I am thrilled to say that I just put a deposit on my new 2021 CRV Touring Black Edition...... I have always owned Honda’s...... I have had 5 of them.... my last one being the 2013 CRV Touring..... it is a great vehicle..... and so reliable,,...

[@CrazyAutoChris]

Congratulations on your new Honda!!

[@brettmarcus]

I recently sold my 2006 Honda CRV EX it had 236,000 miles on it. That car was amazing. One of the best SUVs I have ever owned. I will be in the market for a new CRV after the pandemic!

[@CrazyAutoChris]

That's awesome that you ran up over 200K miles on that!!

[@annaconway9733]

Bought my first Honda in 1978 and have owned many Hondas since. I recently bought myself a CRV Touring 2021 because I wanted to upgrade my 2012 CRV for the added safety features. I'm 78 and still working. Love the Hondas and your videos are sooo informative. Thanks.

[@CrazyAutoChris]

Anna, I appreciate your support and kind words!! Also congratulations on your new Honda CRV as well.

Currently driving a ‘04 CRV. I love LOVE how they run, and they’re SO reliable. I’m a college student and need something to keep up with me.PLUS they’re SO NICE. I decided touring because 😘LUXURY😩.... I’m going to buy a 2021 soon. Everything that comes STANDARD here, is a PREMIUM package on other cars!!!

I had my first CR-V and bought it new in 2018. Loved it another. So, I got the 2021 CR-V Touring edition. Love it even more! We've owned so many Hondas over the years, but my favorite will always be the CR-V!!!

Besides the smoked taillights and refreshed front bumper what else changed between the 2018 and 2021 touring CR-V

[@e.family2690]

@@leoredhook5916 Touring has an upgraded audio system, such as: subwoofers, navigation, wireless phone charger, heated steering wheel, and hands free power tailgate, driver and passenger power adjustable seats, automatic headlights, and windshield wipers that sensing when it's raining. There may be more, not sure.

[@leoredhook5916]

@@e.family2690 Thanks. So it's still missing the heated window wipers, heated second row passenger seats, optional 3rd row and the panoramic sunroof. So everything the 2017, 2018 and 2019 Canadian CR-V already had is now available on the CR-V's sold in America?

[@expressomixed7558]

Glad I found this vlog, I'm in the market for a new SUV. But torn between this CR V, the Rav 4, and VW Tiguan. Very informative vlog. I've got alot to think about. And this helped with info that I needed to know...Grateful!!!

I would not recommend getting a Tiguan, especially the R-line. My husband bought one instead of a Honda and he regrets it everyday.

@@e.family2690 why is that. I was thinking of purchasing a tiguan over a Cr-v. Care to explain the cons of a VW Tiguan

[@e.family2690]

@@abudesai3762 The Tiguan has cut off on him. There was knocking in the engine. There was bucking at time. The pick up is slow sometimes. Whenever he has a problem, he takes it in and they can never find anything wrong with it. We took it to the service department two weeks ago for not wanting to start. He pushed the start button and nothing. He pushed it again and it tried to start. Then he pushed it a third time and it started. Again, when he took it in, there was nothing wrong with it. Maybe it's just our luck. But this will be the first and last Tiguan we will ever own.

[@jimg7318]

Happy Thanksgiving Chris. Thanks for the video. I own a Pilot Elite that I wouldn’t trade for anything. Thinking about the CRV for a second car. Probably not the Touring model. Don’t want to spend quite that much so maybe a trim level or two below.

[@CrazyAutoChris]

I appreciate your support and thank you for watching! CRV would make a great second vehicle and I have also created walk around videos for the EXL and EX trim levels. Keep me in mind when you’re ready if you’re local to Cedar Rapids Iowa and Happy Thanksgiving as well!

We just purchased one of these CRV Honda's last week it was a left over 2020. So far we are just getting used to it we have always been Mini Van people so this is really different for us. So far we are loving the gas mileage we are getting and all the features in the touring model. We hope to enjoy many many years of service from this new CRV. This is the first NEW vehicle I have ever owned, we have always bought used so I hope we picked a good one!!

I’m glad that you asked but the rear seats do fold flat in this. Your dogs are going to love you for it! I’m always here for you.

[@jimd1968]

Is there a all wheel drive switch? I know the 2024 has a snow switch but does the 2021?

[@CrazyAutoChris]

No switch required to have the all wheel drive system. It's automatic and jumps on when it senses that you need it.

[@judytatreau2489]

Current 2017 has cigarette lighter site to plug in phone charger, I didn't see this on 2021 touring?

There is a 12 volt plug in the center that may have been hard to see in the dark. Sorry about that! You also have the wireless phone charger standard.

I just picked this vehicle up few days ago. It’s a nice car but interior needs a update. Command start works if your within 20ft. I personally think Honda gets complacent due to their bran reputation evidence of this not changing anything from 2020 to 2021 models.

@@CrazyAutoChris alittle of booth. Probably highway

[@CrazyAutoChris]

@@BJ-wo4mi I only ask because there’s roughly only 3 mpg difference for the highway.

[@BJ-wo4mi]

@@CrazyAutoChris I’m thinking about it like longevity performance maintenance. The hybrid is 212 hp the other one is 195. Can you honestly tell the difference.

[@AndrewJamison79]

I had a 2018 Civic and the Cr-V hybrid gets pretty close to the MPG on that. I ended up getting a 2020 Cr-v EX but did not get the hybrid mainly because the dealer did not have any on the lot and I did not want to wait for them to source one which they claimed would take only a few days but I wanted one (or needed one) sooner. If I had it to do over I would have gotten the Hybrid model and gone with at least the EX-L trim for the added features of the heated steering wheel and powered liftgate. The biggest adjustment for me was the loss of MPG going from a civic to a Crossover but that was to be expected given the size difference. Long-winded I know but the point is I am happy with the CR-V and the only few decisions I would make differently are go hybrid and one trim level up.

Was only an issue for the cold environment with short distance driving and fixed with a software update in 2019. Never had a customer with that issue in my three years

[@splendidrecordings2256]

They've done nothing to address the terrible and somewhat dangerous blind spots still exist in the rear corners with this particular design. Not good. Still has the same cheap crappy gearshift knob. The 1.5 turbo engine has had major oil dilution issues. No word on rather they worked it out? Those engines have been terrible and only offer a few more horsepower than the reliable 2.4l engine found in the LX models. Still the same great leg room and cargo space. gas mileage is fantastic for a mid-size SUV. Handles well and maneuverability is great for a vehicle of that size. The slightly darkened headlight housing is a slight improvement. Exhaust finishing is improved. Still looks the same in terms of body design going back to 2017. Overall, nothing gave me the "wow moment" in terms of improvements. I will pass on this until they come out with a whole new design. The overall Honda reliability that we've been used to in the past seems to be lacking these days. I've owned 5 different Honda vehicles going back to the 90's so I can say this with absolute certainty. My 2017 CR-V may be my last Honda until they can pick up the quality level to its past glory.
