Honda CR-V: New, Used, or Certified Pre-Owned?

Since its debut in 1977, Honda’s CR-V line has been a massive success. Adopting all of the perks of a full-size SUV while seamlessly integrating them into a compact crossover design has proven to be fortuitous for Honda and with each passing year they become more desired. However, with so many years of Honda producing the CR-V lineup, there are loads of used and certified pre-owned CR-Vs that still have plenty of life left in them at reduced prices when compared to the new models. With Honda’s reputation for manufacturing incredibly reliable vehicles, it is to no surprise that prior years' models are still a hot commodity but should you buy a used or a certified pre- owned? This article will provide clarity to this topic by comparing the all-new 2025 Honda CR-V with its available predecessors.

The All- New 2025 Honda CR-V

Everyone is quite aware of the advantages of being a brand-new vehicle. Whether it's being the sole owner, the warranties, or that amazing new car smell, starting a new chapter with a new car is exciting. Another thing that excites me is the 2025 Honda CR-V. This highly capable SUV has been designed to dominate the terrain, promote ideal efficiency, and is equipped with state-of-the-art technology that keeps you connected and confident wherever the wind takes you. The 2025 Honda CR-V will be offered in six unique trims consisting of three gas-only trims and three hybrid options. 

Enjoy a turbocharged 1.5L engine in the gas-powered trims that produce an exciting 190 horsepower or a 2.0L engine with a hybrid motor and eCVT that pumps out 204 total horsepower. Additionally, the 2025 CR-Vs are the definition of peak efficiency with the gas-powered trims earning a combined average of 30 miles per gallon and the hybrid trims earning a combined average of 40 miles per gallon. 

The 2025 Honda CR-V will open with an MSRP of $30,100 and can be paired with a few warranty options.
