That's interesting, I too own the hybrid RS and average between 5.2 to 5.5 urban. For context, also own a current rav4 hybrid and average 4.9 to 5.1. I am generally light with my throttle use & run both vehicles on 95 pulp.
Me and my family of 4 are about to get the X7 version. $46,800 drive away is nice and affordable. To all the people rocking with 2x 0-4 forward facing car seats and want to know how it is. We went and tested the car and with isofix you can still have amazing access to 3rd row. My 5ft wife cannot fit inbetween unless she sits slightly in front but the entire 2nd row can be shifted forward to allow my 5ft7 self in the 3rd comfy enough for a 3hr or more journey. It was a big deal to get access to 3rd row without removing car seat for when grandparents visit and there aren't any other options in this price range.
Well done, very well thought out and put together review touching on those finer details others either don’t know or neglect to mention. Detail is important when dropping $50k plus on a car in my opinion.
It's nice to see the nationwide pricing finally delivering value to consumers. Pity the dealer network was royally screwed in the whole 'agency' model transition. Meaning quite a drive for servicing in some areas.
Test drove the hybrid and loved it. However found the upturns on the edges of the driver’s seat uncomfortable as the pressed into my body. Any comments or suggestions to remedy? Cheers
How would this 1.5T 185 BHP engine pull a loaded car with 7 passengers of all sizes? Seems very under-powered to me. For a small family or a couple it can be 'okay'.
Only two,problems , firstly CVT transmission and secondly the price . Other than that , I like it too . Would I buy one? A VTI LX AWD for $57 K ? I don’t think so, not at that price .
Shifter does not determine the type of gearbox used. It's just the style choice chosen by Honda in different world regions. A traditional CVT fitted to all petrol crv models. eCVT fitted to hybrid only.
@@nipunrocksterjust because the interior doesn't look premium, it is definitely better built than the Nissans. Also the Honda's minimilist design will age much better than the Nissan's. Have a look at Nissan interiors of the 2000's and Honda's of the same age. Lol.
