Though lacking in material flair, the CR-V quietly charms as the rare family-SUV that emphasises the driver's experience as much as that of its occupants.
What We Like
Still one of the leaders for driving enjoyment in its segment
Suspension well-judged between comfort and sportiness
Punchy powertrain
Great all-round visibility
Usable third row of seats, coupled with easier-than-average entry
Review Saw this new CRV sometime in April 2024 but that time only have showroom car.
Recently have the test drive one, so went by to try it. Comes in 5 and 7 seaters, in which 7 seaters have panaromic sunroof, 18 inches wheels, paddle shifters, auto rain sensors, additional smart keycard and some other minor ones too.
First looks, it does certainly look better than its predecessor with a more calm and less garang.
Interior is a new finishing with a comforting settings. Both variant comes with auto headlights while only 7 seaters come with auto rain sensors which I do not understand the rational to this. Have both front electric seats and electric tailgate too.
Drive off is easy where you engage and go. At normal mode was already responsive to throttle and feeling the gear change is not sluggish too.
Honda sensing is there in full suite to aid your driving safety too, nice one.
At SPORTs mode, the engagement was not really there when you want to overtake or enjoy the drive further as its a little sluggish.
Parking was easy but could not recall if there is a auto tilt mirror feature.
Overall, for its new looks, its a reasonable SUV to get (by not looking at its exponential price now due to COE), but if you can accept the uplifted boot in the 7 seaters, its more worthwhile to get for a minor top up.
What I like Panaromic roof (7 seaters only)
Auto rain sensor (7 seaters only)
Full Honds Sensing features
Ambient lightings
Electric seats for both in front
Electric tailgate
Auto headlights with turning fog lights too
What I do not like Boot not totally flat when 3rd row folded down (7 seaters)
Sports mode draggy when revved
No auto fold mirror when locked
Price (dated Aug 2024)
Only 7 seaters comes with auto rain sensors (not sure why)
No 360 camera
No full body sensors
Honda CR-V
