I’ve had my 2025 CRV Hybrid Sport-L for a few months and about 1,500 miles. Average MPG is 42.1 with 30% highway driving. We love the leather seats, moonroof, comfortable interior, and how it drives flawlessly. I’m impressed with how many feature are included at this price. I’ve driven Luxus’ and Acura’s of family members and see no difference in quality or comfort. I highly recommend this vehicle and have no complaints.

This is my 2nd consecutive CR-V. Coming out of a 2022 EX-L. Love the hybrid powertrain . Went for the sport touring over the sport-L as it's only $1500 more one you add AWD to the sport-L (standard AWD in sport touring). Getting 38.2 mpg in mixed driving. Plenty of space for a small SUV Other things I like are updated carplay and android auto (both wireless) as well as lane keep assist/ traffic jam assist systems and Bose audio system (I always disconnect the anc module in Hondas, they are pointless in my opinion). Very quiet and smooth ride. I opted for the grey interior which is 2 tone and glad I did. Looks very sharp. Things I don't like are the front seat shape (side bolsters very high and less comfortable then previous generation) as well an the removal of items making them dealer options that came standard even in the EX-L trim (rear cargo cover, homelink) but all manufacturers heading this route to save/make more money out of every sale. Overall I really like my CR-V even though it's a little on the pricey side. I think you will be hard pressed to find a better small SUV.

This is our third Honda CRV (2018, 2021, 2025). High quality construction, rides great. Just a solid vehicle. No other small SUV is put together this well. One big issue and one small issue. Very frustrated with my 2025 Sport-L entertainment system and Apple CarPlay. The gauge audio display setting (in front of the steering wheel) gets stuck and does not show what’s playing in CarPlay. C’mon Honda - there are 1.6 billion iPhone users in the world. Please figure this out. We had similar problems in our 2021 CRV. It works fine in our Nissan. This is not an iPhone issue. It’s a Honda issue. The other is just front cabin storage. Cup holders and bin space seems to be reduced. And the little tray in the arm rest was not included (I purchased that separately online). Again, C’mon Honda! The CRV would be the best SUV in the market if the recorded better and they included some low-cost basics.

My first hybrid. Love that the battery is NOT paired with a turbo. Who wants a turbo to turn on and off as needed? Doesn't match their characteristics. Like it is standard with blind spot warning, etc. Quiet ride. Good power. Excellent mpg (averaging 38 combined Hwy city). Compared to a RAV4 and it looks nicer, inside and out, feels more substantial and has more room. It was also hard to get a RAV4. Cons: Wish it had a spare tire. Cost more than the RAV4 and can't set without a moon roof.

2025 CR-V and it’s near death steering system

Our 5-week old CR-V EX-L wanders dangerously at highway speeds — and crosses painted lane lines — even with the lane-control system engaged. Also, the smartphone-linked navigation system often drops the needed connection and, much worse, the screen goes blank when you leave internet connected areas, thus leaving you without information when it’s most needed. Another dangerous fault is the unsafe headlights that are verifiably inadequate when driving on dark roads in inclement weather. This is our sixth CR-V. Our previous models have been flawless. Obviously something at Honda has radically changed. These faults are obviously dangerous — the dealer has ignored us — so we plan to implement the Ohio Lemon law and, hopefully, get our money back.

I traded in my 2017 touring CR-V (which I loved) for the new 2025 hybrid sport touring CR-V. Super quiet, rides smoothly, great gas milage (41'ish mpg so far), seats more comfortable than my old Crv. Very happy with with the purchase. The only negative was the hybrid vehicle doesn't come with a spare tire. There is a repair kit ( spray into tire) to get you to a nearby tire store, so for long trips I'm going to buy ( around $400) a spare that can be tossed in the back when I take long road trips.. I've owned Hondas since 1986 and never had any issues with them.

We have owned a 2014 CR-V since new, and love it. But pushing 200,000 mi, we wanted to check out the 2025 and compare it to the RAV4. Loved the CR-V ride, quiet and comfortable, with more visibility than the RAV4, and with plenty of pick-up for our needs. However, we found the technology wanting (e.g. no 360 view, smaller display, analogue speedometer) compared to the RAV4, and the storage behind the back seat significantly smaller than the CR-V we already own, and with less depth to the back seats than the RAV4, even though the RAV4 has less width and height at the door. Not a fan of the CR-V's not having a spare tire, either. Not decided yet, RAV4 ride not as nice. Tough call.

