2025 HONDA CR-V SPORT TOURING HYBRID

[@toddleech1055]

great review, we recently bought this model, couple things i would of liked. folding mirrors , panoramic moon roof, better quality camera, 360 camera.

[@VagabondBuilds]

I hear ya, we actually spoke about these things… we would have liked to see more as well.

[@GenericAccountVLR]

I have this exact model and color, and this chick absolutely LOVES it!!! ❤ It’s extremely comfy to drive, and I LOVE the low-end torque in Sport mode - VERY zippy and plastered to the seat. Hehehe Enjoying the incredible gas mileage, too; I get an average of 47 mpg on my daily commute in DFW metroplex. AMAZING. Coming from a BMW X5 which had only 18 mpg - LORD! This is so much better. Beautiful interior, too. Nice and clean without a bunch of clutter or too many colors, and I love the haptics on the knobs. Yay, Honda! ❤❤❤

[@VagabondBuilds]

Haha, well sounds like you want to go fast.

[@GenericAccountVLR]

Great review, btw! Thank you for the great explanations regarding the eco assist and other electronic functions.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Glad it was helpful!

[@GenericAccountVLR]

Oh, yeah, and the heated steering wheel is EXCELLENT. I love this car so much and hope to keep it for at least a decade!

[@VagabondBuilds]

Nice!!!

[@Gracefullyjamie]

I also think the price point is just too high for what you get. The camera is grainy and there is not a 360 view. Heated seats are only on the butt and not butt & back. You’d just expect a little more and a little better when jumping into the 40k zone.

[@VagabondBuilds]

I totally hear ya. I am there with you.

[@SauloMogi]

I liked you, you do a good job

[@VagabondBuilds]

Thanks! Appreciate the support!

[@hypnoticgaming3141]

Very impressive! I am really thinking of buying that as my next car. I love it because it has a lot more legroom that Toyota RAV4 ❤️

[@VagabondBuilds]

Both are very good cars and hard to choose between both… good luck on your pick!

[@Chiroman527]

Nice Job on the Video. I've seen a few others, no one mentioned the Advance Regeneration of the Hybrid Battery based upon the "geography" of your Navigation ! What's Missing: Honda should have included Ventilated front seats (automatic too depending on outside temps); Power Tilt / Telescoping Steering Column which would be used in combo with an auto exit and auto entry Memory Buttons (I've had that very welcome feature on my last 6 cars (4 Infinitis, and 2 Acura MDXs, including my current 22 MDX). Did I miss if there is a HUD?; Does the Remote Start engage the climate controls, turn on the rear window and side view mirrors heaters?. I'm Looking into one of these to possibly replace my wife's 16 CRV Touring - with less than 50K Miles on it. BTW, Not a single problem with that CRV in 8 Years - still has the original Brake Pads in good condition! Just changed the necessary Fluids (Oil, Brake, Diff Oils, etc.)

[@VagabondBuilds]

I hear ya on the bell and whisper desires…. We actually thought of some just as you did. Glad we can help. No HUD. For the remote I couldn’t tell you because I didn’t think of doing so. How much are you looking to getting rid of your crv for? I am interested.

[@jordan_ochoa]

Touring should have all the options, HUD, cooled seats, and power folding mirrors at least.

[@VagabondBuilds]

I hear ya…

[@fishdaddy6105]

Please show me to find out HUD on my touring 2024 .Thanks

[@tiklemeangi]

You have all this on the Mazda cx5 premium plus trim which is less than this!

[@caroltestthewritingcycle4699]

Does the Touring in Urban Grey Pearl come with this grey leather interior? If not, what Touring exteriors/models DO come with this grey leather interior? I'm not able to find it on the Honda site. Thanks!

[@JayZJay7]

I think only black, platinum white pearl, and meteorite gray which I own comes with that gray interior. If you buy this car this is the interior to buy it provides great contrast instead of the all black.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Appreciate the question. I hope you received the help with our friend Jay.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Thanks for the response!

[@hrhthequeen2654]

Need update about engine spontaneous combustion/fire.

Are the floor mats in the trunk area included in this price?

[@VagabondBuilds]

Yes

[@brendabottini9522]

@@VagabondBuildsnot the rubber?

[@Lyly-eq5em]

So beautiful but sad because no spare tire 🛞

[@VagabondBuilds]

I agree. I’d like to see a spare tire on every car.

[@doromaner]

Is premium fuel required?

[@VagabondBuilds]

Yes, premium for hybrid

[@ThePhilosophus]

Not true. It recommended regular. Premium is not a requirement for that 204 HP. It's Hybrid.

