2025 Honda CR-V Sport Touring Hybrid - Missing BIG Features...

[@oscarvela1933]

Just bought this vehicle and 100% agree...360 camera view is needed, but i have it because of its a Honda...reliable.

[@Mrtellitlikeitis]

@@oscarvela1933 if its needed? You cant drive

[@gillesthibault429]

The Canadian Version of the Sport Touring (called simply "Touring") does without the TPMS, but adds rear heated seats, heated windshield (wipers parking spots and bottom driver side) and replaces the 1.5 L Windshield Washer tank with a 4.5 L one - and a low WW indicator on the cluster.

[@Napier363]

You’re the first reviewer to show the storage space under the rear floor. All others mention no storage due to the battery.

[@TacticalStrudel]

Yeah, lack of spare sucks but that storage space is nice for stuff you always keep in the car.

[@gumpyn]

How does the sound insulation compare to sport touring trim?

[@richardlanier2113]

I recently heard the ecvts are better than the regular ones. I've also heard that hybrid technology has gotten a lot better. This vehicle will probably do pretty well.

[@7728abbott]

That engine has a GREAT note! Honda's the best at that!

[@703Speed]

Yes they are

[@bobbylabarre7545]

This was so thorough! Thank you!!! I can’t wait to watch more of your videos!

[@Cletus_the_Elder]

Great overview. I'll be coming back to this video if I ever pick one up. There are some styling niggles that make me want to wait to see if they get changed for the 2026 model. I would love an integrated dash cam, but that's not likely to be even an additional accessory at the dealership for many years to come. Can't get much better than a CR-V for reliability and utility for commuting and city driving, unless it's next year's CR-V model.

[@jameswalsh6131]

Great review Kenny! It is a really well equipped SUV for the $$ but the lack of ventilated seats makes it a no go for me. I would go with the Passport though which is pretty close to this one in pricing (I think). Hoping that you are doing great!!

[@703Speed]

Likewise James! It definitely needs ventilated seats

[@Mrtellitlikeitis]

Oh stop. Most all ventilated seats dont work. The best one is mazda that sucks the hot air away. Every else is terrible

[@sc4me946]

Does the 2025 CRV Sport Touring have a button to fold in the side mirrors?

[@lionintu]

Nice video man..

[@BradInStLouis]

Pedal braking works outside of B mode. When creeping in the driveway or grocery store in EV mode a speaker over the radiator plays an irritating new age sound to alert others. Very weird. Once you get lost and have no cell signal you will appreciate the vehicles navigation system. The wireless charger heats your phone way up and “treads water” (charge level just stays at same amount). There are no gears. No CVT belt. The engine mostly just charges the battery. The propulsion system is a marvel of engineering.

[@703Speed]

You make a good point with the NAV.. And it truly is an engineering marvel

[@BradInStLouis]

​@@703Speed Waze showed a half hour road construction on I-70 ahead of me one time in rural Illinois. Being a genius, I took off on the country road Waze recommended. I found myself at an intersection of two gravel roads with 8 foot tall corn in all directions and two combines staring at me (I was blocking them). Waze was dead. My Honda Nav showed a lousy single line with no landmarks -- but it got me back to I-70 (right where the jam was). I had to reverse out to let the combines free. Embarassing..

[@Fadic4]

You can always download offline maps on your phone on both, google maps and Apple Maps. You don’t need cell signal for them to navigate, they just won’t have traffic updates.

[@vikrambansod5579]

Great review man. No ventilated front seat, no 360 camera and smaller 9 inch display are definitely pain points for me. I am confused between this one and Mercedes Benz GLB.

[@Mrtellitlikeitis]

Oh stop. No comparison

[@ivanvarykino8202]

Mercedes = garbage

[@Nrsesand1]

I just bought one in June and the Collision mitigation braking system showed up on my dash

[@Gergm7991]

Seriously, just our opinion but my wife and I couldn't care less about ventilated seats, panoramic roof, or some of these other silly luxuries. We just bought a 2025 Sport Hybrid 2WD (wife did NOT want leather this time) for $33,500 and it's a great value. Well equipped, high quality cloth seats, and we're averaging over 42 mpg this past month.

[@markg6605]

I totally agree with you. I really like the exterior......very sporty and aggressive looking up front. I'm considering the Touring trim which has a few more options. I'm also going to look at the 2025 RAV4 Hybrid later in the year. I don't think there will any major changes.

