2017 Honda CR-V Review and Road Test | DETAILED in 4K UHD! 

50mph is not highspeed

Alex is STILL THE BEST AUTO TESTER that i trust. Alex has EXCELLENT ASESSMENT RATINGS on cars and trucks.

I agree, ALEX ON AUTO is GREAT in his AUTO REVIEWS. He COMPREHENSIVELY breaks down AUTO COMPARISONS. Alex is the ONE TO WATCH for AUTO REVIEWS.

Same here

I know your comment is old, but you should look up "CR-V center buckle issue". You can NOT have 3 people seating in the back if you have one car seat behind the driver. The buckle positioning is criss-crossed, which prevents the middle seat from being buckled.

Ankur Sharma, I agree with you. My sister bought one the other day. The EXL and it is a good looking SUV inside and out. Nice ride and very good gas mileage is awesome to for an SUV.

I'm torn between this and the 2nd gen, the third gen looks a lot like a minivan.

Alex On Autos is the best review, information, and auto selection on the web, period. The problem is that social networking has given the ignorant voice… A very powerful voice, in fact, if you pay them any mind. To hell with all of them.

Johnson L smile , I know the feeling .

Got a 2017 CRV- T AWD: Somehow don't get above 32 even on high and even with old grandma style driving.

You need to break in the engine, just like my civic with the 1.5t, I didn't get the estimated fuel economy till around 3-5k km so.

thats not a surprise. I never get the 2014 Civic's advertised 30city/39hwy. i average 25combined or 23city/30hwy. If I drive like grandma I can get it up to 28 average max. I drive in NY, and I think some of this has to do with the excess amount of traffic and air pollution. If I were you I wouldnt expect more than 27mpg average depending on your location. at 14:25 Alex reports averaging 29.5 mpg.

Can I be your daughter and buy me one? I'll give you my car with 15,000 miles in it? Lol

Marie Pal xD

loud engine noise and cheap instrumental panel which is scratched very easy.

I test drove the new cx-5 and cr-v the last weekend. The new cx-5 engine made more noise and felt less powerful accelerating onto the highway compared to the new turbo 4 in the cr-v. Both are great vehicles but I'm weighing more toward the cr-v now.

its not super reliable. lol. google 1.5t cr-v gas in engine oil

I want to get there crv but am concerned about the oil dilution issue. Have you experienced this?

I'm in the same position as you are right now looking at both 2017 models. However, i haven't test driven either yet. And to be fair you can't compare the Outback 3.6R to the CR-V at all. That particular model is in a different league altogether. So make sure to test drive the 2.5i Limited Outback against either the CR-V EX or EX-L trim to be fair. Now when it comes to reliability there both damn close to each other. However, the Subaru Outback hasn't changed since it's refresh back in 2015. So it's got the advantage over the Honda of 3yrs on the market with minor tweaks here and there. But nothing to warrant staying away from the vehicle over anything major mechanically speaking. Where as the CR-V refresh was done in 2017. And is only in it's second year with the 2018 virtually untouched from it's debut. That being said, without even test driving either vehicle i'd go with the Subaru. The 2.5i is a VERY underrated engine even though it's got less horsepower than the CR-V it suits most peoples needs just fine. However, it's HUGE advantage over the CR-V is it's NOT A TURBO. And that's where i get concerned with the CR-V's long-term reliability. What is nice is that CR-V Turbo doesn't need premium fuel and can run just fine on 87 octane. But regardless if you still want to get the best performance from a turbo. You really should be filling it with premium fuel. So the Outback wins HANDS DOWN in this very important area. Not to mention it's AWD is THE BEST out there and even Subaru can't hold a candle to it. So that all said, good luck with your decision i know how tough it can be. Hopefully my points make your decision a little easier.

Pixel Junkie it's not like this is his first review. It comes with practice and experience as well

What an odd thing to criticize. It was obvious I was joking. You are one odd cookie.

very tough

What color did you get? Any thoughts after having it for 2 weeks? We just test drove one over the weekend and waiting for a 2018 Black with Ivory interior AWD EX-L.

Mayor of Sexy Town So far, so good. Great mileage with the eco function selected, good handling, decent acceleration - I don't pound on it, so midrange acceleration is good as is low end torque. Leather seats good, but wish I had one more inch of legroom.

Nice!

Mayor of Sexy Town Forgot to answer your question. I got me CR-V in silver. Thanks
