Used Honda CR-V for Sale nearColumbia, SC

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 $21,767, and its year-round low is $19,875.61. That puts the model's pricing in a fairly broad band across generations and recent model years. Recently, prices have come down for the 2023, 2024, and 2025 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 if you want a roomy, efficient, and easy-to-live-with crossover. 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, strong fuel economy, and reliable everyday character. Across the model years, the cabin comfort, practical cargo space, and safety features come up again and again as major strengths.

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

The main trade-offs show up in recent expert-tested years as a less engaging powertrain feel, conservative styling, and technology that can trail some rivals in breadth or polish.

32.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are Honda CR-V models reliable?

Owners consistently describe the Honda CR-V as dependable, practical, and easy to live with over time. Expert feedback also reinforces its reputation for comfort, usability, and strong everyday value.

• 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, long-term ownership risk is generally tied more to condition, maintenance history, and mileage than to the model's basic formula.

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

Across all model years, at 72.4% 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, a seatbelt reminder system, rear-seat reminder system, driver monitoring system, and traffic sign recognition system.
• 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 is the entry point to the lineup, and it gives you the 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the core Honda Sensing safety suite. It is the best-value trim if you want the essentials in a well-equipped package.
• EX-L: This trim adds the larger 9-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charging, an upgraded eight-speaker sound system, leather-wrapped interior touches, a power-adjustable front passenger’s seat, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a power rear liftgate, and front and rear parking sensors.

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 years tend to be popular because they give you a wider selection of trims, prices, and equipment levels. They also sit close enough to the current generation to feel modern while still offering used-car savings.

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

Most model years are moving lower year over year, which can work in your favor if you're shopping used. A few older years are edging up, so the strongest value opportunities are concentrated in the years with the sharper declines. The 2015 model year is holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year. The 2014, 2015, and 2016 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Is the Honda CR-V safe?

• 2023: 9/10
• 2021: 10/10
• 2020: 8/10
• 2019: 8/10
• 2017: 10/10
• 2015: 9/10

Honda Sensing is standard equipment on the 2023 CR-V, bringing 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, and traffic sign recognition system.

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 2025 model is at −5.0% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −2.21%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 32.9% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 33%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $31,669. The Honda CR-V offers a roomy cabin and strong everyday versatility that make it easy to live with.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: For the 2023 model year, the CR-V EX and EX-L get the same turbocharged 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which carries over from the previous-generation CR-V. It generates 190 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 179 pound-feet of torque between 1,700 rpm and 5,000 rpm, which is plenty for a compact SUV.
• Tech: Choose the CR-V EX-L, and Honda adds a larger 9-inch touchscreen display and an expanded list of features. Highlights include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, wireless charging, and an upgraded eight-speaker sound system.
• Safety: Honda bundles the tech under the Honda Sensing umbrella, and it includes the collision warning and avoidance features you’ve come to expect as standard equipment.
• Starting price: At the beginning of the model year, prices start at $31,110 for a CR-V EX with front-wheel drive (FWD) and rise to $35,260 for a CR-V EX-L with all-wheel drive (AWD).

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 2028 inventory to mature.
