Check VIN and software campaign completion. Multipurpose camera software can limit adaptive cruise control function; Honda's fix is a camera-unit update.

What else could fit?
Skoda Kodiaq
Best like-for-like family SUV alternative: similar two-row/occasional seven-seat practicality and long-distance family use versus a CR-V e:HEV.
Compare the models ↗Tesla Model Y
Comparable midsize family crossover if you want CR-V-like cabin and boot usefulness but a full-EV powertrain instead of the Honda hybrid.
Compare the models ↗Volkswagen Touran
Strong alternative if your CR-V shortlist is really about rear-seat and luggage practicality; less SUV style, but very similar family-hauling brief.
