How much does the 2023 Honda CR-V cost?

Prices have softened 3.00% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 5,356 listings available, which suggests healthy inventory for shoppers comparing prices and trims.

Is the 2023 Honda CR-V a good car?

Yes — the 2023 Honda CR-V earns a 4.71/5 user rating and a 7.83/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Form and function and Safety.

You’ll see the same themes come up repeatedly in owner feedback: a smooth ride, a quality interior, and strong safety and economy. The overview also points to a roomy cabin and everyday usability, which fits the CR-V’s role as a comfort-first compact SUV.

The main trade-offs are the irritating transmission and uninspired styling, along with a lack of technological innovation. Even so, the CR-V’s combination of comfort, cargo space, and easy livability makes it a strong fit if you want a practical compact crossover rather than something sporty.

With 34.0% of listings priced as good or great deals, there’s enough market activity to shop selectively without feeling rushed.

Is the 2023 Honda CR-V reliable?

Owners rate it 4.71/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback also points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience, with praise centered on the CR-V’s quality, safety, and economy. The expert review reinforces that impression by describing the SUV as refined, well executed, and built to hold its own over the long term.

Honda’s complimentary maintenance plan for two years or 24,000 miles adds a little extra peace of mind for early ownership. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about the core package and more about making sure the specific vehicle has been maintained properly and hasn’t been worn down by heavy use.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Honda CR-V?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any candidate and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the listing price looks unusually attractive. Focus on overall condition, since the CR-V’s value proposition depends heavily on how well the cabin, electronics, and drivetrain have been kept up.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The EX and EX-L share the same exterior look, but the EX-L adds leather-wrapped seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, a larger touchscreen, a power-adjustable front passenger seat, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a power rear liftgate, and front and rear parking sensors. The EX is the more affordable entry point, while the EX-L is the better-equipped choice if you want more convenience features.
• Powertrain: Both trims use a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque, paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission. It’s plenty for a compact SUV, but the transmission can drone under hard acceleration.
• Safety package: Honda Sensing is standard and includes adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, automatic high-beam headlights, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, a seatbelt reminder system, rear-seat reminder system, driver monitoring system, traffic sign recognition, and Traffic Jam Assist. The lane-centering system can feel uncertain in some highway transitions.
• Infotainment: The EX has a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while the EX-L upgrades to a 9-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, wireless charging, and an upgraded eight-speaker sound system.
• Fuel efficiency: The expert test vehicle returned 29 mpg in combined driving, and the review notes that the transmission helps the CR-V achieve impressive fuel economy numbers.

Which 2023 Honda CR-V trim should I buy?

The 2023 Honda CR-V is offered in 2 trim levels: EX and EX-L.

Here's the short version:

• EX: This is the entry point to the lineup, and it gives you the core CR-V formula with the turbocharged engine, standard Honda Sensing, a 7-inch touchscreen, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It makes sense if you want the lowest starting price and are comfortable giving up the extra convenience features.
• EX-L: This is the best-value trim if you want the most complete gas-powered CR-V experience. It adds leather upholstery, a larger 9-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, wireless charging, a power rear liftgate, parking sensors, and a power-adjustable front passenger seat.

Honda Sensing is standard across the lineup, so you don’t need to move up a trim for the core driver-assistance package.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Honda CR-V?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 34.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 5,356 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.00% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 87.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $28,916, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Honda CR-V's resale value?

The current average of $29,297 sits slightly below last year's $30,203.

That softer pricing can work in your favor if you’re buying now, but it also means a future seller may need to be realistic about expectations. The current trend suggests the market has already adjusted downward from last year’s level, so resale value will depend heavily on condition, mileage, and trim.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.71/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 Honda CR-V safe?

The 2023 Honda CR-V is completely redesigned, so both NHTSA and IIHS still need to re-test it to assess crashworthiness.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Honda Sensing is standard and includes adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, automatic high-beam headlights, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, a seatbelt reminder system, rear-seat reminder system, driver monitoring system, traffic sign recognition, and Traffic Jam Assist.

The review also notes that lane-centering assist can feel uncertain in some highway transition situations, and that it can add artificiality to the steering feel. That’s worth keeping in mind if you plan to rely on the system often.

Should I buy a 2023 Honda CR-V or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 34.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.00% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.71/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 redesign brings a roomier cabin, updated infotainment, and expanded safety features.

The bottom line: If you want the redesigned CR-V with its roomier cabin, improved tech, and strong owner satisfaction, the 2023 is the right target. If you’re especially price-sensitive, you may want to compare it with nearby model years to see whether a lower entry price outweighs the 2023’s updates and current market softness.
