Of the 299 used CR-Vs for sale in Orange County on Nov. 2, 2026, only 41 are on Bestest.

How this one made the cut

Model: The CR-V is one of seven Bestest-approved compact SUVs. (Six compact SUVs don't appear on Bestest.)
Year: 2021 is inside Bestest's 2021-2024 window, and not a CR-V year Bestest rejects.
Trim and powertrain: EX-L (gas). No CR-V trim or powertrain is on Bestest's exclusions list.

Dealer: One of Orange County's 10 Bestest-approved Honda franchise dealers.

The rest are too old or too new, have too many miles, or sit at independent lots or flagged dealers. How Bestest picks every car

Also at the Buena Park Auto Center: 11 more Bestest-approved compact SUVs at Buena Park Honda, AutoNation Toyota Buena Park and 2 other dealers. All at the same auto center as this CR-V, so you can see and drive them back to back.

See them all

This Bestest-approved 2021 Honda CR-V EX-L for sale in Buena Park has 28,256 miles.

This EX-L has front-wheel drive and the 190-hp 1.5-liter turbo four-cylinder, a pairing the EPA rates at 30 mpg combined.

Listing history suggests this CR-V was first sold in September 2021, so Honda's 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty are both probably done. When you check availability, we'll also email you a link to the free Carfax vehicle history report (when available), which includes the exact in-service date and how much warranty is left.

Questions shoppers ask about this CR-V

Do I need all-wheel drive in Orange County?

Front-wheel drive is all most Orange County drivers need. But all-wheel drive adds only about $500 to a used CR-V's price in Orange County, and costs about 1 mpg. AWD is at its best on slick roads, but even in Orange County it can deliver more confident acceleration pulling into traffic. So if a car has the color, trim and miles you want, don't let either answer stop you. If you head to Big Bear or Mammoth in winter, carry chains either way.

The EX-L sits a step below the top-spec Touring in the CR-V lineup. It adds leather-trimmed seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, driver's seat memory settings, 4-way power adjustment for the front passenger seat, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and the HomeLink remote system. It carries forward the EX's power moonroof, heated front seats, 12-way power driver's seat with lumbar support, blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert, LED fog lights, dual-zone automatic climate control, and the Honda Sensing safety suite.

The 2021 Honda CR-V is the fifth year of the fifth-generation CR-V, which ran from 2017 through 2022, and Honda made no significant changes for 2021. Every 2021 CR-V has a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine making 190 hp with a continuously variable transmission, and a Special Edition trim sits between the LX and the EX. The EPA rates the 2021 CR-V at 30 mpg combined with front-wheel drive and 29 mpg with all-wheel drive.
