Used 2023 Honda HR-V for Sale nearColumbus, OH

How much does the 2023 Honda HR-V cost?

Prices have softened 3.38% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 4,233 listings available, which suggests you should have a reasonable amount of inventory to compare.

If you find a listing below $23,505.78, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2023 Honda HR-V a good car?

Generally — the 2023 Honda HR-V earns a 4.4/5 user rating and an 8.17/10 expert rating, which points to a strong overall showing for used shoppers. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel and Safety.

Owners consistently praise its smooth ride, strong value for the money, and feature-rich feel. The expert review also highlights its polished styling and the way the top trim feels more expensive than it is.

The trade-offs are clear: the HR-V does not offer a hybrid option, and its performance is described as fairly pedestrian. That makes it a better fit if you care more about standard safety equipment, comfort, and everyday usability than quick acceleration.

With the HR-V positioned as a practical subcompact SUV, it makes the most sense if you want a well-rounded commuter or small-family vehicle rather than a sporty one. Even so, 31.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there are still attractive opportunities in the market.

Is the 2023 Honda HR-V reliable?

Owners rate it 4.4/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction. The owner feedback also points to a dependable, trouble-free feel, with drivers emphasizing that it is a car they can count on for everyday use.

The expert review reinforces that impression by describing the HR-V as a polished, well-rounded SUV with a strong standard equipment set and a reassuringly composed driving experience. Honda also includes complimentary maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles, which helps reduce early ownership costs.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about outright durability and more about making sure the vehicle has been maintained properly and hasn’t been neglected.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because even a strong accident-free share does not replace a vehicle-by-vehicle review. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with incomplete service records. Focus on overall condition, feature operation, and signs of wear that could affect long-term ownership costs.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LX is the most basic version, while Sport adds a more distinctive exterior treatment and extra convenience features, and EX-L brings the most upscale cabin feel with leather seating, dual-zone climate control, a power moonroof, and an eight-way power driver’s seat.
• Powertrain: Every 2023 HR-V uses a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine with 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque, paired with a CVT. Front-wheel drive and AWD are both available, and the model is tuned more for everyday usability than quick acceleration.
• Safety package: Honda Sensing is standard on every trim and includes adaptive cruise control, collision-mitigation braking, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, road-departure mitigation, lane-departure warning, forward-collision warning, traffic-sign recognition, traffic jam assist, and automatic high-beam headlights. Blind-spot information is standard on Sport and EX-L, while EX-L also adds front and rear parking sensors and low-speed braking control.
• Infotainment: Every trim gets a 7-inch digital gauge cluster and a 7-inch color touchscreen, with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on LX and Sport and wireless versions on EX-L. EX-L also upgrades to a 9-inch infotainment display and adds a Qi-compatible wireless charging pad.
• Fuel efficiency: The HR-V is EPA-rated at 28 mpg combined with FWD and 27 mpg combined with AWD.

Which 2023 Honda HR-V trim should I buy?

The 2023 Honda HR-V is offered in 3 trim levels: LX, Sport, and EX-L.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the value play if you want the lowest entry price and still want the full Honda Sensing safety suite, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a 7-inch touchscreen, and the core HR-V experience without paying for extras.
• Sport: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds a more distinctive look, heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, a six-speaker audio system, Smart Entry, remote start, and walkaway auto lock.
• EX-L: This is the trim to choose if you want the most upscale cabin and the most complete tech package, including leather seats, dual-zone climate control, a power moonroof, an eight-speaker audio system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 9-inch display, wireless charging, and added parking sensors.

Honda Sensing is standard across the lineup, but blind-spot information is limited to Sport and EX-L, and EX-L gets the fullest safety and convenience package.

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

The current average of $23,952 sits slightly below last year's $24,790.

That softer pricing suggests the HR-V has become a more buyer-friendly used SUV, which can help you if you’re shopping now. For a future seller, it also means you should expect pricing pressure if the market stays competitive and inventory remains healthy.

The good news is that the HR-V’s strong owner satisfaction and broad appeal should help support demand over time. Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.4/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 Honda HR-V safe?

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

Honda Sensing is standard on every trim, and it includes adaptive cruise control, collision-mitigation braking, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, road-departure mitigation, lane-departure warning, forward-collision warning, traffic-sign recognition, traffic jam assist, and automatic high-beam headlights. A driver-attention monitor is also standard across the board, while blind-spot information is standard on Sport and EX-L, and EX-L adds front and rear parking sensors plus low-speed braking control.

The expert review also notes that the new single-camera system widens the field of vision significantly, which supports the HR-V’s safety case. One caveat is that the 2023 model had not yet been crash-tested by NHTSA or IIHS at the time of the review.

Should I buy a 2023 Honda HR-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:

• 31.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.38% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 model brings a redesigned cabin and exterior, standard Honda Sensing across the lineup, and a simpler three-trim range that makes shopping easier.

The bottom line: If you want the newest HR-V shape, standard safety tech, and a more upscale feel in the top trim, the 2023 is the better path. If your priority is lower purchase price and you can live with older design and equipment, a nearby year may still make sense for value-focused shopping.
