I love the taillights, especially the way they stick out on the sides. It gives them a more interesting appearance than the previous ones.

 

I like them much better than any previous gen

 

For me, the lights are okay. The overall aft-end style might look a bit too minivan-ish.

 

the wrap around helps improve visabilty and people around you are able t o see you better. Now for the design it does not stick out like we thin, but it does a lil, I agree it could have been flush to the car, then bubbled out to create less drag. Here is a photo of the tail light

 

I would have preferred them more flush, but was not a deal breaker.
However I do find myself looking at them thru the rear view mirror and fixating on
them a bit.

 

I think they look fine, nice to have a change. I also think if you look into the reasoning you will also see that it is needed for the cross traffic alert and also for the lane changing guidance. The camera in the windshield doesn't see behind the vehicle.

 

I like the Bugged out tail lights better then the Bugged out head lights that are on a lot of car now a days.
It's my least favorite part of the car, with that said, its still an AWESOME vehicle!

 

I think the overall look of the back could be improved, especially when compared to the rest of the car's styling. I don't really like the horizontal portion of the tail light on the hatch back and the oddly shaped adjacent chrome. I would then change the hatch sheet metal creases and the license plate placement.

The large expanse of red tail lights looks good on a red car (notice how Honda often advertises a red car) but the lights looks awkward with most other colors. They could easily improve it with the "clear/silver" tail lights with red leds (often used on Toyota/Lexus) and reduction of chrome to a simple Honda logo. I think we may get an improvement on the back during the 2019 CRV refresh and then everyone can decide.

 

They are the only reason I bought this vehicle.

 

Hadn't really noticed...always been more of a headlight guy. ;-)

 

less going on

 

less going on

For once I agree

 

new tailights are a solid evolution from the previous vertical only design, incorporating some horizontal elements. Even tho the car is common, the new rear end really makes it stand out especially to the previous bean shaped car. LED/light piping is awesome too.

 

This is the first vehicle I've owned where i like all the angles, specially the rear quarter/tail light angle.

 

I love the new taillights. It adds to the upscale look of the CRV.

 

One of the reasons I didn't buy a Gen 4 CR-V was that I just did not like the back end but I couldn't describe why. As soon as I saw the 2017 I realized is was the Gen 4 rear looked too soft. I almost bought a RAV4 instead but now I'm glad I waited.

 

No. I prefer flush lighting.

 

I like them, it makes the car looks better

 

I don't really like the back, but it wouldn't be a deal breaker upgrading from our 2016.....the deal breaker is the no lanewatch camera, wife won't give it up, if it had it, I would be upgrading to get some of the other features
