20 years, over 4 Million CR-V's later and still Hondas' CR-V enters 2017 with a bang!
New from the ground up is the 2017 Honda CR-V. The SUV that helped start it all is back in fresh new duds ready to wow all those who are graced with its presence.
Whether you choose the LX 2.4 or Touring 1.5T, you'll be treated to the best in the business in terms of reliability, practicality, styling and more.
With a new all wheel drive system for the new year, Honda has ensured that their consumers living in the snow belt are well cared for regardless of what nature throws their way. And for those chilly mornings heated front seats and mirrors come standard on the EX trim and above. You can even add a heated steering wheel to any model!
Driver and passenger alike will appreciate the plethora of cubbies, cup & bottle holders, padded surfaces and USB charging ports. Rear seat passengers will especially love the additional 2.1" of legroom that have been added, along with the reclining rear seatbacks.
Phenomenal on road handling characteristics blended with stellar fuel efficiency and a quiet ride are just the cherry on top of this award winning SUV.
Available in four trim levels, four new exterior colors and three interior colors finding the right fit won't be hard. Not looking back once you've parked may be.
Grappone Honda is located in Bow, NH just south of Concord and only 20 minutes from Manchester. Conveniently located at the intersection of I89/I93 - come see why we are Driven to Amaze!

This is one of the best auto reviews I've seen - comprehensive, useful information, clear, concise, and a nice (useful real-life AWD demo) wintry trip through a charming New England town! Thanks for the great video. I'll be checking here first for reviews from now on.

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 7 лет назад

I'm so glad that this was as helpful to you as I hope it is to anyone watching when I film these videos. Thanks for your commendation and support!

I bought a 2018 CR-V LX and I’m loving it to the fullest. Plenty of power, room, and features. It has superior handling. The sound system is powerful. The only thing I can wish for is the CD player. The 2018 doesn’t have CD players, but I can do without since most of my music is listened via Bluetooth. This is a 💯 knockout. Way to go HONDA 💪🏽.

I purchased our Honda CRV EX-L AWD a week ago today. I just found your review and would like to say, after watching many prior reviews, yours is the best I have seen so far. I have subscribed to your channel, and look forward to watching more of your reviews in the future. Keep up the great work.

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 7 лет назад

I ended up liking this one so much, that a few months later I got into one myself - they are great! So glad this review brought you to our channel, welcome and enjoy!!

@khawarnaeem7288 7 лет назад

this is such a realistic review. thanks for choosing a lower trim because not everyone will afford a touring.

@timstrom9832 7 лет назад

Great review. Leased a '17 EX-L in Deep Olive Metallic. The review was spot on. The car is sometimes so quiet at low speeds that it seems that the engine is not running. One thing he failed to mention is the ACC when engaged in low speed traffic will bring the car to a complete and if the gas pedal is not engaged for about 15 seconds, there is a "stopped" information message that comes up on the main screen in front of the driver. If the car ahead begins to move, the cruise control picks up on that and the car returns to the control status. Pressing the "resume button or just a light touch on the accelerator will do the same thing. I am 74 and this car is easy for my creaky old bones to get in and out of, very comfortable with the heated seats and I truly love the adjustable lumbar support for my tired old back. I have driven this car for extended times - over 3 hours at a stretch with no discomfort or problems. I test drove nearly every other compact SUV and dollar for dollar the CRV came out on top. Price was negotiated down to $28K with a $291 through with my local Honda Dealer (Stirling Honda) and I am well pleased with everything. I may be a bit biased as this is my 3rd CRV - 2002, 2009, 2017 and they have all been virtually bullet proof with nothing more required except routine maintenance. Couldn't ask for more!

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 7 лет назад

Glad you are so happy with it Tom! I also have a Dark Olive CR-V and am equally as pleased with it. Enjoy many miles to come!

@xoclegin 7 лет назад

Grappone Automotive Group Is the Olive colour hard to maintain like a black vehicle or is it easy to keep clean?

