2025 Honda CR-V Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Love/hate
I love the smooth and quiet ride of my 2024 CR-V but I’ve had so many problems with tires. At about 12-15,000 miles something went wrong with the alignment and it ruined all the tires. Not long after that the engine headers went bad and had to have them replaced. I’ve had it to the dealership more than any other car I’ve owned. Did these issues weren’t so frequent I would keep it because of all the features and the styling.

Don't Buy A 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid
Just bought a 2025 CR-V Hybrid Sport L at the very end of this past August (based upon a Car & Driver review). Car literally has just over 2K miles on it and now I'm seeing not 1 but 2 recall notices for the high pressure fuel pump and gearbox issues. NICE!!! The language in the high pressure fuel pump recall notice is particularly irritating "bring it in for a free inspection and, if necessary, replacement of the high-pressure fuel pump if the inspection indicates the presence of a defective part". What, like your local Honda Dealer's Service Dept. has the time, or skill, to thoroughly inspect your fuel pump (while paying customers wait). And btw, who's to say that the part won't fail after they deem it okay, say for example when your 100s of miles away from home. This is a very serious issue that could result in the car catching fire. Also, if the gearbox issue isn't addressed properly based upon the recall the steering could become unmanageable - imagine what that might lead to driving down the interstate at 70+. I'm going to see what I can do about this legally. I have opened a case w/Honda Customer Care to see if they'll buy this POS back. If you're in my situation I'd recommend you do the same! P.S. If you do take your car into to have them "inspect" the fuel pump I'd be inclined to demand that they replace it with a part they know does not have the defect. That said, if you're willing to just live with the inspection and they tell you that your part is okay make sure you get their assessment in writing. These dealerships change service managers and techs like most people change socks.
POOR CHOICE
I have the misfortune of purchasing a 2025 CRV. At 2800 miles I was tolded that the vehicle needed a rebuilt transmission?? I have tried to fight this transaction. Now the back up camera is in black and white.

Quality
The 2025 CR-V was the 5th Honda I had purchased. I’ve driven several generations of the accord, I owned a civic and my husband currently owns a pilot. To say I’m not familiar with the brand would be an understatement. The stylish exterior of the latest generation of the CR- V is what really drew me to the vehicle. After owning the car for 3 months, I traded it in because I did not care for it at all. I found the interior extremely cheap compared to previous Hondas. The plastic interior feels very cheap, if you press on the plastic, it creaks. The wireless “charging” will keep your phone from dying but it won’t charge your phone. The dual climate control doesn’t get very hot and if you have it going towards your body and feet at the same time, barely any heat comes out of the body vents. After doing research on this, it was discovered that this was a design flaw on Hondas part. The seat belt adapter is very stiff and doesn’t move around very much so if you have a wider hip, you may find this a bit uncomfortable. The seats themselves take some adjustment to get even somewhat comfortable. The ride was smooth but I did not like how the vehicle maneuvered around corners. Overall I see this as a major let down for the Honda brand as I typically hold them to a high hurt standard. I traded the CR-V in for a 10th generation accord which I owned previously.

Amazing car BUT very very easy to steal
I owned the 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid and it was a really nice car but it’s very easy to be stolen. Mine got stolen in my driveway in less than 5 minutes. It was locked and the alarm didn’t ring at all. Honda needs to step up their security features, but until then, I recommend a steering wheel lock to deter thieves or an airtag. It’s such a shame that it’s a brand new car yet it lacks the security features it needed. Less than 5 minutes is crazy (saw the video of the person doing it) I live in Queens, NY in a quiet neighborhood as well.
