Still driving my 3rd generation. Still super reliable 11 years later

THIS is the content I scour KZfaq for in the midnight hour.

Honda Engineers in 2013: Should we test thr AWD before we sell it? Honda CEO: Nah. She'll be right

Actually I'm not surprised. I use third generation as my daily car and results reflect my experience. I drive mine off the beaten track from time to time in moderate terrain and indeed, if at least two wheels have some traction car moves forward, no matter, if it's sand, snow or mud. The only problem is with relatively low ground clearance, on the other hand it shines on solid roads.

CRV 3 (RE) forever

Wow, great video! Looks like I'm going to keep my 3rd gen after all

Good demonstration. Managed to find some fresh snowy hills this years in my mk3 and was really quite impressed - AWD kicked in seamlessly and did a great job (on all-season tyres). Just don't take it too far off road.

The 2013 AWD sends thoughts and prayers to the wheels with traction. It looks like it's not even trying :D

Very interesting video. I have a 2012 AWD. I never have taken it off road, but it has done really well in snow. Even the other day, we had a lot of snow/slush and I took it out to test the new Firestone Destination L2's. I kept hitting the throttle hard for a dead stop and could accelerate with little to no drama.

The 3rd gen with the 2.4 i-VTEC will always be my best

My 2007 AWD CRV has been KILLING it in the Colorado mountains!

I've had a 2011 ex-l for about 7 months and I just talked myself out of taking it on the sand...this definitely boosts my confidence on tougher terrain!

Красотка ЦаРеВна CR-V (RE) справилась со всем, кроме последнего испытания. Умничка!

This test was needed since seeing for first time ,good job ,should do all gens of AWD cross overs !

Црв машина класс,владеют третьим поколением и менять не хочу машина с душой.

3rd Gen. I glad I didn’t trade mine in for a newer one. Very interesting results. I’m thinking I need front and rear lockers now.

Тройка лучшая модель! Ездил и на 4 и на 5. На 3 в горы, на охоту, работа. С 2010 в пользовании, 350 тысяч пройдено. Как швейцарские часы!

Decent test but 3rd gen test driver always stepped on the gas while the 4th gen always let the car slowly accelerate and then just kept peddling the throttle. Crvs are great vehicles!

Watching to the end to make sure the 2013 CR-V doesn't get stuck on those leaves on the floor 😂

Wow a very informative video about how various Honda CR-V generations perform . My rating is good , bad , great

We have an '18 CR-V and an '05 Element. Both systems are great. We had a 2013 CR-V and we always knew it was bad but never that bad.

I've got a 2014 CR-V AWD and it's been great in the snow thus far. I've been impressed how quickly it'll send power to the right wheels when it sense's traction loss. I don't think they changed anything from 2013-14 so I'm a little shocked to see it do so badly here.

Btw, not all gen4 are the same. The 2015 and older facelift has the system retuned. At least the 1.6 idtec zf 9 speed acts differently, if you ever have the chance give it a try 😉

Im keeping my 3rd gen 😂

Proud owner of a 2008 CRV. It got me home safely tonight on very snowy and slippery roads. This test proves that it is the safest option of any CRV model!

This is really interesting! We have a 2010 with the 2.4 liter (Canadian) and it is interesting to see that something got worse in the Gen4 model and then back to at least about the same with the latest generation. Funny that Honda doesn't do a test like this with the engineers on board to make the system work better.

The biggest problem with the 3rd gen is that when you turn off the VSA (ESP) you also turn off the traction control and you get no electronic assist or simulated LSD.

I've heard conflicting reports so don't quote me, but supposedly the 4th gen system sends only 25% of power to the rear wheels, and 2017 onward it was improved to 40%. It's officially called "Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control" and both Honda and Acura (non-SHAWD) use the system.

Well, some of these Honda tests make me angry but 100% of them make sense in the context of real driving situations

Hahahaha that 2013 is similar to my neighbors I swear every winter you can hear him cursing Japan and Honda when it snows,he gets rescued every time by myself and others.To sum up the 4th Gen CRV is a mini van,you can't go camping,you will get stuck on snow/ice,you can't tow anything, you might even get stuck when it rains :P it is safe to say the worst AWD you have tested belongs to gen 4 CRV.

That's a very nice and clear test. Good job! It would be very helpful if you also test the 2nd gen crv.

