Honda CR-V SUV (2018 - 2023) SR i-MMD Hybrid AWD eCVT auto 5d Owner Review

Spacious and looks smart, if underrated. Lacks interior quality of cheaper VAG products. Build quality only ok, too.
In perfect conditions, I.e without headwinds or need for heating/cooling/rapid getaways and on a warm engine, the economy is ok. Commute home, 50% uphill motorway and remainder urban routes, struggles to get 40 mpg. That's with coasting where possible to charge battery and avoiding harsh acceleration. At a 59 mph motorway cruise. 70 mph cruising drags that down to 35 ish.
Servicing cheap. Warranty nothing special. Nice enough to drive and good visibility. Just expensive for what it is.
Doesn't have hill descent control, unlike earlier and later model, so 4wd fairly pointless.
Really light on tyres and brakes, due to regular use of paddles to slow down. Said tyres have a decent profile and ride is ok, but lots of road and wind noise. Engine does kick up a stink when overtaking, but I've driven worse.
Boot has no useful spaces for anything, but has decent depth, width and height.
Car has no exceptional features, is a decent midfielder that earns respect but isn't too memorable. If you get one, make sure that it has a full history and extended warranty in case the traction system fails.
Did look at a new one, but price is optimistic. Especially as it has the same flaws as my model, with slightly worse economy due to higher kerbweight and limited colour options.
