2021 Honda CR-V value

By Hari Vinayak · Updated 2026-06-12

Quick answer

A 2021 Honda CR-V in good condition with average mileage (about 62,500 miles) is worth roughly $16,700 in a private-party sale — a fair range of $15,350 to $18,050, or about $19,200 at a dealer. 2021 is not on our years-to-avoid list, so condition, history, and maintenance matter more than the model year here.

What to check before you pay

  • 2017–2019 1.5T: oil dilution (gas in oil) — check for the software update, oil records, and any fuel smell on the dipstick
  • AWD rear differential: groaning on tight turns means overdue fluid — cheap fix, good negotiation point
  • 2012–2016: vibration complaints at idle on some cars; otherwise very solid
