Used Honda CR-V for Sale nearLouisville, KY

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 $22,035, and its lowest point over the past year was $19,861. 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 if you want a roomy, practical crossover with broad owner appeal. 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 cabin, strong fuel economy, and reliability. Comfort and everyday usability also come up again and again, along with safety and useful technology.

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

The main tradeoffs that show up in recent expert reviews are the CVT’s droning under hard acceleration, conservative styling, and technology that can feel less advanced than some rivals.

35.1% 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. Expert reviews also reinforce its reputation for comfort, strong everyday usability, and a well-rounded ownership experience.

• 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, the biggest long-term ownership risk is choosing a higher-mileage example without a solid maintenance and history record.

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, traffic sign recognition system, and Traffic Jam Assist.
• Infotainment: a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; EX-L adds 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: Entry trim with a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 7-inch digital instrumentation panel, and a straightforward layout that suits buyers who want the essentials.
• EX-L: Best-value trim for many shoppers, adding a larger 9-inch touchscreen display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, 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 combine newer features, broad availability, and strong pricing with the CR-V’s familiar practicality. Shoppers often gravitate to them when they want a well-equipped used SUV with plenty of choices on the market.

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

Most model years are down year over year, which is good news if you are shopping used and want prices to be moving in your favor. A few older years are holding steady or edging up, but the overall pattern still points to softer pricing across much of the lineup.

The 2015 and 2016 model years are 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

Honda bundles the tech under the Honda Sensing umbrella, and it 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 system, and Traffic Jam Assist.

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 −2.28% versus a year ago, and the 2025 model is at −3.86%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 38.3% good and great deals.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $31,436. The Honda CR-V offers a roomy cabin and a practical, easy-to-live-with character that makes it a strong everyday family SUV.

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. In other words, you get adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, and automatic high-beam headlights.
• 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 the next model year's inventory to build up.
