2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid Consumer Reviews

test drove 2025 2.0 engine hybrid crv sport l ,lacks power needs turbo engine, Honda sensing does not work that well bounces from left to right in the lane keeping and disengages often

The mileage is abysmal, the motor is noisy and quirky to an annoying degree, and the transitions and transmission are jumpy. It is awful to drive around town, and I am light-footed with the motor kicking in and out. There is no incremental benefit for the extra cost of a hybrid. The vehicle is excellent, comfortable, and the instrumentation is better, but the hybrid power plant is a deal-killer.

A brand new 2026 Honda CRV hybrid and the radio has super poor reception of SiriusXM. The streaming quality of SiriusXM is highly variable- plainly just doesn’t work. I contacted my salesperson 3x and eventually the person said - no fix. Perhaps, fix will be coming. This performance is really annoying since I like to listen to SiriusXM when driving. Honda really blew it on introducing this feature.

So I traded in my Rav4 for this, not sure i did the right thing. I purchased it new (2025 crv hybrid sport), from the first drive home it had steering that was off, I put that in Hondas survey they sent, along with the sunroof leaking when I went thru the car wash, but no answer or anyone to reach out to me. I was supposed to have 2 free oil changes in the first year, but definitely did not. Said they're only free if your oil is at 60% or less. The android auto doesn't work, never has. The dealership couldn't figure it out before we left so I said I'll figure it out later. Still haven't. The EV noise in it is so loud it's almost embarrassing. Heads turn when I pull in a parking lot. The backup camera isn't the greatest. The wipers are horrible, it sprays the fluid out of the wipers instead of the bottom of the windshield, so the fluid only goes to one side of the windshield- the drivers side. My rav4 was 4 years older than this new car but the rav definitely had way more mods and options on it. Only good thing about this crv is the fact it has snow mode and it really does go good in the snow. My moms driveway is a steep icy hill when it shows, it goes great up her driveway and thats saying something. Other than that, im wishing id kept the rav-if it'd been AWD i would have... overall I'd say this car is way overpriced for what it is. They got me...

My brand new CRV sport has a high pitched ringing sound when you drive at a certain speed. Have had the car for just over a month, been to dealer 3 times who finally threw their hands up in the air because they don't know what it is and try to tell me I just have to live with it that this car makes that sound and they don't know why. DO NOT BUY unless you want to feel like you are taking a hearing test every time you drive your CRV hybrid around town with high frequency faint beeping noise, enough to drive anyone crazy. If this is normal Honda should expect a class action lawsuit soon. Hondas are made so cheap now and way overpriced.

Drives perfectly smooth. Zero issues. I’ve been wanting a CRV for a while and for the price it’s the best car that I could find!

This thing has been horrible ever since I drove it off the lot. It has spent nearly two months in the shop for all kinds of issues, mostly electronic and safety, and repairs don't seem to be making a difference. It runs poorly, stalls, and gas mileage is terrible especially for a Hybrid. I used to love Honda cars, but I'll never buy one again.

I got this car at the end of April and have been so happy with it. It's the Sport Touring trim level, and the upgrades to the screen, sound system, and tires were definitely worth it. It had one owner previously, then was owned by the dealership as a loaner. It's the perfect combination of comfort and efficiency with a touch of rugged. I do mostly city/suburban driving, and it gets better mileage than my 2012 Civic. The boxier redesign means more headroom without sacrificing the compact size. I do wish Honda would spring for some of the little luxuries that Acura does, like rear heated seats, front cooled seats, panoramic sunroof, and panoramic backup cam. But I also understand sacrificing some of these luxuries will likely make the car more reliable and affordable. Anyway - very happy so far. The ride is so smooth and quiet. It's my first hybrid and I have zero complaints.