I recently purchased the Honda CRV Hybrid, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. This car is exceptionally comfortable, making every drive a pleasant experience. The ride is incredibly smooth, and the cabin is so well-insulated that there’s virtually no noise intrusion, allowing for a peaceful journey every time. The sound system is fantastic, delivering clear and immersive audio, which enhances the overall driving experience. The navigation system, paired with the entertainment system, is user-friendly and intuitive, and the touch panel is responsive and easy to operate. Every feature works seamlessly together, making it a joy to use. Overall, the Honda CRV Hybrid is an amazing purchase at a reasonable price, offering excellent value for the quality and features it provides. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, comfortable, and well-equipped vehicle.

I have had my 2025 Honda CRV Hybrid Sport Touring for a few weeks and I love it. It is spacious and comfortable inside with a nice modern look. The car runs quietly and I get good gas mileage about 38-40 miles per gallon. Pros: Great-looking interior, comfort, super quiet, and excellent hybrid Cons: No spare tire

This 2025 Honda CRVEXL is similar to the 2024 model but has a more solid large suv feel. Easily fits 5 adults and has plenty of pep to its drive. Lots of safety features and has a 9 inch display. Great sounds with 3 mos. Free Sirius radio. Got a 3 yr. Lease and probably will purchase it to keep. Looking forward to the next ride…. So easy to get in and out of this well designed suv….rides like a mid size sedan, not like a compact. Thanks for listening, Hank

This is our first hybrid purchase. Very pleased with the comfortable ride and the power of the 4-cylinder engine. Rear back-up assistance and lane change warning assistance is a plus for us as the many drivers seem to be distracted these days. We averaged 38 miles per gallon traveling a fair amount of mountains even while using Sport Mode which works better on mountain driving. Otherwise, we use Normal Mode while doing city driving. Many autos don’t have spare tires and this model does’t have one either, but it wasn’t a game- changer.

So much fun to drive this practical car. This is my favorite CRV to drive so far. Great mileage, awesome comfort in any seat, roomy, sporty and sophisticated. Very quiet ride. Easy to navigate interior settings. The headlights have never been better on the CRV line up. The safety technology is vastly improved. I was concerned about the extra few inches it added when it came to parking in tight spots but with the improved camera and curb warnings it’s not an issue. I have only two points to mention. Since it didn’t come with a spare tire I purchased one on Amazon, and Honda went cheap by eliminating the garage door opener mechanism. I now have it available on my phone via MY Q so it’s not a huge problem.

I was a loyal Subaru Outback owner for 12 years and never thought I’d switch brands after owning two. But, I wanted a hybrid and slightly larger vehicle - the CR-V checked all my boxes. It looks sharp and rides beautifully.

The CR-V hybrid is a nice car, but lacks attention to details and amenities compared to its predecessors. After a month of driving, a rock barely touched the windshield, and it cracked. The rear window has paint splashes in the interior, which I didn't notice at the time of purchase. I'm afraid of what other issues are ahead since simple things like this are showing up in less than two months.

This year Honda went cheap, so you might as well buy a KIA. -1 Turbo fed motor remains questionable, get same mileage as earlier trustworthy non-turbo 4-cylinder. -Wanders on Highway, this way, that. Aligned three times, two by dealer, once by specialist shop. Still does it at 20,000 miles. -Highly lauded entertainment device is a cheap screen linked to your telephone. GOOGLE GPS via internet that goes blank when the internet connection is lost, so carry printed maps because this is a common experience. Also, it just arbitrarily quits, which, to reactivate, requires stopping car to relink your phone. Frankly, I see it as a dangerous device that’s distraction requirements could cause accidents. -No effective downshift for steep hills although it does have a slowing device button that is said to reduce runaway risk. I’ve used it twice. It makes weird cranking sounds. -Headlights are great for driving to Walmart; scary on dark mountain roads, real scary in the rain. -Front seats, fashioned after race car chairs, are exceptionally uncomfortable on long drives. Oddly, they’re narrow with inch-high risers on each seat-side, supposedly to hold you in place during Mach-2 turns but, instead, on highway drives these risers press against your outer thigh and cause pain. - Way too much technology — no glovebox space due to under-dash gimmecktry; have no idea of the packed under-hood realm. Good news? It’s pretty.

