best videos i found and exactly what i was looking for, spot on and straight to the point without long speeches, great work and thank you for doing this, keep it up.

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

Thank you for your support and watching

[@nsantana11]

Totally worth it to me! 19+ Rim, premium audio, chrome accents, navigation, parking sensor (hybrids), power lift gate, roof rack and LED all around. I’ll go with the Hybrid Touring!

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

Thank you for watching!

[@saeedashirzad5842]

I already did and waiting to get mine by end of June 💃

[@lavanice]

CRV Touring and RDX base. Its so close in price with 2 L engine.

[@SarahConley]

Chris, you consistently make videos that help me make the best buying decision for my wants and needs. You're a phenomenal content creator. Thank you for all that you do! If I lived closer to Iowa, I would absolutely give you my business.

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

Thank you so much Sarah for your endless support and kind words!! I try to keep up the good work for the community.

[@AL-bj9vo]

The practical upgrades are: hands free tailgate (this is actually pretty awesome), LED headlights, navigation, and roof rails ($400+ add-on). Upgrades which are nice, but aesthetics... 19'' wheels, various chrome accents. Things I don't like... a very weak AC fan and auto-stop/start cannot be turned off (so your car turns off at every time you stop your car).

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

Thank you for watching and appreciate your endless support!!

[@TheFather_]

"your car turns off at every time you stop your car" , this is how HYBRIDs work, you hit the gas pedal, engine starts, once you lift your foot, engine turns off, when AC is on, the car doesnt turn off often.

[@daviddavid1283]

Use the s mode on the transmission always to drive in s gear and the auto turn off is disabled automatically and performance is better .The led headlights earn a safety plus rating and are worth it.

[@AL-bj9vo]

@@TheFather_ I was referencing a non-hybrid CRV.

[@AL-bj9vo]

@@daviddavid1283 Thanks, I was not aware of the S mode work around. Per the owner's manual, the two work arounds for auto stop (non hybrid CRV) is either set the AC on the lowest temp (but it can be on the lowest fan setting... which isn't bad given the extremely weak AC), or turn on the front defroster (blowing air to the windshield). Of those two work arounds, I found setting the AC to the lowest temp the best choice today (since we are in the middle of summer).

[@BCxBENJA]

Great video. Just what I was looking for. Touring seems to be more to my liking 👍🏽

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

Good choice!

[@JR-uc5oz]

You also get a movable position lumbar support, power folding mirrors (I believe) and right lane turn camera view by pushing in the turn signal button or stalk to name a few. Otherwise the EX L trim package is right for me. I'm adding some Honda OEM stainless steel exhaust tips this week. Keep up the good work!

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

Hello JR and thank you for watching!! American Honda Market may have different standard features compare to other Honda markets out there, for example Canada. Both trims have the lumbar support and blind spot information system that has replaced the Honda Lanewatch (camera on passenger mirror). Currently there's no power folding mirrors yet. I appreciate your endless support!!

[@JR-uc5oz]

@@CrazyHondaChris-H18 Sorry about the mirrors...the lumbar support (moving up and down which I didn't specify originally) appears to only be available on the touring model. My EX-L only had increase and decrease.

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

Some Honda models only have the two way lumbar support but the Honda CRV does have the four way lumber in the American Honda Market.

[@michelleaferrandino9084]

I totally want that right lane turn camera

[@FibFract]

Where do you rank the sport? Is the Sport model higher than the EX-L or EX?

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

The Sport trim is not available in the American market but is in the Canadian market. I'm not 100% familiar with it. It looks like theres LX 2wd, LX, Sport, EXL, Touring Hybrid for the Canadian Honda Market. In order from entry-level to top.

[@mariaz3886]

Why cant I obtain a CRV EX-L with RED exterior and BLACK interior. Only comes with grey interior for the red. Is there logic behind this?

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

Not to my knowledge. Just what American Honda decided to do.

[@michelleaferrandino9084]

[@patsparks5599]

Chris I just got the 2022 crv tour and discovered I do not have parking sensors. I do have the back up a camera. What does the camera behind the front mirror do? Do I need to to buy the parking sensors that Honda offers for $1380 dollars? I am 81 years old. Please help.

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

You should have parking sensors on the Touring trim (American market). There's a button on the right side labeled with (P) that allows you to enable or disable the parking sensors.

[@acastillo0319]

Is it the same thing on hybrid models? EXL HYBRID VS TOURING HYBRID

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

The Hybrids are a little different. This was one of many videos on my list to create but the inventory shortage put them on hold. Thanks for your support and watching

Please advise if the Touring model has a 1.5 Litres Engine, as well and whether the Hybrid facility is available. Best regards.

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

The Hybrid CRVs have a 2.0L engine with the electric engine. The 2017 and newer CRVs have the 1.5L with turbo 4-cylinder engine (17-19 CRV LX trim had the 2.4L non turbo 4-cylinder). Here's my video 23 CRV Sport Touring kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZTXd5aGYq-ffc0

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

I have heard about this happening to a small number of CRVs in 2018 and early 2019 but American Honda has shared that this has been addressed with a software update. Within my four years, I haven't had a customer here in Iowa share this situation yet. Thank you for your support and watching!

[@etothej]

I went with EX-L. I think if I had known about the LED headlights, I might have gone with Touring, but otherwise, it's fine. I absolutely HATE the dated infotainment system, though.

Yes, there's Active Noise Cancellation™ (ANC) and Speed-Sensitive Volume Compensation (SVC) across all trim levels. Thank you for watching.

[@docfaceful]

Just starting to look.that LX would sure get paid off faster.if i got something between the LX and touring ,I would kick myself and always think " i should of got the touring". I have to pay $1,500 for LX AWD but still $8,500. lower than touring.i will probably think LX is better choice once start paying bills

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

This is a hard one to give advise on because these are way to different trims. Comparing the (LX) base trim with the highest trim. Have you explored the CRV Special Edition or EX? something in the middle with nice features that has a huge impact on your daily experience without hurting the financial goals as the touring trim.

[@Tyro207]

Hi there. How do you enable the indicators to sequential turning lights ?

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

after doing crazy amount of research.. there's no setting or anything from Honda about this because what you're seeing from other videos is adjusted frame rates making the exterior lights show as flickering or the recording devices can't keep up with it. I run into that situation on the touchscreens when recording my walkaround videos. Thank you for watching

[@Tyro207]

@@CrazyHondaChris-H18 thanks for looking into this. Much appreciated. It’s not the frame rate we’re seeing. It’s definitely sequential. I’ve noticed it’s on Honda Asia countries like Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Philippines. Check their online brochure.
