How much does the 2023 Honda CR-V cost?

Prices have softened 3.24% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 5,284 listings available, which suggests you have a healthy amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2023 Honda CR-V a good car?

Yes — the 2023 Honda CR-V earns a 4.71/5 user rating and a 7.83/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Form and function and Safety.

Drivers consistently praise its smooth ride, quality interior, and great features, and they also like its safety and economy. That lines up with the CR-V’s roomy cabin, plenty of cargo space, and comfortable everyday driving character. The trade-offs are a transmission that can be irritating, styling that is more conservative than exciting, and limited technological ambition.

For you, that means the 2023 CR-V makes the most sense if you want a compact SUV that prioritizes comfort and usability over flash. It also looks like a solid market choice, with 33.4% of listings marked as good or great deals.

Is the 2023 Honda CR-V reliable?

Owners rate it 4.71/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

User feedback points to a vehicle that feels smooth, quality-built, and easy to live with, with drivers especially appreciating its safety, economy, and overall dependability. The expert review also emphasizes how refined and well-executed the CR-V feels in daily driving, which supports the impression that it should be a trouble-free companion over time.

Honda’s complimentary maintenance plan for two years or 24,000 miles helps soften early ownership costs a bit. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about outright durability and more about whether the specific vehicle has been maintained well and avoided hard use.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Honda CR-V?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a proper records review. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on how the vehicle drives, how the transmission behaves, and whether the cabin and tech features work as expected. Condition matters most here, especially if you want the CR-V’s comfort and usability to feel as good in person as they do on paper.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The EX and EX-L look similar outside, but the EX-L adds leather-wrapped seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, a larger touchscreen, a power-adjustable front passenger seat, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a power rear liftgate, and front and rear parking sensors. The EX is the more affordable entry point, while the EX-L is the better-equipped choice.
• Powertrain: Both trims use a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque, paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission. It is strong enough for a compact SUV, but the transmission can become noisy under hard acceleration.
• Safety package: Honda Sensing is standard and includes adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, 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, and Traffic Jam Assist. The lane-centering system can feel uncertain in some highway situations.
• Infotainment: The EX gets a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while the EX-L upgrades to a 9-inch display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, wireless charging, and an upgraded eight-speaker sound system.
• Fuel efficiency: The test vehicle returned 29.1 mpg on a mountainous evaluation route, and the EPA says it should get 29 mpg in combined driving.

Which 2023 Honda CR-V trim should I buy?

The 2023 Honda CR-V is offered in 2 trim levels: EX and EX-L.

Here's the short version:

• EX: This is the entry point to the lineup, and it gives you the core CR-V experience with the turbocharged engine, standard Honda Sensing safety tech, a 7-inch touchscreen, and the practical cabin layout that makes the model so appealing. It is the trim to choose if you want the lowest starting price and can live without the extra convenience features.
• EX-L: This is the best-value trim if you want the most complete gas-powered CR-V. It adds leather upholstery, a larger 9-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, wireless charging, a power rear liftgate, parking sensors, and a power-adjustable front passenger seat, making it the smarter pick for most shoppers.

Honda Sensing is standard on both trims, so you do not need to move up the lineup to get the core driver-assistance package.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Honda CR-V?

This looks like a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory and enough deal activity to make comparison shopping worthwhile.

• Deal availability: 33.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 5,284 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.24% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 87.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $28,918, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Honda CR-V's resale value?

The current average of $29,307 sits slightly below last year's $30,289.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled a bit, which can help you as a buyer today but may also mean a future seller has less room to count on appreciation. If you buy at the right price and keep the vehicle in strong condition, you should still be positioned reasonably well for resale because the CR-V remains a high-demand compact SUV.

The softer pricing trend also means depreciation has already started to work in your favor if you plan to keep the vehicle for a few years. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.71/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 Honda CR-V safe?

The 2023 Honda CR-V is completely redesigned, so both NHTSA and IIHS need to re-test it to assess its crashworthiness.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Honda Sensing is standard and brings adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, 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, traffic sign recognition, and Traffic Jam Assist.

One caveat is that lane-centering assist can feel uncertain in some highway merge and lane-width-change situations, and it can add some artificiality to the steering feel. That means the CR-V is well equipped for safety, but you should still test the driver-assistance systems yourself to see whether you like how they behave.

Should I buy a 2023 Honda CR-V or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 33.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.24% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.71/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 model brings a redesigned body, updated infotainment, and expanded safety tech that move the CR-V forward.

The bottom line: If you want the redesigned CR-V with newer tech and a strong comfort-first personality, the 2023 model is the one to target. If your priority is stretching your budget as far as possible, a nearby older year may offer a lower entry price, but you give up some of the redesign’s added equipment and refinement.
