Is this thing overrated or is it king of the hill with the 2018 crossovers. The 2018 Honda CR-V is only one year removed from it's massive redesign. This 2018 Honda CR-V EX-L Review will cover in detail the pros and cons of the 2018 Honda CR-V EX-L. Some neat features are memory driver seat, active noise cancellation for a quieter ride, and amazing cargo capacity for a vehicle of this size. You'll see why it's a Best Value SUV 2018. I mention a few features missing that you will get on the 2018 Honda CRV Touring trim level as well as a little about the CRV LX. I've got to say, I was pretty impressed.

What did you think? I was definitely impressed by this SUV. This Trim level is a pretty good value but if you don't want leather than the EX is fantastic value for a couple thousand less. Just driving through the parking lot, steering felt tighter and lighter than previous generation CR-V but there wasn't much power with really low speeds until the turbo kicked in...so low speed bumper to bumper would be annoying, but overall felt very smoother at slow speeds. Leave some comments! Thanks for watching!

Love this Honda crv I just bought a 2018 CRV Touring and love everything about it..Has a lot of power too :) The interior is very nice and comfortable. I don't travel but love the secure feeling of being in a SUV even for in town use and the added room it has is a bonus.. Very Classy Honda SUV

Pay attention! There's a lot of complaints about 2017 Honda CRV. Because of more short trips , more city driving and cold weather, the gas is mixing in the oil of the new 2017 Honda CR-V. The 1.5 liter engine does not warm up sufficiently in cold weather and short trips , runs rich, and leaves un-combusted gas in the oil. This triggers engine warning lights and requires frequent oil changes. Engine performance and drivability suffer. This problem is also being reported on social media by other Honda CR-V owners who drive in colder climates. We are concerned that it is causing long term damage to the engine of the new vehicle. I caution prospective buyers to postpone the purchase of a 2017 or newer 2018 Honda CR-V with the 1.5 liter engine until Honda solves to this problem. The fifth generation CR-V is an excellent car in many respects, but this is a major problem. I cannot recommend the car, particularly to those who drive in colder climates, until a fix is found.

Great review. I’m new to the Honda family having just got a 2019 EX CR-V. What a little beast! Best car I’ve ever owned. The tech included in the EX trim blows my mind. Most other cars all that tech would be on the higher end trims. Best value for your buck. Great ride, great stereo...I really have no complaints. It’s handle our SD Thanksgiving storms like a champ.

Great video! I have purchased many Honda products. Last being a 2018 CR-V LX AWD. Just love this SUV!! Very happy with it. I live here in NS, Canada. Just wanted to let you know and all American's that all CRV models come with the 1.5L Turbo in Canada. They also have the upgraded stereo. Not the base stereo they offer in the US. All LX AWD models and above have the Honda Sensing Package with all options associated with it! Again, great video, keep up the good work!

Yes, we can get a lot of snow here but so far this year not a whole lot of snow! The AWD feature is great in the snow. I highly recommend the AWD feature.

We've had our EX AWD for 7 mos now and getting 37 hwy, but mid-lower 20's city. City mpgs are hard to compare since everyone has a different definition of "city". Some have long mostly empty boulevards with stop lights a mile apart and some, like me, have actual downtown gridlock and barely crawling.

This (olive green metallic) is my favorite color, but it’s not available or shown on the Honda website as an option for a 2018 CR-V It was available on the 2017. Please verify.

@PrimeAutotainment 6 жыл бұрын

I like it too. Yeah this was a standard color for this one, not an extra option. I just went to Honda’s site and it’s listed as available called “Dark Olive Metallic”. I’m in the US are you somewhere else?

@SibirLupus 6 жыл бұрын

What trim are you looking to get? For both 2017 and 2018 CR-Vs in the United States, the Dark Olive Metallic color has been only available on EX and up trims. Oddly enough, BMW has a Dark Olive Metallic color option for the X3 SUV.

Prime Autotainment. Thanks. Your review helped a lot. I got the same EX-L model last week and ended up with the Dark Olive. Loving it so far. Can't wait until Spring because up north, it's been snowing a lot and it's covered with road salt. It'll be a while until it'll be clean on the outside. So far the AWD has been great in the snow.
