2024 Honda CR-V Sport Hybrid vs Sport Touring Hybrid

[@VagabondBuilds]

These two trims from Honda are so close when it comes to trim levels, but what are the actual differences between them? Watch the video to find out.

[@Tru-i4r]

Just bought a 2024 CRV Touring Hybrid and they do not have the garage door openers anymore.

[@VagabondBuilds]

​@@Tru-i4r thanks for pointing that out. Good to know.

[@rayniziolek2468]

touring has garage door opening bottom on bottom of mirror

[@bigallis1]

Excellent comparison of the 2 hybrids. Best yet I have seen.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Thanks!! Glad you liked it!!! Appreciate the feedback!

[@s.stewart2786]

The detail and extra mile for this video is great! Keep up the awesome work!

[@VagabondBuilds]

Thanks a ton! Thank you for the kind words!

[@992.2gt3]

What a fantastic in-depth review & comparison! Thank you!

[@VagabondBuilds]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you!

[@loiseywillis3997]

Thanks so much! Definitely going with the sport touring.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@majorkursk780]

For the extra 6 grand, I would be happy with the Sport model. However, Honda CR-V also has a Sport L that has auto tailgate and better interior feature than the standard Sport. I would have preferred to see the comparisons between the Touring and Sport L .. both AWD models.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Thanks for your input. People will find this useful.

[@drewbaum]

I got the Sport L. Great middle ground from these two.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Great. Hope you are happy with your choice!

[@LostUndertheSky]

How much did you pay for yours? I’m really considering the crv hybrid awd

[@luistovar8084]

I got the Sport L and don’t regret it

[@kingdragneel7523]

I heard it’s slow is that true?

[@lllandscaping4951]

I got the sport L Paid 46,000 before taxes in California, definitely good buy and it's fast enough .

[@alimonytony]

Great review! You made it easy for me to want chose the sport touring. Is the Apple CarPlay and Android auto wireless or wired?

[@VagabondBuilds]

Nice!!! Glad we can help. I believe it needs cord.

[@adotdior]

Wireless

Awesome thanks for the video 🎉🎉🎉

[@VagabondBuilds]

Thanks for watching!

Coming from a 2018 Honda Accord Touring 2.0t, I gotta say I'm disappointed that the Touring trim lacks a hod, and ventilated seats. Also the air vents are aesthetically pleasing, but its at the cost of functionality. There's no way to clip an air freshener in the front vents. A 360° cam would've been nice as well. Other than that, it's a solid vehicle.

[@VagabondBuilds]

I have to agree with the 360 camera, but I don’t clip anything to my air vents either way, just grab a different type of air fresher that won’t put strain on your tabs from the air vents

[@J972M]

@@VagabondBuilds Any recommendations?

[@bunnynose78]

I just got the hybrid sport touring and do not have the garage door buttons on the mirror in my 2024.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Interesting, where are you located?

[@bunnynose78]

@@VagabondBuilds Arkansas. It wasn’t offered as a standard feature.

[@SmashixMetal4Evah]

Somehow, Toyota managed to add a spare tire to the Rav 4 hybrid. I got the CRV touring, but this is my main concern.

[@adotdior]

I think that’s a package “Auto Dim Mirror” also include the garage doors

[@pattymurrieta4646]

My same question for a touring and not having it That’s crazy. I’m going crazy looking for it on mine 😬

[@deftone366]

Wireless Android/Apple should be standard on all cars now..

[@VagabondBuilds]

I agree but you’d be surprised it isn’t.

[@rashadbraithwaite395]

It’s mad annoying for a top trim the mirrors doesn’t automatically close 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@VagabondBuilds]

Is that a make it or break it?

[@goththicus]

I’m disappointed that Honda decided not to include the garage door opener for my (2024) sport touring. I would think all sport touring would have this feature. They must have made a change during production.!!!!!!

[@VagabondBuilds]

Many manufacturers are making changes all the time…. But I agree, it’s one convenient thing gone.

[@goththicus]

@@VagabondBuilds after some research it looks like the home link that provided this functionality was a paid subscription - no thank you. My garage opener works fine placed on my visor. 😂

[@yordan826]

I have a 2022 Acura RDX fully loaded and I love the car but gas mileage is pretty bad, I recently bought a house an hour away from work and the fuel cost is killing me so I’m looking for something more wallet friendly and naturally I went looking for the cheaper sibling the CRV, but even though I like the new CRV for the money is outdated, with the competition I can get 360 degree cameras, panoramic roof, bigger infotainment screens, Head up display, ventilated seats etc… for the same money as the Sport Touring, I think Honda needs to add more high end features if they going to charge $45k for the top trim

[@VagabondBuilds]

I have to say, I am a bell and whistle guy and I’m trying to ball on a budget as well haha

[@johendermateo9984]

(With the competition) mention them please because I was totally lost & convinced into this, I was looking at the Highlander but is a lot more money & I don’t like how it looks

[@yordan826]

@@johendermateo9984 the Competition is the Toyota RAV4, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento for example.

