I own this car (the 2023 version, which looks identical except some minor differences) and I am very happy with it. It is basically gimmick free, and everything just works well. The build quality is amazing and it feels much nicer than other cars in this segment. The back doors opening wide is super useful, something I didn't even consider as relevant.

[@scaryfear21]

Could you please share consumption figures?

[@alexanderlachmann7292]

It is the hybrid and I get ~33mpg in hilly terrain and mostly short trips. When driving more highway, it was around 35-36mpg. @@scaryfear21

[@shroomyesc]

Idk if it's as bad elsewhere in Europe but a major problem with Honda is their pricing. Toyota has rather expensive starting prices for their cars here in Finland, but Honda is way worse. HR-V starts at 37,000€. No wonder they only sold 200 cars last year to Toyota's 14 thousand (or Nissans 2,6 thousand). Honda makes good cars but they are way too expensive for what they are right now, I remember seeing Civics everywhere in the early 2000's, now I don't see any new Hondas which is no wonder since they sell even less than Subaru and Lexus.

[@autogefuehl]

Yep look my price verdict in the video

[@SDav21]

Somehow, in my country, it costs the same as a much more premium Mazda CX60 with a straight 6 3.3 litre diesel and the same as a larger Hyundai Palisade. It costs 25% more than the equivalent Tiguan, Sportage etc. It can't be justified. Hondas used to be all over the roads but these days I barely see one. Their pricing strategy is out of control. They're pricing like they're a premium car maker but they're not and neither are their engines and drive trains. I don't get it.

[@CeejaaySnow]

Honda CR-V is the 3rd best selling SUV in the world in 2023 with over 600k units sold despite its hefty price.

[@CeejaaySnow]

​@@SDav21Their pricing is justifiable because Honda is way more reliable than BMW, Mercedes, Audi etc.... the CR-V is the 3rd best selling SUV in the world behind only to RAV4 and Tesla Model Y. In the USA and Canada, Honda is everywhere.

[@SDav21]

@@CeejaaySnow Their pricing is maybe justifiable in the US and Canada where it isn't 30% more than a Rav4 or Mazda CX5 both of which are equally, if not more, reliable. You can't compare the CRV to a Mercedes, BMW or Audi. It isn't close to that level in terms of drivetrains, suspension components or technology. And it most certainly isn't justifiable being the same price as a much more premium Mazda CX60 with a straight 6 diesel and it is much smaller than a Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride. For the rest of the world, the Honda is over priced. It's price is therefore not justified and that's why Honda is fading into irrelevance everywhere else in the world. Their cars are not competitive enough to warrant an extra 30% more than it's direct competitors from Toyota, Mazda, VW, Hyundai and Kia.

[@saytamaner]

I believe you mean "texture" when you say "structure" for the surfaces of the components. Structure is something else.

Pathetic towing capacity... The engine which works well in the Civic is simply not powerful enough for the CRV.. Headroom in the rear isn't acceptable.. And far too expensive in Europe... We need a 30,000€ version like the US market .

You live in wrong continent

[@JohnyMcNeal]

I don't understand how is it that cars are so much more expensive nowdays in Europe. And it's not just Japanse brands, VW is much cheaper in China than in Europe. It's like someone is robbing us. Also European brands are cheaper in US.

[@paulo_pastore]

It's a Honda's strategy in EU, make a profit not by quantity but by margin. Their main markets are USA and China, EU market is not interested for them, unfortunately

[@JohnyMcNeal]

​@@paulo_pastore I'm not sure what it is but compared to NA market many brands including some European ones have higher prices in Europe. In last half a decade prices in Europe skyrocketed while in last decade or so they became noticeably higher than on NA market.

[@scottgabbard662]

As a total outsider, I would guess that the EU market has the highest amount of accountability and maybe liability/exposure. I’m referring directly to environmental, safety and social exposures companies face when engaging the EU market. Which is good but it is not free. Big stories of Microsoft, Apple and Google are well known but this also applies to everything else. In other words, it costs more to sell a product in the EU so it is more. No doubt it is more complicated but we’re not going to peal back those layers in a comments section.