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 6 лет назад

It's definitely not as hard to keep clean as black, but obviously harder than a light colored vehicle.

@WylunCustoms 7 лет назад

@henryhonda8408 7 лет назад

I'm sure those videos are meant for the passengers. If your looking at videos while driving, that's called "distracted driving" and a $500 fine and 3 point against your license my friend.

@jonszabo 7 лет назад

What are you talking about? Who said anything about watching these videos when I'm driving? I'm talking about wanting to see the road he's driving while I'm watching this video, sitting here at home. My suggestion was for him, so next time he edits his next video, he'll hopefully place the other video in the other corner so we can watch the POV video.

Great review you really know your stuff. I notice when you were fiddling with back seats there is no way to stow skis inside without flipping a seat down. Would be so handy to not have to buy a roof rack and fiddle with them up there.

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 7 лет назад

Agreed peterzpictstube. I do wish that more companies would follow the Germans/Euros in adding a ski pass through, even as an option.

@njshore9272 7 лет назад

Great review. I've been looking at reviews of the RAV4 and CRV. I love my local Toyota dealer, but I think you sold me on the CRV. It just looks so much more classy and the gas mileage seems great. I appreciate your detailed reviews. Thanks.

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 7 лет назад

You are welcome, I'm glad that you find them helpful. A few months after I did this review I actually got a 2017 CR-V myself and it is awesome, I can't speak highly of it enough. Let us know what you decide!

@njshore9272 7 лет назад

Grappone Automotive Group Which trim did you purchase? I'm leaning towards the touring because I love the LED lights. But seems pricy just for lights.

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 7 лет назад

I got the EX myself. For me it had everything I was looking for (heated seats, moon roof, Honda Sensing) without the added cost of leather. I ended up swapping out the headlight bulbs to something brighter than the stock halogens and I am fully pleased, no wishing for the Touring headlights.

@celt67 7 лет назад

Good review.

@gsscotland 6 лет назад

That windscreen wiper - headlight feature, I noticed that my 2015 BMW 330 did that. Although it is also possible that the dark rain clouds here made the environment darker and the auto-lights switched on.

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 6 лет назад

You're BMW likely does do that, years ago the 2004 X5 I had did that if my lights were in "Auto" and the wipers came on. It's been a feature on many brands for many years - I'm happy to say that Honda has adopted it!

@dkrzyston8485 7 лет назад

Great video. You mentioned things others haven't. One question...where is the garage door opener? Thanks

@subsk93 7 лет назад

Thanks for suggesting me to watch this video! I really liked it! Definitely, helps me in choosing an SUV that I would want by narrowing down my choice of preferred cars from 3 to 2 - Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5. I agree that this year's model does look more handsome than last year's, a friend of mine also showed me a picture of the Honda CR-V 2018 and that looked even better. Considering a number of features that you get in an EX model I am certainly impressed, it definitely distinguishes itself as a better utilitarian as compared to the CX-5. However, CX-5 does have a more elegant look, with the more luxurious feel and better driving and handling performance. Although CX-5 can't match the EX model with the lesser number of features it offers for its CX-5 Touring model.

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 7 лет назад

So glad it helped you like I was hoping!

@cathyzinn5042 7 лет назад

@k4muk3nu 7 лет назад

The two driver seat memory settings are paired to one of the key each, invoking and applying the memory setting upon vehicle unclock with each repsective key. Oh, and the tailgate opening height is adjustable for the automatic opening.

@handlermarine7760 7 лет назад

Great video! Thank you. Do the headrests on the back seats fold down completely for better visibility?

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 7 лет назад

They do flip down when you fold the rear seats, so in theory you could fold the seat to lower the headrest, then return the seatback to its upright position while leaving the headrest down.

@UncleBodyguard671 7 лет назад

for the vibration test the older 2015-2016 vibrated hard when the vehicle was at a stoplight or stop sign, to simulate the vibration the car has to be in drive with your foot on the brake not in park mode if its anything like the 2015 and 2016 it should vibrate then. I have a 2015 and have since had honda fix the issue but thats how you can test for it.

