First Honda, First Hybrid
I purchased the 2023 Honda CRV Hybrid Sport new in January of 2023. I am very pleased with the vehicle. In Sport mode, it has all the performance I need for any driving situation. The mechanical and EV modes are seamless in their operation and driver awareness of the source of power at any time is virtually transparent and you really wouldn't know without observing the EV moniker on the dashboard. The vehicle is very comfortable to get in and out of and the seats are comfortable for longer rides. I am around 6' 3" and find the headroom and vehicle interior fits me well. With about 8000 miles on this vehicle at this point, I am very happy I purchased it for my daily drive. Most of my driving is around town and short trips of 20-30 miles or less. My last vehicle used premium fuel and the CRV uses regular gasoline. With an average of 41-42 mpg in the CRV I find my weekly fuel bill with the milage and lower per gallon cost is about half what it was during fill-ups with my previous Lexus GS 350.

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.
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.
Drives smooth
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.

Nice little SUV, with plenty of power.
My only dislike is lack of interior color options and the Hybrid has run flat tire with no spare.
Si compras este vehículo te arrepentirás…
Hola mi nombre es Joel Santamaría , en abril de este año , compré una HONDA CRV HYBRID SPORT , estaba muy emocionado por la adquisición ya que los anuncio daban mucho que desear , todo iba bien hasta hace 3 MESES el carro comenzó a dar problemas eléctricos , el motor comenzó a disminuir potencia , y en varias ocasiones amanecía sin batería sin razón algún … Y lo que más me preocupa de este vehículo es LA SEGURIDAD , aproximadamente dos semanas mi carro pude encenderlo sin llaves las puertas no querían tomar seguro , hasta que pude ponerle seguro manualmente y la puerta de conductor no quiso tomar el seguro , es fustrante está situación , y da mucha impotencia que yo allá pagado 35,000 dólares por este vehículo y que en menos de 1 año me esté causando problemas . SI ESTÁS INTERESADO EN COMPRARLO PIÉNSALO BIEN . PARA MI NO ES UNA BUENA OPCION ESTOY ARREPENTIDO DE INVERTIR MI DINERO EN ESTA HONDA CRV 2023 HYBRID SPORT . Mientras hay mejores carros en el mercado y con mejor precio . Quise probar este carro por que los anuncios llamaban mucho la atención , el nuevo modelo de caja se veía atractivo . Pero bien dice el dicho . TODO LO QUE BRILLA NO ES ORO . Y lamentablemente ahora estoy en esta situación que nose que pasará con mi inversión y me estoy volviendo loco . CUANDO UNO COMPRA UN CARRO ES PARA SENTIRSE SEGURO , PARA SENTIR QUE LA INVERSIÓN SERÁ DURADERA Y QUE VALDRÁ LA PENA PERO LAMENTABLEMENTE EN MI CASO NO HA SIDO ASÍ ME SIENTO FUSTRADO TANTO ESFUERZO QUE HICE PARA REUNIR ESA CANTIDAD DE DINERO CASHHHH Y AHORA ME ARREPIENTO TOTALMENTE . Las expectativas de este carro no son las que realmente anuncian , mi carro desde que pasó las 5,000 millas comenzó a darme problemas . PIÉNSALO DOS VECES SI VAS A COMPRAR ESTE CARRO PARA QUE NO TE ARREPIENTAS Y PONGAS EN JUEGO TU DINERO …

Still early, after 1 year
So far mileage very low, 27.5, drivers seat not comfortable yet but haven’t set seat yet. Quiet, smooth so only hoping. Vehicle seems smaller than 2018, should have bought EX-L Review March 2024, Fixed driver seat so more comfortable, mileage still low on highway driving at over 70, if a combo of lower speeds, 65, 55, and 70 get around 31, at majority of 70 speeds gets 28-29 usually, ride ok, space inside seems smaller, always fill vehicle up, so mileage may be better if empty. Goal is maybe trade for new vehicle next year with better ride, mileage, and room! Hybrid or plug in Odyssey!
Surprisingly solid and great mpg!
Great value!

A fuel efficient hybrid
With 8 months of experience behind the wheel on extended trips, in-city, and overland there is much to like about this compact SUV with a midsize feel. Foremost is the firm, responsive ride, handling winding roads with ease. Steep inclines prove to be a challenge for this engine, yet on the flats it can accelerate sufficiently quickly to keep stress levels in check. In-city driving is where the CRV excels. When I am not heavy on the pedal the electric motor kicks in and with the regenerative braking, I am getting an extra week of driving. Cargo space is the best in its class, something I definitely wanted and it has no trouble with the kayak trailer behind.

