2023 Honda HR-V RS Turbo Review | Behind the Wheel

The HR-V RS was a little late to the part when Honda reintroduced the refreshed model in 2023. The RS variant is definitely a step up in terms of style, but the lower-trim V was already good enough. So what does this model have to offer over its lower trim? Is it the best bang for your buck? Find out on this episode of Behind the Wheel.

You have a Great Attitude and enthusiasm to creating your videos. Keep it up. Oh the review was Great too. 😂👍🏾👍🏾

[@NJohnGA10]

With the new CR-V lowest price around 2.1M, Honda is going overboard with the pricing. Sales will definitely take a toll on the coming years.

[@ac-kj9lb]

I'm from Malaysia. Your review is entertaining and good.

[@blitzpane12]

[@johnmendoza9163]

We bought hrv for my wife last year. mas gusto ko sya gamitin than my monterosport 2021 & 2019 navara. Super swabe ang handling & it's a HONDA!

[@TNGA86]

Same thoughts surprising yung handling very agile, also quicker compared to my 2017 everest. Easy lng 200kph+ for this turbo hrv. Ang sarap gamitin ibang iba driving dynamics nya and comfort

[@abuh.dahdah]

goods ba ang AsiaLink kpg turn over na ang kotse mo sayo? or matagal ang process nila?

[@jamesaquino7699]

What's interesting about how Caco and the team delivered this review is that it actually convinced me to reconsider the HRV as our family's third Honda vehicle. Didn't like it the first time, but this review is really fair, informative, and a joy to watch. Kudos to AutoDeal for exceptional contents like this.

[@pepitasam]

At more than 1.7m this HRV RS should be equipped with Bose sound system & 360 camera.

[@gerardcarpizo]

@@junrain9094 no question na good, the price is weird lng para sakin.. 1.5 CVT na priced at 1.7M. Tho sabi ni Caco may discount na 100k. Imho, I'd go with a BRV nalang then get the price difference for upgrades, i.e. suspension, aftermarket wheels, etc.

[@normanferreras3814]

To be honest I do not have the budget, but with the hefty sticker price along with the non-stop oil price hike, I would go with an HEV, maybe Yaris Cross HEV

[@jefjabs]

yaris cross HEV is at 1.6M with almost half the power compared dito sa HR-V

[@itsmeeds]

@@jefjabsthey don't get the point of why Honda's pricing or maybe each of us just have a different definition of "value for money"

[@firstonegaming3981]

The oil prices are non stop getting higher and higher. HEV or electric cars are becoming a MUST. We do not all agree for now, but eventually we ALL will.

[@jefjabs]

hybrids are definitely the future. but at what cost? you can get gasoline crossovers at 500k cheaper, use that 500k over the years to pay for the gas. its just the same costwise. plus, you are maintaining 2 engines for hybrids, the electric motor and the ICE engine.

[@cyguy32]

If the price of fuel continues to go up and it doesn't look like it's ever going down, HEVs will insulate drivers if the price ever hits 80 or 100/L. Traffic isn't predicted to get better too, so those fuel savings will pay for themselves. If you live in the provinces, HEVs don't make much sense

[@richiemareliseo7167]

Please make a BTW for HONDA CR-V VX Turbo 2024.

[@aiztoh]

I agree with everyone in the comments, it's already overboard, although it depends on the buyer, I would Still buy it, but then again, it's a bit too pricy, a bit but worth it.

[@kornblind3653]

i'll go for hyundai tucson diesel @ 1.8m 416 nm of torque. 🔥

[@brycefilmzzz]

When are you gonna review the GR86? Just askin

[@deandrekyle]

Honda's pricing are just outrageous. With their current prices, you could definitely get a better unit from other brands

[@gifted0435]

[@Mr.NM26]

yup, I second that!

[@VIPER401]

Agreed. Also the price of the maintenance

[@KimmyR3]

karamihan naman nag-mahal na talaga

[@GuntanksInSpace]

Caco brought it up right at the beginning and the Brio is very, very much proof of that.

[@brikev]

i think 1.5m is the perfect price for the rs variant.

[@ricogino]

The Honda HR-V V variant might be a better option than the RS. Same boosted engine, same performance aside from the rim size. But if you have an extra to spare, go with the RS! The mindset of “onti na lang RS na” is somehow kinda hard to justify not unless really has an extra. 👍 Great car and fun to drive for a compact/small suv. Space inside is unimaginable from the looks of it but if you’re already inside you can already say “oo nga tama maluwag naman pala”. Great review of the HR-V Chief! 🤙

[@Lulu-zv1nl]

I don't get why the center of the back seat is elevated that much when there's no tunnel bump in the middle. This make this car more of a 4 seater than a 5 seater.

