Owners repeatedly praise the HR-V for its comfort, smooth ride, and roomy, versatile interior. They also tend to highlight its user-friendly features, good value, and everyday practicality, especially for families and city driving.

Expert reviews rate the 2023 and 2016 models among the highest across all years.

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

Most HR-V model years are moving lower year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used and want prices to work in your favor. A few years are holding close to flat or edging upward, so the market is not moving in one direction across the board. Overall, the pattern still favors buyers who want to wait for the right listing rather than rush into a purchase.

The 2018, 2024, and 2026 model years are holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

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?

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, and the infotainment system now includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
• Safety: Honda equips every HR-V with Honda Sensing, a collection of driver-assistive features, and the automaker reserves a blind-spot monitoring system with rear cross-traffic alert for the Sport and EX-L trim levels.
• Starting price: The 2026 Honda HR-V is the second-cheapest vehicle in the automaker’s lineup.

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.
