Exterior and interior styling very NICE, has the feel of a much larger vehicle with all the extras included. Having fun trying out all of the diving assist programs. We filled the storage area with Sam's club supplies for couple months and had room left over. Dealer upcharge was not appreciated but the dealer we were at sold the 3 they received in 2 days!!!

2023 Honda CR-V hybrid review We got ours pretty much fully loaded and have over 7,500 miles on it since taking delivery in late December. Comfortable ride for a Honda, relatively quiet interior (except when the noisy engine kicks in when not in hybrid mode) and pretty intuitive and modern interior layout. Pros: - Adjustable passenger seats - seat memory for 2 drivers - heated from seats - remote start built into remote (with option to subscribe to app based remote start and features after the 3 month trial ends) - actually fun to drive and drives almost like a civic (uses same platform) - cutover from gas to hybrid is seamless and makes no noise like a lot of vehicles - struts built into hood release ensuring an effortless way to open without using conventional “rod” - very good viewing angles when driving - very good amount (angle) of recline for rear seat passengers - love the physical click sensation using the hvac and volume control buttons! - love the orange stitching on the black seats (however if you hate orange or any contrast stitching this might bother you unfortunately) - good sized armrest storage area - front dashboard is laid out very intuitively/clearly and very easy to read - Bose sound system is good (not excellent however) and remarkably better than the base OEM version Cons: - no cool seat option - no ventilated seat option - no full lcd driver dashboard (only roughly 2/3’s) - must use premium fuel in order to get a range of roughly 450 miles otherwise with regular it gets roughly 350 on average (not mentioned in manuals or anywhere) - no panoramic sunroof option - optional accessories that I purchased are low quality (the rear retractable sliding cover for the trunk no area is thin and flimsy and the weather mats are low quality as well. - no “3D” parking mode aka view from above to show whole car - no camera when making right turn to show blind spots (some old Hondas used to do this) - heads up display option would be nice - no hard physical button to manually adjust brightness for panel displays/dashboard - no extra storage in rear below floor due to it being hybrid (bad planning or oversight by engineers) - should offer seat leg support extension for taller drivers - fog lights removed - rear seat recline adjustment is very poorly designed - missing rear temperature controls - missing heated rear seat option - rear cargo/storage area is not flat when seats are folded down - missing roof rail racks by default - no ability to monitor exact tire pressure amount (psi) for each tire wheel sensor - sunroof sliding light cover is very thin and allows in more noise than thicker ones - missing front window deice button option like Canada model has (not to be confused with from window defog button built into ac controls) - small glovebox - noticed some poor cut outs in the floor carpet - passenger control cover came off and had to reattach it but it doesn’t attach smoothly (could be a one off fluke or global issue, not sure but will have dealership look at it) - horn tone is weak and embarrassing - (this is more of a personal pet peeve) there are three empty missing buttons below dashboard for missing options so despite car being fully loaded it appears options are missing and hence not visually/ascetically appealing - would be nice to have cornering headlights that turn with the steering wheel - missing built in home link for garage door opener - No power folding mirrors - Interesting goof: all the 2023 CRVs are missing the rear left passenger seat pocket on drivers seat back Despite the Honda engineers missing some elements as pointed out in my cons above, they did ok for this first round new release. You have to keep in mind that they use the best engineers for their Acura product so they did the best they could with the limier talent they had but if you want better quality in the USA you will have to spend for Acura. I did point out these points to Honda in email but received a scripted response stating thank you for letting us know which gave me a bad impression of their customer service. Understandably they are looking at maximum profit and likely most customers are not as discerning as me by these short cuts, features and/or suggestions I’ve made. And at the end of the day I have to remember this is a Honda not a Toyota so I have to curb my expectations as it relates to quality and attention to details.

We got our CRV Hybrid sport for about 2 months. We love how it drives, how it looks. And being a hybrid it is very good on gas mileage. Interior is nice, the new design exterior looks a lot better than the previous model. I think the sport trim for the hybrid is the sweet spot, as the sport touring trim price range you are looking closer to an Acura RDX base model.. all in all. Pros are that it drives great, plenty of room in the back seats and it reclines as well, styling and how it handles. Cons there are a few, such as no spare tire due to a hybrid needs the room in the trunk for the battery, no panoramic sunroof, not a fully digital gauge, no ventilated seats, no 360 camera. But I guess Honda is leaving all these features to the Acuras. We still love the car for what we paid for. If you are okay for not having all these bells and whistles that other competitors offers. Then it’s a good choice, Honda is very reliable and so far we are happy with this purchase.

Nice but missing a couple of things

I enjoy the ride. Good pick up. There a few things that disappoint. The back cargo section doesn’t have a shade to cover/hide the contents even tho it has the slots for it. There is no navigation and you must plug your your phone in order to get it to show on screen. There is a platform. That look like a wireless charger but it is not. The lane correction goes off randomly. There is no beep to indicate your car is locked. Mirrors don’t go in when car is locked you have to do it manually. Having had this in my previous vehicle I can easily forget. Back up camera doesn’t beep when close just shows line and only for the back. There is no pocket behind the drivers seat. For the price and being a new vehicle I would have thought some of these things were pretty standard.
