This Bestest-approved 2024 Honda CR-V EX for sale in Santa Ana has 24,130 miles, a little under the roughly 30,000 on a typical used 2024 CR-V listed in Orange County, and likely has about 2 years or 36,000 miles left on its original powertrain warranty.
This EX 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 November 2023, so Honda's 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty is probably done, but the 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty, covering the engine and transmission, should run until around November 2028 or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first, and it transfers to you in full. 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
Is the CR-V Hybrid worth it?
A used 2024 CR-V Hybrid lists for about $3,500 more than a gas 2024 CR-V in Orange County. The EPA rates a front-wheel-drive CR-V Hybrid at 40 mpg combined against this one's 30, so at 1,000 miles a month the hybrid saves about $50 a month in gas, and you're likely to get a big chunk of that $3,500 back when you sell, because used hybrids hold their value better than their gas twins. Most buyers recoup the extra cost well inside five years. The CR-V Hybrid is also the more satisfying CR-V to drive, with smoother, stronger acceleration.
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.
