New Honda CR-V for Sale nearCincinnati, OH

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 $22,018, and its lowest point over the past year was $19,875. 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 practical, well-rounded 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 reliability, spacious interior, and excellent fuel economy. They also frequently highlight its safety features and useful technology, which helps explain why it remains such a popular pick for everyday driving.

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

The main trade-offs across recent expert-reviewed years are the CVT’s droning under hard acceleration, conservative styling, and technology that can feel less advanced than some rivals. Even so, the CR-V’s comfort, utility, and ride quality keep it compelling for used buyers.

34.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are Honda CR-V models reliable?

Owners consistently praise the Honda CR-V for its reliability, spacious cabin, and strong fuel economy. Expert reviews also reinforce its practical, easy-to-live-with character and long-running reputation for comfort and 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, the long-term ownership picture looks favorable overall, especially if you choose a well-maintained example and verify its service history.

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

Across all model years, at 72.5% 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: This is the entry point to the lineup, and it gives you the 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus the Honda Sensing safety suite. It’s the best-value trim if you want the core CR-V experience without moving up for extra comfort and tech.
• 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.

Higher-volume years usually attract more shoppers because they offer a wider selection of trims, prices, and equipment levels. That makes it easier for you to compare options and find a CR-V that fits your budget and feature priorities.

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 more room to negotiate. The declines are generally modest, with only a couple of older years showing small gains instead of drops. Overall, the table points to a market where prices have softened across much of the lineup.

The 2016 and 2026 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.

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 −0.97% versus a year ago, and the 2025 model is at −3.9%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 33.3% good and great deals.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $31,567. 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.
• 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 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.
• 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.
