2020 Honda CR-V Hybrid Review & Road Test

[@Leonardo-Studio]

Thank you for sharing. I must say, This is the first time I see a couple doing a video review of a vehicle together. I appreciate having the perspective from both sides.

[@PlanetautoUK]

So glad you liked the review, Leonardo. Stay tuned - lots more content coming up 👍

[@narniebone1332]

Test drove one today just loved it , and brought the EX can’t wait to pick it up next week , thanks for the review it is spot on .

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you Narnie, very nice vehicles and great for a long haul

[@mattsbeamer]

That car looks great. The interior is very nice, I love the wood trim too, along with the exterior colour :)

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you Matt, it’s rather luxurious and a joy to drive.

[@madonemt]

father in law just bought this 2021 version as its not a bad deal on motability.....that is if you stay away from the EX pricing on motability. sadly had to do away with electric boot, electric seats, and heated wheel which would have been helpful for him as an older, less mobile man. still a very nice car and he seems happy.

[@PlanetautoUK]

That’s good to hear he’s happy, yes motability does have its limits, thank you Madonemt

[@nickchalk7879]

Just brought one. Can’t wait for delivery!,

[@PlanetautoUK]

That’s great news - you will love it 👍

[@alanbutterfield8057]

Hi Nick, How have you found the Honda CR-V Hybrid and have you had any issues as I'm now waiting to take delivery and not forgetting how is the MPG. Many Thanks Alan B

[@PlanetautoUK]

How is it Nick?

[@stephenroberts7194]

Great review of a great car. Well done folks.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thanks Stephen - glad you liked the review 🖖🏻

[@danielerossi3550]

A very good presentation and explanation of the car by the man and the Lady as well, not always happens to see all the car's details so well described. Congrats both! The crv is amazing anyway. Hi from Italy.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you, Daniele - so glad you liked the review. We totally agree with you 😎 The man and lady are Ben & Annabelle - a married couple. Ciao dal Lake District!

[@justinholmes5614]

I’d love a hybrid Accord estate, but since they stopped making Accords this might be the next best thing ?

[@PlanetautoUK]

Yes, you’re likely right, this drives very smoothly and seeing it’s an SUV offers relatively engaging driving, also it’s economical too, thank you Justin *B

[@GruncleJohn]

Splendid job

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you Kr8tos

Interior looks great irl

It really stands out - thanks Skye!

Gracias, Ángel, ¡me alegro de que te haya gustado! *A

[@davecobb5649]

Great review. Can anyone tell me what the LED headlights are like, do they provide enough coverage?

[@PlanetautoUK]

In this gen or the latest Dave? as we have a video on the new one coming soon 😀 and thank you.

[@davecobb5649]

​@@PlanetautoUKThis gen, 2020, please.

[@sjebali]

Hello, great review 👍 I have a question: does the rear seat heat only the bottom or the back too? I've tested this crv model lately and the back of rear seats wasn't heating, the seller told me that it heats only the bottom for rear seats but I'm dubious about that

[@PlanetautoUK]

Good question, also this gen or the new one?

[@sjebali]

​@@PlanetautoUKthe exact same model on your review. 2020 CR-V hybrid. I am looking to buy a used one actually.

[@PlanetautoUK]

@sjebali Oki doki have you tested them your self in a dealer?

[@debradiane3893]

Really enjoyed this review, thank you 👍🏼

[@PlanetautoUK]

Great to hear, thank you.

[@alanbutterfield8057]

I think you have proved that Honda is the power of dreams this is a great car and I'm waiting to take delivery of the Honda CR-V Hybrid 2WD SR spec in cosmic blue as the drive and comfort levels are off the scale but the only negative you have to pay extra for the car matts. Simply a great car and Honda have sold 9 Million> CR-V's world wide that number speaks for its self. I have been with Ford for 10 years but Honda is on a much higher level across the board and that is my sole opinion. Great video guys. Best Wishes Alan B x

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you Alan, yes they offer some fantastic vehicles and there latest eHev powertrains are very good too. Keep us posted *B

[@alanbutterfield8057]

@@PlanetautoUK I will keep you updated and give you my honest thoughts on the CR-V but I think It’s better than the Toyota RAV 4 to be honest I have never been a massive Toyota fanboy but Honda caught my attention with the new Hybrid CR-V. Best Wishes Alan B ❤️👍

[@Ronald7077]

The aluminium inserts are nicer than the cheap wood appearance- features similar to Mercedes GLC which is good thing- for Uk under £40k brings in lower car tax- instead of £325 extra- downside CVT gearbox.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you, it certainly is an each to there own with trims, we like wood style trims if they’re dark enough, bias through actual wood in the C124, the aluminium makes a vehicle more sporty. Tax bands makes you see why traditional 6 cylinders are being replaced with 4 etc. The CVT is evolving, the new e-cvt in the Jazz is rather good.