What kind of awd transfer 1% of the torque to the rear wheel? All wasted space, more weight and components (also money)

I came back to this fantastic video because now i am more experienced with honda awd and i found a trick how to bypass that all open diff weakness. While accelerating, gently apply brakes.

Jak zaczalem ogladac ten kanal to myslalem, ze jest to totalnie bez sensu co Pan robi ale ostatni filmik z Ateca i Tiguanem pokazal, ze poprostu SWIETNY KANAL to jest i trzymam kciuki ☺

I like my 3rd gen with the 2.4. Basically indestructible

Im new to your channel and must say its very interesting to see all these differences in every AWD systems. Not sure where to put this request but here it is! It would be nice to see how compares the different systems of subaru. for example a manual vs a cvt ( forester or outback or crosstrek or impreza) vs wrx vs sti. Your channel is great by the way!

У меня хонда CRV-3 2007 года никогда не подводила грязь, снег всё по барабану. Горы рыбалка в лес по грибы всегда уверен в своей машине! Несмотря на то что объём 2.!

Currently, I have the 2021 CR-V AWD (5th Gen) and it's great vehicle,reliable, comfy, roomy, excellent in all type of weather.

Crv 3 Executive navi plus 2.2 cdti... King forever

The 5th gen did surprisingly well despite the CVT transmission

From an Engineer's POV, the 2013 model was tested in a dusty area, when dust and sand particles accumulate on steel rollers traction will decrease hence it will be very hard for the tires to have contact with the rollers.

So 4th gen is the worse of this group? I am just happy that the uploader actually didn't edit it. Bravo!

I’ve got a 2007 ex 81,000 miles still going strong.

Gen3 is really good !!

私もまだ乗ってる3代目CRVが思いのほか、力強いですね笑 ありそうでなかった検証動画ありがとうございます！ Thank you for watching the unlikely video！ It's a good car to own a third generation CRV！

2007 honda crv 3rd generation still better baby...

CRV-3, 2011 так привык, что не могу продать. Мой маленький БМП.

Good job, this is really nice demo. Could you please test honda pilot 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation as well, I believe it will be awesome !

Лопату в комплект, обязательно!

Nice the rear brakes are glowing in the gen 3

1st gen crv w/ 5 speed manual transmission amd 2nd gen w/ 5 speed manual transmission. Those are the best crvs of all generations

i would love to see First Gen Cr-v on rollers

so buy an old or a very new but skip the middle one

3rd gen is the best crv ever made i had my 2008 icdti 2.2 from new and its never let me down EVER

Man that 4th is embarrassing, how could honda scam people like that? They knew what they were doing, u cant design a car and not know what u are selling, they did the tests and installed the cheap systems.

Super test. Dzięki.

Skills,driving technique is another different thing

I saw a video where they put an 4x4 crv with the two front wheels up like this and doesn't even move, and on this video the system works perfect

I will stick to my 2008 crv i love using HONDA😍 2008-2021 is amazing

CRV 3 Gen is good!

Very good test, thanks ...

Hi I really like these videos, they are very informative. Can you test a few more Volvo`s if possible thanks.

Not really sure what the issue is with 4 gen AWD. Have read dozens of comments herewith. Supposedly two main reasons for 4 gen low performance are: 1) AWD system's software/firmware, and 2) clutch pack is weaker as compared to 3 gen. I used to own 3 gen of 2006, 2.4 litres, US edition. My first crossover. Loved it indeed. It had about 175 000 miles on clock when I decided to sell it. It ran fine, ageing anyways though. Engine would be not that silent when cold only. Now I own 4 gen. 2.4. It is known that this gen 2.4 engine is a bit different: torque slightly higher as well as HP. Power steering is electrical, not hydraulic. I think electrical steering saves a bit of power and this is one of the reasons why 4 Gen takes off a bit easier. I like the 4 Gen's performance more. On the highway the RPM is less at the same speed. As for the relative off-road capacity: drove 4 Gen to mountain ski camp on a slippery road. Driving was confident, no issues with slipping. In the city as well - setting off on an icy road uphill from the traffic light as if on a dry surface. Also noticed on 4 Gen the Stabilization system working when driving on icy road. Never noticed the same on Gen 3. Btw, on Gen 4 I am using the same winter tires I had on Gen 3 (kept them when sold the 3 Gen:)). They are Maxxis SS-01 Presa SUV. They are now 5+ y o, still grip quite well.

The 2010 (facelift/restyle model) with a 2.2 i-dtec, diesel engine, is a bit more reactive due to higher torque. But generally this display is accurate.

