We have just bought this vehicle March 2017 new costing £37.600 with every extra available sensing etc etc. I have never had a Honda always M Class Toyota Audi but i have to tell the viewers it is without doubt the best built, best ride, best practicality its the 160 bhp 9 speed auto. It is incredible to drive does everything you could need.... Unlike the reviewer it is an absolute doddle to work the touch screen sat nav phone etc not difficult at all..the keyless entry and memory seats are an absolute god send. The exon lights are incredible and when they light up the side of the road when you turn not a gimmick but very useful...If you are thinking of a Crossover this is the one its built better than all the other vehicles I have owned and whats more its a nice place to be in.

I love the crv. Yes it may be abit more expensive than others but it is the hond quality that you pay for which is top class and is better than any toyota or Mercedes benz or vw. I would buy a crv without even thinking about it. Long live Honda.

Just bought the manual 2.2 Diesel EX. Very nice car to drive. Entertainment system is actually really good and has a lot of features which my gadget loving wife likes. Very quiet to drive and packs a punch when you need it.

2:30 OMG HONDA HIT THE DAB!! XD

this CR-V 4 has a perfect design specially the front, so beautiful ! unlike the CR-V 5

When Matt touched the trainers and said "im wearing a clue" i thought he was gonna say CR stands for Christiano Ronaldo 😄

Brilliant car. I just bought the 2018 SE PLUS NAV and I could not be happier with it. Perfect.

1:50 E.Honda! Love all the little easter eggs and humour injected every now and then, Mat! :)

Hi Matt, I happened to spot a small error when the camera shifted over to the trip computer to display the fuel economy. The display was not that of the CRV, but i reckon of a RAV4.... 5:24 Must have been a mix up while editing the video. That said, it was a great review!!!

Everyone is obsessed with diesel! I found the 2.2 i-DTEC has a fair amount of turbo lag and was also very noisy at tick over. I can't comment on the 1.6 diesel as I never test drove it but for a car this size and weight I feel a 1.6 will be working rather hard. The 2.0 petrol can still shift if you put your foot to the floor, it just doesn't feel like it because of the linear manner upon which it accelerates. It's a far more refined and relaxed drive which suits this car. The CRV was never about performance, get a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT if you want all out performance in an SUV at similar money but be prepared for woeful reliability. I do wish Honda offered the 2.4 petrol in the CRV in the UK though.

And this is NOT the 2017 CR-V. Unless this is the 2017 model for your country. 2017 Has a revamp to the body and interior. Even the engine.

I like the entrance this guy makes on videos ,like its unique how he comes in from the edge of the camera etc

nice review as you always do matt.. but maybe you should test suv cars offroad so we could see more

I don’t mind the noise 2.0 litre petrol engine with a manual transmission but the question is is the petrol engine worth it cause the uk has this shit ULEZ that’s the reason why I don’t want to get the diesel. Any help??

The easter egg inside the center console storage space with a sumo wrestler!

Damn how do you manage to make such awesome reviews! Thanks a lot Mat and Carwow team :)

Dear Mat, I like your reviews and therefore I'm reluctant to criticise, however...... there are three errors in this review. Firstly at 2:13 you say that the range topping EX costs £35,000 and you seem astonished by the high price. Well no one pays that. One well-known online car dealer delivers an EX to your door for £26,001 (for the manual petrol). Even the EX automatic diesel 160 you are testing costs only £28,579. And amazingly, the bottom of the range S trim manual petrol costs only £20,128. Secondly, at 5:51 you say that you only get the automatic emergency braking on the top trim level. Not true! All trim levels get the city brake system. Thirdly, you say that both diesel and petrol automatics get the weird gear selector knob. Not true! The petrol model has a very conventional auto gear knob. Also do you think it may have been worth mentioning that 3 of the 4 trim levels get a reversing camera as standard?

The infotainment system on that looks like one of them screens (Sony, Polaroid) you can get from like Halfords or somewhere.

thank you Matt, I'm getting this car on Monday.

