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.

I bought a 2025 EXL model in August, when I test drove it I didn’t notice the road noise at the time. The more I drive it the more noticeable it gets, especially on the highway.

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?
2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid Great Gas Mileage

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.

Best CRV EVER and I have had many!

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 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.

Features to go back to from prior models

This is my 6th CRV starting with a 2006.... across the entire dash is a honeycomb with vents behind it - not sure why such a dust collector is needed when solid plastic worked fine in the past and was much cleaner. Also, there is no longer a driver right armrest - AND unlike the 2021 CRV, this center console does NOT slide forward. Maybe for tall people it's fine, but for the average height of women, this is problematic. To have the seat forward enough to reach the pedals, I no longer have anything to rest my elbow on. Makes me question who is designing these vehicles and why there isn't input from various sizes/types of people. Finally, there is very LITTLE storage space compared to past models. The center console is smaller and no 'shelf' is there like under the sliding armrest of the 2021 version. The door cubbies are half the size of the 2021 version. The glovebox also seems smaller, too. I'm not sure where my car stuff is now supposed to go and still have it accessible :-(
Worst Car I’ve ever Owned

To those singing the praises of this car, you’ve never owned a decent car and clearly have low expectations that are easily met. I had a 1989 Honda Accord that was light years better than this tin can. If you want a car with poor handling, no acceleration to get you safely through an intersection, loud engine noise (for gas models not hybrid) The 2025 Honda crv is like driving a refrigerator. Seating is very uncomfortable for drives longer than 30 minutes as well. Seat belts cannot be adjusted to fit properly for anyone under 5’4”. This 1.5 liter engine is garbage.

Beautiful Car, Painful 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.
