2023 Honda CRV | Base vs Sport!

[@ACCELER8TV]

The Honda CRV OR.... Toyota Rav 4, Mazda CX5, Ford Escape, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson or the Volkswagen Tiguan?

[@Albus_Rex]

Tiguan. Got the blacked out Tiguan Comfort line R-line for a little bit more than the CR-V sport in this video and I can see I made the right call. Even though it's just a mainline VW, people still tell me it's a great looking car.

[@tamoorkhan3101]

Lol 😂😂😂😂😂 That face !!

[@MRP4U2B]

Mazda CX5

[@elvan12581]

The VW looks great but the seats are like stone.... So hard compared to the CrV its sooo comfy

[@jaskaransingh1761]

Great review! I was one of the first 2023 honda CR-V owners in Toronto. Never got to see a video comparing the base and sports with such depth. Now it feels like I've made the right choice getting the base :D

[@davidandrews8007]

Did you watch honda help on internet?

[@teams3345]

I got the AWD, leather, and heated seats for $4,000 less than touring. And the luxury white color.

[@jalepeno89]

My wife and I have had the base LX 2wd for 3 weeks and we love it! The CVT does lack that quick get up, but that doesn’t bother us.

[@tonyz2551]

I had a 2017 Toyota 4runner before getting this one. Trust me, compared to that, this thing is hella fast for what it is.

[@davidandrews8007]

The CR-V are available while the RAV4 are 4 to 10 months delivery. We found the rear seat to be more comfortable than front seat.

[@IndraneelUpponi]

The base LX AWD in Canada priced around 45K CAD now DOES NOT have heated steering wheel, Blind spot monitoring and Rear cross traffic alert. Somebody needs to go and shake up Honda Canada on their crazy pricing.

[@multistyle6405]

Wish you compared the honda sensing features, blind spot system, etc

[@teslanick1]

Nice review. Just bought One today (The base model-White) Total 40 950 $ cnd

[@rouvem12]

Love the music intros you guys do with your videos!

[@Leostan]

Tail lights would've been a deal breaker for me if I wouldn't noticed till I got home.

[@tonyz2551]

Same. Now i gotta check mine cuz i really want those taillights to illuminate not just be there for decoration.

[@plightn]

Black looks very sleek but always looks dusty :( Think I'd rather have the passport with that sweet sounding v6!

[@R56Cooper]

Hi ACCELER8, thanks for the CRV review! Question: How does Honda's adaptive cruise + lane centering compare with KIA/Hyundai's Highway Driving Assist system? Thanks!

[@XxCremeDeLaCreme]

This video was great! Informative and entertaining! thank you! 🎉😊

[@stephenr6194]

What a ripoff..made in Ontario still charging Canadian $2000 for shipping👎👎👎

[@ahsanmalik1013]

I agree since it is being assembled at Ontario plant.

[@Aspireonthego]

Despite the $4k price difference, the Sport seems like the better value here with the added sunroof, power tailgate, alloy wheels, power driver's seat adjustment, heated leather steering wheel etc.

[@Aspireonthego]

Also was a good thing they did without the panoramic roof, it was prone to leaks etc on the last gen.

[@davidandrews8007]

The Passport is higher and harder to get into. I purchased a Grey which looked like very dark blue and no extra paint charge.

[@genriozman5208]

Tailgate opening sound is like my $50 microwave

[@ACCELER8TV]

LOL

[@kchristopher687]

Nice review as always. They should have put the 12.3 inch screen that’s in the new accord, in the top CR-V trims.

[@Robert.Lee1989]

And the pilot, they charge $65,000CDN for the black edition and no 12” screen

[@housbinpharteen7445]

why dont the fwd rear lights light up like the sport model? i ordered the fwd model .. now i am curious........ i am buying black rims like the sport and using the steel rims for winters ...

