You’re the only reviewer doing the bike fit test which is my criteria for a new small SUV. I’m not an avid bike rider, but from time to time I want to just throw a bike in the back without taking the wheel off, and go to the beach or a trail. My other interest in a review is to see if the rear seats have a recline option, and if there are vents in the rear which you addressed. I’m surprised that I it’s almost 2024 and many cars don’t have vents in the rear! Thanks for the thorough review. ✌️

Taking the front wheel off is not that big of a deal tbh. I have the 2023 CRV hybrid sport and I throw my Marin Rift Zone 2 in the back with no issue. I take the front wheel off just because I rather my bike lay flat as apposed to having it lay at an angle.

The fact that they call this a compact SUV is funny. We test drove a Rav4 and the CRV both hybrid. Didn't care for the Rav4 due to many things but mostly because my husband could barely get behind the wheel. We test drove a 2024 Honda CRV Touring Hybrid on a Saturday and picked up our new one with 4 km on it by Wednesday. Rav4 would take 2 years. I've read people have to install their own weather stripping to put on their doors for the Rav 4 to help cut down the cabin noise. The Honda is so quiet and comfortable.

My dad went with me to pick up my new crv last week and fell asleep on drive home... I think due to quiet and smooth... I did notice the firmness of suspension going over pot holes.. that is what really bugged me with my Honda Accord sport... but given that I bought for $23 then traded for it crv for $16k 6 years later .. super great investment , well see how this , hybrud CRV,ends up in the future for resale value. I am guessing that some may hesitate to purchase a used one after the battery warranty is gone since they are so pricey.

Nice review, but you are forgetting few things that are important. First, when you fold down the second row is a big hump there. 2nd is not spare wheel only an air kit. If you havE a flat you will be stranded waiting for a tow truck. Third and last the transmission are constructed with clutch, so will be prone to be repaired and way more expensive than RAV4. Of course if you don’t care because you will change the car every 4 or 6 years no worries. But if you are planning for a long ownership then RAV4 is a better choice.

The horn sounds very cheesy with a high pitched sound and there is no spare tire for the CRV Sport Hybrid. A tire inflator fit kit is included instead. The rear electric battery placement is the reason for non spare.

Yet last model Rav4 is also quite square looking with hard cuts on exterior but to me it looked horrible when i saw that latest remodel. As for CRV this is first model that i actually like. Sure it does remind bit of Volvo but thats what car should look like at that price range and size. Now Honda needs to step up with cockpit display being bit more modern. Still i bought this car. Kia Sportage looks too crazy with headlights dont like that same as Nissan.

I bought this car in the hybrid EX-L which is one of only two trims for the hybrid in Canada. Beautiful car, I got the Radiant Red Metallic which really pops with the black accents. I’ve only had it a few days but I absolutely love it though it absolutely sucks that there is no spare tire and it is a very expensive. Also the drivers seat does not go back quite as far as I would like though it’s adequate for my 5’ 8” height. If I were much taller I think it might have been a deal breaker. The tech is great so far and this car feels so premium and solid and I am getting the advertised gas mileage and the car is not even broke in yet though it remains to be seen how it will be come winter. I have the 2025 and for what it’s worth they fixed the horn so it no longer sounds like a clown car horn which was just embarrassing on the 2023 I tried last year. So far I’m very satisfied though it’s only been a few days and I really look forward to driving this thing every day.

I used to own a Gen2 CRV, and your bike would have fit, with tire on, standing up with half the rear seat folded down. In that case, the spared tire was external and sothe floor could be lower, and the backopened up like a door. I currently have a 2017model. I considered moving to the hybrid, but its achilles heal is it is only rated for 500lb towing, and I use a small homeowners trailer so I can own decent milage small SUV instead of a truck. The need to bump up the towing rating back to what the ICE version is, which already was paltry.

Haha, you're right, the towing rating is pretty abysmal. I would speculate very few people are towing with these though. Honda usually does pretty good market research, and I recall with the latest Ridgeline, even such a small subset of truck buyers tow. It's certainly nice to have the ability, but I think they're banking on not too man people doing it with the CRV. Thanks for the comment though, the gen 2 CRV was such a fantastic product!

Hybrid drivetrain and build quality is great but, to me, the most impressive thing about this car is the rear legroom. It sounds lame but no other car in this segment offers this much interior space. If you have a growing family you've got to pay attention to that rear seat space. Most compact SUVs offer very little rear legroom.

So most people might be close to help. Idk for me, I keep a breaker bar, repair kits, air compressor, a Jack, a spare, and tow straps. But my suv has rear underneath storage, because there isn’t a battery in there. Not a huge deal, but that and that fact the European models have fog lights and the US model has them removed with blank spots in the bumper and blank buttons next to the wheel. They can be installed but again extra on aftermarket parts from Europe.

Have 2024 CRV AWD hybrid sport. MPG highway 41. MPG City nice suburban streets 49 MPG. Lithium batteries cargo area formerly occupied by spare tire. Current total MPG 44 combined city/highway, 75% interstate 25% backroads rural area. Good warranties 3/36, 5/60, 8/100. Ultimately lithium batteries do run down and may have to be replaced (not cheap -- supposedly$5,100😢) thus the 8-year 100,000 mi battery warranty. Ergonomically very nice. Takes a little getting used to if you drive a ten-year-old Accord -- cars changed a little since 2014 model year! Be aware some dealers add markups $2,000 or even more so find a Honda dealer who is not doing that. Have not had this car very long but so far so good.

Good point regarding batteries which makes it a disposable car for me. Toyota/lexus metal Nickle Hydride batteries may not have the same capacity but do last. There’s RX’s driving about at 15 years old with no battery issues and big miles on them. I agree with the reviewer that the RAV4 has less utility but at least it has a spare. I’ve been left stranded in a Honda when a tyre burst. A can of foam doesn’t cut it and needs replacing every few years anyway. The infotainment and tiny reversing screen are a decade and a half outdated! I agree with the reviewer about the buttons being preferable than a touch screen but Honda, please fit decent screens/satnav!!! Those things and the battery being Li would rule it out for me. I’d stick with an RX which has plenty of room with back seats down, carries a spare and is more refined and powerful. I think Honda snatched defeat from the jaws of victory with this one especially in light of competition. For some, the RAV4 despite some shortcomings, remains a more sensible choice.

Rav4 hybrid awd does better mpg because there's no turning drive shaft to the rear wheels ,on this crv as it gets older you have to worry about tranfer case oil, bearing brackets that holds the drive shaft, couplers front and back, rear dif oil,clutch packs so maintenance cost would be a lot higher than Rav4 and I'm only comparing drive trains.

There isn’t a review so far that’s showing me how the back seats fold down and whether they lay completely flat or not. On the RAV4 they don’t lay flat-they lay slightly inclined upward, which really limits cargo space.

There’s a huge bump. When these seats recline the bottom of the seat move with the back of the seat. Which offers great comfort to the person sitting down, but makes putting the seats down from the back very hard. They “click” into different positions. You’ll have to put them down from the side doors, or stretch yourself inside the car. This also doesn’t have a spare tire, instead that’s where the battery is. So, it’s probably better to store a spare tire in the back than a bike. I don’t know if all hyrbrid/electric cars don’t have spares, but this is very surprising to me.