[@tommymas1]

Says the guy that got a 2wd vehicle. Lol... 🤪😜🙄🤦‍♂️

[@Gergm7991]

Yep, we’re retired now after a multitude of 4x4 jeeps and hardcore off-roading all around the country, including hardest trails at Moab and Colorado. Currently have full size Badlands Bronco on 35s / 3” lift and a tuned Subaru WRX AWD making V8 power, so we don’t have much need for another 4WD vehicle, especially here in the south.

[@d.a.8699]

I bought the ‘25 touring 2 weeks ago. Loving it.

[@markg6605]

@@d.a.8699 That's great. I'm going to make an appointment with my dealer next week to get one. What color did you get? Did you purchase or lease? Was your dealer willing to negotiate? The problem is that it is such a popular vehicle that they probably won't budge much.

[@lukiw7044]

I would prefer classic AWD drive not with electric engines at rear wheel. great review as alawys. Greetings

[@mlawrence2991]

Just bought the 2025 Sport L Hybrid 2WD and have been watching a ton of review videos on the different trims over the past few days. Only now seen your review and must say you are by far the best I have seen. The way you have explained things like the EV to Gas, the display panel, the regenerative braking, and the use of the B mode on the shift lever, has been awesome. I will look to see if you have done a video on my trim too but if not, you have already given me enough for what I needed to know. Thank you.

[@josephgambino9382]

I have the Sport Touring 2023 CRV Hybrid, Loving it. No dissapointment. Great features and smooth rides.

[@cindydimaggio7541]

Sport L has 18 inch wheels and Sport Tourning has 19 in wheels too! 😊

[@Bytesplice]

I'd like to see a review of the sport hybrid trim - not sure if you covered all the differences, like front/rear park assist

[@703Speed]

I have done the Sport L & Sport Touring.. I will see if I can't get a Sport - a comparison would be sweet

[@Thebuscommunityleader]

Terrific review Kenny & I consider buying this.

[@703Speed]

Thanks buddy

[@Thebuscommunityleader]

@@703SpeedYou're welcome Kenny.

[@srengorn]

For the top of the line CR-V, it should also come with HomeLink. Unfortunately, that is an additional cost.

[@thefourcornerszone4286]

Should have left the classic spare wheel/tire 🛞 on the back tailgate.

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

Great review.

[@barryroche7234]

Nice handling and good suspension. But I was very surprised and disappointed by the cheap plastic interior and lack of features that come standard in the competitive vehicles. Inside, wherever I looked I saw cost cutting and just walked away feeling that the vehicle was way overpriced. Honda you can do better!

[@evaaguilar5361]

I have a 2022 & they haven't changed or added anything properly just the speak to it.

[@davidvalois9165]

Great video and I like my 2025 CR-V Sport L. I traded a 2022 Subaru Outback Limited, and I am shocked by the number of features that I no longer have with the Honda. No built in Sat Nav, no programmable garage door opener, no heated steering wheel, no internet based remote starting, and several others. Beginning to think I should have stuck with Subaru.

[@harrysmall-cox9579]

No spare tire? What?

[@kadianh7676]

I would add automatic folding side mirrors to missing features. Dealbreaker for me.

[@kadianh7676]

Also no foglamps and a spare tire are big deals

[@michaelgrow8630]

Doubt I could learn 1 peddle driving. Nice vehicle thumbs up review. Learned to drive a stick driving a farm loader down a gravel road. Peace bro.

[@703Speed]

Haha I think you could

[@sansin6250]

Lack of a spare tire is the only factor keeping me from buying this vehicle.

[@d.a.8699]

It’s a minor travesty, but if you can afford a $40K car, you can buy a spare and only throw it in the back for longer trips.

[@Vshwdkshnh]

My OTD price with Pohanka Capital Heights, MD for 2025 CR-V AWD Sport-L White is $39.6 (Including All Taxes and Fee)

[@taozhen9750]

honda try add me 3500 on exl

[@jackschaefer7751]

No spare tire, 1 fake exhaust, and no fog lamps is a game changer for me. Really disappointing.

[@Cletus_the_Elder]

"deal-breaker" I mix up words, too.

[@rodgerpetrick6502]

If Honda wants to up their sales they need to offer their Sport Touring CRV in a no- Hybrid model.

[@FilmScape4K]

Fails the IIHS crash test. Rear seat deforms.

[@Mrtellitlikeitis]

Is the touring quieter than the sport L?

