wonderful car

I am especially impressed with the gas mileage (32 mpg so far). The ride is wonderful. I had read that the sound system was inferior, but it seems great for me. I got traded in a 2010 CRV and that sound system did not come close the the 2020 CRV hybrid

If you need one for family trip. This one should.

Honda CR-V hybrid is still new hybrid this year trying to compete with other products. It depends on your preference what do you want out of it. From hybrid powertrain efficiency you may loke other brand, but one of the most important reason for me to consider was leg room in rear sests is spaceous interior and goix safety featurs. My family picked this because its more spaceous on rear end, you may compromise little in cargo. Exterior looks also depends on buyer's preference, i like cr-v reach interior look and exterior. Specually those trimmed LEDs. One more benefit you can achieve this hybrid can be little cheaper compared to other and you can easily accomodate moonroof , heated powerseats and remote start in budget.also able to have 40 mpg in city is benefit on saving gas too.

About time we got a Hybrid CRV!

The car has the same features that it’s only gas sibling. This is my third CRV my very first 2003 was a robust vehicle that even after reaching 275,000 miles was still running when I passed it to a relative. Machinery lasts what it feels like a lifetime as long as you take good care of them. This Hybrid is such a smooth ride. And I look forward to having it for many years to come!

Just purchased so still evaluating

I like the luxurious feel of this smaller SUV. Much better than my previous one of a different make. The sound system is a little unusual but will report that to the dealer.

to Spoil myself!

I feel so empowered driving this car. Tons of extras I’m still finding out about. Honda has videos and classes to help. I am looking forward to my first road trip in it!

Engine disappointment

The CRV Hybrid was a good purchase value but a huge disappointment in driving. When your driving at say 30 or 40 MPH and you step on the gas the engine over revs as the tachometer goes up but the car only picks up speed slowly. I call it acceleration lag which can be dangerous when trying to accelerate on the highway. I took it to the Honda dealer who said there was nothing they could do, it was designed that way. The MPG was great on the Hybrid but I was constantly frustrated by the acceleration lag . Otherwise the Hybrid was a very good value although it doesn’t have a spare tire as that’s where the battery is placed. Unfortunately I couldn’t live the acceleration lag so I traded the Hybrid in on a CRV gas engine which works fine, hopefully Honda will figure how to make the Hybrid engine drive like a gas engine as it’s a good vehicle.

3rd Honda owned, 2nd CRV

I Test drove almost every small SUV out there and the Honda CRV was by far the most comfortable and fun to drive. Ample leg room in front and back seats. Well designed interior. No eating knees in this car. Plenty of power and the Hrbrid is getting great gas mileage. Did a lot of research on the hybrid engine. It’s tried and true, but new to the CRV this year.
