2020 Honda CR-V vs. 2019 Honda CR-V | Here's What's Different With Each Trim!

Honda refreshed the 2020 CR-V even though it's already a top selling crossover. Changes include a new front fascia, changes to the rear taillights and bumper, center console changes inside, and a change in powertrain for the base CRV LX. These two are the 2020 CRV Touring and 2019 CRV Touring. I try to cover the differences with the CRV EX and EX-L as well even though the most changes come with the LX and Touring.

Did they do a good enough job refreshing the 2020 CR-V?
Let me know below!
I haven’t heard anything new about the oil dilution on the 1.5T if you want to fill me in!
*Thanks for watching and have a great day!*👍

I have a 2018 2.0 petrol model, it runs like a dream, lots of comfort, love the reversing from Ireland

🇨🇦 I used to work at Honda Canada manufacturing in Alliston Ontario where they manufacture the Honda CRV, the panoramic sunroof is only available in Canada on the Touring model, the heated steering wheels were for Canadian models only and Canadian models had heated rear seats, I retired from there after 30 years as of last June, watching you from north of Toronto 🇨🇦, this is a great video comparison, keep up the great work 👍

[sierramalella]

I think the 2019 one looks better. Inside and out.

As owner of a Honda 2017 CR-V EX I can say I totally love my CR-V. Honda can’t improve on perfection, but I do really like the 3 new colors added and the new wheel rim design.
Thanks for a great side by side comparison, excellent review as always Nolan. 👍🏻

[stephelawson]

We have a 2019 Touring but are in Canada and our Touring has far more options included 👍🏻 Love the panoramic roof and the kids love the rear heated seats. It’s an incredible vehicle! 👍🏻

Only thing I like about the 2020 redesign is the new exhaust tip shape.

I'm super happy that I have invested in the 2018 2.4 liter LX, that engine is fantastic!!! The refresh is great especially with the exterior. Yes, the oil issue has been resolved. Just waiting to see who heads gonna roll. I personally feel that the engine should've remain. The 1.5 turbo needs to be replaced with the 2.0 turbo. Excellent review Nolan 👍

[paulblart]

you can add some of this to 2017-2019 models to get it almost the same.. exterior side Chrome trim, interior wood trim, wireless charging pad, and HD radio are all easy and inexpensive to add to 2017-2019 CRV EX

[Armmani]

I like the front of 2019 model much better.

[yilinxu]

I bought the 2020 CRV because I trusted Honda and found out the oil dilution issue. Although I don’t have the problem on my car yet, I’m already feeling so stressed about it. It’s almost impossible to fix with just a “software update”. Just pray my car won’t have the problem...

[daveincv]

I just got one..i like it coming from a 5.4L Ford..loving the30+MPG its a little slow on the takeoff but not racing anyone so not a issue.

[Thomasjcolbert]

I'm looking at buying one myself and have a 2004 civic si with a K24 swap and supercharged. Still runs 16 years later!!

[Patreatzya]

I love my 2019 CR-V EX-L. Got it last September 28, 2022 and loved it ever since. I don’t know if a 2020 Touring or not is better, but I wouldn’t trade my car in to find out. My car is reliable and can’t complain at all. Lovely car.

[corpuzone]

Thanks for the comparisons here. Just proves to us interested prospects that even 2019 models are still worth every penny. It looks identical with just a few very small changes that’s not even huge! Plus a little more affordable considering the global chip shortage amid pandemic 😷. Keep researching for a good deal around dealers. Buying new seems better because used seem pricier than a new car very weird.. but keep in mind markups on new vehicles 😬

I took a 2020 CR-V EX hybrid for a test drive last week while my car was getting an oil change and it's a much improved CR-V vs my wife's 2017 CR-V LX. As for myself I drive a 2019 Honda Insight EX hybrid, it averages an incredible 55 mpg city/hwy. If I were buying something today I'd get the 2020 CR-V EX hybrid, the EX trim is everything most people need.

[jinlorenzo]

Great comparison, Nolan! I’m very disappointed that they replaced the gunmetal metallic for the refresh 2020 models. Too bad that was one of the greatest exteriors from Honda.

[donaldwilson]

I just bought a new 2020 CR-V EX 2WD and I love it. I chose the EX because the LX was a little too basic for me and the EX has great features for the price including heated seats, the upgraded audio system with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration, dual zone climate control, and a sunroof.

[pingopong]

Is it just me or does everyone think the 2019 looks better

[marks]

Sorry to see the rock solid 2.4L gone. Replaced it with the 1.5L oil diluting turbo engine. We’ll see how that works out for Honda.