[@Yeah_Buoy]

Great video. Very well done 👏

[@Ajith984]

I bought an LX version AWD. The vehicle price was 37k+, but the final price came to 47k+ I feel like I should have gone for Sport version but it would be additional 4k.

[@riteshkaushik8035]

I want to buy LX AWD . Please do let me know if it's worth the price. Ps- I'm trading my hybrid Toyota corolla. Is it a good move to go from hybrid to regular gas car. What's the actual real life fuel eficiency you are getting?

[@Ajith984]

@@riteshkaushik8035 Car is really good. Its big and comfortable. LX don’t have the alloys, electric seat adjustments, electric trunk closing etc.

[@riteshkaushik8035]

@@Ajith984 thanks for the reply Ajith. Rims is something we can buy after market. So in terms of engine and most of safety features wise , LX is quite affordable I guess.

[@Ajith984]

@@riteshkaushik8035 yes. please visit a showroom, have a look around and a testdrive if possible.

[@tigersjk2558]

10k more than the listed price?!

[@graetorres1288]

I bet most people hate the LX because of those hubcaps. I wonder why the last generation LX had alloys?

[@akashpatelwave3]

100% true. I also buy to think LX AWD but because of Tire Hubcaps I don't like to buy. And thinking to buy Sportage 2023

[@tonyz2551]

Thats why i got the EX. Hell to the no was i gonna deal with those damn hubcaps again.

[@mikegill7738]

This guy is funny. I subscribed

[@AndrewJamison79]

the US sport model does have usb in the back in the US only the 2 hybrid models have rear usb

[@ACCELER8TV]

So strange! We’ll be reviewing the Hybrid soon.

[@Born-confused]

And for the front seats, remove the headrest and adjust the backrest of the seat all the way back/down and you can sit in the back seat in your very comfortable lounge chair. ;) ;)

[@10tenman10]

I think the 1.5L turbo engine is just a bit too small for a vehicle this size. It just has to work harder to run.

[@alex.vmo1]

Welcome to Honda lol

[@thaddeus46]

And on top of that they turbocharged that little engine. Not good for engine life.

[@10tenman10]

@Ran Brainhole Forgot about that. I don't like these features on the basis of performance and reliability.

[@Albus_Rex]

Similar spec Tiguan has a panoramic sunroof and a real 8 speed transmission, plus I'd argue the digital cockpit from the VW is better because it's practically from an Audi just less fancy. I'm biased though because I own a tiguan and love it. The reliability of the CR-V is probably stellar though. The curse of loving German cars is following the maintenance schedule to the letter.

[@lennygarrison6836]

And even after spending tons of money following that maintenance schedule, European cars are still mostly unreliable. Especially when it comes to their electrical systems.

[@tigersjk2558]

VW is for old men

[@elvan12581]

And the VW drives like you are sitting on a pile of rocks

[@Albus_Rex]

@@elvan12581 Can't say I've experienced that in 1.5 years of ownership. I mostly drive alone, but the odd time I've had passengers they've remarked that the car was "smooth" whatever that means.

[@Albus_Rex]

@@tigersjk2558 depends on the model. See a lot of young guys with Golf GTI's for instance.

[@jules5833]

I’m super stuck… Honda lx awd or 2022 rav4 xle? And ideas for long term ownership?

[@volcom1boy1]

Im on the same boat lol

[@ellentomboc-zq3qi]

Same

[@ejayasaula]

me too went both dealership for CRV 2024 and Rav4 ordered a CRV Sport Instead. I think with $4k for a steering wheel heat, sunroof, alloy wheel etc. is super worth it will be long term owner for this unit.

[@tracey141]

Best overview! Thanks!

[@jj5515]

34k for a base model?! 😂 You can buy a higher trim in other brands. Man these mark ups are crazy 😜

[@thegoldennote258]

I got the thisnabse model 27 k may depend where you live

[@JJ-hg5gb]

Nice video and useful

[@paulpellico3797]

the ONLY reason I would buy an AWD system is IF that system was able to move power around, helping me do cornering better and if, in fact stuck, really, really get out of the situation. other than that, really, why have an awd system that just lies dead until you push for power and even then stays even to the rear wheels?????

