The 2023 Honda CR-V Sport Touring Is A More Sophisticated Hybrid Family SUV
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The #HondaCRV has been around since 1997, but the first ever, #CRVHybrid didn’t show up until 2020. For 2023, the #HondaCRVHybrid has been fully redesigned with more power, technology, and better MPG.

Happy Tuesday everyone! The day has finally arrived where we can share how the redesigned 2023 CR-V hybrid drives! We also had a chance to drive the previous generation CR-V Hybrid back-to-back and Honda definitely made huge improvements to the powertrain. We also managed to clock a 0-60 time in the old CR-V Hybrid in 8 secs, the new version is about 0.5 secs quicker, while getting about the same MPG, according to the EPA numbers. While it is a huge improvement over the old model, we do still feel Honda missed the mark on several factors, including the lack of a PHEV in the US and premium features like a pano roof, cooled seats, or a heads up display for the top trim.

Good review Guys. I like the improvements Honda has done with the Next Gen CRV. What i don't like is that HUMMING of the engine, like it's stuck in 1st or 2nd gear. I would have to test drive this myself. Toying with replacing our 2016 CRV Touring (my Wife's car). But we will see? I would go for the Hybrid Model for sure. I drove a 2021 Hybrid last year with the same Drivetrain as this one... I was impressed with the extra Umph . Torque is a big difference in the hybrid over opur 2016 model. And a nice Bump in MPGs.
Anyway to get one of those leather keychains? Those are sweeeeet! Also, love your reviews. Just found this channel a handful of months ago and this is great content!
The other CR-V video had over 171K views. I love that you do reviews for us commonfolk too.
I've been owned previous generation CR-V Touring, was looking to buy this one, but lacks of some important features mentioned in this video makes me go for one of competitors. Sadly, Honda guys, I was big fun of yours, moving to Toyota now.

That CVT transmission was straining to get up to 60 mph in 7.5 seconds. That drone noise is a real dealbreaker.
@dcaballero9048

That's how a CVT works. It allows the engine to rev to the most efficient rev range and then the CVT slowly gears up as you see the revs go down. A CVT is "infinite" gears. If it shift it is just program to go to a lower gear range but that is just using a CVT to mimic an automatic.

I currently have a 2019 CRV EX which i extended for 6 months. I went to a few Honda dealers near me and test drove both the EXL and the hybrid. The difference in power between the two was a bit noticeable, but not enough to immediately pick the hybrid. Keeping in mind the fact that I lease, the hybrid wasn’t going to save me in three years the price difference for the Hybrid Touring. So there’s that! The EX and lower trim Hybrid weren’t even a consideration due to the lack of features that are important to me. So it was either the EXL, or sport touring. I can definitely see why so many people would prefer the touring version. It’s definitely better looking on the outside and for many that’s at the top of their list. It’s a hybrid and for many it’ll save them on gas over the long term if they’re buying. So once again, being that it’ll be a 36 month lease, I’d be paying way more just for the looks of it. The EXL has every feature that I need and in the end makes way more sense on a 36 month lease. If I were to purchase, I’d most likely pick the hybrid touring at 5 grand more over the EXL.
I often rewind and listen to the theme music and the engine revving. 😀

It's excellent to see Honda improving and manufacturing hybrid vehicles - better late than never. Hybrid technology is the way to go for great MPG and long range for any vehicle. They have the technology for plug-in hybrids that get 60 to 80 mpg, and still have 200+ hp in a vehicle like this. It's a complete mystery why they are not designing and marketing more plug-ins.

I think Honda is avoiding use of larger battery packs. For MY23, they actually reduced the battery pack size to 1.04 kWh compared to 1.4 kWh or so, for the previous version. A plug-in version would make sense with a substantially large battery pack... at that point, might as well just make it full EV.

I wondering if we would ever see the 2.0L turbo in the CR-V from the Accord or Acura line before it all goes electric? looking forward to see the new Mazda CX-60 or 70? and the new Honda Pilot, it looks like it will be getting the panoramic sunroof. Pros: interior, exterior, updated AWD, reclining rear seats, improved interior quietness. Cons: no panoramic sunroof, Hybrid MPG, Hybrid system nothing ground breaking, no rear heated seats, no front vented seats, no Phev option, not keeping up with the competition.

Nice review. It's a nice car. A lot of flack in here about lacking features vs cost. I hear you. I do. But it's got as much if not more than the comparable RAV4 xse hybrid which comes in at nearly the exact same price. Also the rear floor hump is definitely due to the battery, the touring doesn't have a spare tire under the rear floor due to the battery, so it's not as tall.
I wonder how much the battery replacement will cost?
I think the back of this vehicle would have looked leaps and bounds better without the vertical part of the tail lights!! At about timestamp 6:14 cover that part of the car up on your screen; leaving only the horizontal exposed and see what I mean.
Unlike competitors, Honda offers an Acura version. A 40k CRV is already quite expensive. If you want more goodies buy the Acura.

Is the Sport Touring much quieter to drive than the EX-L?
Frankly very bothered by so much of the cost cutting choices. Especially since its finally a damn good looking SUV. When a loaded CRV used to max out at right around $30k it was acceptable. But now nearly at $40k, this kinda power/experience of that buzzy eCVT, and lacking features - it doesn't make any sense. Tuscon Hybrid continues to lead this pack, and is not dethroned by the CRV unfortunately. Honestly the CRV is hampered by the RDX. My guess is the only reason the top trim doesn't have everything we all think it should have, is Acura/Honda wants to push you into a RDX. Frankly to get away from that eCVT i think I'd just go for that too. For those who want a well optioned/trimmed out Hybrid from Honda/Acura - your wait continues. But I'd take the performance of the RDX and the 10mpg hit.

Wow. I was looking into this as I’m a current owner of a 22’ Toyota RAV4 Hybrid and I must say… Honda definitely missed out on those features you talked about. The no spare tire threw me off. It’s to my understanding most newer cars do not carry spare tires but that’s almost a must for me. I also attend drive ins for movies so the hump in the back after seats were put back was off putting as well. As far as appearance, that’s one thing I can say Honda mastered opposed to RAV4. Interior and Exterior. RAV4 interior feels very outdated. The seats are not the most comfortable. Ultimately though, I still think RAV4 will be top running until Honda decides to incorporate some of those added features. Interesting watch, thanks! 😊
My 2020 CR-V EX-L has a full digital cluster, the rear seats can be folded down from the hatch area, the rear seats are completely flat when folded down, and I have a spare. Honestly it's very disappointing Honda went backwards in these areas.
I’ll wait for the Mazda CX50 hybrid,coming soon

I think is a great SUV from Honda however is weirdly missing a fully digital cluster, HUD and a 360 camera system, the panoramic roof is absolutely not necessary I have a pano roof on my RDX and in roughly 8 months of ownership I have used it twice maybe?, if Honda adds the missing features it would be the best compact SUV in the market, unfortunately dealers will kill it with upmarket charges like they are doing with the Civic.

Then when you look at all non luxury manufacturers they all are cheaper and more loaded at msrp. Also more powerful cars etc. Honda is selling a 33k otd car for over 40k before taxes. Biggest ripoff in automotive history, by so very far.
I was disappointed that you didn’t test it in urban driving. Isn’t that where a hybrid really shines? Most people aren’t going to buy a hybrid to get a faster 0-60 time but to save fuel in their daily commute and in town driving.
The North American version seems trimmed down. In other markets, Honda optioned fully digital cluster, panoramic sunroof, double map pockets, loud horns, etc. Even the plug-in version in Europe. They probably reserve these for the updates.
Do you know if this CRV has Homelink. Thanks
