2019 Honda HR-V

Average Used Price: $18,173

The Honda HR-V is a great choice if you’re looking for a small but practical crossover. The 2019 model year is part of the second generation, but it is post-facelift. This means that it benefits from updated styling as well as electronically assisted steering as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Performance Specifications

Unfortunately, the HR-V’s little engine lets it down a little bit. It is noisy and a little unrefined and doesn’t produce all that much power. However, it is particularly light on fuel, and it feels nice and agile, able to sneak in to small parking spots when needed.

Pros

• Large cargo space
• Plenty of modern tech
• Light on fuel

Cons

• Slow off the line
• Interior is a little bit dull
• Engine gets noisy when you put your foot down

2017 Honda CR-V

Average Used Price: $18,277

The CR-V is easily the most popular Honda SUV, and has been for just about as long as it has been on the road. It perfectly mixes comfort and practicality. The 2017 model year represented the launch of the fifth generation, with a new engine under the hood and a plethora of tech features.

Performance Specifications

While the base models came with the naturally aspirated engine outline above, the 2017 CR-V could also be had with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine that made 190 horsepower instead. It may not be a super exciting SUV to drive, but it is comfortable and responsive.

Pros

• Two excellent engine options
• More spacious than most rivals
• Loads of features for its price

Cons

• Not as quick as some rivals
• Infotainment system is laggy
• Best features reserved for top trims

8

2019 Honda Pilot

Average Used Price: $22,819

If you’re looking for an SUV that can handle a ton of passengers, the three-row Pilot is a strong option. The 2019 model year is part of the third generation, receiving a facelift that helped it compete against more modern options. As well as updated styling, this Pilot comes with an upgraded infotainment system and modern driver assists.

Performance Specifications

Compared to some other options on this list, the Pilot is a veritable powerhouse. It’s V-6 makes it feel plenty quick when you put your foot down. If you go with an LX, EX, or EX-L you’ll get the clumsier six-speed automatic, but opt for the Touring or Elite trims and you’ll get the refined nine-speed.

Pros

• Strong and efficient engine
• Loads of interior space
• Contemporary tech on offer

Cons

• Transmission in base models is unrefined
• Looks like the Odyssey
• Frustrating infotainment system

7

2019 Honda Passport

Average Used Price: $22,948

If you don’t need three rows of seats, and you want something a little more rugged than the Pilot, then the Passport is an excellent alternative. Where it used to essentially be a re-badged Isuzu, the 2019 third-generation Passport is its own machine, and it’s quite good.

Performance Specifications

The Passport uses the same V-6 that you’d find in the 2019 Pilot, but instead of the nine-speed automatic being optional, it is standard equipment. It is comfortable and quiet on the road and features enough of a lift for it to be able to tackle some off-road terrain without too many complaints.

Pros

• Quick off the line
• Great standard safety equipment
• Loads of space for both rows of passengers

Cons

• Slightly old-school styling
• Would benefit from a two-speed transfer case
• Poor infotainment system

6

2020 Honda CR-V

Average Used Price: $24,044

As mentioned, the CR-V is a super versatile choice. The 2020 model year is also from the fifth generation, but it is the facelifted model offering even more value than before. As well as more standard equipment, this is also the first model year that could be had with a hybrid powertrain.

Performance Specifications

Where the turbocharged engine used to be optional, Honda made it standard on all non-hybrid models for 2020. It is quick and has plenty of grunt for highway overtaking. The hybrid model is all-wheel drive only and features a 2.0-liter inline-four, making a combined 212 horsepower.

Pros

• Surprisingly upscale interior
• Loads of cargo space
• Optional hybrid

Cons

• Poor infotainment system
• Not as quick as the RAV4
• Can only tow 1,500 pounds

5

2023 Honda HR-V

Average Used Price: $24,555

If you like the idea of the HR-V, but the previous entry was a little outdated for your tastes, then a slightly used 2023 model may appeal to you more. This is essentially the latest iteration of the subcompact SUV, sporting all the latest technology and some pretty sharp-looking sheetmetal.

Performance Specifications

While Europe gets a hybrid powertrain, the U.S. spec HR-V instead gets the same four-banger that you’d find in the Honda Civic. It isn’t the quickest crossover on the road, but it is impressively light on fuel and offers handling that is better than you’d expect.

Pros

• Well-tuned chassis
• Very comfortable seating
• Fantastic visibility

Cons

• Engine is very underpowered
• Cargo space has been reduced
• CVT saps fun

4

2022 Honda Passport

Average Used Price: $31,080

If you’re looking to buy the newest model year of the passport, then you’re going to have to be willing to drop more than $40,000. However, grab a slightly used 2022 model, and you’ll save yourself almost $10,000. You can even grab the Trailsport model which made its debut for 2022.

Performance Specifications

While many things changed on the Passport for this updated model, Honda carried over its strong V-6 from the outgoing model. This is a good thing in our eyes, because it offers a ton of pep and is better on fuel than you’d expect. Trailsport models also offer some genuine off-road equipment.

Pros

• Tons of space for cargo and passengers
• Quick off the line
• Fantastic suite of safety equipment

Cons

• Bottom trim lacks some desirable features
• Not particularly athletic
• Ride is a bit firm

3

2023 Honda CR-V

Average Used Price: $31,187

The Honda CR-V easily offers the best value for money in the compact SUV segment right now. If you opt for a slightly used model, the average price is pretty close to its current MSRP, which is impressive for a model in such high demand. This new model is also roomier and more refined than before.

Performance Specifications

The 2023 CR-V uses the same powertrain as the outgoing model. It is, however, larger and heavier than before, meaning that it is a little slower off the line than the outgoing model. While not as agile as the segment’s most exciting options, it still offers some fun when thrown around a corner.

Pros

• Great curb appeal
• Very comfortable ride
• Comfortable interior

Cons

• Some rivals handle better
• All-wheel drive is not standard
• Slower than before

2

2024 Honda Prologue

Average Used Price: $36,529

The Prologue is Honda’s attempt to get back into the EV market in North American. It borrows a lot from Chevrolet’s Blazer EV, but does enough to differentiate itself. Electric vehicles depreciate at a somewhat alarming rate, which means that you can get this brand-new model at a ridiculous discount if you’re willing to buy used.

Performance Specifications

The Prologue comes standard with a single electric motor driving the front axle, making 220 horsepower. All-wheel-drive models are also available, outlined above, and offer more power. Every model uses an 85 kWh battery sourced from General Motors, providing some decent range.

Pros

• Competitive range
• Can charge pretty quickly
• Roomy cabin

Cons

• Boring to drive
• Not as quick as competitors
• Lots of Chevy parts are noticeable

1

2023 Honda Pilot

Average Used Price: $39,555

The 2023 model year of the Pilot represents the start of the most current generation. Honda also hasn’t changed much in the two model years that came after, keeping things relatively the same. This means you can get a near-new Pilot and save yourself quite a bit of money in the process.

Performance Specifications

Honda increased the output of the V-6 under the hood by a humble five horsepower for this updated model. They also decided to get rid of the nine-speed automatic in favor of a smoother 10-speed. While it doesn’t feel quicker, it feels more responsive than it did before.

Pros

• Fantastic V-6
• Trailsport model is pretty capable
• Very family-friendly

Cons

• Fuel economy in the city is poor
• Base trims get a dinky infotainment screen
• The Odyssey might be better
