Used 2023 Honda CR-V for Sale near British Columbia

How much does the 2023 Honda CR-V cost?

Prices have softened 7.99% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 958 listings available, which suggests you should have a reasonable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2023 Honda CR-V a good car?

Yes — the 2023 Honda CR-V earns a 4.7/5 user rating and a 7.8/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Form and function and Safety.

Owners consistently praise its smooth ride, quality interior, safety, and economy. The CR-V also stands out for being comfortable, offering plenty of cargo space, and delivering a great ride and handling balance.

The trade-offs are a transmission that can be irritating and a cabin that does not feel especially innovative on the technology front. For you, that means the CR-V makes the most sense if you want a practical family SUV that is easy to live with rather than one that tries to impress with flash.

With 30.3% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still enough market activity to make comparison shopping worthwhile.

Is the 2023 Honda CR-V reliable?

Owners rate it 4.7/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Drivers praise the CR-V’s smooth ride, quality interior, safety, and economy, and that positive feedback points to a vehicle that many owners can count on day to day. The expert review also describes it as a well-executed and dynamically satisfying SUV with a refined ride and handling balance.

Honda’s standard maintenance coverage is not highlighted here, so your main long-term ownership consideration is the same one the review raises: past reliability concerns with older models may still be on some shoppers’ minds.

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

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The EX-L adds leather-wrapped seats, steering wheel, and shift knob, plus a larger touchscreen infotainment system, 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 B trims omit blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.
• Powertrain: Gas-only models use a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque, paired with a CVT and front- or all-wheel drive. It has plenty of power for a compact SUV, but the CVT 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, and automatic high-beam headlights. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are included, though some B trims omit them.
• Infotainment: Most trims get a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The EX-L upgrades to a 9-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, wireless charging, and an upgraded eight-speaker sound system.
• 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, but some B trims omit blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, so you should check the exact equipment list carefully if safety tech matters to you.
• Sport: This trim sits above the base model and is a better fit if you want a more complete feature set without jumping all the way to the EX-L or hybrid range.
• EX-L: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds the larger 9-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, wireless charging, a power rear liftgate, and parking sensors while keeping the standard turbo engine.
• Touring Hybrid: Choose this if you want the top-of-the-line trim and are willing to pay for the most feature-rich version, but the review’s focus is on the standard gas model rather than the hybrid.

Honda’s safety package is broadly standard, but some B trims leave out blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, so verify the exact build before you buy.

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: 30.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 958 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.99% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $32,160 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 $32,160 CAD sits slightly below last year's $34,952 CAD.

That softer pricing can help you as a buyer today, but it also suggests future sellers may face a more competitive market if prices continue to ease. If you buy at the right number now, you may have less downside risk later than someone who paid closer to the prior-year average.

The CR-V’s strong reputation for comfort, utility, and owner satisfaction should help support demand over time. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.7/5, 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+ designation from the 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, and rear cross-traffic alert. Newer features also include a seatbelt reminder system, rear-seat reminder system, driver monitoring system, traffic sign recognition system, and Traffic Jam Assist.

One caveat is that some B trims omit blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, so you should confirm the exact trim before buying. The review also notes that lane-centring assist can feel uncertain in some highway situations.

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:

• 30.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.99% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.7/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 brings a redesigned cabin, new infotainment systems, and updated safety features, plus the first Canadian availability of the hybrid powertrain.

The bottom line: If you want the newest redesign with stronger tech and safety than the previous generation, the 2023 is the better path. If your priority is stretching your budget, a nearby model year may still make sense, but the 2023’s updated package and softer pricing make it the more compelling choice for many used buyers.
