Should I buy a used Honda HR-V now or wait for the next model?

• Starting price: Trim levels for the 2026 Honda HR-V include LX, Sport, and EX-L, and pricing in Canada ranges from $33,446 CAD to $41,846 CAD.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
