The Honda CRV, a car that's been lurking in the shadows of the SUV world for far too long. It's like the JK Simmons of the automotive industry, always there but never really taking the lead. Well, Honda is hoping to change that with their latest version. In this carwow video, the team dives into the design, interior, practicality, and performance of the new CRV.
Let's start with the design. The headlights, with their Volvo-esque shape, catch your attention right away. And the rear of the car, well, it's not bad at all. But here's the thing, folks. That exhaust pipe you see? It's real. But that surround? Fake. Absolutely terrible. Moving down the side, the profile is your typical SUV, nothing too offensive. The alloy wheels are all the same size, 18 inches, but I wouldn't mind a few more inches, if you catch my drift. Oh, and the rain-stopping version gets some dark gray wheels, which look pretty smart.
Now, let's talk about the interior. It's nice and simple, with squidy materials and some chrome-plated door handles. But here's where things get a bit scratchy. The plastics low down feel rather cheap, and the center console is a bit wobbly. Not something you'd expect from a car that can cost up to £54,000. Come on, Honda, step up your game. On the bright side, the layout is well laid out, with individual climate control buttons and a display that's integrated into the buttons themselves. The infotainment system is alright, with wireless Apple CarPlay but no wireless Android Auto. And the digital driver's display, while not the brightest, gets the job done.
Now, let's get to the juicy bits. The driving experience. The CRV handles well, with a smooth and comfortable ride. It's perfect for city driving, especially in electric mode. The visibility is great, with a low dash and thin pillars that don't create much of a blind spot. And the brakes, my friends, they're top-notch. None of that jerky regen effect you find in other hybrids. But there are a few annoying things about this car, like the counterintuitive gear select buttons and the limited functionality of the blind spot camera. On the flip side, there are some cool features, such as the nostalgic noises the drive select mode button makes and the ability to control the climate from your phone.
All in all, the Honda CRV is a decent SUV, but it still has some areas to improve. The design is pleasant, the interior is simple but has its flaws, and the driving experience is smooth and comfortable. It may not be the leading role in the SUV world, but it's definitely worth considering if you're in the market for a practical and reliable family car.
