Honda CR-V Hybrid

Any owners of current models of this car out there?  Considering pulling the trigger on a small hybrid SUV or a large sedan like a used Lexux ES.  Thanks,

I have a 2024 CR-V Hybrid. Love the car, plenty of room for passengers and cargo alike… but it now has 2 recalls on it from Honda in the past 3 months, wondering what else is coming down the pike…

I also have a 2024 CR-V Hybrid with no problems so far but is subject to the 2 recalls mentioned above. I mostly like it but feel the rear and side visibility is lacking compared to my Accord, sometimes worry about not having a spare tire, and rather detest the pedestrian warning noise that sounds like aliens wailing.

Saw a Lexus NX hybrid on the show lot the other day ($46k).  Looks nice, could be my next vehicle if my wife gets rid of her rabbit hobby.  I currently have a Lexus 300H and an older Toyota RAV4 that she hauls the rabbits in.

We have a 2007 CR-V 2wd with 250k and it runs like a top. We will probably buy a new one soon. I wouldn't have considered the Hybrid, but in reading a little about it before replying to this thread I was impressed by the technology, and the praise of the owners.  I recently rented Civic with CVT and was surprised how well that drove, which dispelled my CVT concerns.

I assumed the CR-V Hybrid also had the CVT, but instead it uses electric direct drive up to 50mph, with 2 speed gear tranny above 50mph. People say it rides extremely smooth and they love the car.