I find it totally irresponsible of Honda to not have the wiper and headlight controls not illuminated at night when the full headlights are on. I mean, what the hell? The drivers seat only travels back a little bit, I’m only 5.8 and I do not understand how a person over 6’ could possibly be comfortable with the lack of back and forth travel of the seat! Rides and handles well, great headlights, effortless to park, great high tech safety features.

Price wise we feel great considering all the models of this size were one to two hundred more on payments. Yes the ride is very smooth, true space up front is less but we don’t run our office from there. Brakes and steering are way above others. Spacing volumes others too. Our first test on mileage turned out to 38 mpg no complaints about that and better than pilots 20 mpg. You add with top model touring and Bose system to go with Michelin tires. Many great safety features also.

Drove during a 4 inch snowfall in Minneapolis on October 31, 2024 in my new 2025 Honda CRV Sport Hybrid. When I parked the car, brushing snow from it, snow was packed in the little headlight cubby holes. How could nobody notice this unsafe design flaw?

I debated between small SUV hybrids: CX-5, NX, RAV4 and CR-V. Settled on the CR-V Touring Hybrid - the most expensive CR-V model. I’ll only state my negatives. Other than these items, I have no other negatives at this point of ownership. After 2.5 months of ownership, my overall MPG has averaged only 31.6 over 2,300 miles. This is around 50/50 highway and city. I drive in eco mode and am very light footed on the gas. This is the first car I’ve owned that I didn’t exceed a manufacturer’s stated MPG. Another reviewer mentioned the side seat boosters going too high. I agree. I noticed this in nearly every car I test drove. It’s not comfortable. Another issue is occasional sudden breaking while using the cruise with nothing in front of me. I don’t know what triggers the breaking - it occurs during the day and at night. I’m afraid someone will eventually rear end me as a result. The Navigation map is a couple years out dated. It tries to route me down roads that no longer exist. Otherwise I like the vehicle. My biggest disappointment is the MPG. Had I known it was going to be this low, I would have selected a different vehicle.

I love the way the rear side doors open almost 90 degrees so the parent can have enough space to adjust the child’s safety seat. Also open the hatch and you’ll have the largest volume of space in a vehicle of this class. The still night blue color is gorgeous…reminds me of Acura’s Apex Blue or even BMW’s Tanzanite blue ll.

So happy I got this car 2025 CRV (EXL). I had the 2020 CRV LX, a good car but just the basic model. The EXL looks and rides quiet and smooth. I’m sure Kia and Hyundai are good cars ( especially when they’re new), but I wanted a vehicle that is proven to last longer with a good ride.

This is my third CRV, upgraded to the hybrid sport. I chose the beautiful two-tone leather interior. At mile 300 I’m anxious to trade this car in due to its extremely uncomfortable front passenger seat. We take lots of road trips and about 30 minutes in, it’s complete agony. The seat is too low, with absolutely no adjustment available, no lumbar support and the cushion is lacking essential padding. This is significantly less comfortable than my prior EX-L. I’ll make do with some second market cushions, which will negate the benefits of the heated seats, but then she’s got to go.

I did research and read where people were getting great gas mileage. I was looking forward to that. However this has not happened in my CR-V Sport Touring Hybrid. I can't seem to get over 31.4 mpg. I have a friend who has the regular CR-V and they get 34 mpg. I am also disappointed that I had to buy a spare donut tire and I know if there is a blow out up in the mountains and no cell service, it's not going to go well. The shoulder harness adjusted all the way down still rubs my neck, needs to be able to adjust lower. The driver's power seat does not raise up enough for me. I am 5'6, I shouldn't be having these 2 issues since I did not have them in other cars I've owned. About the only thing I can say positive about is there is good room for legs in the back seat. I wish I could hear a good click when I lock the doors, it's so quiet I have to lean down and try and hear it. I can only hope and pray the doors are locked when I leave it. I like the color, it's silver and I like the black wheels. At a distance, its a nice looking car. Just wished I was happy with it. And I'm not. I have to like my car, and I don't. I'm already car shopping again and I just rolled up 2000 miles. So far no infotainment issues like other. Already have 2 recalls, and I owned it for 2 months. Parts won't be in for another 2 months. One is something to do with the gas line, the other is a steering issue. Nice Honda. Dealer knew about these issues and sold the car anyway.

