Those who have driven the 2WD and AWD. Feel any difference in normal driving? I read with the AWD, need more care in changing tires

Yes, turbo have separate service. Service A and Service B. You’ll be heading to Honda service centre a bit frequent than non turbo. Probably your 6 months interval, in the middle of it you require to replace oil. Because Honda uses 0W-20 which is thin, require earlier oil change. Maybe Honda worries about infamous L15B7 “oil dilution” but normally happens in cold climate.

Oil change every 3 months for the turbo? That is too problematic.

It all boils down to how’s your driving pattern. The system will notify you when it’s the time to replace engine oil as there is sensor for it. If you’re frequent stop n go then the oil replacement is sooner. While if you’re on long distance trip, the oil replacement indicator predicts longer travel distance before oil change.

Can you give a general idea how soon need replacing for town usage?

Thanks. That would probably means less than every 6 months? That would be too short. European cars tend to have much longer oil change interval

Less stop and go and short distance meaning if your travel is mostly long journey rather than stop mostly at traffic can last longer. Anyway the reason Honda have this feature telling the engine oil life before changing oil is to protect its engine and turbo. Since is just a 1.5L engine with small turbo boost but it’s a powerful engine for its displacement.
*
I have a old turbo diesel (every 5000km) and a Proton turbo petrol engine (every 6 months). 80% town driving. Nothing bad has happened yet.

Anyone test driven the 2WD and 4WD. Can share your experience pls? For normal tar road, not driving like a daredevil, feel any difference in stability etc? If no, then I might as well go for 2WD for better acceleration and fuel economy

The 1.5T got sufficient power?

I was looking for the CRV too but surprisingly it didnt meet my expectation. I have no idea if the test car I had driven was a problematic one as i could feel the ABS was not like an ABS, kind of hard braking even when you pressed the pedal very very slowly. When i asked the SA, she was like 'not sure'. I drive a Jazz and honestly speaking the Jazz is far better than the CRV.  The CRV won in terms of space, power, features, infotainment and NVH. I was expecting the CRV could handle bumpy road very well, buttttt it might be my expectation was too high or the test drive car was problematic??
*
ABS. I thought it only get activated during emergency very hard braking?

Regarding NVH. I find Honda generally very poor at NVH, compared to Toyota. This CRV good now?

Thailand base model CRV starts from RM186K.
Usually our price is higher?

I would go for CX8 with that price  doh.gif

But the CX is over 10 yrs old design with updates.

Top spec is 2.0 hybrid

Just test drive 2020 1.5t awd demo car with less than 20k km

They stop taking order or Gen 5 since last month
*
I think hybrid is at least RM30K+ more. At that price, may as well get the 1.5T

Anyone opted for Honda's own dashcam? How's the picture quality and features?

And has anyone opted to have outside 3rd party dashcam installed? Does that void the warranty?

Very much like to hear your views

Almost buy XV or Cross, already taken out the downpayment from fd then daughter say going to stay near her uni until graduation mid next year.

So no rush in buying anymore, keeping all option open.....again. As long as money still with me, can always opt for cheaper car, expensive car or no car..hahaha

I'm truly tempted by this release, the pricing are beyond my expectation. Thought the cheapest is going be a min. of 180K and above. Turned out cost cutting in Malaysia CKD managed to bring it down to "affordable" pricing for a CRV.

The spec of E variant generally fulfilled all my base expectation, want legroom got legroom, want comfort, got comfort, want boot space, got boot space, can truly sit 3 pax at back with comfort. All the necessary specs are there in E variant with only the the lacked 360 camera, a sore point along with BSM. No cool ambient cosmetic light ok coz need 12k to get that in. AWD has both its advantage (stable, better hilly ride) and disadvantage (more fc and maintenance cost) but with 12k increase at my base limit, can forgo.

Honda comes out with their logic of needing lanewatch....can see motorbike, more useful for Asean countries. But BSM can detect cars, both left and right side. which one more important, detect cars or motobike. Is lanewatch cheaper?

Still thinking whether to spend over 210k-220k for a car (including interest) worth it or not. Now got half a year again to see see again. Even if buy, will not buy first batch.
In the end, likely buy City ...hahaha..That one really no pressure in buying....save petrol some more.
*
Was looking at the Cross but my other half says it is too spartan. CX5 looks the same for a decade already. CX8 look like a loaf of bread. That only left with CRV.

I find the older AWD being slow off the traffic light. And read the all new CRVs are even slower. The new CRV 2WD 0 - 100 kph is 9.7 and 9.8 sec. The 4WD is 10.4 sec. So will look at the 2WD

Tire change for AWD is another issue I look at. If one tire got damaged and need changing, you probably have to change all 4 in one go.

That one DEFINITELY above budget....170K also I heart bleed liao, don't know want to get or not. Initially target 140K cross or XV...

Last time almost get the outgoing CRV at 155K but decided too late, no more stock, only red left, wife pantang.

I find the outgoing CRV's suspension too soft for my taste. Read the new CRV is firmer. Unfortunately there are no test car available.

Me too was looking to get cross but i saw an ads that honda dealer was selling the facelift test unit awd.
Same price with cross hybrid, with all the accessories.
Test drive cross hybrid but Toyota dealer cant guarantee the rebate for end of year promotion.
The waiting list is 4 month.
I choose CRV - bigger space, but test unit, left 2 years warranty.
Then straight away change the tyre to continental premium contact C, much quieter.
Then we had a road trip from miri to Kuching via the pan Borneo highway.
10 hours drive as we made 2 stops.
Done 980km for the whole road trip plus urban driving in kch, FC 13km/l.
*
Moving off from standstill or traffic light, do you find it slow?

How much is the Continental Premium Contact C tires?

How's the town driving FC?

For fifth gen 1.5turbo, the acceleration from standstill is slow , unless you rev to above 2.5k rpm, it will move very fast after 1-2 seconds of turbo lag.

My FC is abt 10-10.5km/litre when drive on Jalan cheras -KL during peak hour with bumper to bumper jam, some time will go below 10 even accelerate with light foot.

If drive on highway smoothly, can get 13-14km/L with 110kmh and smooth acceleration with light foot.

To me this car is for smooth driving with spacious car boot and rear seats, body roll also quite noticeable, not for handling.

But not sure how is the new gen CRV
*
Thanks for the clarification. Is yours the FWD or AWS version?

I presume, untill the turbo kicks in around 2000 rpm, the CRV behave like an seriously under-powered NA 1.5 engine with heavy body. I hardly saw car reviewers mentioning this and I guess none wanted to offend Honda.
