2023 HONDA CR-V HYBRID SPORT TOURING – DM REVIEW | TEST DRIVE

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport Touring is presented as a competent daily driver, excelling in its refined driving dynamics and quiet cabin, which the reviewer prefers over the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. Key strengths include a comfortable ride, intuitive climate controls, a spacious interior, and a low, flat load floor. However, the vehicle is criticized for its near $40,000 price tag, especially considering the absence of desirable features like a panoramic sunroof, cooled seats, and a 360-degree camera. Practical drawbacks include a cumbersome manual seat-folding mechanism in the rear and a lack of underfloor storage due to the hybrid battery. Despite these shortcomings, the reviewer concludes that the CR-V Hybrid's pleasant driving experience and overall refinement make it a compelling, albeit expensive, choice for everyday use.
