This is the absolute best, most superb review of the 2023 CR-V on KZbin.

[@rlevow9581]

Great review Justin. Yours is the first video that I've watched that has gone into the "nitty gritty" of the car. That back-up obstruction detector is really cool.

[@Sohail1976]

Great review! Having a 2017 CRV touring, great daily driver and amazing fuel efficiency for a small SUV. Highly recommend for anyone planning to keep a vehicle longer than 3 years.

[@mikevaughn866]

Your camera quality is among the best on KZbin. Great information!

[@Smailhondavillage]

Thank you, Mike! We are working hard to make quality content! This comment means a lot to us!

Nice review; the best 👍 comprehensive CRV review I've seen! Honda has knocked it out of the park with this redesign. Better looking than the Toyota Rav-4. Greetings from Dallas, Texas! 👏

[@LJDOLTFaithfulone797]

I’m so glad I discovered your review. I was struggling between the Honda CRV EXL , Hybrid Sport or the Mazda CX5. This detailed review helped so much. I’m choosing this trim.

[@deirdreprewitt6432]

Would the snow setting be the recommended setting for very heavy rain driving or would normal be best?

Does the Tire Pressure Monitor show you which tire is low or does it just show you that one of the tires is low?

any update about the Accord ? Would it be redesign for 2023 model year ?!

Many Thanks for the very comprehensive review; it is the best vehicle for a small family of four persons. Could you please provide another review for the same car but with Hybrid facility.

[@MuyeedMizan]

Great Video ❤ Can you please say if the new CRV have powered folding side mirrors, that automatically fold and unfold when locking and unlocking the vehicle? Thank you 😊

No it dosen't have that. You would have to go to the German brands to get power folding mirrors.

Great review. Thanks!

[@hubertablake4086]

Great review. Just wondering any idea as to when the new Pilot will be released? Just find it very strange the new CRV is already released and no mention about the Pilot 🤔?

[@tony27ortiz]

Does this 2023 has the same problem with the oil and gas mixing ( dilution)????? I will love the answer to this question.. I have a 2018 crv and I have this problem, Honda said that the gas smelling in the oil is because it is a turbo engine car.🤔🤔.🤥🤥.

[@nupie10]

You said hoursepower is good- what about torque? Is it loud and slow or smooth and fast? How much noise compared to the sport hybred? Thanks

[@bradt6740]

Awesome review. I'm curious to see what the next generation Accord will look like.

[@rafaelverdejo1035]

Does the Honda cover come with a head up display and cooled seats?

[@danmurray5901]

Does this come standard with blind spot monitoring.

[@heyitsmarie5304]

I have the 2023 sport turbo and I LOVE IT!!!!! I don't know the letters of the model but it's the one with the turbo engine! Very sturdy for the canadian winters! I travel a lot and it's so comfortable and I feel safe. but omg such a gaz drinker!!!!!! Even on the eco mode 😅! But I don't regret buying it one bit.

[@apolofunes4299]

All of them come with the turbo, except the hybrid obviously

[@tamschannel7357]

You did a great job!

Thank you Justin we are from Brownsville Texas we are test drive it on Monday or will be buying a Kona

[@barrybeyer765]

Waiting on my new CRV EXL to be built next week. A guy pulled in front of me last Wednesday and I totaled my 2016 CRV EXL but no injuries just dealing with the seal belt strain on chest and knee hitting the dash.

[@Fadic4]

Thanks for the great video! any estimates on when the hybrid will start being delivered?

[@Smailhondavillage]

Thanks for tuning in! Hybrid models are expected to start coming in at the end of October!

What is the starting price for this cr v ?

[@nicopolis7377]

Is the 2 . 0 L engine available ???

[@nithinshoji8104]

[@djo9277]

Have a 2020 LX. Have they improved the road noise?

[@Smailhondavillage]

Improved road noise! kzbin.infoAsT9yRA4b7Y?feature=share

[@Fadic4]

I was hoping the instrument cluster would show you the vehicle and what lights are in the exterior like the new Civic does.

[@richardli5530]

Why would you care how a 2023 CRV looks knowing that it will come with a 1.5 turbo engine with oil dilution? Have they fix that problem yet? I know because my 2019 CRV has oil dilution problem. Apparently, the problem runs from 2017 to 2022. That engine is not going to last.

[@keithdmaust1854]

Hey, did Honda redesign the $1,500 repair of the metal water tube that rots out in a couple years? My daughter, who's a single mom just had to have her CRV in for a week-long repair after the tube ruptured. Quality Honda engineering of planned obsolescence.

[@Topside27]

Is built-in navigation an "option" for the EX-L trim?

[@Smailhondavillage]

There is no built-in navigation system for the EX-L but Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allow you to use the navigation system on your phone! The Sport Touring Hybrid model will have the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System as standard.

[@ofcbob6391]

Justin has the best demo on the intraweb. I think Honda dropped the ball on a few items here: on folding the back seats down from the hatch, there are no pull levers inside the trunk area to assist, had that for many, many years previously. And the rear seats won't go down flat for sliding a large item in from the back, will have to have help lifting it over the hump. No USB plugs in the back seat area for passengers. No roof rails on the EX-L? Sunglass holder between the visors no longer has the rear passenger view mirror (for moms to watch the kids back there). No universal garage door opener up top in the EX-L and the power seat in same doesn't move up or down! C'mon Honda, you could have beat the pants off all the competition in this class.

Very good job. Your did your homework. Thanks

[@mihajlolakicevic2631]

Hi and Thank you for the review. However, with all due respect, you should be frank about the insufficient engine power for such a vehicle. I have right now 2020 CR-V AWD Sport and I am so disappointed with how the car is coping with the acceleration at lower rpms and speed. It's just screaming and doing nothing, very sad.

[@cindicramer199]

Do you think the 23 Pilot will be the same inside ?

[@GENIUSA1A]

Probably very similar. Maybe a few more small things since it's a more expensive car.

[@marshaclifton1535]

What makes you think those seats fold "flat"???????

[@JohnDretired]

You should have asked for directions to the nearest strip joint.

[@pilot2020]

Why did they get rid of the back seat mirror on the sunglasses holder

Ive been waiting for the 2023 to trade my 2021 AWD CR-V for a Hybrid, but after seeing the 2023......I think im gonna keep my 2021 model CR-V.

[@toronado455]

What does "America's favorite" mean? I thought the RAV4 was the best selling.

Best selling has nothing to do with being America's favorite. The CRV has been superior to the Rav4, since at least 2017.

Did hear that Honda doesn’t sell to car rental places, Toyota does, so it skews most sell results

[@jayjanyh2932]

At the end of the video, 16:27 you want us to come in and smell something. HaHa. Earlier, you mention at 10:08 the 1.5L turbo engine, but you don't talk about the amount of gasoline that you will smell, when you remove the oil cap. Is there a ANY smell of gasoline, when you remove the oil filler cap? Later, at 16:08 you say this 2023 CRv has the same engine/transmission as the previous generation and it "made oil". You could check your oil level every two weeks and see that you had more and more oil, but it was actually a diluted oil, because it had gasoline mixed in it. I'm leaning (get it) towards the Hybrid, because the Honda 1.5L turbo engines are designed to force gasoline into the oil. Thin oil lessens the life of an engine.