[@yarasa2109]

20% VAT (import turnover tax), 10% motor tax and 1000-2000 shipment cost per car, more expensive employees in dealers etc. leads to elevated prices. VW car produced in chinese factory is still imported car for EU legislation.

[@cherray50]

Such a great car. Amazing price, practicality, looks, and resale value. Can't really ask for more.

Very smart design without being overstyled. Would definitely take this over a Tiguan.

[@NaviNavi-1uu8tg]

I would not because Tiguan All Space is better and Tiguan even at 200kmh speed is silent, passengers won’t even notice how fast car is going unless they see it. This one is noisy at 130kmh 😂. If you want save money buy Toyota Yaris better.

[@jdmguy44]

@@NaviNavi-1uu8tg Refinement levels are high in this CRV. Smooth and seamless I-MMD hybrid system. Tiguan has VW engineering. Poor quality designed to fail. Cheap touch capacitive controls on the dashboard. No thanks.

[@supremeboy]

@@jdmguy44 VW is quieter but everything else is horrible there. I test drive a lot compact SUV's recently including CRV, Tiguan, Kodiaq, Sportage, XC60. I dont understand how people like or can even drive new VW cars with in your face drive dashboards. Its just one big straight forward dash and so close to your face. It looks like a plane or electric car in inside. Kodiaq is same as its VW group. Sportage looks better inside but horrible build quality and ride comfort. There wasnt better choice than CRV. Unless you do highway drive every day and Live in Germany. Mixed drive i would say wind noise is ok for CRV, other cars are same. XC60 mby is bit premium but it costs way more with same extras as CRV. IF somone want to drive compact SUV over 120km/h often they should look Lexus or XC60 and pay premium. I dont think its worth thats my feedback.

Going for the FWD and regular ICE engine based on your recommendations (and others agree). Unfortunately the hybrid doesnt seem to add much on this model. And since the 4WD isnt full time on this car I dont see the point of the extra maintenance complication.

[@k.j.hulander2204]

It’s a nice car but too overpriced. For the same cost as the entry level bare-bones version here in Sweden, you could get a certified preowned facelift 4th gen Lexus RX 450h that’s fully loaded (incl. Carplay/android auto), comes with winter tyres, and that has 6-8 years of extended warranty left. Sure the used Lexus might have run for 50000-100000 kms, but considering that the extended warranty covers up to 200000 km and that the old Lexus/Toyota V6 easily runs for 400000 km, it’s not a big concern. In the Nordic market the CR-V is simply a poor value proposition, which is a pity as it’s a much nicer looking car compared to the RAV4.

I replaced my 2020 mk5 CRV with a 2023 Volvo XC60, I did not like the mk6 CRV in the test drive it felt pretty much the same as my mk5 but noisier and heavier it did not feel any bigger inside and the reverse camera quality was unacceptable it was poor on the mk5 I expected an improvement and I did not feel an improvement in the quality of the build vs the large price increase I did not like the rear light clusters either on the mk5 they were full led turn signals on the mk6 halogen bulbs I do not understand why Honda did this, the Volvo is a better car in everyway and the interior is a different class to the Honda but the same price almost.

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@supremeboy]

Where do you live? I asked XC60 new offer compared to CRV and Volvo was 7k EUR higher than Honda. That was with Honda highest package vs Volvo Mid trim and not the highest. Volvo was missing panoramic roof, heads up display that Honda had it all. Granted Volvo has better engine and quieter in high speeds but fuel economy is way worse especially in city speeds. Volvo price category with same extras as Honda is just another league. Same with Lexus, premium price tag for bit comfy ride. I agree about tailgate turn signals arent best looking for Honda, but its still better than Sportage, or Kodiaq.

You can easily get under 6/100 in the city (!) which no german SUV of this size can match.

