Used Honda HR-V: the years to buy and the years to skip
Every Honda HR-V from 2016 to 2025, across 2 generations: what each year typically sells for (about $16,000 to $27,500), its crash rating, and whether it's a year to target or skip. The best bets are 2016–2022, 2024–2025. Look harder at or skip 2023.
2023–2025 Honda HR-V
A larger, more grown-up small SUV based on the Civic, with a smoother ride and nicer interior.
Years to target: 2024–2025. Look harder at or skip: 2023. It has a strong reliability record.
| Year | Typical price | Verdict | Crash rating | Typical miles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | $24,500 | Look harder | 5 of 5 | ~40,000 |
| 2024 | $26,000 | Target | 5 of 5 | ~30,000 |
| 2025 | $27,500 | Target | 5 of 5 | ~20,000 |
Worth knowing
- 2023: owner complaints spike (686, mostly the visibility and wipers).
- The 2.0-liter four is still slow, and the clever Magic Seat of the previous model is gone.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for the Sport: it adds blind-spot monitoring, alloy wheels and keyless entry over the LX. Step up to the EX-L for leather, heated seats, a sunroof and wireless CarPlay.
On the test drive
Ask whether the CVT fluid has been changed, and feel for shudder or hesitation when pulling away. Get a pre-purchase inspection and a vehicle history report before you buy.
Safety tech
- Automatic emergency braking: standard from the start of this generation (2023).
- Adaptive cruise control: standard from the start of this generation (2023).
- Blind-spot monitoring: not standard in this generation, so check the listing.
