Used Honda CR-V for Sale nearAuburn, CA

How much does the Honda CR-V cost in today's market?

Used Honda CR-V prices span a wide range depending on model year. Here's what the market looks like right now:

The Honda CR-V's current nationwide average price is $21,848, and its lowest point over the past year was $19,865. Recently, prices have come down for the 2024, 2025, and 2026 models, making now a good time to shop recent model years.

Is the Honda CR-V a good car?

Yes — the Honda CR-V is a strong used SUV choice, anchored by an all-generations owner rating of 4.57/5.

The all-generations owner rating is 4.57/5 across every model year in the data.

Owners consistently praise the CR-V for its spacious interior, excellent fuel economy, and strong safety features. Comfort, cargo room, and everyday usability also come up again and again, which helps explain why so many shoppers keep it on their list.

Expert reviews rate the 2017 and 2015 models among the highest across all years.

The main trade-offs in recent expert-reviewed years center on the transmission’s behavior, conservative styling, and limited technological innovation. Even so, the CR-V’s comfort, utility, and ride quality keep it appealing for shoppers who want a practical compact SUV.

32.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are Honda CR-V models reliable?

Owners consistently describe the Honda CR-V as reliable, comfortable, and efficient, and expert coverage reinforces its long-running reputation for practicality and everyday ease. Across model years, the CR-V is repeatedly praised for its spacious cabin, strong fuel economy, and durable character.

• Owners rate the Honda CR-V between 3.75 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.

For used buyers, that combination points to a model that can be a reassuring long-term ownership choice when you verify maintenance history and overall condition.

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

Across all model years, at 72.6% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2022 models.

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: Honda Sensing, including 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, seatbelt reminder system, rear-seat reminder system, driver monitoring system, traffic sign recognition system, and Traffic Jam Assist.
• Infotainment: A 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a larger 9-inch touchscreen display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, wireless charging, and an upgraded eight-speaker sound system.
• Fuel efficiency: The EPA says our test vehicle should get 29 mpg in combined driving, and we averaged 29.1 mpg on a mountainous Southern California evaluation route.

Which Honda CR-V trim should I buy?

The 2023 Honda CR-V offers these trims:

• EX: This entry trim starts the lineup with a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 7-inch digital instrumentation panel, cloth upholstery, and Honda Sensing driver-assistance features.
• EX-L: This is the best-value trim if you want the biggest step up in comfort and convenience, adding a larger 9-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, wireless charging, an upgraded eight-speaker sound system, leather-wrapped interior touchpoints, a power-adjustable front passenger’s seat, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a power rear liftgate, and front and rear parking sensors.
• Sport Touring Hybrid: This top trim adds the Bose premium sound system, HondaLink subscription services, and a navigation system with real-time traffic.

What Honda CR-V do most buyers choose?

The Honda CR-V years with the most listings are 2025, 2024, and 2023.

These higher-volume model years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, more pricing spread to shop, and a newer feature set that many used buyers want. They also sit close enough to the current generation to feel familiar while still offering meaningful savings versus newer examples.

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

Most model years are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used and want to stretch your budget. A few older and newer years are close to flat or slightly higher, showing that some CR-Vs continue to hold value well. Overall, the pattern favors buyers more than sellers.

The 2015, 2016, and 2026 model years are holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2014, 2015, and 2026 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

For the safest used buy, the 2017 and 2021 models both post the highest confirmed score of 10/10.

Should I buy a used Honda CR-V now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2026 model is at −0.53% versus a year ago, and the 2025 model is at −4.55%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 33.8% good and great deals.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $31,781. The Honda CR-V offers a roomy cabin, useful cargo space, and a practical, easy-to-live-with character that has made it a long-running favorite.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The 2023 model uses a turbocharged 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque, and the EPA says our test vehicle should get 29 mpg in combined driving.
• Tech: The 2023 model adds a larger 9-inch touchscreen display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, wireless charging, and an upgraded eight-speaker sound system.
• Safety: The 2023 model adds Honda Sensing with adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, lane-centering assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and Traffic Jam Assist.
• Starting price: At the beginning of the model year, prices start at $31,110 for a CR-V EX with front-wheel drive.

If you're buying used today, the 2025 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
