Hey all, hope ya all can help me. Does anyone here owns of have test driven the current 4th gen Harrier before? I just wanted to know how’s the NVH as compared to this 6th gen CRV RS.

I’m contemplating between these 2. CRV RS vs Recon Harrier Z Leather. Both about the same price. Tough choice. Hope ya all can help!

I’ve recently test driven both. But it was a short one and didnt manage to go on a highway to feel the NVH. ☹️

If NVH is your only point of comparison
I dont think CRV can beat Toyota Harrier in any road condition

Somemore Harrier is one class above

But I never seat in Harrier Z before ya,,

Harrier is definitely better but its new vs recon,

NVH for RS is fairly good, main source of noise comes from the tyres which I blame the Toyos. new car so no vibration, and no creaky plastic sound.
Driving this generation G6 RS always reminds me of previous BMW gen F series. The torque level is comparable to a 320.

Just curious. How much is the normal trade in value of your Toyo?

many moons ago, I was interested and test drove a G3 CRV. I couldn't believe how bad was the NVH and thought there is something wrong with the car.

Aiya back then the Japanese stick to their own style. Nowadays, Honda will want to mimic the BMW, or draw inspiration. If you see ever see the City with BMW bodykit, cant tell the difference.
They need to compete in US/Eu market.
But G3 even G2 is indestructible car, still see many on the road. I am hoping to keep the G6 for my retirement.
Relative still have the G2, fuel guzzler now.

some people says G6 has some European flavor, whatever that means.

Hi ...

Anyone already got their CRV RS version? I make my booking in January till today still no news from SA. According to SA there is a delay in RS production by HONDA.

From what I observe not many CRV RS on the road till today. Any issue with Honda production on RS spec?

Read few page back, got issues on some chips and production slow down for all, then on March all back to normal,,
I can see many G6 on the road now,, but agree that RS is very rare..

On highway I normally drive between 100 - 120 kph and at that speed, the turbo should be better than the RS.

In town, of course the RS is better.

Nope haven't got mine either. Booked early Feb, still no news.

hi guys, just wanted to ask a question in advance as it has been years since I bought a new car with warranty.

tyres are not part of the 5 year warranty so this means that we are free to change the tyre that came with the car right?

there is no procedure or stuff to do right and most tyre shop can change the tyre without any issues right. any advantage of changing from SA

same goes with the car battery right. apologies for newbie question

If you buy RS version better dont change anything on the tyre part. I heard RS has special noise resonator that improve the NVH.

Back to your question yes usually tyre has no warranty, but sport rim do have. So if you change tyre and use same sport rim should be fine. I am not sure on RS version tho since the tyre and sport rim is quite special than other variant.

thanks very much for your prompt advise below

much appreciated and keep it in mind when I intend to change my tyres

just curious, how many people actually change their tyres at Honda. are the prices much more expensive

for consumable better change outside, you can check the price with service advisor,, the price is higher at SC
and, they only brings few brand, I dont think changing tires will void warranty, but for RS you better check tho

If you worried about warranty since Honda nowadays can just reject any claim with minor modification, just change to same exact tyre size and dimension but with better brands and model. Only will run the risk of voiding certain warranty mostly if change rims and sizes. While many still do alignment at SC for convenience sake, I doubt anyone actually change their tyres in SC (water fish maybe...haha).

However with new resonance device on the rims, as suggested by others better check with SC. This is new stuff here (at least in Malaysia).

I think Honda's Toyo similar price to Michelin. So I will try Michelin next time.

Go for Primacy SUV +
survey few shop, some price can differ almost up to RM50/piece

what's this 'new resonance device on the rims'?