[@autogefuehl]

The acceleration part is the most watched part in every driving part, analytics dont lie, people want to see this with priority in every review no matter for which car - thus we show what the viewers want to see. I agree that the acceleration is not the most important thing with a family car, thats why we stress the space and flexibility of these vehicles in the static interior part. For the consumption figure we take out the acceleration part and zero the consumption meter in most times, unless we drive a very very long way where it can be included without being a huge bias. We did the same here. The consumption figure we showed is a realistic one and I had a similar result with the previous version. A German SUV can match this figure or can be better with a Diesel. Even better is the Toyota Hybrid system, and my point was that the Honda Hybrid system is rather complicated but at the same time it doesnt deliver more than a traditinal hybrid system like Toyota is using, rather less. If you are happy with your CRV hybrid, great, not saying the car is bad, I love it for the space concept and the user interface, my point was just that at the grade of complexity of this hybrid system, the result is not worth the effort.

Don't buy honda. I'm owner of civic latest model. Starting from 2021 honda has sticky steering issues and honda not able to fix it. It's security and comfort issue. The issue appears most of the time after 10K kilometers, so be aware and think 10 times before buy it. Some replaced steering rack for several times and every time the issue come back. Now honda dealers and honda do not replace anything and leave it as it is.

[@autogefuehl]

Wow, what exactly happens?

[@maff257]

This happened to my 2019 CR-V driving on the motorway it would suddenly go sticky with resistance when turning the wheel left or right. I found it would stop if I switched the lane keep assist on. Weird!

[@16bitart]

@@maff257 So the defect exists at least from 2019 and they continue with production with new models?! Honda now is a junk

[@paulhenry913]

Why would you compare a German near lux product with a CRV? Of course it's not going be as quiet. Same for Toyota vs Lexus. The CRV offers a lot for the money at a decent price. Also, it looks a lot better than before

[@autogefuehl]

More to remarks and comparison Toyota/Lexus in the driving part.

[@autogefuehl]

CRV is attractive in price in the US, not in Europe. See pricing part in the video

[@Shawn-o4z8y]

way to pricey, 50k euros in sweden. i'd get an xc60 with this kind of money

[@tkr7100]

In my country Volvo XC60 PHEV cost nearly 70k euros (low spec model). CR-V is very well equipped as standard and 10-15k cheaper. Volvo has a lot of power but it's hybrid technology is poor compared to Honda. For example consumption and gearbox. Honda do not have a gearbox at all.

[@supremeboy]

@@tkr7100 True. Honda same package (higest possible) vs Volvo mid package in Estonia is around 7k higher price. Its not even funny. If i add same extras for XC60 im looking like Q5 price with a lot extras. Mby in Sweden Volvo can sell cheaper but not in my country. A lot are bringing used Volvos from Sweden because highest package costs like half lambo here as new :D

Yawn. Yet another review - among hundreds - that focuses on the high-end versions rather than the one most people will buy - the base VTi X/L.

Smaller wheels/high profile tyres better on poor roads and better for fuel economy. I would pick these ahead of larger rims.

@@spk8989pl you do not know Honda hybrid technology. Honda do not have a CVT. There is no gearbox at all. Everybody knows that direct electric motor drive is better than any gearbox. Your BMW has a gearbox and poor 48V hybrid tehcnology. Basicly it is the normal IC engine.

Do you really enjoy outdated cvt whinin all the time? Thats torture. Here in EU Honda is not existing in sales. Noone wants it. Even Accord failed 10 years ago and was withdrawn from the market because of failure competing with excellent passat and other normal cars.

In my country, final price in PHEV...74K€ just unacceptable, too much noisy, nothing special inside, seats are not the best....for 13k€ LESS I choose the CX60 254hp inline 6..after 3000km the fuel consumption is around 5,5L/100. I really not regret my choice

[@MrRaitzi]

Rav4 plugin with 4wd starts 57k€ in Finland. I negotiated medium trim to 60k€ so that is what I got. I put 1.5k€ to rust protection and sound insulation.

[@SDav21]

Somehow, in my country, it costs the same as a much more premium Mazda CX60 with a straight 6 3.3 litre diesel and the same as a larger Hyundai Palisade. It costs 25% more than the equivalent Tiguan, Sportage etc. It can't be justified. The CX60 is a much better choice.

[@MrRaitzi]

@@SDav21 Honda is made in Canada and adds to cost.

[@SDav21]

@@MrRaitzi Honda should've hedged then. Because at this price, this mediocre SUV will not be selling well other than in the US.
