2018 Honda CR-V EX-L Review | Best Value SUV 2018

Is this thing overrated or is it king of the hill with the 2018 crossovers. The 2018 Honda CR-V is only one year removed from it's massive redesign. This 2018 Honda CR-V EX-L Review will cover in detail the pros and cons of the 2018 Honda CR-V EX-L. Some neat features are memory driver seat, active noise cancellation for a quieter ride, and amazing cargo capacity for a vehicle of this size. You'll see why it's a Best Value SUV 2018. I mention a few features missing that you will get on the 2018 Honda CRV Touring trim level as well as a little about the CRV LX. I've got to say, I was pretty impressed.

What did you think? I was definitely impressed by this SUV. This Trim level is a pretty good value but if you don't want leather than the EX is fantastic value for a couple thousand less. Just driving through the parking lot, steering felt tighter and lighter than previous generation CR-V but there wasn't much power with really low speeds until the turbo kicked in...so low speed bumper to bumper would be annoying, but overall felt very smoother at slow speeds.

Leave some comments! Thanks for watching!

Love this Honda crv I just bought a 2018 CRV Touring and love everything about it..Has a lot of power too :) The interior is very nice and comfortable. I don't travel but love the secure feeling of being in a SUV even for in town use and the added room it has is a bonus.. Very Classy Honda SUV

Great review. I’m new to the Honda family having just got a 2019 EX CR-V. What a little beast! Best car I’ve ever owned. The tech included in the EX trim blows my mind. Most other cars all that tech would be on the higher end trims. Best value for your buck. Great ride, great stereo...I really have no complaints. It’s handle our SD Thanksgiving storms like a champ.

I have a brand new 2108 Honda Crv and I love every bit of there is nothing I don't like . And the comment of the touch screen is not a big deal I love everything being on the screen. So you can't go wrong with the 2018 honda crv is GREAT!

Pay attention! There's a lot of complaints about 2017 Honda CRV. Because of more short trips, more city driving and cold weather, the gas is mixing in the oil of the new 2017 Honda CR-V. The 1.5 liter engine does not warm up sufficiently in cold weather and short trips, runs rich, and leaves un-combusted gas in the oil. This triggers engine warning lights and requires frequent oil changes. Engine performance and drivability suffer. This problem is also being reported on social media by other Honda CR-V owners who drive in colder climates. We are concerned that it is causing long term damage to the engine of the new vehicle. I caution prospective buyers to postpone the purchase of a 2017 or newer 2018 Honda CR-V with the 1.5 liter engine until Honda solves to this problem. The fifth generation CR-V is an excellent car in many respects, but this is a major problem. I cannot recommend the car, particularly to those who drive in colder climates, until a fix is found.

I just a few days ago I purchased a 2018 with the turbo, beautiful vehicle.

[AzucenaGomez]

Thank you for this awesome review! Still considering trading my 2016 CR-V EX for this model.

[kathyvanaernam]

Just bought my CR-v EX-L last weekend...what an awesome vehicle! This video was helpful, learned some things that I didn't know...thank you!

[johndaugherty]

An excellent review. I could understand everything you said. Covered a lot of material. Not a bad idea to slow the pace a bit to let the info sink in.

[jerseydebil]

Nice review! I just bought an EX-l two days ago in diamond white pearl and absolutely love it !

[barriemader]

Great video! I have purchased many Honda products. Last being a 2018 CR-V LX AWD. Just love this SUV!! Very happy with it. I live here in NS, Canada. Just wanted to let you know and all American's that all CRV models come with the 1.5L Turbo in Canada. They also have the upgraded stereo. Not the base stereo they offer in the US. All LX AWD models and above have the Honda Sensing Package with all options associated with it! Again, great video, keep up the good work!

[jenky]

Great in depth review, ordered mine, can't wait.

[Crvowner]

Oh cool! Your intro thanking Honda of Rockwall and the other CR-V in the show room looks exactly like mine haha I definitely think its not my car but hey it could be haha

[MannyEmm]

It’s a beautiful car….that’s why I bought one in 2019

[olianatenkorang]

Crushing on this color. Just picked up a 2019 CRV and wish i got this color with the black interior 😭😭😭🤷🏽‍♀️

[dannywarren]
