How much does the 2017 Honda CR-V cost?

Prices have softened 1.80% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 4,251 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for shoppers comparing prices and trims.

If you find a listing below $16,859.40, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2017 Honda CR-V a good car?

Yes — the 4.65/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction, and the expert rating is 8.67/10. The standout strength is Safety at 10/10.

Owners consistently praise the CR-V’s excellent fuel economy, spacious interior, and strong value for the price. The review summary also highlights reliability and a good mix of features, which fits a compact crossover that works well for families and daily commuting. With the model’s roomy cargo area and practical packaging, you get a vehicle that is built around everyday usefulness.

The market also looks healthy, with 32.2% of listings marked as good or great deals.

Is the 2017 Honda CR-V reliable?

Owners rate it 4.65/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The review summary repeatedly points to reliability, and it also frames the CR-V as a dependable, great-value choice with a reputation for longevity. The expert write-up reinforces that theme by describing the model as a vehicle with a long history of providing reliability and cost-effective transportation for years to come. It also notes that the CR-V is built to be practical and affordable to own.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about the core reputation and more about finding a well-kept example, since condition and maintenance history will matter more than the model’s overall track record.

What should I look for when buying a used 2017 Honda CR-V?

At 60.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the listing price looks unusually attractive. Focus on signs of prior bodywork, uneven panel gaps, tire wear, and any evidence that the vehicle has been repaired after a collision. It also makes sense to pay close attention to how the cabin, electronics, and driver-assistance features function in real-world use.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base LX is the most stripped-down version, while higher trims add more comfort and convenience. The LX misses the standard Honda Sensing suite, and the more expensive trims bring a more upscale cabin feel and additional equipment.
• Powertrain: The base version uses a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with 184 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque. Other trims use a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder with 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque, which delivers power lower in the rev range and improves fuel economy.
• Safety package: Honda Sensing is the driver-assistance suite, and it includes adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, and Road Departure Mitigation. It is standard on all trims except the base LX, and the Driver Attention Monitor is included on EX, EX-L, and Touring.
• Infotainment: The system uses a 7-inch touchscreen and includes Bluetooth calling and music streaming, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and text-messaging support. It also offers HondaLink services, with available navigation and a premium audio upgrade.
• Fuel efficiency: The turbocharged engine is described as more efficient than the base engine, and the AWD version is cited at 29 mpg in combined driving. A test loop returned 26.1 miles per gallon.

Which 2017 Honda CR-V trim should I buy?

The 2017 Honda CR-V is offered in 4 trim levels: LX, EX, EX-L, Touring.

Here's the short version:

• Base trim: The LX is the value play, but it lacks the standard Honda Sensing suite and does not get the standard touchscreen setup found on higher trims.
• Sweet-spot trim: The EX is the best balance for many shoppers because it adds the turbocharged engine and the core tech and safety equipment without pushing into luxury pricing.
• Premium/top trim: The Touring is the most upscale choice, with the most premium cabin presentation, optional AWD in the test vehicle, and the most complete feature set.
• Off-road trim: None of the trims are positioned as an off-road-focused choice, so there is no special daily-driver caution to weigh here.

Honda Sensing is standard on all trims except the base LX, so if safety tech matters to you, that trim-level gap is worth factoring into your decision.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2017 Honda CR-V?

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to compare listings carefully without rushing.

• Deal availability: 32.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,251 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 1.80% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 60.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $16,859.40, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2017 Honda CR-V's resale value?

The current average of $17,735 sits slightly below last year's $18,060.

That price movement suggests the market has eased a bit, which can help you buy at a more favorable point if you plan to keep the vehicle for several years. For a future seller, the softer trend means resale upside may be more gradual than it was a year ago. Even so, the CR-V’s strong reputation for practicality and owner satisfaction should help support demand over time.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.65/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2017 Honda CR-V safe?

It earns a 10/10 safety score from our experts.

The Honda Sensing suite is the key safety package, and it includes adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, and Road Departure Mitigation. Blind-spot warning, a reversing camera with multiple camera angles, and rear cross-traffic alert also add useful everyday protection. The main trim-level caveat is that Honda Sensing is not standard on the base LX.

Should I buy a 2017 Honda CR-V or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2017 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2017 if:

• 32.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 60.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 1.80% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.65/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The expert summary says there is “no pig” in the redesign and concludes that you should buy one.

The bottom line: If you want the redesigned CR-V with strong owner satisfaction, good safety, and a market that still offers some negotiating room, the 2017 model is a sensible target. If you are especially price-sensitive, you may want to compare it against nearby years and focus on the cleanest, best-maintained listing rather than chasing the newest badge.
