Honda’s first scheduled maintenance visit is on the house.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about outright durability and more about living with the CVT and the higher purchase price compared with older examples.

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

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The CR-V EX-L adds leather-wrapped seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, a larger touchscreen, a power-adjustable front passenger’s seat, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a power rear liftgate, and front and rear parking sensors. Lower grades use cloth upholstery and a smaller touchscreen, while some Canadian B trims omit blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.
• Powertrain: Gas-only models use a turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine with 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque, paired with a CVT and available with front- or all-wheel drive. The transmission is the main drawback because it can drone under hard acceleration.
• Safety package: Honda Sensing includes adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centring assist, automatic high-beam headlights, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, a seatbelt reminder system, a rear-seat reminder system, a driver monitoring system, and traffic sign recognition. Some B trims omit blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.
• Infotainment: Most trims get a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. 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. A Bose premium sound system and navigation with real-time traffic are reserved for the Touring Hybrid.
• Fuel efficiency: Natural Resources Canada says the test vehicle should see 8.4 L/100 km in combined driving, and the review’s evaluation route returned 8.1 L/100 km.

Which 2023 Honda CR-V trim should I buy?

The 2023 Honda CR-V is offered in 4 trim levels: LX-B, Sport, EX-L, Touring Hybrid.

Here's the short version:

• LX-B: This is the entry point, and it makes sense if you want the lowest starting price and the core CR-V formula without paying for extra comfort or tech. It is the trim most likely to feel basic, especially compared with the better-equipped versions.
• Sport: This is the step-up choice if you want more equipment without jumping all the way to the top of the range. It should suit you if you want a more complete daily driver while still keeping an eye on value.
• EX-L: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds the most meaningful upgrades: leather upholstery, a larger touchscreen, wireless smartphone connectivity, wireless charging, a power liftgate, and parking sensors. If you want the sweet spot between price and features, this is the one to target.
• Touring Hybrid: This is the top trim and the only hybrid offered in Canada. Choose it if you want the most equipment and are specifically shopping for the hybrid powertrain.

Honda also notes that some Canadian B trims omit blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully without expecting every listing to be a bargain.

• Deal availability: 29.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 926 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.79% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $32,545 CAD, 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 $32,585 CAD sits slightly below last year's $36,525 CAD.

That softer pricing can help you as a buyer today, but it also means a future seller may need to be realistic about expectations if the market stays competitive. The CR-V’s broad appeal, strong practicality, and reputation for comfort should help support demand over time. Even so, resale value will depend on how well the vehicle is equipped and how clean its history is when you decide to sell.

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 earns a Top Safety Pick+ rating from IIHS.

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

Honda Sensing is the standard driver-assistance suite, and it includes adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centring assist, automatic high-beam headlights, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, a seatbelt reminder system, a rear-seat reminder system, a driver monitoring system, and traffic sign recognition. Some Canadian B trims omit blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.

One caveat is that the lane-centring assist can feel uncertain in some highway transition situations, and it can add an artificial feel to the steering.

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:

• 29.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.79% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.71/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 redesign brings a roomier cabin, updated infotainment, improved safety tech, and the first Canada-market hybrid CR-V.

The bottom line: If you want the most up-to-date CR-V shape, the roomiest cabin, and the strongest mix of comfort and practicality, the 2023 model is the one to target. If your priority is lower pricing and you can live with older tech and the previous-generation design, a nearby earlier year may be the more budget-friendly path.
