So much better than my Hyundai Sante Fe

Great gas mileage. Just the right size for me & dependable. Honda stands by their warranty where as Hyundai doesn’t.

Many positives...Hybrid fuel economy disappoints!

Comfortable, roomy interior, and nice ride. But we bought a Hybrid mainly because of the fuel economy. So far the fuel mileage has been less than advertised and lower than its competitors! Seems like Hondas hyped "new and improved" hybrid system is not as efficient as most of its competitors based on personal experience and many other reviews. Another negative is the fact that Honda forces hybrid buyers to settle for only black wheels with no option to choose a silver wheel, even though its available on the non-hybrid CRV. Makes no sense that they could not have offered both colors. We did not care for the black wheels at all. Seems like they have taken the attitude of "this is the way we are packaging it....take it or leave it". We are waiting to see what the new 2025 Toyota Rav4 looks like, may trade the CRV.

Love my new CR-V

I struggled to give up my 2007 CR-V. I put over 136,000 miles on it. We had a best friend relationship. I have been considering upgrading to a newer model and of course it was going to be another Honda. When I saw the new body style, I immediately fell in love with it. I love my 2023 CR-V and I see a new best friend relationship again.

Very disappointing redesign

My wife has had a 2017 and a 2019 Touring CRV. It has been a good, reliable car that gets good highway mileage. She hit deer with both of them and that’s when we traded them in. I test drove the new Hybrid Touring Hybrid. I was looking forward to a quieter ride and better acceleration. I didn’t like the Black wheels, the cheap looking interior. The touchscreen looked out of place, like an afterthought. When I returned from my test drive I told the salesman I didn’t notice any improvement in acceleration, which your 0-60 times confirm. He said the extra power was mostly torque. He also said I couldn’t have a hitch like my other CRVs, because it couldn’t tow. When i said we don’t tow, we only use a bike rack he said they weren’t allowed to install a hitch. What good is extra torque if you can’t tow, get the same acceleration and only 2mpg better mileage on the highway? We are just repairing our 2019 even though it will take 3 months because of supply chain issues.

Couldn't be happier with our purchase. UPDATE: I have driven the new 2023 Honda CR-V for 3 months now, and I have to say that I love it more every time I drive it. It rides so smooth. It is the smoothest driving SUV that we have ever owned by far. I read someone's review about not including Sirius. It absolutely has Sirius installed on the radio. We were fortunate enough to get 3 free months, but after that, it is your responsibility to pay for Sirius. I just wanted to clarify Sirius is actually an option for anyone looking to purchase a new 2023 CR-V. It drives well in Snow mode. It does very good on gas in Econ mode. My recommendation after 3 months of driving one, if you are looking for a good SUV, the new 2023 CR-V is a very good option.

This honda 2033 crv exl is our fourth Honda crv. There is no comparison from the other crv's we have owner. Far superior in all categories. You pay a premium price for this crv, but you get a premium vehicle for your bucks. Great Crv Honda.

The CR-V hybrid sport is smooth ride. Has all the safety features and looks great. The back seat recline at a few steps which was an added plus. Wish the Sport trim also had the wireless CarPlay and one touch cargo opening too.

Very sluggish and unresponsive

I don’t understand the engine / transmission combo Honda uses. This car I test drove was 1.5l Turbo and it is dangerously slow. It takes solid 2-3 seconds for engine to “scream” after flooring the pedal. This needs to be electrified or something, but I wouldn’t recommend as this is deadly slow.