Please do one for the Subaru Forester, seriously. And maybe compared it with Nissan X-Trail and Mazda CX-5. It will be a great video. Thank you.

I've always loved hondas and it's no different with the CR-V. Yeah it can be a little more expensive than the competition but it's one of the biggest and most spacious CUV in it's class! Plus the almost unrivaled combination of solidity and comfort you get from hondas. I personally might opt for the CX-5 just because i like this current gen's overall package better, but hopefully the next gen CR-V gets stuff from the newer civic. That would be a gem.

We have the black edition executive model CRV and we just love it. The added whale tale on the back makes all the difference to its looks. Very very comfortable!

The 'Main' button is not specific to the cruise control, if you press the right toggle of the same button, you can switch between cruise and speed limiter. Nice review though Mat-la, hopefully this 160 PS diesel engine will appear in the next Civic

Would be interesting to see the comparison of this car and a Škoda Kodiaq

5:28 - Trip computer is from a Toyota Rav4........ great editing from Carwow

Can you review the new Jaguar F-Pace?

Ignore the comment about the engine.ive got the petrol engine with 5 speed auto. It’s quiet and smooth and sounds good when revved ,I test drove a diesel it was noisy vibratey and not as good.also any more than six gears is too many. Drove an e pace jag with 9 speed it starts off in 2nd and doesn’t use all off the gears, it’s just too many.

hahaaaaaa E. Honda 😁 ..nicely done. Thoroughly enjoy your reviews!

What is the best car for carrying 3 in the back?

Really like your reviews. One comment related to shift steering wheel paddles: “never ever use?” What about driving downhill and using engine to slow down?

Which one is better for a 23 year old first time car buyer tho, a 2016 honda cr v, or a 2017 honda civic ?

6:03 You broke your mobile glass, Mat?

Can you review nissan x trail?

A question to all Honda lovers. Are the automatic gear boxes good compared to toyotas CVT for example?

Nissan X Trail SUV review please

Germans can’t reach this level of quality n durability ... Japan♥️

I've got a 2.0 petrol Black Edition.. Truly brilliant vehicle.. No issues at all..

This Car is Stunning, best Suv you can buy today. My second Honda CRV and this one is the best

LOVE your channel matt but please sort out the sound.

Great review. I got the 2016 CRV VTI-L ( I'm live in Australia by the way) and we don't have as many of the Diesel variants here. Mostly all 2L or 2.4L petrol. Mine is the 2.4L 4WD and it's not noisy at all. The ride and handling is good. I've only used the paddles once just for a bit of fun. All in All I really can't fault my CRV and I'm really happy with it. I should have bought one years ago I think.

please review the crv turbo

Thx Matt for this Review...perfect as allways (loved the E. Honda-Easteregg). Against your advice, i ordered the 120 PS Diesel...with the "Black Edition" Package! Keep up the good Work!

please review Toyota Innova & New Fortuner

Legend u are for adding in E.Honda!!!

The way you too that corner hahaha. Brilliant.

Can you review the 2018 Honda crv vti lx

5:28 not even the correct dials from the CR-V. Other than that, the review was spot on!

IDC if no one likes this but mats reviews are best

That trunk space is beautiful

Could you please be opening the hood just show a bit of the engine in your videos thanks

Honda CR-V has a great engine range!!! 1.6 diesel turbocharged 1.6 diesel twin turbo charged 2.2 diesel turbocharged 2.0 petrol non turbo. Which if you ask me is the best!!!!! What more range would you want??? Plus it’s a very very reliable car! Cheap to maintain too.

Thanks for the review which i was looking forward to.. Please compare it with other SUVs, like new Tiguan, nissan xtrail, new Koleos etc.. 🙂

Dude - the CR-V isn't a large SUV. Even so, I liked the video. Thanks!

Mat, you and Chris Harris and that girl/lady on telegraph reviewing cars should be the Top Gear crew. Entertaining and informative. Keep it up!

Anyone know how to mirror htc/Samsung android phone to the 2017 CRV SE Plus model? Does using a HDMI port work to mirror the phone?