[@BossKillerMan]

AWD just has much better traction control. All my friend that have RWD use public transit when the weather is dire here in Canada, because they've all experienced slipping/getting stuck before.

[@paulpellico3797]

@@BossKillerMan the choice wasn't RWD vs AWD, especially up there! it wad FWD vs AWD. i grew up in Chicago area and 12 inches was no big deal even back with rwd sedans in the sixties. then I for my first 65 vw bug and couldn't believe the traction with weight over the wheels!!! just wish that lawnmower engine could move them!!!!

[@prachyajunnasaksri3521]

Do you think LX 2WD or LX AWD?

[@marlynespinal7239]

I got the crv sport 2023. I really wanted the hrv sport 2023 but its not in stock they sold like hot cakes I got the crv sport hybrid better choice and bigger and I save money on gas ❤❤❤❤ in NJ

[@paulpellico3797]

i am sorry...but did you even mention the transmission? you compared steering, etc, but that CVT has got to be mentioned in everyday living.

[@ACCELER8TV]

18:14 CVT

Main difference is 2wd and awd hight ( ground clearance

[@nobatteriesincluded3968]

Finally someone admits the new crv looks like a Tiguan I still like the Tiguan better 😂 cool review nonetheless 💯

[@mdmuniruzzamankhan6812]

Looking good, go on

[@GoofieNewfie]

Excellent video. Love your review style as always. But the new CRV just isn't a good value in Canada anymore. Lack of tech and features make it a no sale for me. I wouldn't even buy this for my wife given I have to drive it too. Go get a Mazda.

[@Alisters_Adventures]

There’s no sound insulation under the hood.

[@afzalshaikh2128]

Pricing for crv whack

[@regular_user]

ANY drive-train type will brake better on winter tires. Drive-train type does not affect braking efficiency. Period. Can't stop laugh from morons that thinks different and keep using all-seasons on AWD.

[@ACCELER8TV]

Yup. That’s the point, the masses have no perception of how traction works when it comes to tires

[@SnowLion1959]

Too expensive even base model . I’ll stick with Toyota rav 4 .

[@Peace0101]

Kia shortage is way better suv

[@tigersjk2558]

Base model rim looks so bad. Honda really wants people to go for higher trim lol

Just bought a 24 model of the EX-L and its got 2 USB-c port for the back seats. Don't think the wireless charger in my phone work anymore to test the wireless charging. But I'm sure I am due to replace my phone some point the next year lol. Like that I don't have to plug my phone in for anything. Like my 22 accord lx. And was more comfortable then the accord other then the AWD was a bonus.

[@PimpSolja49]

CRV is cool. Can't buy one tho cause it's #1 stolen vehicle in Ontario I believe. Guaranteed to be stolen within 7 days of ownership! lol

Mike. Like Andrea and Zack on their “Motormouth” reviews you both are quoting the New CRV’s for 23 without tacking on the “delivery charge” for another whopping $1950. I know because I leased one three weeks ago and I did notice that charge. You are quoting the “Honda.ca” price you see for each trim on their website. They like Mazda conveniently leave out the destination charge. I wonder why eh? Go figure. Well that pun is what it’s all about & profit. Now let’s-see delivery distance Alliston ON factory to Andrea & Zack’s “ Motormouth “ Vancouver location might be one thing BUT, BUT, BUT Allison just north of TO to London ON- really, $1950. Crazy. Really is. My 23 EX-L after pricing and PST & GST in Manitoba comes in at a $52000. The top Hybrid at $59000. GULP! NO BIG GULP! The 23 EX-L went up $3300 from the 22 EX-L!!! GO FIGURE SOME MORE! You’ll need a calculator! Go Ni. So why did I lease? I did get a good price on my trade but not a penny off of the list price of the new SUV.
