Positive Review
If only the new CR-V had the venerable and super reliable 2.4 liter engine! The 1.5 Turbo engine WILL require longer cool down and warm up times, more frequent oil changes, spark plug changes, etc. Major and very expensive components of this turbo engine HAVE failed at between 40,000 and 70,000 miles. So... you may be able to make it to the end of the warranty period. After that, I wish y'all the best. I've been a Honda fan for almost 40 years now. Trust me, I am sad to see Honda use a small displacement turbo engine in a roughly 3,525 lb. vehicle. I know a few other automakers are doing the same thing. But Honda used to be BETTER than the rest. In some ways, they still are. And I remain a Fan of Honda, still. ALL buyers, do your homework and decide for yourself. I wish y'all the best in whatever you decide to do. Y'all take care.

Critical Review
Car is plain on outside, no style just a box, at 5ft 9 inches 170 wt this car is tuff to feel like your in comfortable it has a power seat too. Just does not sit correctly. It feels bulky and its so noisy with tire and wind noise even at low speeds terrible and no excuse. Cheap with no outside cosmetics. Car seats sits hard not comfy. Tuff to see outside lots of blockage. Shifts smooth. Color red looks good. Cheap painted wheels not chrome. The car lacks chrome most areas. Not worth the money priced to high. Car has room. Materials cheap. Engine is fine but again to much noise when driving off from a standstill. Not impressed at all. Would not recommend. The car is scalped, cheap. This is 2024 come on get with it, get a nice shape and design stop with being so poorly looks and cutting costs, after so many price increases the last 2 plus years.

Gas milage, reliable, comfortable, and adequate acceleration, and comfortable breaking.
None
This is the second CR-V EX-L I've owned. It is superior in quality and performance over any brand I've owned over the years. No major issues, great gas milage, great safety features, and well appointed. It's a solid car, and I will soon purchase another as a second car. I would highly recommend Honda CR-V AWD EX-L.
Looks, comfort, set up of the controls, very little road noise
Speakers could be a little better for the EX trim
I am hoping Honda has fixed the design flaws of the 1.5L but only time will tell. I had a 2025 Civic Sport which caused back and hip pain. I give many thanks to the dealership I have dealt with for helping me out tremendously. Although some things could be a little better I am very happy with the change.
Great looks, high cabin, good power, comfortable
Glitchy radio, plagued 1.5L engine
I traded a 2025 Civic Sport for a 2026 CR-V EX because of comfort and other issues. I just bought it so it is still brand new. I will update my review after a few months. I have noticed the infotainment is glitching mostly with the wireless android auto but sometimes happens with wired as well. I hope the issues of the 1.5L turbo nightmares were somehow fixed or bettered as I've had that nightmare before.
Decently sized trunk space.
Stress crack in windshield on brand new car. Not cover under warranty but clearly a defect. Already had class action suit against them for same thing on older models.
Very noisy on rough pavement at highway speeds. The noise takes away the experience. otherwise, it will be an excellent car.
I love the color (urban grey pearl), it’s stylish and comfortable
Terrible infotainment system and Honda unable to help me. Poor poor service from Honda.
My 2026 CRV has a problems reading text messages. I can send a message, make a call, but when I get a text I cannot read it. It won’t read it and even if I ask Siri to read it it won’t. It forces me to look at my phone if I want to see the text. I know I don’t have to read it, but most people want to know what it says. This is a safety hazard. I felt Honda knew about this problem but never disclosed it - it was not truthful. My dealer has no idea what to do or if Honda is working on the problem. I can’t get any information. Plus the infotainment center is very slow to respond to demands. My car has only 6,000 miles on it. I am so disappointed with the car and with Honda. Poor poor customer service. Unless Honda fixes this issue in a timely manner this will be my last Honda.
Great gas mileage
Wife wants
