[@HotSizzleTV_]

What is the difference between this and the EX?

[@ingenunis5003]

Was told TOURING will no longer be available😞?

[@ThePrototype1978]

Damn same engine as a civic 06+...sucks...

[@ingenunis5003]

What is the interior color on this called?

[@bubaah]

Why do some Hondas don't have lane watch???????

[@gearedtowardsautomotive]

Vs lane keep assist?

[@SonyEnthusiast]

If you complain about the HP in an economic, fuel efficient car, then this subcompact suv ain't for you, but I don't have trouble speeding into freeways and passing others easily in my dash cam footage. It's really not as slow as others think it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXeooneDgd2Sb9k

[@spankywienerdog2392]

DOES THIS HRV COME WITH ELECTRIC SEAT ADJUSTMENT

[@SonyEnthusiast]

Yes

[@beatricesiaw8776]

yes, but only in the driver seat. not the passenger seat.

[@KROS713]

Only with the top level Touring trim and only driver seat.

[@marcusfarcus]

But the CVT though... and a limited 60k warranty.

[@SonyEnthusiast]

But my best was 42 mpg with the cvt and no issues so far @ 50k

[@johnwatson6181]

Honda does offer factory extended warranties...

[@SonyEnthusiast]

@@johnwatson6181 no need for that. It's just a seller's point

[@brandyag]

I almost bought one!

[@erichvonmolder9310]

Why get the HR-V Touring when you can get the better vehicle in a CR-V for about the same money?

[@stuff4115]

The CRV is bigger and some people want a smaller car to maybe get around the city of or as a second car to a bigger car

[@xp50player]

Looks like an Acura.

[@donnadovico8619]

This was my first Honda purchase. I will never buy anouther Honda

[@potownrob]

What it was really missing, and still is, is a real engine.

[@gearedtowardsautomotive]

Ouch!!!😂

[@andrespinzon851]

Perhaps next time do the video in daylight

[@SonyEnthusiast]

Ok but it's fine to me since the LED headlights look great in this showcase

[@tonynes3577]

The European Asian model 2019 HR-V has a lot more standard features. (check out the videos of the Asian European '19 HR-V). Hopefully by 2020 Honda will bring it to America. For now, its a NO BUY.

[@raymondchow8722]

All the features you named are useless. Apple car play and android auto are so stupid that you ou will probably use like twice never touch it again. Power seat are the same, no one adjust theirs seata constatnly. It's one and done. Built in navigation are poop compare to your phone. Just used the extra money to buys some chimichanga or something.

[@miguelircontar]

He’s cute

[@MrsFrogmother1]

Making a video at dusk is poor planning.

[@SonyEnthusiast]

Nope, the LED headlights look great in this showcase

[@michellevargas6016]

Had to stop watching a quarter of the way in. That back bumper is a joke. Anything over 10 mph is gong to do some major damage to the hatch door. No thanks.

[@SonyEnthusiast]

But it is a winner on front crash tests

[@tc2882]

A "review" would include an actual drive -- this is, at best, a walk-around. Waste of time.

[@heidernheinreich4827]

March.12.2019 NBC news. Honda to recall around 1 million vehicles with dangerous air bags. At least 23 people dead and hundreds more injured. Man oh man. Honda's going down.

[@heidernheinreich4827]

@@longgiaochu070 of course but as a car manufacturer you have to be responsible for checking the safety of something as important as airbags. Especially if something that vital is being outsourced.

[@roberta.lofgrenjr.9182]

@@heidernheinreich4827 You must be very bias towards Honda or you work for another car manufacturer, because I have seen you comment on two different Hondas so far. And you do not compliment either car.

[@heidernheinreich4827]

@@roberta.lofgrenjr.9182 I bought a Honda Accord for reliability. Frequent headlight replacements, timing belt issues and after transmission failure I was fed up. At less than 100,000 miles I can certainly say that Honda is not the beacon of reliability that it used to be known for. And before you say it's a lemon these are frequent issues that many Honda owners faced in the 2000's.