[@Gracefullyjamie]

I’d like to see that two tone interior as an OPTION with the urban gray exterior! 😍 why didn’t Honda offer that!?

[@VagabondBuilds]

Interesting. I like my seat one color.

[@Gracefullyjamie]

@@VagabondBuilds totally understand that, but the all grey option would be nice with the urban gray :)

[@larryk1965]

Honda's dual motor hybrid system in the CRV is NOT like the Toyota RAV4 system. The CRV Hybrid does not have an electric motor in the rear driving the rear axle. It has a traditional physical awd system with a drive shaft and rear diff. Please edit the video to correct this mistake.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Thanks for the heads up!

[@MrSizewise]

Edison bulb rear turn signals seriously?!?

[@VagabondBuilds]

Haha talk about vintage right lol

[@lionintu]

They can be switched with LED in less than 5 minutes...

[@ajsoli12]

The previous gen had rear led signals. Honda does the dumbest things to cost cut. The new HR-V has full leds but the new CR-V and Pilot don’t.

[@damionjordan6616]

For the TOURING TRIM it should have all LED lighting and a SPARE TIRE also as an option…HEAD UP DISPLAY, BRDS EYE VIEW CAMERA, DIGITAL REAR VIEW MIRROR🤷🏽

[@lionintu]

@@damionjordan6616 ... ventilated seats

[@jM162007]

it sucks that honda doesn't include camera 360 on that touring hybrid!! honda is so behind!

[@v12kingV10]

very behind

[@VagabondBuilds]

I hear ya… we were thinking the same thing as we were doing the video.

[@jM162007]

@@VagabondBuilds did you know outside the American market, they sell cr-v's with surround camera system? Only in America that they deprive us customers with those useful features. Not to brag, I'm good with parking but with the camera 360 you feel confident and safer. so convenient that u actually see what is in front of you when parking. very useful feature.

[@charlietan9623]

Honda always

[@VagabondBuilds]

It’s a tested and long lasting brand

[@Raptor-bt6zp]

It’s certainly not worth 42’000 dollars

[@VagabondBuilds]

What would you say is a good price point?

[@Raptor-bt6zp]

@@VagabondBuilds a good price point would be $ 35000

[@user-tp7bl1su1y]

The shiny trim on the lower front of the vehicle looks terrible. Why would they highlight that. Makes zero sense. Loose all the chrome. Have a complete blackout package. Lose the vertices brake lights. Put frame separation between the rear doors and frame.

[@tomcat6933]

Ok

[@VagabondBuilds]

Ok 👍🏼

[@robbiejames1239]

Seems like a great vehicle, I don’t think it’s worth 40k. I’d pay 30k

[@VagabondBuilds]

They have lower trims closer to your price point..

[@2269tah]

So there is no 360 camera, no side view cameras no front view camera, no automatic side mirror retraction, no ventilated seats, no camera in the rearview mirror. no driver back pocket for back seat passenger. Why go cheap on us Honda? Plus the build quality of Honda with all of the 2024 recalls and Government investigations, you are driving me towards Hyundai and Kia. The only thing you seem to have going on is the reliability rating of Honda builds from 5 to 10 years ago. Will builds done today still be reliable 5 to 10 years from today?

[@VagabondBuilds]

That’s a good question you have and only the test of time will tell.

[@navi6341]

Rear incandescent bulb turn signals? 👎🏾

[@VagabondBuilds]

Cheaper to fix haha

[@lucindac3800]

In my opinion, Honda is making these look like a truck on the front end. I thought they were more like a family vehicle, a van. I think it cheapens the look and now hesitate to buy one. I own a Pearl White CR-V Touring, 45500 miles with a tan interior. The interior with the orange stitching is a travesty.

[@VagabondBuilds]

I like the way it looks I have to say.

[@v12kingV10]

Stole the VW tiguan exterior and stole audi interior and this js so boring

[@VagabondBuilds]

I mean, what are you expecting from Honda. They’ve always had a safer look but reliability

[@coreylucas5997]

I don’t care how loaded techno savvy this is with leather interior, rear lights do stink, exterior packing way way out of sync and over 40 grand this is no luxury offer, this is Acura twin like materials and Acura is even more overpriced and is no where near a upper quality brand disappointment for sure, I saw a brand new HRV 25 grand simple nice ok fuel economy but has majority of needs

[@VagabondBuilds]

Agreed, but wouldn’t you say that everything is increased?
