I own 2010 CR-V and the only reason considering upgrade is because of driver assistance and active safety tech. But I doubt it worth it (on CR-V and in general), so I carefully look into performance of ACC, LKAS and CMBS during test drives.
Yesterday, I took Accord Sport 1.5L and 18’ CR-V EX for a spin. First of all there is a drastic difference in how much more advanced Accord’s instrumentation and controls are, tiny CR-V toy-like buttons inherited from Civic are so much harder to use and less convenient. Not mentioning instrumentation cluster!, base Accord displays speed limit signs (base Sport model that I tested is same as CR-V EX) and has very nice modern gauges and graphics while CR-V looks as an attempt to make attractive cluster but doe to cost cutting the only get so far only one year out it looks so dated!
But this is not a main problem, the main problem is that ACC simply does not work on CR-V as it is a complete hit and miss compared to Accord. Not a single time CR-V was able to “attach” to a car in front and follow it, it simply did not see car in front and decelerated, I found it also had a tendency to apply brakes with no apparent reason and LKAS was constantly steering left and right. Horrible, horrible performance on CR-V. Question to the forum, does your CR-V’s ACC, CMBS, LKAS perform as expected?
At the same time, I found these systems in new Accord performing very-very well, all is smooth and predictable so much so that I found Accord could practically drive itself in all conditions! Dealer claims that 2018 CR-V and Accord have same technology but seems so that Accord’s is a generation ahead!