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.

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.
Below Estimate MPG and Underpowered Engine

I'll share my initial observations after only a few months of ownership. Biggest heads up I want to share is the MPG. I took readings in various conditions: Eco Mode: Gentle Driving 29.5 mpg estimate (per my car dash) 28.19 mpg actual (miles driven divided by gallons) Regular Mode: Normal Driving 26.9 mpg estimate 24.83 mpg actual Eco Mode: Normal Driving *Same as regular mode Normal Mode: Carrying Gear (kayak and other heavy gear) 21.4 mpg estimate 19.21 mpg actual All of these mileage were mixed highway and city. Not only was it significantly lower than estimates for this car, but the dash reported mpg was also significantly overestimating the mpg. Just be aware of this when purchasing the car. The engine, even on normal mode, is slow and lumbering. And it sounds like it is struggling to get up to speed. The interior is nice and the ride is very comfortable for me at 5'11". I love the interior space and storage. This is my first Honda, so I'm still adjusting to some of the features. The climate control is confusing to me. I try to put it on cool fan and it's still hot unless I put the a/c on, then it gets very cold unless you turn the temperature wayyyy up. Just weird. Also the safety features and a little scary. It flashes "Brake" warning when there is no issue, like if you are changing lanes to go around a vehicle or if a car is turning and you are timing it to go right by as they turn. Also, one time it completely locked the brakes because it thought I wasn't braking fast enough, but in reality the cars in front of me were starting to go after the light turned red. I had to let the car come to a complete stop and then it allowed me to accelerate, but it completely disrupted the flow of traffic. If this saves me from an accident even once, it will be worth it, but it was still scary and unnecessary. Despite these concerns, I still love driving this car in all conditions and I'm counting on the Honda reliability and resale to make it worth the investment.

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.

This is my fourth CR-V and it is the best car ever. I told my husband if you put me in a car that cost three times as much, there is no way I would like it better. This car is beautiful inside and out, and it's fun.

First time owning a hybrid. Hard to get use to moving in silence but boy is it a smooth ride. Comfortable all around and already appreciating the great gas mileage. Can't think of anything bad to say so far. Drive one for yourself and see.

I’ve never owned a Honda before, always American cars. I was focused on another American car, Chevy Equinox, but it didn’t have the amount of standard equipment the 2025 CR-V EX L has. So far extremely pleased with this Vehicle.

My wife and I test drove a CRV Touring and both of us walked away wanting to like it but just couldn't. It's smooth and quiet and handles exceptionally well. The tech and safety features work well and we were impressed. The bad. The front seats have raised sides that squeeze you uncomfortably that gets worse the longer you sit in them. Even in sport mode the power was just ok. Climbing hills on the highway would be pathetic once the battery is depleted. This Toyota and Mazda have bigger engines and get better fuel economy.

I've had my 2025 Honda CRV Sport L Hybrid since September 2024. This vehicle rides very well, is solid as a brick, powertrain is very smooth, and around town it often exceeds EPA mileage estimate. Highly recommend!

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.

Miss my V-6

The CR-V is nice. My wife loves it, too. It's a Hybrid Sport Touring model with AWD. It has pretty much all the bells and whistles a Honda can have. In spite of the extra horse power it has, relative to other 2025 Hondas, The power doesn't compare to that of the V-6 engine in the car it replaced, a 2009 Accord EX-L V-6. I miss being able to pass the car in front of me, without being afraid of getting rear-ended by the car in the next lane. The seat positioning feature drives me crazy. It's supposed to slide back automatically while you exit the vehicle, then scoot you back into the position you had when you get back in. Usually, it does the opposite. The stereo is excellent. The sounds and lights that go off, while near an object, are maddening. I'm parked in my garage well aware that the wall and other things are nearby. Nevertheless, the warning system sounds off in my garage and won't shut off until I pull out and away from everything. Sometimes It drowns out my thoughts. The breaking isn't fast and I have to break well in advance of when I used to with my accord. I was disappointed that the vehicle is so much larger than the 2010 CR-V I used to have. The 40 mpg rocks, though.
The passenger seat it doesn't not have adjustments

I just bought my CR-V 3 days ago and took it for a road trip the very next day. Handling is perfect. Gas mileage is amazing. Very roomy and comfy. Quiet ride and very smooth.
