Honda CR-V VTi X7 2024 review: snapshot

EXPERT RATING
8.1
The new-gen CR-V might still be technically a mid-size SUV, but it has grown substantially over the previous model.

The new-gen CR-V might still be technically a mid-size SUV, but it has grown substantially over the previous model.

There are seven grades available with a mix of front- and all-wheel drive, petrol and hybrid and five and seven-seat model grades. 

The VTi X7 is a front-wheel drive (FWD), seven-seat grade, and is the most affordable seven-seat CR-V. The two three-row CR-Vs are FWD only.

All CR-Vs except the flagship e:HEV RS hybrid are powered by Honda’s 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine, delivering 140kW/240Nm and paired with a CVT.

The VTi X7 largely mimics the standard spec of the five-seat VTi X, but with some upgrades. It comes with a 9.0-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto, power-adjustable driver's seat, drive-mode selector, wireless smartphone charger, a hands-free power tailgate with a walkaway close function, eight-way power adjustable driver’s seat, and a 7.0-inch driver display, 17-inch alloys, and black cloth trim.

All CR-V grades come with a healthy standard safety features list, with the 'Honda Sensing' active safety suite including auto emergency braking, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, road departure mitigation, and active cruise control with low-speed follow, while traffic jam assist and traffic sign recognition are new to the suite.

The VTi X7 gains the rear cross-traffic alert and blind spot monitor not offered in the VTi X, and it has curtain airbags covering all three seating rows.