@samfishman4607 7 лет назад

First, THANK YOU for doing a review on the non-Touring model. I am strongly considering the 2017 CRV to replace a 2010 Subaru Forester. I would love to hear your thoughts on the differences in features between the EX and EX-L (aside from leather) as I am weighing pros and cons, especially price. Thanks for the review; it was VERY helpful!

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 7 лет назад

Funny you mention that, I went from an 09' Forester to the 17' CR-V. Aside from leather, the differences between EX & EX-L are few. The EX-L adds two tweeters in the rear for a total of 8 speakers (same radio as EX), a power passenger seat, memory for the power drivers seat, an auto dimming rear view mirror and a power tailgate. In this trim you can opt for the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System ($1k) - keep in mind that the GPS in your smartphone is equal to or better (so long as you have a cell signal) and can be streamed to the headunit via Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. The EX is equipped with heated front seats, a moonroof, smart access, Honda Sensing, Display Audio headunit and so much more - I absolutely love mine! I am also averaging 30-33MPG per tank of gas with ECON on, A/C off most of the time in a 50/50 mix of city/hwy driving. Let me know if I can help you out with any other questions!

@neelampatil7210 7 лет назад

Does crv have the blind spot camera like the HRV does ? Does it show up in the display screen when you hit the turn signal ?

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 7 лет назад

Excellent question Neelam Patil! Simple answer - no. Honda replaced the camera system with the now ubiquitous radar based blind spot monitoring systems which utilize a side mirror indicator to warn of a vehicle.

@kayfly2186 7 лет назад

Can you please tell if the Blind spot monitors on both side mirrors work consistently on the 2017 CRV? I test drove a 2017 CRV Touring yesterday and the Blind spot monitor did not work in lower speeds when trying to switch lanes. It only worked when I was driving over 40 miles.

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 7 лет назад

The Blind Spot Monitoring System works from 20MPH and above. I have a 20107 CR-V and love this feature, it beeps and blinks if I use my directional while there is a vehicle in my blind spot.

@brucec43 7 лет назад

They have made a midsize crossover with the positive attributes of a compact. Nimble, lighter, less expensive, etc. Of course they come out with this just after we bought a CPO BMW X5 that looks to be about the same size inside.

@TypeRyRy 7 лет назад

I. Love. This new CR-V. I liked the 4th gen. CR-V's minus the taillights - they were terrible. But they not only made the taillights better-looking on the '17 models but made the over body styling of the new CR-V even more appealing.

@suzstephens 2 года назад

What are you saying at 12:35? Automatic_______ what? Thanks!

@zroger73 7 лет назад

My 2008 Infiniti G35 would lower the fan speed while listening for voice commands. That feature has been around for years in brands other than Honda. My 2017 Ridgeline does it, too. Wiper-activated headlights have also been around for many years in various brands. Automatic high beams have been around since 1952 when they first appeared in Cadillacs and Oldsmobiles. Although Honda has made improvements the last several years, they've historically been somewhat behind the technology curve - instead choosing to keep things simple and reliable. Unfortunately, their implementation of some "cutting edge" technology hasn't worked out so well. I've enjoyed the seven Hondas I've owned including my current 2017 Ridgeline RTL-E, but some of the higher-end tech doesn't work as well as it should. The previous CEO of Honda really hurt the company. I'd still rather buy a Honda than any other brand, but they're not what they used to be while their competition has made significant improvements.

@ComicKish 7 лет назад

COMIC KISH IS happy thanks so much for showing me

@ComicKish 7 лет назад

it helps u had the car in park i appreciate it how about when at idle and u put the car in drive like simulating waiting at a redlight

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 7 лет назад

You're welcome, glad it was helpful. Like I said, both myself and Kathy (who helps with production) were very impressed with how little vibration there was. Neither of us noticed any as we drove about in the city/stoplights/traffic etc. This is an entirely new engine for the CR-V and since Honda was aware of the issue for the 2015/16 model I'm sure they eradicated it for 2017.

