2024 Honda CR-V Sport Touring Hybrid 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid EVT)
109 of 118 people found this review helpful

Only have 200 miles on my 2024 Sport Touring so far (mixed driving), so these are first impressions only. Integration of the electric motors and gas engine is incredibly seamless. Without confirmation from the dash display, you can NOT tell when the gas engine is running unless you're accelerating hard. Feels very strange to have no sound or vibrations when the car is not moving. It produces a strange background sound when in reverse to alert pedestrians, since it's virtually silent otherwise. 0-60 #s don't interest me as much as 40-70 mph #s for on ramps and passing. This car is more than adequate at both. So far, Sport mode seems unnecessary, and I don't understand the decision to pump in artificial engine sounds when in it. The drivers seat can move back automatically after shutting off the engine, and move back into position when seated and starting the car, for easier entry and exit. That was a nice surprise. The headlight control defaults to AUTO (a not so nice surprise). You can't keep it in OFF, as a spring always returns it to auto. I'm enjoying the paddle "shifters" for the regen braking. Makes me feel a little more involved (had manual transmission cars years ago). It seems that by using them actively, you can get more charge to the battery, which results in more EV mode driving and better mileage. It probably also saves the brakes. For reference, I'm comparing the following characteristics to our other car - 2016.5 Mazda CX-5. It's very quiet, especially with the sound system playing. Volume can be quite low, because the active noice cancellation is so effective. The ride mutes road imperfections very well (we have a lot in the Midwest), while still being nicely firm, with taught steering. While on the exact same wheelbase, the CRV feels noticeably larger from inside than our CX-5. Much more rear seat leg room, and headroom everywhere. More cargo space too, probably from the higher roofline. The spec says it's 500 lbs heavier, and you can tell. The info screen/display functionality is a huge improvement over our Mazda. Very simple to navigate and looks good. Not sure why you'd want anything bigger. The Bose system is OK. Haven't compared to the level right below it. I saw a thorough review comparing them and that reviewer thought there was a fairly significant difference, and gave the Bose a B overall. The CRV was purchased to be more comfortable (than CX-5) on road trips which we plan to take more of. I expect it will fit the bill very well. Can't speak to mileage yet, but I expect it will be below the rated #s, but I'm not too concerned.

01/12/25 update: continues to be an excellent vehicle for commuting, great on gas consistently above 32 MPG on the highway, smooth drivetrain, great usability with foldable rear seats, wish the rear seats had seat heaters. Our ‘23 Accord touring had this feature. I guess because this car is built on the Civic it doesn’t get it. Strange because the overseas CR-V’s have this option. Update 07/11/24: The CR-V continues to be an excellent companion cruising from the Bay Area to the Central Valley. Continue to return high 40s and low 50 miles per gallon return on the highway. The car is comfortable, the AC blows nice and cold especially needed during these 110+ temperature days. Two major complaints I have with this car now that it has hit 10K miles. First, I hate the droning of the motor when the vehicle is traveling up hill or any significant grade change from flat. It sounds like the car is really struggling to maintain the speed of traffic; while it sounds bad the car has plenty of power but the engine sounds very coarse and unrefined. Ironically, we have a 2023 accord touring hybrid while it’s the same drivetrain, it doesn’t sound the same as the CRV going over the same terrain. The last demerit would be the constant glitchy head unit screen. The screen will constantly reboot during driving or black out and lose Apple CarPlay connectivity. Recently purchased a Honda Sport Touring Hybrid on 12/27/23 to compliment our fleet of a 2023 Honda Accord Touring and 2021 Chevrolet Silverado High Country with a 6.2L. We have loved our Accord, we recently traded in our 2022 Acura MDX with the Advanced Package for the CRV; while they represent different automotive audiences, the Acura had too many problems with its braking system (replaced front brakes with front caliper at 38K miles) and having our rear brakes squeal every time with stopped. We loved the comfort of the Acura and with all the creature comforts it had. The CRV is a different category; but highlights include comfortable seats, useable interior, so far decent fuel economy (low 30s) , good Bose Stereo, good backseat comfort for our kids one that is 6 foot tall, and useable trunk space. The CRV only has 300 miles currently on the odometer, and will serve as a commuter/family vehicle. So far, we have been impressed with its quality and usability. Two Honda hybrids in our family, we love how smooth these cars ride, handle, and behave on our construction ridden highways here in California.

Here’s What is Missing

2024 Honda CR-V EX-L 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
62 of 67 people found this review helpful

We traded in our 2018 Touring recently for an EX-L and noticed a few of the features have been taken away. Most notable: -No fog lights. The salesman told us they aren’t need with the newer headlight but we notice no difference between vehicles. The fog lights are handy and should be on every SUV. -No back seat release levers in the cargo area. They are now tie downs. This was also a handy feature. -No integrate garage door opener overhead. Why take it away? -No hands free cargo door open feature. -No chrome exhaust tips. -The engine bay is stripped down. No covers for aesthetics. On the plus side, there are more sensors for parking. The infotainment system is improved. Back seats have a nice recline. The fuel door release is on the fuel door, not a lever inside. And the engine bay hood prop is gone. There are nice pneumatic struts on each side rear of the hood now.

The car is everything that the reviewer said it would be. It rides smoothly. It is a lightweight vehicle. It's easy to understand how the functions work on the car. Lots of leg space and headroom. The only thing that I would have loved would be the push button to open the hatch. I have moonroof, heated seats, remote start. Forewarned it will shut off if it's been running for a certain amount of time. My parents were sitting in the car and I ran into the store. After a period of time it shut off. So I need to read up on that feature.

2024 Honda Cr-v

We liked the 24 CR-V for the most part. I didn't like the fact that there is no spare tire. Maybe I'm old fashioned or just old but I've changed a few flats in my 74 years and went happily on my way. If the tire has a hole too big to fix with the air compressor they provide you could have a long wait for AAA. The last time I called them for help they told me it would be 6 hours before they could send someone. So besides not having a spare tire ,the cr-v doesn't come with a rear cargo cover or a console glove box shelf, both of which came with the last three new cars I've had. It just feels like Honda cheaped out on a few items that really weren't too expensive. The Cr-v feels like a solid ride. We got the hybrid version which has a little over 200hp. It has plenty of power to pass and go up mountains and it gets pretty good gas mileage. I got 38 mpg on the 2 hour drive from the dealership that we bought it from. The safety features I have mixed emotions about. I think it's a little overkill with the feature that keeps you in lane with the tugging on the steering wheel. It just feels too uncomfortable with the wheel being jerked around ,I probably won't use it. Also there is no storage space for things like tools or umbrellas or a blanket. My last car was a Prius and it had plenty of room for all that stuff. Over all the Cr-v feels solid ,is very quiet and is comfortable and safe feeling.
