Honda CR-V SUV 2018 in-depth review | Mat Watson reviews

[@ehupnowthen]

We have just bought this vehicle March 2017 new costing £37.600 with every extra available sensing etc etc. I have never had a Honda always M Class Toyota Audi but i have to tell the viewers it is without doubt the best built, best ride, best practicality its the 160 bhp 9 speed auto. It is incredible to drive does everything you could need.... Unlike the reviewer it is an absolute doddle to work the touch screen sat nav phone etc not difficult at all..the keyless entry and memory seats are an absolute god send. The exon lights are incredible and when they light up the side of the road when you turn not a gimmick but very useful...If you are thinking of a Crossover this is the one its built better than all the other vehicles I have owned and whats more its a nice place to be in.

Lmao no

@@niccolomachiavelli8763 new crv is quality 🤌🏻

[@funkster2050]

I bought mine used with every extra added and looks exactly like the one in this video! In comparison to what else is out there with similar spec, it's a fantastic car. My only annoyance with it is the economy at speed. Because it's such a big car, it tends to drink fuel quickly on a run. But otherwise, a fantastic car and better than the newer hybrid models that struggle to match the economy of the diesel.

[@somevids4187]

@@funkster2050what mpg did you get and at what speed? Thanks!

[@funkster2050]

@@somevids4187 I no longer have the car. I was able to get 50mpg if I kept at 60mph on a run. My Volvo S90 beforehand could easily average 60-65 mpg at 70mph. I now own a hybrid 🙈 and that's giving me about the same economy as the diesel

[@Cameronvial]

I love the crv. Yes it may be abit more expensive than others but it is the hond quality that you pay for which is top class and is better than any toyota or Mercedes benz or vw. I would buy a crv without even thinking about it. Long live Honda.

[@greatbritain5355]

Brilliant car. I just bought the 2018 SE PLUS NAV and I could not be happier with it. Perfect.

[@datmanUK]

How is your MPG, I have the 2005 model and I’m getting 17mpg. It’s done 165k miles.

[@mylesgoward5954]

@@datmanUK Thats terrible but I suppose its much older. From a 2018 crv should be getting atleast double what your getting minimum.

[@crocop2o12]

this CR-V 4 has a perfect design specially the front, so beautiful ! unlike the CR-V 5

[@kevinprince89]

Hi Matt, I happened to spot a small error when the camera shifted over to the trip computer to display the fuel economy. The display was not that of the CRV, but i reckon of a RAV4.... 5:24 Must have been a mix up while editing the video. That said, it was a great review!!!

[@peenergysolutionslimited8903]

Just bought the manual 2.2 Diesel EX. Very nice car to drive. Entertainment system is actually really good and has a lot of features which my gadget loving wife likes. Very quiet to drive and packs a punch when you need it.

[@gsscotland]

Everyone is obsessed with diesel! I found the 2.2 i-DTEC has a fair amount of turbo lag and was also very noisy at tick over. I can't comment on the 1.6 diesel as I never test drove it but for a car this size and weight I feel a 1.6 will be working rather hard. The 2.0 petrol can still shift if you put your foot to the floor, it just doesn't feel like it because of the linear manner upon which it accelerates. It's a far more refined and relaxed drive which suits this car. The CRV was never about performance, get a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT if you want all out performance in an SUV at similar money but be prepared for woeful reliability. I do wish Honda offered the 2.4 petrol in the CRV in the UK though.

[@Android-vk8yh]

Very helpful comments because I'm looking at a petrol. Thanks

[@YasminDaP]

We have the black edition executive model CRV and we just love it. The added whale tale on the back makes all the difference to its looks. Very very comfortable!

[@hingholo8027]

what's whale tale?

[@adamditch5835]

I've got a 2.0 petrol Black Edition.. Truly brilliant vehicle.. No issues at all..

[@TheEdgesphere]

Which one is better for a 23 year old first time car buyer tho, a 2016 honda cr v, or a 2017 honda civic ?

This Car is Stunning, best Suv you can buy today. My second Honda CRV and this one is the best

[@masonmassey1956]

The infotainment system on that looks like one of them screens (Sony, Polaroid) you can get from like Halfords or somewhere.

[@Xyb3rTeCh]

Please do one for the Subaru Forester, seriously. And maybe compared it with Nissan X-Trail and Mazda CX-5. It will be a great video. Thank you.

