@ 01:16 - Saw a guy at the grocery store the other day waving his foot underneath the backside of one of these and had no idea what he was doing. It was icy/snowy out and he fell flat on his ass. He had 3 bags of groceries in one hand and a case of beer (in long neck bottles) in the other. He saved the beer, it never hit the ground.

I love everything about this car and I'm not usually a CR-V guy. It's just really annoying, because I absolutely hate those digital speedometers... why can't manufacturers just make a beautiful watch-like set of gauges anymore? Like a steering wheel and shifter, it's something you spend a lot of time with each time you get in a car. Make it visually appealing, easy on the eyes, easy to read and make it age well with the car. Strangely enough, although there may not be many like me, I don't think I'm alone in not considering cars that have don't have analog gauges (it would have to be an amazing car or the best deal around to buy one with digital gauges). And i'm under 30 so it's not just an "older-person" preference. To me, it just looks like they are cutting costs by sticking in a slab of a screen behind the steering wheel instead of analog gauges.

For the people commenting saying it's a boring CVT. the buyer for this vehicle is a small family or an older couple. I work in Sales at Venice Honda in Venice FL where everyone is 55 and over. We sell about 60 CRVs a month out of a little store in a town of 21,000 people. This is perfect for the buyers we have coming in the door. If you want something sporty go buy a civic hatch or something.

I've been looking at a new RDX, mostly drawn by the V6. I see this as better looking in and out. Better AWD design, suspension, center stack (no 2 screen distraction). Would be nice to see what the EX trims feature/look like, don't like Touring model wheels, particularly the impractical gloss black paint. Faux woodgrain rarely looks good.

Just learned the murano at nearly the same exterior length and weight as the crv has more interior volume. I thought hondas were the gurus of interior space, so how can a similarly sized murano have more passenger volume? The crv has more cargo volume so it puts the priority on your stuff while muranoputs the priority on people.
@K03sport 7 жыл бұрын
nailed it as always...agree, a larger displacement turbo motor would have solidified the CR-V as the (only) go-to in the compact SUV segment, forcing the hand of the other major players...the NA market would easily benefit from a 2.0T in the EX & above CR-V while the LX/SE could have championed the 1.5T...do you know if the HR-V will get the Earth Dreams motor? Is there an HR-V update due out soon?

Thanks for the review. Love the shot of you passing in front of the "Hudson River Front" overpass sign, and the one right afterward of the spinning wheel. As for the car, I'll have to see it in person. To me, these days, Hondas keep getting better and better while getting simultaneously uglier and uglier. I also don't understand this right lane camera business Honda likes (Lane Watch). Why not just the usual blind spot monitoring system? Don't Honda drivers have blind spots on their drivers' sides, too? This was a big negative in our research into the Fit and Civic.

is the rear wheel use tradional rear differential or the electronic motor
@stevehammes 7 жыл бұрын
The CR-V's all-wheel drive system consists of the conventional front-wheel-drive system, a compact transfer case that distributes torque through the propeller shaft running the length of the vehicle, the rear differential, an electronically-controlled hydraulic pump, a multi-plate clutch, and left and right rear-wheel driveshafts. The multi-plate clutch connects the propeller shaft to the rear differential and is operated by an electric motor driving a hydraulic pump. For 2017, the maximum hydraulic pressure has been increased, resulting in a 57 percent increase in the available torque transfer to the rear axle. The electric motor is controlled by the Intelligent Control System, which means that the system can actively apportion power based on the conditions. The system doesn't merely react to front wheel spin; it minimizes wheel spin before it happens by sending power to the rear wheels accordingly. For efficiency, the electric motor activating the hydraulic pump is idled when not required, further reducing drag within the system and helping to reduce energy consumption.

Test drove a CR-V Touring right after an Escape Titanium, and the power on the CR-V feels anemic and the ride less sporty. I love it's design and it's awesome technology (the hands off lane assist for 3 seconds is a marvel to witness), but the engine and drive, for me, is dismal and boring. When you mash the gas, the engine whine sounds like you're hurting it. No paddle shifters and a tiny moon roof to boot?? Come on, Honda!! I do also understand that it has 50 less hp than the Ford, but I do think Honda made a mistake by not offering other engine choices. On the other hand, the interior volume is a sight to behold for a car in this class. I'm so torn. LOL

Stillnfrumpy looking. It's certainly no murano. It lost weight? It still nearlt 2 tons it weighs as much as a mid-sized murano. But murano has260hp. Murano wins this comparison for me. Murano has better sound with 11 speakers vs 9 better acceleration7. 1 to 60 vs8. And you go further on a tank of gas in the murano. Only murano has surroundview cam, cooled seats, panoramic moonroof. Obviously it has more interior vole being a bigger suv: 108vs105

This is an aggresive look? Still frumpy looking. The crv is nearly 2 tons about the same weight as the mid-sized murano that has 260hp doubling the hp of the turbo in the crv. thr murano gets better safety scores, goes further un a tank of gas and is quicker from 0-60. There is no reason anyone should choose a Crv over a murano! Sume might argue that they are not in the same category. they are both 5 passrnger crossovers with CVTs, but themurwno gives you more luxy, speed and more milesnon a tank of gas. Winner? Xmurano by anlandslide! Sorry honda you need more power and a more reliable turbo that doesn'r dilute oil to compete