Thanks for the video, so it would not be advisable to buy the 2012-2014 model? I was thinking of going for it, what I see I do not know if to acquire it ...

Thank You! Amazing comparison! Video is very useful!

For the 2013 model Honda released a software update that solves the problem. Is the newest version installed in this one?

Generation 3 is kickin ass! 💪💪💪

Still driving my 3rd generation from 2009. It’s so damn reliable. Note that your engine sizes are wrong. It’s a 2.4 liter engine, not 2.0

The 4th gen: let's do a dyno

Czy bardzo, bardzo, bardzo serdecznie można Was poprosić o przetestowanie T-Roca 2.0 TSI 4Motion? :) Może w jakimś połączeniu z Karoq albo jeszcze lepiej - Atecą?

Seit der der der Erste CRV raus bis heute ist des ein ein Traum von Auto. Für mich ist es ein sehr schönes cool Auto

I couldn't tell the difference in the model years, i'm not a Honda man to be able to tell just by looking at them. So which one did the best in the video?

This is heart breaking for the 2013 model

I think 4th gen just works more as an economy road car by moving the front wheels first and then the back ones

Треха - самая лучшая cr-v, самая удачная.

I love how that “rock” the newer two but not the 3rd gen. It seems the 3rs is superior.

Pytanie tylko czy 4 generacja to był już model z nowym oprogramowaniem tylnego napędu, ponieważ modele z początku produkcji 2013 za późno włączały tylny Napęd i było i tym głośno, w roku 2014 honda zmieniła oprogramowanie sterowania tylnego napędu i działa on całkiem inaczej tylna oś jest włączana szybciej .

alguien me podria decir cuales son esos rines que tiene la 3ra generation los quiero para la mia porfa...

I have a 4th gen - Could it be the tires? Mine is great and feels like it's got great traction.

I am really disappointed in my 3rd gen 2011, previously i owned two gen 2 petrol and diesel and they both pulled my caravan out of slippery situations i.e. muddy fields, my gen 3 2011 goes no where. I have been researching if there is a problem with the rear differential.

Rollers are the worst case scenario and shows how different awd systems work. In real world it works fine with decent winter tires in snow where a front or rear driven vehicle would stuck, i own a 3rd gen that looks like the one in this video with a 2.2 diesel.

Geração antiga matando a pau as mais novas....

Can you find a first gen and try these tests? I’m curious how the rt4wd would handle

I dont care what no body says, I'm keeping my 3rd gen crv for everrrrrrr, never going near those earth nightmare engines

The earlier Gens are better at AWD. These are just for light snow and rain. Honda's main selling point is safety and reliability.

The crv has become the official sigma car

Не хватает CR-V 1 и CR-V 2)

That 2013 one is terrible anyone know why it's worse than 2007 one?

i really want to know is the awd no use? i mean the up to the 2022 5th gen model..could at tires remedy this?

What tires should I get for winter, I just bought a used 3 gen and I live in pittsburgh

Just got a 2010 as my first vehicle

1st and 2nd models are unbeatable

Would really like to see gen 2. Does it have the same system as gen 3?

The Old Dual Pump system seems to transfer enough torque to the rear axle (2 rear wheels with enough traction), and the reaction is fast but the traction control doesn't seem to transfer enough torque to the rear wheel with traction. Traction Control limitation or overall, not enough torque to the rear axle ?

Witam Czyli w Hondzie CV-R III 2007/2008 jest lepiej niż w nowszej. CV-R IV generacji. Starsza (poprzednia) wyjeżdża z blokady kół przednich, a nowsza generacja CV-R IV 20012/2013 już ma problemy, nie jedzie.... Dobrze zrozumiałem film? Ciekawe że na filmie najnowsza V generacji radzi sobie dobrze tak jak starsza generacji III-ej. ;-). Ciekawe! Może faktycznie kwestia jakiegoś oprogramowania (opcji 4x4) auta... ? Ja w mojej problemu żadnego z 4x4 na razie nie miałem. Pozdrawiam

The 4th gen probably should have come with smaller tires. That would give it a lower drive ratio and better torque.

Is the software upgrade done for the 4 gen. CrV for better performence on the rear axle? Espaciali for that in the video?

Honestly I wouldn’t ever take my CRV off road or expect it to get me out of tough situations... it’s a glorified car on stilts basically. I like it cause I don’t have to bend over to put in car seats for my kid and easy to get in and out of.
