The new Honda CRV's are big, about as big as a Subaru Outback. I just transitioned from a Honda Civic Hybrid after owning and driving this Civic for 16 years - it still got 49 - 50 mpg. However, we need an all wheel drive car with a high undercarriage which will dependably always get us up our NH gravel road, a 10% grade in places, during the winter. Neighbors up here who have Honda CRV's always get up the mountain! That is our expectation. The Hybrid offers somewhat better mpg than the regular CRV.

I spent many weeks researching suitable cars for my next purchase. After careful consideration I chose to buy a Honda exl hybrid. Thus far, I am pleased with my choice. My favorite feature is the adaptive cruise control. Coupled with the lane keep assist the car technically drives itself. The leather seats are comfortable and the rear seat is huge. Currently, I am averaging 39.5 mpg in mixed driving (4500 miles). I added the crv cargo tray with the blue crv lettering. And, I purchased a crv spare tire/kit online for $400. Interior materials are top shelf in quality and appearance.The transmission is smooth--seamless really. It can get noisey though if idling in park for an extended time. If I could change anything it would be the alloy rims. The flower pattern is.......different. All in all, I am happy with the car. And, despite rising gas prices ( $3.49 in Tacoma) it only takes $37 to fill up. Compared to the 4 cylinder sedans I was driving that is a bargain. Finally, for just over $31,000 this car delivers good value especially compared to its competitors. I can't wait to see how the awd handles the snow and ice of the Pacific Northwest. After driving an additional 9000 miles since my original review, my mpg has increased to 41.2 mixed city/highway driving. And, I have had no problems with the car. Based on my experience Honda did a great job with this hybrid vehicle.

I purchased the Honda CR-V Hybrid EXL model. Only gripe is the loud noise that comes from engine sometimes if I am sitting in park. One thing that I noticed and like is that the front console area is an improvement from previous years. I have a deeper space to put my belongings and purse between driver seat and passenger side. There isn’t a stick shift in this model, I love it! It’s convenient and keeps front cabin feeling less cramped. The infotainment system is alright, I would take 1/2 of a star off for that because Mixcloud has Not been connecting. The dark leather grey seating is nice, along with heated seats. I am averaging 38+ mpg. I do hit the EV button if I am sitting in thick traffic, seems to work. Other than that not sure if I needed the hybrid? You can only go one full mile on full electric, wishing it was a bit more. I do think I purchased a great car.

2021 CR-V Hybrid Touring

We recently got this during the computer chip shortage. The Hybrid Touring was tough to find and dealers were not in the mood to deal much off sticker. That said -so far we like this car very much. Roomy, rides well, decent enough acceleration, AWD, safe and many upgrade features in the touring model. We are glad we got the Hybrid over the regular CRV for two main reasons 1) It comes with the more reliable 2.0L standard engine vs the infamous 1.5 Turbo in the regular CR-V and 2) My wife drives this mostly locally (little use on highway) and this is where the hybrid efficiency MPG shines is in under 45 MPH stop and go traffic. Take it on the highway and its gas millage is not all that much better than the regular model CRV. We hope sometime in the future they offer a Plug In Hybrid version.

Great in the City but not the best on the HWY

I've had plenty of Honda products and overall Honda is fantastic. We had a 2019 Insight which we loved for what it was... just a bit small. It always got around 50 mpg no problem. We figured we'd give the CR-V Hybrid a try. It's a fantastic vehicle for mixed driving and short commutes. Around town we get 35 mpg all day... but never 40. That's not that big of a deal. However, on the HWY this car needs to be driven a bit slower than what I'm used to. At 80 mph you will only get in the upper 20s. If you keep your speed to max 75mph you can get 30 mpg... and so on. This is a bit disappointing. We didn't have this problem with the Insight. We just did a 1400 mile road trip and the average mpg on the HWY was just a hair above 30 mpg. Honda really needs to be more truthful on this issue.... they are doing what Hyundai and Kia did 10 years ago... Other than that the car is great. It's comfortable, quiet, roomy and all around good quality. The multimedia could be better but it's usable. Apple and Android work just fine and the radio sounds good at volume but not great at low volume. We may or may not keep this car for long... Either way, it does the job.
