I 100% agree with your review of the new CRV. it's simply amazing for the class it is in!

@ 01:16 - Saw a guy at the grocery store the other day waving his foot underneath the backside of one of these and had no idea what he was doing. It was icy/snowy out and he fell flat on his ass. He had 3 bags of groceries in one hand and a case of beer (in long neck bottles) in the other. He saved the beer, it never hit the ground.

I suspect that while current CRV owners may not care about better driving dynamics, it will help attract more younger buyers.

I love everything about this car and I'm not usually a CR-V guy. It's just really annoying, because I absolutely hate those digital speedometers... why can't manufacturers just make a beautiful watch-like set of gauges anymore? Like a steering wheel and shifter, it's something you spend a lot of time with each time you get in a car. Make it visually appealing, easy on the eyes, easy to read and make it age well with the car. Strangely enough, although there may not be many like me, I don't think I'm alone in not considering cars that have don't have analog gauges (it would have to be an amazing car or the best deal around to buy one with digital gauges). And i'm under 30 so it's not just an "older-person" preference. To me, it just looks like they are cutting costs by sticking in a slab of a screen behind the steering wheel instead of analog gauges.

Hey Steve. I really like this redesign. This actually looks more unisex than ever before. I agree. Honda should offer a more powerful engine with the 8sp dct from Acura.

[MrWang.]

I always hate that auto makers will upgrade the lights to hid's or led's and keep the fog lights halogens. It almost ruins the look of it. It cant be that much more to make them

[PunxsutawneyDave]

I follow quite a few auto reviewers but Steve is the first one to make me take a serious look at the CR-V. Darn it Steve!

[cadsux]

I've always thought that Honda should offer the CR-V with their corporate 3.5L V6. But that would steal some more thunder from the Acura RDX.

[StephenGnos]

It's very sleek, very modern and futuristic looking. It looks like something straight out of one of the Transformer's movies.

[TechGently]

There are grocery bag hooks on both sides (aka hooks for a net). You'll see little buttons, push them and the hooks swing out.

[JoeyIgnacio]

at least they brought the volume knob back rather than that stupid touch control

I have an Escape Titanium and I love it, but this is good! Honda nailed this out of the park! Looks like Ford needs to take some notes and make some adjustments to the Escape to keep it up there with the CRV.

beautiful unbiased review, thanks Steve Hammes

For the people commenting saying it's a boring CVT. the buyer for this vehicle is a small family or an older couple. I work in Sales at Venice Honda in Venice FL where everyone is 55 and over. We sell about 60 CRVs a month out of a little store in a town of 21, 000 people. This is perfect for the buyers we have coming in the door. If you want something sporty go buy a civic hatch or something.

So looking forward to picking up my new 2017 CRV next week. Had a 2010 model and loved it. Glad I watched the reviews too...I'm proud to be a Honda owner. Will never drive anything else again.

[jayhooper]

Awesome vehicle. Honda never disappoints.

[swamig]

The 2017 Cr-v is a huge improvement over the 2016, drove a Touring to fill it up with gas fresh off the delivery truck. Like a whole new vehicle. Now the cr-v will be competitive for people who shop different brands.

[kentgabriel]

still wont offer a panoramic the US. Current CRV and HRV are offered in other countries with the bigger sunroof. But deffinetly an upgrade from current CRV.

[westxtsew]

That wood grain trim design on the doors is a really eye pleasing

Another advantage to a conventional automatic would be some towing capacity. Being able to pull a small utility trailer is really useful.