Honda CR-V
First and foremost, the fuel efficiency of this hybrid SUV is outstanding. I'm pleasantly surprised by how infrequently I need to fill up the tank compared to my previous vehicle. The hybrid technology seamlessly combines the electric and gas components, resulting in impressive mileage without sacrificing power. Comfort-wise, the CR-V Hybrid exceeds expectations. The cabin is spacious and well-designed, offering ample legroom for both front and rear passengers. The seats are incredibly comfortable, even on long drives, and the ride quality is smooth and refined. Whether I'm navigating city streets or cruising on the highway, the CR-V Hybrid provides a serene driving experience.

Poor interior quality
10,000 miles. Carpet and floor mat buckling and tearing from attachments. Dealer says they will not replace as the problems are due to design, a poor design to say the least. I wonder what else was designed poorly.

Delivery vehicle
I use mine as a mail delivery vehicle and loved the gas milage boost I got over my 2020 CRV. Also with the hybrid system brake wear has been a lot less than the gas version. I have 93,000 on mine now with no issues.

Moved up from a Honda Civic
I purchased this Honda CRV Hybrid Sport Touring 17 months ago it has 15,000+ miles on it today. Most miles are from long drives to visit family and friends from 3 hours to 8 hours away. The car is a comfortable ride. Beautifully quiet. Smooth ride. I get 35.4 miles per gallon. Three things that bug me about the car and, had I realized would have investigated another car maker: 1) NO SPARE TIRE. That's right. Honda thinks "fix a flat" is good enough for everyone. It's not, especially if you are going on a long drive with the possibility of a blow out (which I have had in past) that requires a donut to hold you until you get to where you are going. If you get into that situation with the 2023 Honda CRV Hybrid the car will have to be towed to a service station. UNLESS, like me you opt to purchase a spare tire kit from Amazon, which I have done. And when you do, you loose valuable trunk space. 2: the phone charger does not work. Whether it is an iPhone 11 or an iPhone 16 the charger does not work. Honda knows about it, the dealer knows about, I did not know about it until AFTER I bought the car. Yes you can use wires to recharge, but Honda...don't you just fix the charger?. 3: The windshield wipers on the CRV Hybrid do not wipe the windshield clean. 4: Defroster is a suggestion rather than a working option. Each one of these is more than a mild annoyance when you want to load your trunk, keep your phone charged on long drives when you are using WAZE use the windshield wipers in a storm and the defroster when the windows cloud up. And these annoyances make me wish I considered other car makers this time around.

CR-V Hybrid Not Made For Cold Canadian Weather
My dear Canadian customers. Beware! Lithium-ion batteries in hybrids or EV's do not have enough energy density to power SUV's and compensate for the heavy weight of the chassis. Aside from the low grade energy output, the batteries are extremly heavy and it adds extra weight to the small motor such as 1.5 turbos or 2.0 often found in current vehicles. The combined heavy weight from both the battery and chassis strains the motor and prevents adequate fuel efficiency or power output. In order for the vehicle to mitigate these negatives, the hybrid battery must re-generate power from a constant stop and go. This is called regenerative braking. This is only efficient in warmer climates and flat terrains. It does not work efficiently in cold weather and harsh unpredictable terrains nor does it work on highway driving where the battery does not have the opportunity to regenerate itself via stop-start driving conditions. It's fair to say auto companies including Honda have been very disengenuous with their marketing and have attempted to capitlize on the consumers persistant pursuit of better fuel economy. They don't advertise the real-world shortcomings of low grade lithium battery technology against Canada's topography and of course why would they. They are in business of making profit above all else at the expense of the consumer's lack of knowledge or shear ignorance. Just stay away until the advent release of solidstate or equivelant technology in 2030's.

Good candinate but not ready for a Hybrid yet
The 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport 2.0 had many checked off items on my list. Large enough rear storage and with the easy enough folding rear seats was even better.Many nice features. moon roof. head room in/out rear and front. simple instrument panel easy to use.no space-age digital keys to enter. But no extra driving lamps due to new body type design. Plus when I tested drive the Hybrid and punched the 2.0 it really reved-up. That was concerning to me. However since I was on a street and unable to test further but only under normal street driving conditions it was excellant for what it was built for. Need to test drive other Manufactures Hybrids with 2.0.L 4cyl gas/electric and evaluate.
Over looked handicapped needs
We love our new CR-V except one requirement was overlooked. The rearview mirror is so thick and bulky it's nearly impossible to hang the handicapped permit which is where you are instructed to do to avoid a.hefty fine when parking in a handicapped spot
Excellent SUV
I love our new 2023 Honda CR-V! What I like the most is the safety features and updated technology. I'm excited to take it on road trips this summer.

