This is the new Honda CR-V Vs the old Honda CR-V comparison for 2024. We are a little late for this comparison because we haven’t had a chance to checkout the new CR-V until recently. SO how does it compare to the old CR-V? Is the new CR-V worth it over the old one?
Honda CR-V Vs the old Honda CR-V exterior comparison: The new 2025 CR-V is bland looking SUV that could have been made by any brand at the moment. We think it looks like a VW SUV in the same as the prior generation Tiguan, It gets worst in that even top range models look like entry level grades. The old CRV had a upmarket design that wasn’t exactly outrageous in design but at least it looked classier than the competition and looked a little different.
Honda CR-V Vs the old Honda CR-V interior comparison: The new 2025 Honda CRV interior is a nice place to be in. It is spacious and a identifiable Honda design language with all other current generation cars and SUVs. The materials are arguably a little better than the prior model. The old CRV interior was a nice place to be in too although cost cutting can be seen through out. It is a little smaller but it was still plenty of space for it’s size.
Honda CR-V Vs the old Honda CR-V engine and technology comparison: The engines of both models are shared although the new one has a Hybrid option. All other tech including safety systems are class average and dependent on model grade. Neither have any interesting features worth highlighting.
The conclusion and winner of the Honda CR-V Vs the old Honda CR-V comparison is a draw. The new CRV is an evolution of the old CRV in a bigger size in a more conservative looking shape. While the new model is a nice upgrade we are not sure why Honda bothered, unless the market truly wanted another generic looking SUV?
