Honda CR-V Facelift FULL REVIEW test driven compact SUV 2016 - Autogefühl 

This is why I like RU-vid reviews so much, random dogs running and those parts do not get edited out, awesome! ;-)

Best CR-V review on RU-vid. Your explanation is very clean and objective.

I love the random dog that just trots by at 2:14. :) Nice review, as always, Thomas.

Another great Thomas review. Can I suggest adding reliability comments on the brands that you review?

A very detailed review, far better than most in the Uk, one thing i did want to see what the sound system, in the Uk it says the EX top of the range has a subwoofer, but it does not mention an amp etc, a little more detail on this would have been appreciated. Great work though.

i m always happy to see ur new upload...Thanks Autogefühl ... Mj ali From Pakistan

Great Review.

Great and honest straight to the point review, Thanks Thomas, many a japanese cars never seem to design their seats for tall drivers. As you have said, am not too comfortable with the design of the back and leather looks cheap.

Thanks again Thomas and team. One word about the seats for tall people, remember they also have to let shorter people have their feet on the floor... wouldn't work (or hurt) if the seat base was longer (adjustable means extra cost/weight... hardly a priority for rear seats).

that leather is the same premium Milano leather used in the higher trims acura. Very soft.

Good review again, i like your channel from the start. What SUV in the compact segment would you prefer with reference to a strong diesel combined with automatic gear box and all wheel drive (except "premium" brands). All the best.

Thanks a lot

Thomas, I agree that the rear end is not the most beautiful part of it. For the rest, this car is a splendid one. By the way, nice smile of yours, hahaha. Good idea to introduce a little humor in your videos ;-)

I'm waiting for Mitsubishi Outlander 2016 test. I hope it will be soon. P.S like always great review :)

Hi! Nice review as allways! Will u make a review of the new civic type r? Thanx!

You are the best !

What Kind of motor oil you using. is it oW 20 like here or different? Please let me know Thank You.

for me always Honda ,because they have extremely durable and high-quality engines, especially gasoline. Thanks for the great test!

the bike and the dog and Thomas kept talking about the car. Funny

i Have 2016 mine its not 1.6 diesel.or 2.0 L Petrol.Mine its a 2.4 Petrol we say GASOLINE 185 CV or HP,,,Can That be possible? Oh forget tp mention Automatic. cvt transmission AWD,,,,question if I take that to Portugal do you think I will have Parts if I need them?

Thank you for another good review Thomas! What is the HDMI outlet for? Playing things on the infotainment screen?

Great job again Thomas. maybe in the future you can test a Subaru Forester or Subaru Outback. thanks Toni

Very good review as always! I really like CR-V. I wonder why you still don't have RAV4, Forester and Kuga videos??? Please do it for us! Thank you Autogefühl! :)

Hopefully the 160 PS diesel engine will be available in the Civic too. Nice review BTW.

Hi Thomas, great review as usual... A question, what about the all new Honda CR-V 2017?

Hi and thank you for a good review. During the testdrive, your right knee looks kind of cramped and without space. Was that the actual situation or could you have moved the seat back to get more legroom?

outward visibility is the best in Hondas. They really care about visibility!

Hi Thomas. As always, a very good review. These reviews, as always, are the best detailed reviews - in any media format - for a car-nut like me. And interesting to compare this car, and its interior, with the New Tiguan interior, which - in my opinion only - is more premium; and drives just a little better. I think! (PS. congrats to all the team - sound, camera, edit etc!).

He sounds like someone in a Monty Python Sketch 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ah! The CR-V from the Making Of.

hey Thomas, I'm a car enthusiastic and love to drive i have decided to go with octi 1.8 TSI i have a family and dogs to carry, this new CR V has got my attention as I've heard it drives like a sedan. should i go with octavia or CRV as crv being a SUV will be pratical.

when will you do the review the Honda HR-v? :D

Is this review also is same for 2015 model as well? since the face-lift came in 2015.

thank you for the information, I would like to know if it is long enough for someone to sleep in if the seats are down

price ?

