I don't know about everyone else but when I go on a long trip (ie., summer vacation) I need the cargo space. The spare tire greatly reduces the precious cargo space. Really liked the 2024 Hybrid CRV but can't get past this issue. Wonder how many sales are lost due to this shortcoming.

i bought the spare tire and actually installed it to be sure it worked and it works just fine and a I am happy and feel more secure with it on board all the time

Thank you for producing this video.

Living in Canada, my 2024 Hybrid Touring model comes with the same 235/55 R19 wheels with Continental Cross Contact tires as your vehicle. I have investigated Modern Spare, asked them a lot of questions, to which they have promptly replied. The correct replacement/spare for my vehicle has the same 29” diameter rolling size that the 19” Honda wheels have. So, I do not have to worry about stressing the drive train, like I might if I was to put on a smaller diameter temporary spare.
Why is this important? Because this generation of CRV has a different AWD system than 5th generation models had, in that it is always engaged, and always delivering some torque to the rear wheels. Having a difference in rolling diameter could possible cause the computer to start throwing codes, over time as well as likely causing overheating issues. This AWD system also is fully engaged on reverse as well. (something Hondas Canada told me)

I will likely order up the Modern Spare kit, (tire, rim, tire bag, jack and wrench) and have it shipped to me here in Canada (it does not seem to be available anywhere in Canada). The catch is, factoring in the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Canadian dollar means that by the time I have it delivered, the cost is somewhere near $735.00 Canadian. Seems rather high, until I got a price on the Honda 19” black alloy rim with a Continental 235/55R19 Cross Contact mounted, then it seemed a fair buy. The plus of the MS kit is the space saving size - only 6 inches thick.

Where I live in Saskatchewan it is most common to drive for at least two hours at highways speeds to travel from one city to another, hence the reason for the MS Kit.

I would strap that down securely somehow. If you had a collision or a roll over, you don't want that launching at you and smashing your head like a squashed bug.

Good Choice!!
Last time when my tire's side wall got torn, it was late evening and tire shops were all closed.
My Hyundai Ioniq came with an air compressor and a sealant kit.
So I bought a "#1. spare tire kit $161", "#2. 12V Impact Wrench $40", and a "#3. tire plug kit $6".
Now I can survive in any situation. LOL.
For a nail, I will just plug it and put some air and go.
For a tear, I will put on a spare tire and go.

I always wondered about this; felt uneasy about going on a roadtrip without a spare tire. Awesome video. I am glad there is a solution!

[bobfoss]

Yes, I bought the Modern Spare kit for my 2024 CRV Hybrid. It easily stands up behind the cargo shade mechanism. I move it all the way to the right to make sure I can see well in the back. Gives me plenty of room. The lack of a spare is really the only defect of the CRV Hybrid series, especially when the RAV 4 and other hybrids designed it well enough for a spare.

[lyeow]

this is exactly what I was looking for. I was going to take one winter/all season tire on long trips but that would have taken up lots of space in the trunk.

[Van_Nostrand]

That's a nice kit from Modern Spare. Easy to store and move around. I was planning to buy a CR-V spare tire assembly and jack kit from a wrecking yard to take with me on long trips.

[jontnoneya]

Nice find but I absolute refuse to buy any vehicle without a spare. I was driving an hit a massive pot hole once that actually bent my rim and flattened my tire immediately. It was awful weather and it was bad enough having to change the tire in it but it would have been even worse if I had to wait on a wrecker for a tow. NO THANKS!! Honda you need to do better at designing your vehicles.

I think for the price the base hybrid sport crv (which is under 40k) is the best value there is. I got mine back in july and love it. it's a modern beautiful car with honda reliability. way better than a rav4 which is being upcharged and has added fees at every dealership (and has a dated interior).

[brucekalter]

Interesting & informative. I think that Modern Spare will have a bright future, since so many cars are no longer coming with spare tires! The only thing I would have liked in your review was the PRICE of the spare kit you purchased. Thanks.

[Paulygoku]

got the same spare tire!!! i carry it on my thule box on long trips!! good buy

[mmytacist]

Driven my 2024 Hybrid Touring x-country twice now. I hate that there is no spare, but just signed up for AAA and resigned myself to calling for help if I ever get a severe damage to a tire on the road. If it's just a nail, I'll plug it and drive to the shop myself.

[rickytecon]

Just bought this vehicle. We do long distance trips and will buy his.

[miked]

Honda and Toyota should bring back the spare tire rack on the tailgate. Changes the sleek design but gives you the much needed spare. Good video, thanks.

[jasonwilliams]

It's my understanding that space is designed to keep the battery ventilated and cool, so it's not actually wasted space.

[scienceofsound]

My 2024 CR-V Hybrid Sport came with a tire repair system. I understand that there could be severe tire damage that this would not work for but it should work for many situations for the avg driver. Did yours not come with one?

*Edit - I drive my CRV for Uber and Lyft in Seattle. I recently had it in the shop for a repair and was renting a Polestar 2 that had a severe flat. This also did not come with a spare and only had a flat repair kit which completely failed so I then had to hire a tow truck to take the Polestar 2 back to Hertz and I also lost an entire day of work and pay. I want to get the spare kit mentioned on this video but I have to keep my back area clear for passenger’s luggage. Not sure what I’m going to do at this point.

I love my hybrid Hondas. I recently traded in my 3 rd accord for a CRV. My accords I had 4 flat tires and had to have my car towed to a dealer to have a new tire put on to replace the flat tires. It takes hours if not 24 hours to get a new tire. With this purchase I insisted on a spare. They gave me a full size tire. It takes up half my smaller than accord trunk space. It is heavy and don’t have enough room for it with all our travel baggage. This is a great idea. I just feel like a spare is not a good way to cut costs. The pump they give you instead of the spare did not work. My first flat I put the pump on and it didn’t reinflate the tire and caught on fire. My question is can you store stuff with the battery in the trunk on that extra wasted space where the battery is? I am afraid if I put liquids in there it could damage the battery or overheat it with cloth things in There.

Thank you. Unfortunately the HONDA sales people at Herb Chamber never told me about this. I found out when I blew out a tire on the highway. The Honda 'repair' kit doesn't work for anything other than a slow leak. I would not have purchased the 2022 CRV Hybrid if I was told it does not come with a spare.