Wow, this is much better than the specs in Indonesia

What is the best engine in the 2014 model. 2.2 or 1.6?

I'm thinking of moving towards buying a Mazda CX-5 as apparently they handle really well around corners, the 2.2 diesel engine is very quiet and some have great mpg figures/low tax. I really like Honda as a brand and may still get a CRV but to get leather seats it would be the EX model which is more expensive to tax and insure and the CX-5.

Seriously? I always thought it stood for CompactRecreational-Vehicle. Because, in the land of the free, this is considered a 'mid-size' SUV. It sits below those gigantic body on Frame full size SUVs like the Lincoln Navigator, Chevy Tahoe, Escalade etc.

there is lots of wind noise after 100 km/h. But generally it is really comfortable and huge car as you expected

Hi Matt, why didn't you still review the CRV 2018? I just can't find it on KZfaq. Please help.

The easter egg was waaaaay too easy.

I hope a CX9 is coming to UK, just for you to do a review

Some people like a bit of Luxury and choose the EX Trim

I am getting the petrol 2.0 litre engine Honda CR-V has I do live close to the city and the ulez that’s why I ain’t getting the diesel

I love my CRV, but why did they show the Rav 4s instruments when he was on about the fuel consumption been not good?

I'm in a dilemma; trying to decide between one of these, and a Merc ML250/350. About to watch your Merc clip!

Matt, what about the Mazda cx-5, when are you going to cover it?

Does anyone know, can I find this generation of CR-V with 7 seats?

One trip computer said 37.8 mpg and the other said 45.8!

Tittle says 2018 but video published in 2016!!! Didn't know you have a time machine, stop the nonsense click baiting

Idk what Honda CR-Vs u guys get in Britain but we had the redesigned crv for the 2017 model, and we didn’t have the adaptive cruise control for this generation crv

I like the European variant of the CRV a bit better than the North American one.

I've got the black edition 1.6 idtec, manual which has plenty of poke in it over the the petrol version. For practicality it's better then it's rivals probably not as much fun to drive as the Mazda cx 5.

Does europe get north america's 2014 model as a 2018 model?

Love your videos but you've had the same two dirt spots on the camera that films the outside of the car when driving for ages! Clean your lens haha!

Hi Mat.....could u just review Honda CR V diesel 2018 7 seater model ...I am eagerly waiting for that....

I love all your car reviews could you please do the new Toyota vx 2016-2017 review

45 mpg not so good? 40 in kodiaq is alright?

It's been a long time since we have been trying my friend

You should make a review of toyota harrier 2017or2016

Thanks so much Matt for the upload!! :-) Cheers

...it actually stands for 'Compact Recreational Vehicle'.

Can you review the 5th generation Renault Espace, it came out a while ago and a can't find a good english review.

Matt, when are you going to review the latest CRV?

Ok this is the 2016 model when is the redesign model coming to Europe and will it have the 1.5 eathwings engine ?

I love mine , but I was hoping they would bring out a new one . I mean different looking . Thanks great review , like all of yours .

And a wild E-Honda appears in this review lol

That body roll at 5:04, looks like it's bouncing!

Is this ten black edition?

is this a diesel type or gasoline type?

I always thought it always meant Civic Recreational vehicle lol

You are the best reviewer Mat

The CRV is excellent in just about every way you can measure it but it rides like a bouncy boxcar truck. They really should do something to improve ride quality. Only when you have a full load and stick to newly paved blacktop do you get a smooth comfortable ride.

Great review. Will you review the Mercedes GLA too at some point?

Are you guys not allowed to have Cadillacs in the UK?

Mat, the US spec of the CRV is worst. The interior is surrounded with hard plastic, no panoramic sunroof, no paddle shifters, no 9spd trany and etc... We get cheap fabric seats on the EX trim, and a boring CVTransmission. So it's such a boring car to drive around town.

What about Honda Accord 2018?

Can you please review the 2016 refreshed Mazda CX-5?

Do you get the pilot?
