Honda CR-V hybrid 2025 review: Long-term test of new e:HEV RS shows Toyota RAV4 should be worried!

The 2025 Honda CR-V e:HEV RS is making eco-conscious family car buyers think twice about putting down their hard-earned for the ever-popular Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. Why? Well, the former is more or less a generation ahead of the latter, which is due to be superseded next year. The RAV4 is still a great low-emissions mid-size SUV, but the CR-V is now arguably a class ahead – for now.

How do we know this? CarsGuide New Editor Dom Tripolone and his family of three have been living with the new CR-V e:HEV RS for the past three months to see how well it stacks up in everyday life, from the weekday grind to weekend pursuits and everything in between. Point being, he now knows this Honda inside and out.

So, in this expert review, he deep-dives the good, the bad and the ugly (there's not much of the latter) of the CR-V e:HEV RS and explains why it offers a lot of value on paper – and in reality. Watch on to find out more.
