How much does the 2023 Honda CR-V cost?

Prices have softened 3.27% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 5,199 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

If you find a listing below $28,919.35, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

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.

Owners consistently praise its smooth ride, quality interior, safety, and economy. The expert review also highlights its comfortable cabin, plenty of cargo space, and great ride-and-handling balance.

The trade-offs are clear: the transmission can be irritating, the styling is uninspired, and the tech package does not feel especially innovative. Even so, the CR-V’s roomy, practical setup makes it a strong fit if you want an easy-to-live-with compact crossover for daily use and family duty.

With 32.8% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is enough market flexibility to shop carefully without feeling rushed.

Is the 2023 Honda CR-V reliable?

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

The owner feedback points to a vehicle that feels smooth, safe, economical, and generally well liked over time. The expert review also describes it as a refined, well-executed SUV with quality, comfort, and utility that help it stand out in the class.

Honda’s complimentary maintenance plan for two years or 24,000 miles adds a little ownership reassurance, especially if you are comparing it with rivals that do not include that perk. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about outright durability and more about making sure the specific vehicle you choose has been maintained well and does not have hidden wear from heavy use.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a vehicle-specific record. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection if you are considering a higher-mileage example or one with incomplete service documentation. Focus on overall condition, interior wear, and how the transmission and driver-assist systems feel in real-world driving.

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 simpler, lower-cost choice, while the EX-L is the better-equipped pick.
• Powertrain: Both trims use a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder with 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque, paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission. It has enough strength for everyday driving, but the transmission can become noisy 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-centering 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, traffic sign recognition, and Traffic Jam Assist.
• Infotainment: The EX gets 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: The test vehicle returned 29 mpg in combined driving, and the review notes 29.1 mpg on a mountainous evaluation route.

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, the 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the full Honda Sensing safety suite. It makes sense if you want the lowest starting price and do not need the extra convenience features.
• EX-L: This is the best-value trim if you want the most complete version of the standard-engine CR-V. It adds the larger 9-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, wireless charging, a better audio system, a power rear liftgate, parking sensors, and a few upscale cabin touches that make daily use easier.

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

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 with some leverage if you are patient.

• Deal availability: 32.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 5,199 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.27% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 87.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $28,919.35, 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 $29,328 sits slightly below last year's $30,318.

That softer pricing suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable point in the cycle. If you plan to sell later, the current trend implies you may not see rapid appreciation, but the CR-V’s broad appeal should help it remain easy to move when the time comes. Strong demand for practical, well-liked compact SUVs tends to support resale stability, especially when the vehicle has a good reputation with owners.

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?

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

Honda Sensing is standard and includes adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, 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, a rear-seat reminder system, a driver monitoring system, traffic sign recognition, and Traffic Jam Assist.

The system is broad and well rounded, but the lane-centering assist can feel uncertain in some highway transition situations, and it can add an artificial feel to the steering. That is the main caveat to keep in mind if you rely heavily on driver assistance in everyday commuting.

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:

• 32.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.27% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.71/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 model brings a redesigned cabin, updated infotainment, and expanded safety tech, while also emphasizing the new hybrid direction for the lineup.

The bottom line: If you want the redesigned CR-V with updated tech and a strong comfort-and-utility formula, the 2023 is the right year to target. If your priority is stretching your budget as far as possible, a nearby model year may be worth comparing, but the 2023 stands out as the more current and well-rounded choice for shoppers who value everyday usability and a strong ownership reputation.