[@0jessicarabbit279]

I literally watched this entire video to find out how to change my radio bass levels :((

[@shontell3478]

press the home button to see all the apps. go to second page by clicking ( > ) on right side of screen. go to general settings click sound setting and u can adjust the bass.

[@curmudgeonextraordinaire1884]

And it’s missing fog lights

[@LeonEaves-qr5hz]

No spare tire!!!!! If I get a flat too large to fix with the included system: who comes out to replace my wheel. How long does it take them? What if I am in a different state between two small towns? I WILL. NOT BUY A CAR WITH NO SPARE. PERIOD.

[@d.a.8699]

I’ve had my license for 44 years. Needed a spare one time. Not a deal breaker for me. When I’m going on a cross state drive, I’ll buy a spare and put it in the back.

[@Mrtellitlikeitis]

It’s called aaa. Your car insurance also has towing

[@robbenson5667]

Curious, how many times have you used your spare?

[@LeonEaves-qr5hz]

@@robbenson5667 just used it recently. Nail in the tire. I travel only on well used paved roads and mostly stay in the middle of my lane. Just lucky I guess.

[@socaljarhead7670]

I had a flat tire in Santa Rosa California late last year. They told me it was gonna be three hours to get AAA out there. AAA actually actually called me back and told me just to tow it myself and that they would reimburse me. They did about two months later.

[@dougsmurray]

To have a spare (needed one 2 times in last 16 months due to nails) or not I’ll take a spare So I’m out

The only thing that sucks.. is the no spare tire!

[@RegCoulter]

Sorry, but at the 5 minute mark, you comment about storage space under the rear cargo floor, and then you actually pull up the cargo floor. This is not really the case. This cargo floor has been damaged as it is not intended to be lifted - some of the locking clips on your vehicle must be broken. Honda does not want things being placed in the battery cavity, for many good reasons. Thermal management is a prime example of why this space is normally inaccessible to owners. Damage to the battery is another reason. If you’re going to do car review, please get your facts straight before doing the video and misinforming your viewers. At the 13:35 mark, you mentioned the front wipers, but you didn’t tell your viewers that the rear wiper when washed also washes the rear backup camera. The rear wiper also comes on automatically if the front wipers are on and you put the vehicle in reverse. Nice Eh? At 18:48, you show the rear backup camera but forget to explain the various yellow lines. The lines are marked in such away that you know how close you can to an object to so that when you open the rear cargo door, you have plenty of clearance and do not damage it. Unfortunately the brake hold button, when engages, does activate the brake lights at the rear of vehicle, so keep that in mind. THe brake lights do not come either when you use the regenerative braking paddles, in any of the driving modes. This is currently a bone of contention with the IHSA. With the Sport Touring getting navigation, you now, also get a function called Predictive Eco-Boost. You set a destination in the mapping software, (you can change to any other screen you like) and the computer reviews and analyzes, the terrain for hills and descents, and uses that to better determine when it can run the vehicle on the electric motor only. This can give you an addition 5% reduction in fuel used. In Canada, our CRV Hybrid Touring (top line model) also gets two layer sound deadening glass in the windshield as well as the two front doors. Keeps things quiet. You do a good review, but manage to skip or miss a lot of the small, but important features that come with this vehicle.

[@gillesthibault429]

😂 The "Brake Hold" button does NOT automatically activate the rear lights, the "Hill Brake Assist" one (further front in the console) does, up to 12 mph. Plus: Canadian Model does without TPMS, but adds heated rear seats, some front windshield electric defrost, and replaces the 1.5 L windshield washer tank with a 4.5 L one, with a low WW indicator on the cluster.

[@RegCoulter]

@@gillesthibault429 My Canadian 2024 CRV Hybrid Touring model has a TPMS system as standard equipment. I believe also, that the non-hybrid model also has TPMS. As for the rest of you observations, all are correct.

[@gillesthibault429]

@RegCoulter Sorry. Re TPMS: My 2023 Touring doesn't have them and, according to the owner's manual, the 2025 cites is as "US Models only". My bad, I suppose.

[@supremeboy]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gl7SiJdnetepsLM That is perfect example. Woman crossing street with headphones on and didnt watch if car actually stopped. Only need one car that doesnt stop and... Car is great, i'm from EU that has better equipment but costs more.

[@davidaustin4407]

Lack of ventilated seats is holding me back from buying this.

[@Mrtellitlikeitis]

Lol

[@deccasupergold]

Engine and CVT is buzzy and noisy.

[@tommymas1]

43k for a hybrid that takes 8 secs to get to 60mph is criminal. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️🫣
