The fuel economy you report in your test is, of course, nonsense. This is a plug-in, and so you're being fooled. Of course a CR‑V isn't more economical than an HR‑V. Think!

My 2026 CR‑V hybrid has had no problems. It’s quieter than my previous 2019 RAV4 hybrid. The exterior finish feels more solid across the whole vehicle. It’s less affected by crosswinds. I prefer the CR‑V’s driving. Its only drawback is that it uses just a little more fuel than the RAV4.

Good car, very comfortable. It still drinks petrol — I do a lot of driving, so the hybrid system only makes itself felt in traffic jams....

Definitely the Hyundai Bayon — the most important thing is the simply designed 1.2 MPI four-cylinder engine, 84 hp, adapted for LPG and cheap to repair, beautiful looks, a five-year warranty, cheaper to buy, and performance completely sufficient for a senior. A four-cylinder engine runs smoother and is better refined. I will buy this car in December 2026 at the Hyundai dealership in Toruń.

I bought the HUNDAY BAYON one month ago.
600 km later, first small problem — the gauge stopped working.
I have an appointment set for 15 days from now. That said, it’s a real pleasure to drive: very smooth, lively acceleration, comfortable and perfect visibility. 800 km on the clock, but I’ve noticed city fuel consumption is much higher than advertised — 9.7 litres/100 km, mostly urban driving.
