2025 CRV Hybrid

[grizzly72]

Hello all,

Just a quick question, My wife wants to buy a new 2025 crv hybrid, i know nothing really about these hybrids.. I said i think i would just get a straight gas crv. I,m afraid of it being worth nothing when we go to sell it in 5 years?? What do you all think?

Bottom line- it will be fine.

lol thanks, just kinda thinking no one will want it 5-6 years old with 60-100k on it thinking they would have to replace the batteries soon. I guess because that what i would think..

Supposedly injectors and head gaskets are a real problem on the newer Accord and CRV Hybrids.

I'd get one. Hybrid saves a bunch of money over the gas engine option, and has more power also.

The battery has an 8 year - 100,000 warranty. There have been some injector issues with the 23, and 24, but not big numbers.
I have the 24, and I know 3 others that own the same generation. All have been great cars to date.

I love Hondas. I would take a hard look at the RAV4 hybrid. Toyota has been in the hybrid game a long time.
I service a friends'; what a great vehicle! Drives better then the squishy Toyotas of before.

thanks everyone..

thanks everyone..

I had one , no issues , great mileage , got rear ended so I traded it in on a Accord hybrid. From what I understand the Honda system is more refined than Toyota's. I never know feel any transition from EV to gas .

The break even is pretty long to save enough money on gas to offset the initial higher cost of the hybrid. If OP is only planning to keep it 5 years, he's not going to recoup those costs. The CRV Hybrid's real life MPG is apparently nowhere close to EPA numbers.

With that said, there are other valid reasons for buying a hybrid, such as more refined drive train.

As far as resale value, I don't think it's worth sweating over.

I averaged over sticker mpg .

I have a 5 year old 2020 Honda CRV Hybrid Touring. No issues with the hybrid battery. I did have to change the 12V battery at some point. I'm at 110k miles and still on the original brakes and 2nd set of tires.

Prices for CRV have a pretty big range. Hybrid is higher trim. It's hard to do an apples to apples comparison between models.

What I know, is that my 1.5T Civic gets about 25mpg in brisk city driving, and the CRV with the same engine is heavier.

Hybrids shine in city mpg. I suspect a significant savings will occur with people that drive in town a lot. And then where you live affects gas prices also. In California, where I live, gas is something like $1.75 more per gallon than the national average, so a Hybrid gets my attention.

The MPG difference between summer, and winter is wide. But I'd rather pay that MPG loss for heat, and cold weather being a non-factor. No worries about the things an EV driver has to deal with in the extreme cold.
It's very seamless to drive, but you can get a little involved if you choose to use the paddles for deceleration, to up the MPG a little.

I use the paddles for regenerative braking, still on the original pads at 110k miles.

I always get a kick out of the cars that accelerate to a red light
Have to wonder if they complain about how quickly their crappy car goes through brakes.
And if the goal is to quickly be able to get to something of major importance, on their phone.

I posted about my 2019 Accord Hybrid in another thread. Currently at 261k miles, getting about 41mpg indicated (42-43 actual?) in mixed driving.

The current Honda hybrid system doesn't have a lot of problems. The old IMA system did.

Honda was before Toyota