[@paulodr33]

Aqua Flask should start sponsoring this channel.

[@GinoYouTube]

I still have my Honda City VX 2014 and it’s still running fantastic, I don’t think I will switch to another car brand, natatakot ako madisappoint… i don’t know if i am making sense. Previous generations of HRV were underpowered as per feedback of the owners but I have always wanted one due to its practicality (like a bigger Jazz). This might be my next car should i decide to upgrade because of its turbo engine being the same with the Civic, but not as heavy so power to weight ratio should be excellent.

[@mrcooper7423]

first and last generation lang ang may turbo sa hrv, next facelifted po ay wala na... non-turbo at HEV na lang.

[@streamingvideo6654]

Nice car! Though ingat sa overspeeding.

Comparo! HR-V vs Territory.

[@myrrahbelle1217]

matakaw po ba sa gas?

[@austinekael]

You shouldn't pay 1.7M for its practicality but for its performance and comfort. But 1.7M is too much, especially because in PH comfort and practicality is more important.

Does it have a manual variant?

[@nuk3fishydude902]

Nope

[@XGlite015]

I always liked the HRV when it first came out. It was one of the first crossover SUVs. But, it failed to become a popular choice or best seller along with its contemporaries like the Mitsubishi ASX and Hyundai Kona because they're overpriced. In this generation, there's just too many options in the crossover SUV segment now.

[@AntiJEVsInPH]

Hyundai Creta

[@rapamano]

Not true. HRV outsold both ASX and Kona lol

Guys the problem with cvts is not speed its reliability. Thats why cvts are "slow" its to increase longevity.

[@KimmyR3]

those were the old CVTs. modern CVT no longer has that problem

[@felixramos9241]

My Honda City IDSI 2007 with CVT is still working. The problem previously was owners using ATF or Fake CVTF that destroyed their CVT.

[@mikie1466]

@KimmyR3 they are adding physical 1st gears to cvt to help make them last but I haven't seen a cvt with 300k miles on one yet with no repairs.

[@dlaregleyar]

[@CaptainChristianZ1818]

2024 Feb, visited Honda and had a look at HRV and found out that Honda got left behind in terms of specs, features and quality. I mean base model at 1.3m+ sports a plastic steering wheel? No power driver seats? No digital clusters? I'd take Territory titanium X below 1.6m any day. What's worse, CVT. Not the most reliable gearbox.

[@whtsername]

kaboses mo talaga si Sick Science WTH lol

[@jomarlit]

The Vezel/HR-V was the best-selling subcompact SUV in Japan for 2022, with more than 50000 units sold. The Vezel is a common sight here in Japan along with the Toyota Raize. If more Filipinos knew the reason why the Vezel and ZR-V are both a top choice among Japanese car buyers, then your guess is as good as mine.

[@ElCachorro97]

[@Exwhorecist]

Mazda CX-30 is still overall better plus the added benefit of the free 5yrs PMS.

[@TNGA86]

Cx30 is nice, test drove this car but maliit nga lang siya tpos bitin sa space. Parang malaki pa ata Kicks. Wanted this sana pero not practical for family of 4 na may average cargo lagi. Even sa back seat hindi comfortable 3adult. Sa power nman sakto lng pero ibang iba hatak nung hrv na turbo. Pinaka mabagal yung Corolla Cross Hybrid

[@Exwhorecist]

@@TNGA86 if i wanted a car for 4 i'd get an MPV or SUV. I think of crossovers as "jack of all trades", a car for 2 that's bigger than a hatchback, taller than a sedan with SUV-like ground clearance and good mileage. Btw where were you able to test drive a CX-30? My local dealership here in Tarlac doesn't have a test drive unit available :(

[@TNGA86]

Surprisingly the driving dynamics of RS variant is superb aside from quick acceleration, try to test drive the rs to fell the car then compared to other model then you’ll see what im saying. I test drove also the emzoom R style but the hrv rs is different breed imo

@@AJRV1-lc5wz you have some valid points but were still comparing the hr-v vs the supposedly "outdated" CX5.

Mazda is already at hondas doorstep in terms of quality and surpassing it in some areas. I checked out the new civic but the lackluster design, the non availability of the hatchback version and the pricing scheme, makes the mazda more appealing to value focused customers.