@autogefuhl what would you choose for a young family with 2 small kids between 2016: Honda CRV 2.0 Petrol Manual, Toyota RAV4 Hybrid CVT or Mazda CX5 2.0 Petrol Manual? Thanks!

The front design is you like it or you hate it. In my opinion Honda needs to work on their exterior design. Good product but the wrapping is not attractive.

oh and about the iACC I don't find the idea to always slowdown when someone merges to be a good idea, my Golf7 do that only if then it's confirmed they are slower.

Hey Thomas. Great review as always. I came here because I was curious to know what you thought of the older CRV. Price differences between this and the new one in Rome are €10K so my question is whether, having tested both, do you think that I should go for the newer one? It is worth that extra €10K?

lol @2:14

Thank you for the review, Thomas und Autogefühl. I have to say that I cannot see anything charming from this car. The exterior is very strange and looks confused, especially the front. And the back looks to big from the profile as you said in the video. The interior is messy too, too many screens, the dashboard screen looks 10 years old, as we are able to see the pixles., this is ok with my Giuilietta QV for exemple, but not with a new Honda ;-). I find for exemple that Hyundai Tucson (although it's not perfect) or Mazda CX-5 are much more charming. Keep up with the awesome job, Thomas ;-)

Interesting, you get a lot more features compared to the Canadian version. We miss the parking sensors, soft pad for the knees, also the headlights are not as nice and no washer for the headlights. Not to mention the panoramic sunroof!

Ciao Thomas! Did you check your shoes for bicycle tire marks?!? 😉 Car reviewing can be dangerous, no? My parents recently bought a 2011 CRV (one owner, low mileage, like new!) and they couldn't be happier. Question: why are the prices so much higher in Europe vs N. America (in general). You have so much more competition with the manufacturers I'm surprised at the high comparative prices. Tax policies?? Great review, as usual. Ciao.

On a test drive I could not find a comfortable seating position because stearing wheel fly out adjustment was ridiculously small. Also, the old 5-gear auto gearbox it terrible. 2.0 petrol combined with that gearbox is completely anemic. Interrior is quite good, though.

Somehow I feel that this car is more for the US market. By the way Thomas, you are sitting too close to the steering wheel. Look at your right knee in this video... It is too close to the dashboard. Was that because the chair could not go back any further?

Bro is bonnet / hood visible while driving from driver seat in normal driving position for person of height 5’9’’

Nice review! Do you know why we get outdated vehicles in Germany? I mean the US car reviewers show the newer 2016 version already, with a straight shifter like you'd prefer. Same with the Civic.

I wouldn't go for the CR-V. The Mazda CX-5 has a better interior, better performance, better looks (for my taste) a better infotainment and a better quality materials. As you said the CR-V is kind of lazy but the CX-5 is more agile and nimble. Great review as always

Nice dog :))))

very good review, a little bit too critical

I see many incremental improvements. Honda doesn't want to "offend" anyone with a drastic change. The navigation screen has real buttons, but the transmission shifter looks like something out of a video game. With Honda's mission to achieve the best performance with the highest fuel economy, the 5 and 6 speed automatic transmissions should be replaced with CVT or 9 speed automatics as soon as possible.

The exterior design of the cute dog @2:14 looks much better than the facelifted CR-V...

Someone I know has this one. Still doesn't strike me as a looker, though it's good w/ features. I prefer the Touareg to this one though.

Oft habe ich Probleme mit Kopfanstößen, wenn ein Panoramadach verbaut ist. Ohne eins, hat man oft viel mehr Kopffreiheit .wie ist es hier? Kommt man auch als großer Mensch damit klar?

What height is the presenter lol

Seems to be a massive colour-difference between the body and the bumpers..

completely agree with thomas about the fat bulbous rear. it looks so off putting

Which engine is better? Diesel or gasolin??

