Civic Crosstour?

I’m very disappointed by the mpg drop, no hybrid option, no turbo option, no rear ac vents, no rear fold down arm rest, no rear usb, and no magic seats. I am a Honda fan but I will not be buying this. Too bad as I am looking for a new suv. Looks like I will be test driving the Corolla Cross hybrid when it comes out.

I got to drive one on Friday as my dealership just got our demo unit. It's not for sale by the way, but we have it just for people to try out. This thing is a huge upgrade. My only gripe is not having rear vents. I agree with another poster here that I feel like this was intentional as Honda loves to intentionally exclude some things and fix it with a mid refresh. Frustrating, but I am still pumped about this vehicle as it is so far ahead of the previous generation HRV that my mind is simply blown.

Great review on HR V. I booked it already!

It's good looking, but the 2.0L turbocharged engine or a hybrid powertrain is definitely needed to compete against the corolla cross. Both would make good commuter cars if you live in a city, but some more power and good mpg are what buyers want these days. I would like to see a subcompact Acura version, maybe as a plug in hybrid.

I honestly like the new design. My question is what will current HR-V owners do when they update? Maybe they'll stick with the HR-V, or maybe they'll switch brands. The drop in fuel economy is definitely noticeable, but the increase in size could definitely attract a lot of growing families/people who just need more room than the old one. This is a great size, very comparable to older CR-Vs. I feel like this will definitely be a good direction for this car. They'll lose some loyal supporters of the original design, but people like me who would have never thought of the old one might end up taking a second glance at this one. For me, it's night and day.

Nice upgrades for the interior. Exterior is fine. Don’t love it or hate it. The weird back seat center console area with indents for what they’re not giving you is a head scratcher. Given that they apparently update this vehicle every 7 years, a 7 inch screen on a mid level trim Sport will not age well, but it looks nice otherwise. The overall size increase seems positive to me but when you could go up to a compact SUV and get better mileage with more power this doesn’t make much sense unless you need or want a smaller vehicle. The rear headroom seems limited like the old one and completely dependent on an aggressive carve out which has its limits in forward head movement, etc. Honda seems to like the aggressive carve outs for headroom. Most of all I completely don’t understand why they’re not offering a hybrid out of the gate. They missed a big opportunity and with gas prices as they are it’s compounded. We’ve been big Honda fans in the past and maybe the CRV will be a better implementation overall.

Great review. thank you.

From the thumbnail’s angle plus your happy face, it looked like a Lamborghini Urus to me....

IMO, they need to offer a Sun and Sound package on the sport. So you can get the screen and sunroof. Since the vehicle is almost the same size as the CRV, they should’ve made the 1.5 Turbo standard on the sport and EX-L trims. Most people don’t want a slow car anymore and would pay the extra. Definitely would try to get a sport model if those two things were available.

The 2023 HRV is 3 inches longer, yet has at best equal rear leg room, while having a considerably smaller cargo area than the Tucson (under 25 cubic feet vs 31 for the Tucson). Why does it feel like this is taking a step back in space efficiency? Is it that Honda needed to take some of the space to add more safety features, such as thicker door panels? Someone mentioned that the hood is long for improved forward collision crumple zone.

Few things I can see are improving in Honda's design: - No gawking looking exhaust vents, great. Why need to follow most others with big and maybe fake vents? - Similarly the front design is sensible without those gawking grills like some makes. - The aircon direction controls are so much more cohesive instead of the awkward looking pieces of sticks in the Civic.

@@Quandtimus I think Acura will offer a vehicle for that segment in a year or so. Hopefully, they’ll add a better engine, pano sunroof, power lift gate, and change the rear end like they did with the Integra. Acura needs to add a subcompact suv to diversify their lineup; to compete with the Q3’s, X1’s and XT4’s

They made an Acura version of the last HR-V, called the CDX, but only sold it in China. It had the 1.5T. I have no idea why they didn’t bring it over to North America.

Good review as usual. Any idea when the hybrid is supposed to land in the US? I’m torn between the hybrid version of this or the Civic hatch..

This is going to kick ass.

This car needs the 1.5t or a hybrid. Less power, refinement and fuel economy vs the 1.5t. Also, global hrv and zrv both get pano moonroofs and memory seats, we don't in the U.S

Why do we always get the lesser strip down versions of honda? Lexus does the same. The Lexus es300h and ls500h have pano roofs but in the US you can get them at all

Would still really like to see you guys upgrade your camera equipment instead of just shooting with an iPhone. There's a ton of noise, especially in the wide angle lens and the lens flares are horrible. You guys are so much better than this.