[@Ronald7077]

@@PlanetautoUK Have had a second look at Honda and Test ride more likely. Many good points but rolly polly suspension and that CVT gearbox would be a concern. I have always driven German dual clutch Autos and can testify to their quality and enjoyment. Honda styling is growing on me!

[@gummigumm9762]

great review , amazing car

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you, Gummi! 👍

[@a22fc]

The US version apparently will not have a panoramic moonroof. That’s the only thing missing in my checklist 😁

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you a22fc, that is a shame, great vehicle though.

[@a22fc]

Planet Auto i cannot wait for it to be available here in the US. What is the MPG on this?

[@PlanetautoUK]

42 spiritedly to around 50 on a proper eco run

[@alheiman9525]

What size is the infotainment center. Is it still the small size like the gas CRV, or did they finally give us the bigger one like the accord?

[@PlanetautoUK]

We’ll double check, we do think it’s the same one out of the petrol model though, thank you Al

[@trabali5168]

looks great, better than the rav4 its biggest rival!

[@PlanetautoUK]

We think it’s good looking too, done some people are still undecided on the rear, thanks Trab

[@tr7287]

I was set on getting this until I heard about the RAV4 Prime!

[@PlanetautoUK]

We’ll check that out now, thank you TR

[@TekinBozbey]

And the best result is using Michelin Latitude Cross M+S All Season tires.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you Tekin

[@sonartech7721]

Why in the world did you go and rip the steering wheel out and put it on the wrong side??

[@PlanetautoUK]

It’s quite strange there’s a fair few of vehicles with this mod in the UK, however you will find the exception, one being Project P, thank you Sonar *B

[@sonartech7721]

@@PlanetautoUK In all honesty I’m completely jealous. Here in the States we don’t get the panoramic sunroofs. We just get a standard one. Whelp, guess I’m moving!!!

[@PlanetautoUK]

@@sonartech7721 you’re not missing much, it’s not like you can stargaze for hours with your seats reclined, mind you - you get the Ridgeline or basically Project P with a smaller engine. *B

[@TheEtbetween]

They don’t sell this in USA

[@PlanetautoUK]

That’s a pity - but with the way it’s going with EV’s and Hybrid’s, they may appear. Thanks, TheEtbetween

[@steveb4012]

We took a look at the CRV, sadly its C02 emissions rule it out as a company car. We are ordering the RAV 4 Hybrid.

[@PlanetautoUK]

That’s such a shame Steve - thank you for letting us know that. We need to have a look at a RAV 4 Hybrid 👍

[@steveb4012]

@@PlanetautoUK Thanks for the reply. We were very impressed with the RAV, especially as its replacing a BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe diesel which has been faultless. It is a shame that due to the Hond's higher emissions it will lose a lot of sales to the Toyota. The RAV has a long lead time as Toyota are struggling to meet the demand, I'm unaware that there is a lead time issue with the CRV. It was good to see a Brit review on the car. 👍

[@luke4701]

i paid 32 k Canadian for the touring no hybrid

[@PlanetautoUK]

How have you found it?

[@luke4701]

@@PlanetautoUK sorry paid 41 k canadian and love it rides like a Cadillac Honda reliable not my first 2 bikes a snow blower a lawn mower 2 civics and an accord

[@PlanetautoUK]

We know what you mean, they drive very smoothly, and the hybrid has some decent pull too, we love our Hondas, 2 Civics, one we still have and an Izy mulcher, thank you Luke

[@edmax2705]

Price - crazy!!!! 38k £ for what ??? 38 * 1,32 = 50k $$$ - unbelievable!!!

[@PlanetautoUK]

With 50mpg and good ole Honda reliability (plus tech, safety, and the V-Tec - the most reliable engine in the world) refinement and comfort, there’s a lot going for this CR-V. And don’t forget the Hybrid tech - yes there’s a premium for it for the foreseeable future, but you get what you pay for...Have you looked at MG? We have a comparison video if you’re interested.😎 *A

[@catalinIntimidatorul]

The car is very nice. But the interior of the car it is horrible. Subaru Forester interior it is much beautiful.

[@PlanetautoUK]

We found it very nice and well finished. We agree with you about Subaru - they have fantastic interiors 👍

[@colinlambert791]

The fake wood inlay is VILE! in reality it is a ghastly ginger colour, nothing like any wood I have ever seen. It actually STOPPED me buying a CR-V when it was launched with this revolting trim. But it all depends on individual taste I suppose!.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Exactly, that’s how we felt about some of the real wood finishes in the Phaeton, some colours suit, some don’t, dependant in trim colour.
