00:06 Introducing the 2024 Honda CR-V.
00:10 Honda's bestseller returns for 2024 with small but impactful changes,
00:14 continuing to solidify its position toward the top of the ultra-competitive compact SUV segment.
00:20 For 2024, Honda introduces the CR-V Sport L trim,
00:25 offering a blend of luxury and efficiency,
00:27 with features like leather seats, a power tailgate,
00:30 wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus wireless phone charging.
00:34 The Sport L hybrid offers a more affordable leather-lined alternative
00:38 to the range-topping CR-V Sport Touring.
00:42 The CR-V continues to impress with its well-rounded performance and practicality.
00:46 Its modern interior design helps the CR-V stand out in its segment,
00:50 but some buyers will find the lack of innovation disappointing.
00:54 As usual, Honda is playing it safe.
00:57 Honda offers a base turbocharged four-cylinder or a hybrid powertrain
01:01 that's standard on higher trims.
01:03 The hybrid offering is both more efficient, achieving up to 40 mpg combined,
01:08 and more powerful, although both engine options feel lackluster
01:12 when you're trying to merge or make a pass.
01:14 The CR-V boasts more overall cargo volume than nearly all of its rivals,
01:19 offering plenty of space for all your gear and groceries.
01:23 Legroom is among the highest in the segment, too.
01:25 Even your rear seat passengers will have plenty of space.
01:28 While the CR-V offers a range of tech features,
01:32 including an available 9-inch infotainment display and wireless phone charging,
01:36 the tech experience is disappointing and dated compared to some other compact crossovers.
01:41 Also, buyers who want a simpler powertrain may be disappointed
01:45 that the best tech is only available with the hybrid engine.
01:48 Honda prioritizes safety with its Honda Sensing Driver Assist features
01:54 by including adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking,
01:58 blind spot monitoring, and lane keep assist on all trims.
02:01 With the CR-V's IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus rating, it offers peace of mind on the road.
02:07 This practical crossover may not be as exciting as it once was,
02:11 but it's still one of the best compact crossovers on the road.
