New Honda CR-V review: Better than VW & Skoda?

Video Description

This is the new Honda CR-V! The CR-V has been around for some time now, but here in the UK it doesn’t seem to get the same plaudits as some of its key competitors, such as the Skoda Karoq or VW Tiguan. So the question is, does the new CR-V offer enough to compete with these class leaders? Well let’s take a closer look, starting with the exterior design. The CR-V certainly looks the part, with sleek headlights and taillights designs, and the usual SUV profile along the side. You’ll also find soft creases across the bodywork, roof bars along the top, and a large grille at the front. If you have a top of the range model like we do here, you’ll also find a sporty front bumper. The interior is well laid out, and we’re glad to find a couple of physical buttons and dials for the climate controls. However, reach a bit lower down and you’ll find scratchy plastics along the central console and on the door bins. There’s also a large infotainment screen on top of the dash, and while the system isn’t the best, it’s certainly much better than the old Honda infotainment system! There are two engines to choose from. Both are 2-litre 4 cylinder petrol engines, and both are hybrids. The plug-in hybrid comes with the a single electric motor to drive the front wheels, like the self-charging hybrid has two motors and offers four wheel drive. Despite this, both cars have the same 148hp power output. So does the new CR-V have what it takes to compete with the best? And is it worth the £46,000 starting price? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!