Can Not understand ,how this car can be a Best seller.

Wiederholt wurde sich im Vorfeld nicht mit dem Fahrzeug vollständig beschäftigt (Glasdach). Ansonsten, wie immer, sehr Umfangreiche Vorstellung.

Netter Herr wieso machen Sie keine Videos mit deutscher Sprache ??? Leider verstehe ich das meiste nicht, dabei würde ich mir sehr gerne Ihre Videos anschauen.

The gear meant to be like that, Not the German way you like. And it’s Not loose as you said. You were a bit Harsh when shitting the gear. Is A Japanese car mr Adolf😂

I have this car. Same colour but with beige coloured leather seats. I agree with what Thomas says but I suspect the challenge for manufacturers of SUV's is not to produce a vehicle that looks identical to others or looks like a box on wheels. Thomas mentioned the electric seats and that he would have to reset the position after moving the seat back. Not really accurate as he would have been supplied with two keys. Each key is linked to the electric seat settings. Basically set the seat to your preferred setting and depending on which key you have the seat will move to your preferred setting when you approach the vehicle. My complaint about the interior is that the buttons beside the infotainment system are too small and that some of the information is displayed on 3 different displays. I would have liked to have seen him take the vehicle off-road. Other than that I'm quite pleased with the car.

I drive a 2004 Honda Accord and it just won't break, no problems. And I still love the looks of it, doens't seem 13 years old (the model came out in 2003) in my opinion. When it starts to give us trouble, I would consider Honda again of course and since the Accord is not available anymore in Europe, the CR-V would be the obvious choice. But I too have to say it's quite ugly. Especially the exterior but also the interior. I'd love a Tucson outside and a CX5 inside with the dimension of the CR-V ;-) But, looks aren't everything, so maybe it would be the CR-V. But I hope that our Accord will do for 2 more years and that the new CR-V model will be prettier.

I bought 2016 cr-v ex-l 5 mounth ago . This car has vibration. When I turn on a/c waithing for stop sign. I thing it's a/c compu problems. so I went delar shop. and complain abouth that happened\\ but they said it's just normal....... should check youtube before buy cr-v

A lot of plastic on door covers from inside. The US version is much better built. If honda is going to dump plastic on european customers, it can as well shut down the whole biz over here.

Света привет прижал в Гостьте

honda infotainment system is the worst thing of this car !!!

I know that looks are subjective but I find this an ugly car. The exterior seems to be a collection of angles and surfaces with no cohesive style other than perhaps Dali-esque. Along with the Civic, Hondas current design direction is quite bizarre and I was reminded last night while watching a program featuring the S2000, how good they once were. The interior of this CR-V looks cheap on the film and the excessive amount of shut lines and joins (presumably to allow manufacture of the complex shapes) contributes to that impression. Mazda successfully implemented a program of weight reduction in their designs and also came out with some cool looking designs - Honda needs to have a 'surface reduction' program to clean up their designs and come out with something simpler, cooler and better made in my opinion.

I can only think that the Honda CRV is the most popular selling SUV world-wide because of the price. In terms of looks, it is suffering from some sort of allergic reaction, as it has come out in hives; ugly lumps and bumps all over the place and a mish-mash of badly designed lines. The coupé chrome look to the C-pillar area, combined with the roof and rear-end looks childishly clumsy. As though Homer Simpson designed it. The inside is no better. Cheap and tacky looking materials and the dashboard looks as though it was agreed upon by a committee of people with vastly differing concepts of what "style" really means (and all of them failing). A basic, new 2016, VW Tiguan runs rings around this wretched-looking vehicle. My hat is raised to you Thomas for managing to get through the review without laughing hysterically or just walking off in disgust. And, as always Thomas, very professionally done! (Thumbs up).

facelift? really? Ugly as ever from any angle, AWD just a joke
