New Honda CR-V for Sale nearClemson, 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 $21,843, and over the past year that average reached a low of $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-car pick if you want a roomy, efficient, and easy-to-live-with compact SUV. 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. Reliability and everyday comfort also come up again and again, along with useful cargo space and a practical, family-friendly layout.

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

The main trade-offs that show up in recent expert reviews are the CVT’s droning under hard acceleration, conservative styling, and a tech package that can feel short of the class leaders in some trims.

33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are Honda CR-V models reliable?

The Honda CR-V has a long-running reputation for reliability, and owners repeatedly praise its durable, comfortable, and easy-to-live-with character. Expert coverage also reinforces that reputation by highlighting the CR-V’s solid build quality and long-term dependability.

• 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 with a rough history, so a careful vehicle-history check matters.

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

Across all model years, at 72.8% 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; EX-L models add 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, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 7-inch digital instrumentation panel, cloth upholstery, and the Honda Sensing safety suite.
• EX-L: This is the best-value trim if you want the strongest mix of comfort and features, adding the 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 years tend to be popular because they give you a broad mix of inventory, pricing, and equipment. They also sit close enough to the newest models to offer modern features while still giving you more used-car value than buying new.

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

Most model years are down year over year, which is helpful if you’re shopping used and want to avoid paying peak prices. A few older and newer years are holding close to flat or edging up, so the pattern is not uniform across the lineup.

The 2015 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.

Is the Honda CR-V safe?

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

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, 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 −0.51% versus a year ago, and the 2025 model is at −4.41%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 34.5% good and great deals.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $31,763. The Honda CR-V offers a roomy cabin, useful cargo space, and a practical, easy-to-live-with character that makes it a strong everyday SUV.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The 2023 model uses a turbocharged 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that generates 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque.
• Tech: Highlights include 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: 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.

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.