@a22fc 6 лет назад

Is there a 7 seater CR-V available here in the US? Saw a few videos but those are in Australia

They're on both mirrors on the EXL and Touring.

Yes, the BSM is on both mirrors on the EX, EXL and Touring. The question is if they are consistently lighting up/flashing when cars on in the other lane at ALL speeds.

@immasafebet1668 7 лет назад

Would really like to know the difference between the hr-v and the cr-v and which would you buy?

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 7 лет назад

The HR-V is a compact crossover based on the Honda Fit platform whereas the CR-V is a small crossover based on the Honda Civic platform. Both offer available AWD, come with CVT transmissions and can carry 5 people. The CR-V is definitely the larger, more mature of the two. It also comes in more trim levels with more standard and optional equipment. The HR-V gets better fuel mileage and is easier to maneuver and park in tight places. I recommend checking them both out back to back to determine which fits your needs, budget and personality best!

@tahjo7 7 лет назад

In Canada, they offer a panoramic moonroof in the touring model, it sells for 38k CAD (29k USD). We didn't get It because we have Acura here in the States. Sucks for us. HDMI port was deleted too. Honda of America takes a loss for that.

When listening to MP3 via USB, can you see the album art? Also can you add your own background picture?

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 7 лет назад

Geoff G, it seems to depend on what type of device you are using. CarPlay/Android Auto will show album artwork, as will Pandora. It is possible that something such as an iPod or MP3 player will also, but for that I can't comment since I didn't try it. Maybe an owner can though.

@arteverywhere1286 7 лет назад

what are the differences between the EX-L and touring? I know the touring is the only model that comes with LED headlights. Other than that what else?

What is the average lease cost on the EX-L or for a $28,000 negotiated price?

@308_Negra_Arroyo_Lane 6 лет назад

I've been hearing complaints about wind and road noise, how is yours doing?

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 6 лет назад

I wouldn't say it's enough to complain about, but it is is something Honda could work on. 98% of the time I have music going, but when I don't there is some wind noise around the B pillars around 60 MPH, that changes to mirror noise around 70. It is not obnoxiously loud, just there. As for road noise, it's pretty well in check. There is tire noise, but again not enough to be bothersome to me. I'm sure different tires will have an effect on this, I have the stock Bridgestones currently but will be switching to dedicated winter tires soon.

@308_Negra_Arroyo_Lane 6 лет назад

Thanks. I'm less concerned about wind noise but really hate the drone of tire noise. Interestingly, don't they all come with active noise cancellation? Doesn't it work?

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 6 лет назад

Yes, all the CR-Vs come with ANC now. To my knowledge it is working (you can't turn it off to test), like I mentioned the tire noise isn't loud. I would recommend taking one out for a good drive and listening for yourself if the road noise that makes it into the cabin is bothersome to you - I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

@SparkingLife111 7 лет назад

ok so crazy question. i thought the ride was supposed to be smoother in this new model. nobody saying anything about that. i want to feel less bumps in the road. anybody notice a difference?

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 7 лет назад

I actually liked the CR-V so much that about a month ago I went and got one for my daily driver. I love it. It does have a comfortable smooth ride, feels very solid and has good reflexes (for an suv). I am also averaging between 30-33 MPG per tank of gas - couldn't be happier!

@dogwomanhere 7 лет назад

Over all it's been a good car-really nice re-design. But keep in mind I've had mine for only 3wks now. There is a slight lag on exceleration-but is good once it goes beyond that initial 1 or 2 sec. My only complaint at this time-BLACK interior!! It shows EVERYTHING and I am driven mad by it. I have the EX-L 4 WD. It is an easy car to drive, responsive, nice road feed back. AND it's pretty quiet cabin-the one thing which caused me to buy a Toyota 4 Runner back in 2006 over Honda. I have one question; Does anyone know if there is a digital read out on MPH Fuel consumption? So far I can't find one.

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 6 лет назад

The i-MID (display in your gauges) has an instantaneous "bar graph" style MPG readout that you can scroll to. That screen also shows the average MPG since your last fill up.