Interior was a deal breaker
Loved the updated exterior looks of the CRV but the interior was a huge disappointment.
What's happened Honda??
I bought a new 2023 CRV touring Hybrid expecting great service and a great car. To date my average MPG is just over 28 co0mpbined and Fernandez Honda service says must be your gas or the guy just smiled like it was all my fault. I only put premium fuel in it and avoid anything with additives. I've also taken it back to have the driver weatherstripping reattached. Dealer said it had slid down and I guess it must be sliding down to this date since I routinely have to feed it back on the door frame. Yesterday I notice the drivers side may was getting a hole in it! I'm retired and rarely have anything on my feet but flip flops or gym shoes. Really Honda, less than 6 month and you want me to buy another floor mat? Someone else also mentioned their electronics. At times mine has to reset itself(??) as it tell me there's an issue with the safety sensors, or there's a lag to connect to car play or switch from b ack up mode to drive. Went to another San Antonio dealer who said I needed to come by and drop it off and they would take a look. No way to make an appointment to do this, no loaners anon idea how long they would "need" my car to run it thru their shop.

BMW,AUDI,PORSCHE, MERCEDES to…honda cvr
Over the top, knew wait was time (81) to go safety, easy access but found so much more. 99% perfect, still looking for that 1%, maybe “status” or ego? Top of the line more expensive than I planned, could have bought a Tesla for 10 grand less. Every safety device and they exceed my expectations as does the performance. Looks are too common but perfect color and bigger wheels offset. I’ve always been a car guy and never thought I’d be happily driving a Honda.

2023 CRV Hybrid Sport touring MPG 30-33
I've had so many Honda cars in my life and I wanted this specific model because of the AWD and gas mileage. Here are my pros and cons... We will start off with the cons. CONS: 1) Gas mileage listed cannot be obtained. I normally got 34 with my 2018 Honda Civic Turbo. I was expecting to get better gas mileage which was a primary reason for my purchase. I'm getting 30 - 33 with this 2023 Honda CRV Hybrid. 2) Braking... this car has so many safety features that if you are on the freeway and try changing lanes, the car will pull you back into your lane and it will break without you expecting it. Its great you won't be able to hit anything but your head on the steering wheel when it decides to brake while you are looking right to start your merge and move you back into the lane you are trying to merge out of. At least the airbag didn't deploy. 3) This car has great difficulty getting up hills. It has NO power. Honda says it can pull up to 1000 lbs but I don't think it can tow anything given it crawls up any hill with a loud whine without towing anything at all. 4) The gears... I was looking forward to the snow feature but after you turn off the car and turn it back on, you don't realize it went back onto normal mode until you are sliding across the icy road. I have to remember every time to put it in snow mode when there is snow. It doesn't do this in economy or normal mode. 5) The car makes a loud singing sound when backing up. 6) No fog lights are available for this model car. 7) When you turn off the car, sometimes you don't know the car is turned off but the door locks won't work so you know you need to get back in and turn it off. PROS: 1) The ride is very comfortable and smooth for long drives. The heated steering wheel and seats are great in extreme cold weather but the steering wheel heater doesn't automatically turn back on when you turn on the car. The seat does. 2) The car is roomy inside. 3) The cup holder works for different size items.

CRV is a great vehicle
The CRV Hybrid Sport is a great vehicle. It has surpassed my expectation. It has outstanding gas mileage and surprisingly quick acceleration and plenty of passing power. It handles great and seats are firm and comfortable. Rear passengers seating and the cargo area is spacious. In my opinion, the only downfalls I’ve notice is the horn sounds terrible (not loud enough), the Hybrid version doesn’t have a spare tire and the only choice of wheels are the black 18 inch wheels. Seems to me they would’ve had at least more wheel selections as some of the exterior colors don’t look right with black wheels; there needs to be more contrast.

Nice drive but I should have done my homework
First it is comfortable and a pleasure to drive. It is attractive inside. I have the Sport Hybrid (EV). It gets 33 mpg on highway but can be over 40 mpg in town if you are paying attention. Now for the irritating things. The car charger is crap. It suddenly started charging my phone after a year but the phone has to be 'just right'. The center console has a cheap latch ... I mean really cheap. I purchased some side molding (dealer installed) and they are very cheaply made. They fall off and dealer has installed them twice. They are coming off again and I will try to put them on with 3m tape. The one major item is no spare or tire tools. I have not had a flat in over 10 years but somehow at 3000 mile had a huge cut in the tread. There was no way to add air as it just leaked out the huge hole. I then looked at trying the inflation cassette they supply with the car and realized it was useless (plus a new one is over $150). So bought a spare and tool kit. Bottom line it is a nice car, but at over $50k ... the irritation of all the little things has taken the flow off the car. In comparison, my 10 year old Tacoma has none of these issue after 130k miles.