[@turquoisecat761]

The 'Main' button is not specific to the cruise control, if you press the right toggle of the same button, you can switch between cruise and speed limiter. Nice review though Mat-la, hopefully this 160 PS diesel engine will appear in the next Civic

[@muhammedmateen4728]

I don’t mind the noise 2.0 litre petrol engine with a manual transmission but the question is is the petrol engine worth it cause the uk has this shit ULEZ that’s the reason why I don’t want to get the diesel. Any help??

[@hothippo6013]

Would be interesting to see the comparison of this car and a Škoda Kodiaq

[@darrenwilson7737]

Ignore the comment about the engine.ive got the petrol engine with 5 speed auto. It’s quiet and smooth and sounds good when revved ,I test drove a diesel it was noisy vibratey and not as good.also any more than six gears is too many. Drove an e pace jag with 9 speed it starts off in 2nd and doesn’t use all off the gears, it’s just too many.

[@trevisgamuchirayichipunza9646]

I like the entrance this guy makes on videos ,like its unique how he comes in from the edge of the camera etc

[@tcmbrown]

And this is NOT the 2017 CR-V. Unless this is the 2017 model for your country. 2017 Has a revamp to the body and interior. Even the engine.

[@touringband]

USA 2017 CRV not released to rest of world til 2018. Honda sell them in the USA first.

[@goldenknight]

The model you’re talking about is called CR-V 2018

[@Junior3z]

As mentioned.. You are talking about the American model, but! The revamp in body makes all the difference. The USA-version just looks alot better, in my opinion. =)

[@Junior3z]

If I had the money, I'd wait 'til they release it here in Norway, and get the EX with the obsidian blue pearl color-option. Damn :>

[@itsallrobbish]

The one in the States is not rebodied, it’s brand new from the ground up, looks magnificent!

[@nanaantwi8404]

When Matt touched the trainers and said "im wearing a clue" i thought he was gonna say CR stands for Christiano Ronaldo 😄

[@tbatong3983]

A question to all Honda lovers. Are the automatic gear boxes good compared to toyotas CVT for example?

[@TazBo-wd2ig]

He’s wrong about the gear Spector knob that’s only for the diesel models.

How are you liking the CR-V? any issues?

[@TheWahyuwirawan]

nice review as you always do matt.. but maybe you should test suv cars offroad so we could see more

[@Johanmikkelsen1]

What is the best car for carrying 3 in the back?

[@chrissorreda4982]

I've always loved hondas and it's no different with the CR-V. Yeah it can be a little more expensive than the competition but it's one of the biggest and most spacious CUV in it's class! Plus the almost unrivaled combination of solidity and comfort you get from hondas. I personally might opt for the CX-5 just because i like this current gen's overall package better, but hopefully the next gen CR-V gets stuff from the newer civic. That would be a gem.

Should i : Avoid Consider Shortlist Buy The crv ??

[@robertgarland9342]

Great review. I got the 2016 CRV VTI-L ( I'm live in Australia by the way) and we don't have as many of the Diesel variants here. Mostly all 2L or 2.4L petrol. Mine is the 2.4L 4WD and it's not noisy at all. The ride and handling is good. I've only used the paddles once just for a bit of fun. All in All I really can't fault my CRV and I'm really happy with it. I should have bought one years ago I think.

[@hossainrajon3823]

You should make a review of toyota harrier 2017or2016

[@martinator7]

please review the crv turbo

[@nathanaelolavio9847]

Wow, this is much better than the specs in Indonesia

[@aaronharris5275]

I'm thinking of moving towards buying a Mazda CX-5 as apparently they handle really well around corners, the 2.2 diesel engine is very quiet and some have great mpg figures/low tax. I really like Honda as a brand and may still get a CRV but to get leather seats it would be the EX model which is more expensive to tax and insure and the CX-5.

[@beckhillstewie]

I hope a CX9 is coming to UK, just for you to do a review

Petrol version for school runs or diesel I’m scared of dpf warnings.

[@pauldarby8398]

I've got the black edition 1.6 idtec, manual which has plenty of poke in it over the the petrol version. For practicality it's better then it's rivals probably not as much fun to drive as the Mazda cx 5.

[@tamamboylekalsn]

there is lots of wind noise after 100 km/h. But generally it is really comfortable and huge car as you expected

Innova is shit. I see a review and for a 300-400 million (rupiah) price range, it uses a cheap ass plastic. Thats why Toyota doesnt sell 'em in Europe. Fortuner? Well okay it's really beautiful but they lack of ESC (if you want ESC buy the 4x4), 3 airbags (seriously? for this a half billion (rupiah) car price range), rear brake is still drum, not disc (WTF?
