Used 2023 Honda CR-V for Sale nearPickering, ON

How much does the 2023 Honda CR-V cost?

Prices have softened 11.19% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 933 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

Is the 2023 Honda CR-V a good car?

Yes — it 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 useful features, and they also respond well to its safety and economy. The CR-V’s roomy cabin and cargo space make it especially appealing if you want everyday practicality, while the updated feature set helps it stay competitive. On the trade-off side, the transmission can be irritating, the styling is uninspired, and it does not bring much technological innovation.

For Canadian shoppers who want a comfortable, practical compact SUV with strong space and refinement, it fits the brief well. With 27.3% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2023 Honda CR-V reliable?

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

The user feedback points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience, with drivers highlighting the CR-V’s quality, smoothness, and confidence-inspiring character. The expert assessment also describes it as a vehicle that will hold its own against top-selling alternatives, which supports the idea that it is built for long-term use. 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 whether you can live with the CVT’s behaviour and the model’s higher pricing.

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

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The EX-L stands out with leather-wrapped seats, steering wheel, and shift knob, plus 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 front- or all-wheel drive. The CVT is the main drivability compromise, especially under hard acceleration.
• Safety package: Honda Sensing includes adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, 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, rear-seat reminder system, driver monitoring system, traffic sign recognition, and Traffic Jam Assist. Some B trims leave out 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 touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, wireless charging, and an upgraded eight-speaker sound system. The top Touring Hybrid is needed for the Bose premium sound system and navigation with real-time traffic.
• Fuel efficiency: Natural Resources Canada says the test vehicle should see 8.4 L/100 km in combined driving, and the 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 gives you the redesigned CR-V experience at the lowest starting price. It makes sense if you want the basics and are comfortable giving up some convenience and safety content found higher up.
• Sport: This trim adds more equipment than the LX-B and sits in the middle of the range, making it a sensible step if you want a better-equipped CR-V without jumping straight to the EX-L.
• EX-L: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it brings the larger 9-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone connectivity, wireless charging, upgraded audio, leather upholstery, and more convenience features. It also gets front and rear parking sensors.
• Touring Hybrid: This is the top trim and the only hybrid offered in Canada. Choose it if you want the most content 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, so you should confirm the exact equipment on any used example you’re considering.

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 and still find worthwhile options.

• Deal availability: 27.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 933 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.19% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $32,562 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 $32,633 CAD sits slightly below last year's $36,746 CAD.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled enough to give you better buying leverage today, but it also means a future seller may face a softer resale environment than owners saw a year ago. If you buy well now, you may have less downside risk than someone who purchased at the higher average last year. The CR-V’s broad appeal and strong reputation should still help support demand when it is time 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 standard and includes adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, 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, rear-seat reminder system, driver monitoring, traffic sign recognition, and Traffic Jam Assist. Some Canadian B trims omit blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, so you should verify equipment carefully on used examples.

The main caveat is that lane-centring assist can feel uncertain in some highway situations and can add artificial weight to the steering feel.

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:

• 27.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.19% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.71/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It brings a redesigned body, updated infotainment, and new safety features, while also making the hybrid powertrain available in Canada for the first time.

The bottom line: If you want the redesigned CR-V with the latest cabin, safety, and tech updates, the 2023 model is the one to target. If your priority is stretching your budget further, a nearby older year may offer a lower entry price, but you give up some of the redesign’s improvements and updated equipment.
