2017-2022 Honda CR-V (5th gen)
The fifth-generation CR-V is the sensible counterweight to the RAV4: nearly as bulletproof, slightly cheaper used, and with a roomier rear seat and cargo hold that families notice immediately.
Read the product overview
It is the car for a buyer who wants a no-surprises crossover and is willing to pay a small reliability premium for it. The one caveat that defines this generation is the 1.5-liter turbo engine in 2017-2018 cars, which had early oil-dilution complaints in cold climates; the 2019-2022 examples are the safer pick and worth targeting. Like most SUVs, used prices here resist winter softening better than sedans, so the seasonal dip is shallow and a patient buyer gains less by waiting than they would on a Sonata or K5.

How we assess prices
We use in-stock offers checked within 72 hours. Scores compare the current offer with that retailer’s observations from the last 90 days, requiring at least 14 observed days and a price from about 30 days ago. Suspect records withhold the score. Retailer conditions and prices can change.