@dogwomanhere 6 лет назад

My battery died-a mystery to all. Anyway....Once re-charged the bar graph showed up(default settings). All is good. Thank you!

is it better to get the front wheel drive model or awd models?

@omgitsme435 7 лет назад

Kristjan Preka with only a 1mpg difference, I'd get the awd unless you rather not pay for it. Bad weather, tires make more difference

@kris93_ 7 лет назад

W-_-T I was thinking of getting fwd and winter tires on it because there was no difference. and I hate the fact that if one tires wears out all 4 will need to be replaced is that still true on this car?

@omgitsme435 7 лет назад

In general they'll wear out around the same time regardless. And if you notice the front going first, people also rotate the tires. It's not like this car is a 300HP RWD. But AWD does help cornering grip and less hassle off straight line when you need the power. AWD also carries a higher resale later, people just like having it, if not needed anyway

@kris93_ 7 лет назад

W-_-T sweet thanks for the info, its only an 1300 add on option which isn't much

@mapleridge8326 7 лет назад

Great for very small people like you, but the real question is the FRONT passenger seat does it give a person (6 foot 3 inches tall) as much leg room as a Nissan Murano?

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 7 лет назад

Seen as how I'm not 6'3" and we do not represent Nissan, nor have I been in a Murano at any point, I will not be able to answer that for you. However if we have any kind viewers that are tall and have been in both vehicles, perhaps they will oblige.

@jeanneriley1197 7 лет назад

If you go to the Honda and Nissan websites, there is a specification chart for each vehicle model where you can find the exact measurements on front leg room for each vehicle and compare them.

forsale mailid it’s the light color interior that worries me. But I love the blue.

@10tenman10 7 лет назад

Very nice vehicle. The engine seems small in my opinion and the CVT transmission sort of sucks.

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 7 лет назад

I have to say I was really surprised with the power output and delivery of this little engine, the turbo really helps it out. While a CVT is definitely not my first, or second choice for a transmission it did handle this ute well.

@tremainereeves5124 7 лет назад

Why u Don’t get the touring??

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 6 лет назад

Around here the EX-L is the most popular trim level. Often times you find RU-vid reviewers only using the top trim levels, which can be frustrating and I didn't want to cause that.

@N0teaga 6 лет назад

Grappone Automotive Group Is a big difference between those 2 the touring & the exl?

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 6 лет назад

Not huge. The Touring comes with full led headlights, standard navigation (optional on EX-L) with a subwoofer, slightly different wheels, chrome trim on the exterior, rain sensing wipers and a foot activated power tailgate. This is all in addition to the heated power leather seats, moon roof, touchscreen audio, dual-zone climate control, auto-dimming rear view mirror and more that is included on the EX-L.

@N0teaga 6 лет назад

Grappone Automotive Basically just touring it isn’t worth it I was was thinking getting the Touring u can add the navigation Foot power tailgate to the exl the only thing is the music I think is the big different

Test drove the new 2017 Honda crv why the hell did it feel like I was driving my 2010 Honda civic? Nice car and all but it was lacking a solid feel when I drove it. I thought it would be more exciting to drive it was just meh....

@manostroulinos1726 7 лет назад

Great review thanks very much for sharing! One minor complaint: On the video, please place the inset picture of the driver at the upper left or right corner, instead of the bottom right, we can't see the road as you are driving, which sort of defeats the purpose of the footage... :-)

Ford has been doing the wipers on lights on for a number of years. If Honda is just now getting to it then they are behind.

@Scott-mk7tz 7 лет назад

Hmmm.....turbo huh? Only time will tell how often they need to be replaced. Hopefully this feature wont damage Hondas stellar reliability reputation.

The backup camera is convex and so water droplet stay on it and freaze. Very horrible.

@GrapponeAutomotiveGroup 7 лет назад

Unfortunately this does happen. I have yet to find a backup camera that it doesn't occur in however, you should try marketing you idea - it could be a real winner!
