While there are unlimited options, we help point out why the CR-V is one of the better choices to test drive. This car competes with the Mazda CX5, CX50, Toyota RAV4, VW Tiguan, Ford Bronco, and Subaru Outback.

Ended up going with the CR-V hybrid over my first choice, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. The mileage around town is quite good.

Can we talk about the fact that Mark turned right, instead of left... Mind. Blown.

It's the kind of vehicle that America wants: reliable, functional, comfortable, and economical. It doesn't matter that it's a snore to drive. Decent tunes and comfort win out.

Better late than never guys. You are still the kings of automobile reviews on the Internet. Full stop.

I purchased this same trim, coming from owning BMWs for years and sick of the cost of ownership and reliability issues. Yes, this is not a BMW, not even close in terms of the driving dynamics. However, the trade off to me is worth it. Mark nailed it—this just does everything well as a practical vehicle. Super happy with it.

I had a 2017 CRV then I bought the Sport Touring in May. It's feels like a class above the last gen. It does everything i ask it to. I avg, 36-40 in city driving. Took 2 back-to-back 500 miles trips shortly after purchase and got 28 mpg w/ the cruise set at 80. Seats are great for an all-day trip. No need to have any reservations about your purchase.

This is just about the best “daily” for a sports car owner. Keep the princess in the garage and stack the miles, kids, fast food stops, dogs, and everything else into one of these.

Currently own a 3-series and this CRV Hybrid. There is nothing wrong with carving corners on Monday and being blissfully transported on Tuesday. Sometimes you want a spa experience over Gran Turismo. It's an excellent vehicle... perfectly and luxuriantly numb. When I need to plan my day-CRV. When I want to escape my day-BMW. Both have their benefits.

Honda's current design language is on point imo. Cars (including previous year Hondas) have gotten too busy and aggressive looking for my taste lately. It's nice to see Honda pull back and make more clean, understated but nice looking vehicles again.

Bought the 23 sport touring 6 months ago, 12k miles later it's been a good car so far. It does everything well and shoots above it's class with refinement. Feels like a German vehicle on the inside.

[thesj]

It certainly looks much better than before.

I bought nearly the identical model to the one you guys have, about a month ago. Have 3100 miles on it. My job requires me to drive about a thousand miles a week so I spend an inordinate amount of time driving and I have to say, between the seat and the driver assist features, the miles just melt away. So effortless to drive hundreds of miles a day.

The sport mode can be a legit amount of fun and livens up an otherwise sedate driving experience.

I’ve seen up to 45 MPG and I get about 500 miles to a tank.

Filled up my tank with the gauge cluster telling me I had 5 miles left to go; only put a bit over 12 gallons in it (14 gal tank) so I still had over 60 miles of range. Could push a tank to 550 I think without much issue.

Great vehicle that I will be keeping for the next several years

I honestly will say the 2023-24 remodel looks so darn good compared to my 2021. I bought this car to be boring on purpose. I was tired if driving cramped, severely under powered compact sedans/ hatchbacks. Im 29 no spouse or kids. I just wanted comfort because I'm basically an old soul. I wanted room for friends/ and family, room for road trips, room for the occasional Ikea run. It completes my basic average lifestyle without breaking budget and for that I absolutely love Honda for this vehicle.

13k on my ‘23 Sport Touring. Their description is spot on. Not exciting, but I like getting in it every day. Best seat I’ve had in years. Smooth, quiet, economical, reasonable driving experience. I can’t imagine not having one of these. One beef: Bugs are really tough to get out of the plasticky nooks and crannies on the front end.

My wife has a 2017 CR-V and we love it! Seriously, the most easiest car I have ever driven. Truly a Comfortable Runabout Vehicle!

[Skfkfa]

As a car guy, who had everything from 427 big block to turbo 4 Japanese sports car to bi turbo v6 german and no longer into cars, I can see the appeal of this and Toyota equivalent. I’m in the stage of life where I don’t give a fuck about what I drive nor have the time to spend around cars. This seems like a perfect tool to get me to places so I can do things that matters.

[sappyjohnson]

I love the interior now. Can't go wrong with a CR-V. Kinda boring but it's a Honda. They are so damn reliable.

[shakethedrummer]

My brother in law bought this. Very good car for all those points. Practical, comfortable, plenty of features/tech

[sleeksilver]

This is the one I'd buy in the segment after the CX-5/CX-50. I dont care how NPC it is, it works, its reliable and its super practical.

[robertsiebenmann]

I drove from Las Vegas to Anchorage in my 2023 in 5 days with 56 hours total driving time and it totally crushed it

[cloudk]

Picked one up for my mother earlier this year. Best parts for me are the good blend of power/economy, rear cargo space, and simple interior design. CVT will always be odd for me personally, but as a daily it checks all the boxes of getting from A to B with content.
