Used Honda CR-V for Sale

Honda introduced the CR-V, a compact crossover SUV, into the U.S. market in 1997. Blending a crossover body design with a Honda Civic platform, the CR-V has evolved to become one of the most popular crossovers on the market.

2017–2019 – (5th Generation)

The fifth-generation Honda CR-V features the same compact global platform as the tenth-generation Civic, making the vehicle a bit larger and giving it a slightly more aggressive appearance than earlier models. The latest CR-V has sharp lines, LED tail lamps and headlamps, a wide overall stance, dual exhausts, a longer wheelbase and hood and short overhangs. Compared to the previous generation, this CR-V is one inch taller and 1.5 inches longer with a wheelbase that’s been extended by 1.6 inches, creating more room in the cabin for increased storage space and a more comfortable fit.

There are four trim levels available: LX, EX, EX-L and Touring. The LX trim contains the same 2.4-liter engine as the previous generation, but the other trim levels come with a new 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. Front-wheel drive is standard, but you can upgrade to all-wheel drive. The EX trim adds features including Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, heated front seats, satellite radio, a moonroof and a touchscreen infotainment system. The EX-L trim comes with leather seats and built-in navigation.

2012-2016 (4th Generation)

Powered by a 2.4-liter i-VTEC inline-four cylinder engine, the fourth generation CR-V made 185 horsepower and 163 pound-feet of torque at 4,400 rpm. It was available in standard front-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive and all fourth-generation CR-Vs (until the 2015 model) have a five-speed automatic transmission.

For the 2015 model year, Honda introduced a continuously variable transmission (CVT), along with an improved suspension, superior handling and better sound insulation. The enhanced structure helped provide better protection in the event of a crash, and the anti-roll bars, suspension shock absorbers and lower control arms give the car a better feel during turns and while driving over speed bumps.

The 103.1-inch wheelbase is the same size as the third generation, and this vehicle seats five people. Expect approximately 24 to 27 miles per gallon in the city and 32 to 35 miles per gallon on the highway, depending on the model year and transmission type.

2007-2011 (3rd Generation)

The exterior of this vehicle had a new horizontal slat-style chrome grille, redesigned taillights, redesigned front and rear bumpers and 17-inch, five-spoke alloy rims on the EX-L and EX trim levels. Previous models had a side-opening rear door with a spare tire mounted on it, but Honda removed the spare tire from the door and changed the door design to a rear liftgate.

The interior contains a new seat fabric, plus wider armrests for the driver and front passenger seats. Honda changed the layout of the audio controls and switched the gauge color from black to blue. The EX-L trim includes a USB audio input with an optional navigation system with Bluetooth functionality. The 2011 model has 17-inch seven-spoke alloy rims along with a six-disc CD changer.

The 2.4-liter inline-four cylinder engine offers 166 horsepower and 161 pound-feet of torque at 4,200 rpm. There is no manual transmission available for the car, and it features a front-wheel-drive. The 2010 and 2011 models have a 180-horsepower engine and standard a front-wheel drive and optional four-wheel-drive. All model years in this generation seat up to five people.

2002-2006 (2nd Generation)

The second-generation CR-V was a complete redesign from its predecessor. Honda used the same platform as the seventh-generation Civic, giving the CR-V notable improvements to the chassis and suspension. From 2002 to 2004 there were only minor changes, but Honda refreshed the CR-V in 2005. The automaker replaced the old 15-inch wheels with 16-inch wheels and gave the vehicle new taillights and headlights with separate bulbs for low beams and high beams. Honda upgraded the interior and added audio controls to the steering wheel, an outside temperature monitor and the new stereo system supported XM satellite radio. Honda also added an SE trim for the 2015 model, which offers heated side mirrors and front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and leather seating for a luxurious feel.

The second-generation CR-V came with a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic. In the 2005 and 2006 models, the automatic transmission switched to a five-speed unit. Featuring a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, this car produced 156 horsepower and 160 pound-feet of torque.

1997-2001 (1st Generation)

When this car was first introduced, it only had one trim level—the LX. It came standard with a 2.0-liter inline-four cylinder engine that made 126 horsepower and 133 pound-feet of torque. The exterior had a black plastic grille and the interior featured fold-down rear seats and a picnic table stashed in the floor area. The EX trim came out in 1998 and added 15-inch alloy wheels, anti-lock brakes, and the choice of all-wheel or front-wheel drive. Honda released an SE edition in 2000, featuring body-colored bumpers, a CD-and-cassette player, leather upholstery, chrome grille accents and a navigation system.

The 1999 to 2001 models received an upgraded 2.0-liter engine, which offered 147 horsepower and 133 pound-feet of torque. Even though the engine had more power, it still achieved 23 miles-per-gallon in the city and 28 miles-per-gallon on the highway thanks to a new intake manifold and higher compression ratio.