[@matthewlara6622]

Yeah but the rav4 is also more expensive. And Hyundai and Kia are trash.

[@KDastmalchi]

The RAV4 will be more expensive to get the 360 degree camera, larger entertainment screen, etc.

[@AnthonyPerezR]

I drive an average of 350 miles highway use. 43 m/G. And in city about 20 miles. 45m/G

[@VagabondBuilds]

👍🏼 and your choice is?

[@pattymurrieta4646]

Do all 2024 crv sport touring have the home link?🧐

[@VagabondBuilds]

I believe it is together with the crv touring hybrid

[@Gergm7991]

Don’t need most of these fancy options. Bought the regular 2025 Sport Hybrid recently for $33,500. We’re getting >40mpg in mixed driving.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Awesome! Great decision!

[@antonedatcher4897]

Damn in Cali LA county it’s 41

[@firstaozlastaoz8212]

I hate the perforated leather which accumulates dirt. Also hate the black rims on the wheels which make the car look like a police vehicle or back in the day when people couldn't afford hub caps. Also missing on my touring hybrid was the garage door opener. I had a 2010 crv & find the new front windowsill angle puts you in the sun more baking like a cake. That said it's a comfy car, handles great with electric motor & gets great mileage abt 37mpg. Now if you could make a trashcan between the rear seats on floor that great. The technology screen is super easy to use .I would buy the car again.if they paint the rims silver.

[@VagabondBuilds]

I would recommend for you to tint your windows to shut off the sun inside the car… but I hear ya.. I believe it’s a good and reliable car.

[@daniellin3279]

how do you make lights blinking like the begining of the video

[@VagabondBuilds]

That only happens because we are filming. The lights do not do that.

[@billyrock8305]

Destroys my gas guzzling tiny RDX out of the water.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Oh yes. But they are both same company so no hate their haha

[@brianmanning9271]

Nice review though I did giggle when you kept saying butt-in.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Lol sorry!

[@edwardlisker6870]

No spare tire or donut tire available on CRV Hybrids. if you buy a spare the only place to store it takes up your cargo storage.

[@VagabondBuilds]

True.

[@PatrioticUSAmerican]

CRV's don't come with a spare tire. Say that I shred a blown out tire many miles away from any road service help or in the desert. What is to do now? This is a deal breaker for this car. No spare, no good.

[@VagabondBuilds]

You Could buy one and just place it in the cargo.

[@PatrioticUSAmerican]

@@VagabondBuilds - I know that space is limited for a spare tire to be included in the design of this vehicle but the option to have one must never be charged to a customer.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Agree

[@lillu25]

I mean you call a company that can either toe your car or provide a spare… pretty simple

[@ztekz]

Might be a deal breaker for you but not to all folks. I’ve driven and owned 5+ vehicles in span of 22yrs and have yet to use the spare tire! I get it that sometimes is just that insurance and peace of mind of having one in the trunk even if you don’t use it often…

[@scorpion-zi9fl]

They should have ventilated the charging pad because all it does is overheat your phone shutting off charging

[@VagabondBuilds]

No way!! That’s crazy. The more new things to market the more issues.

[@ebmk96]

No Satellite radio OR HD Radio in the Sport. My 2021 Honda HR-V EX FWD has both. Deal breaker and HUGE oversight by Honda.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Really? Wow. So you don’t see yourself ever buying one ?

[@ebmk96]

@@VagabondBuilds I'm not going to say EVER, but I'd rather spend my money travelling rather than having a never ending car payment. I have 2 years left on an original 60 month loan, zero percent interest with a $298 monthly payment. I'll just sit on the sidelines until it makes financial sense. Again going from a current 30 mpg combined to 38 mpg combined makes no financial sense with only 300 dollars in fuel savings. Especially since 75 percent of my driving miles is freeway.

[@lillu25]

Who listens to the radio anymore? You have a smart phone that does it all..

[@danbrowning4461]

Just replaced my 2021 Passport Touring with the 2024 CRV Hybrid Sport. Love the MPG of the CRV, performance is about the same (CRV response is immediate, no need to downshift on call for acceleration). I missed the shift lever on the Passport, got it back on the CRV. The emergency brake pedal was a pain to push on the Passport, CRV emergency brake is push button. Passport was a big step to get in and out, CRV is easier. CRV is smaller with less storage, we still were very comfortable with four adults on a week long 1500 mile trip. CRV did not like the Allegheny mountains, where the Passport excelled. CRV averaged 37MPG, Passport was 24mpg. I do miss my Sirius radio. The hybrid whistle on the CRV rocks!

[@pattymurrieta4646]

Just bout the sport Toury can’t fine the garage buttons 🧐

[@VagabondBuilds]

[@JimmyN48]

No spare on hybrids. Air compressor yes

Yea, I see that, kind of a bummer, would like the spare tire.
