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

Which Honda HR-V trim should I buy?

The 2026 Honda HR-V offers these trims:

• EX-L: This is the best-value trim if you want the most upscale cabin, with leather seating, front footwell lighting, silver steering wheel spokes, parking sensors with low-speed automatic braking, and the most complete equipment list.

What Honda HR-V do most buyers choose?

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

They also sit close enough to the newest generation to deliver modern features while still offering more value than the latest model year.

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

Most model years are moving lower year over year, which is good news if you want to buy used. A few years are close to flat or slightly higher, showing that some HR-V versions are still holding value well.

The 2017, 2016, and 2024 model years have held their value best, with prices flat to rising year-over-year.

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

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −2.2% versus a year ago, and the 2023 model is at −3.38%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 32% good and great deals, and the 2023 model has 31.8%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $25,846. The Honda HR-V offers a practical cabin and a comfortable, easygoing character that make it a strong everyday choice.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: Honda installs a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine under the HR-V’s hood. It produces 158 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 138 pound-feet of torque at 4,200 rpm in a vehicle that weighs up to 3,336 pounds.
• Tech: For 2026, Honda increased the standard touchscreen size from 7 to 9 inches and installed a faster processor to make the screen more responsive to inputs. Additionally, the infotainment system now includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and every HR-V features a wireless smartphone charger.
• Safety: Honda equips every HR-V with Honda Sensing, a collection of driver-assistive features. They include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, adaptive cruise control, traffic jam assist, and automatic high-beam headlights.
• Starting price: Pricing ranges from $27,650 to $31,500, including a $1,450 destination charge, and adding AWD incurs a $1,500 upcharge.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 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.
