What Honda HR-V do most buyers choose?

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

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they combine newer-model features with broad availability, which gives you more choices when comparing trims, colors, and prices. They also tend to attract shoppers who want a newer HR-V without moving all the way to the latest model year.

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

Most HR-V model years are trending lower year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used and want prices that have eased a bit. A couple of newer years are close to flat or slightly higher, so the overall picture is mixed rather than uniformly falling. The smallest changes are concentrated at the low end of the range, while the larger drops show up in several older and mid-cycle years.

The 2016 and 2024 model years are holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2024, 2016, and 2018 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

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: The 2026 HR-V trim levels include LX, Sport, and EX-L. Pricing ranges from $27,650 to $31,500, including a $1,450 destination charge.

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.
