This Bestest-approved 2024 Honda CR-V EX-L for sale in Irvine is HondaTrue Certified, so its powertrain warranty is good until around November 2030 or another 81,000 miles, and its bumper-to-bumper coverage runs until around November 2028.

In addition, it has 18,901 miles, far fewer than the roughly 30,000 on a typical used 2024 CR-V listed in Orange County.

The EX-L is the most popular used CR-V trim in Orange County. 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. 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 HondaTrue Certified worth it?

Yes, and it's cheap. HondaTrue Certified, Honda's certified pre-owned program, adds two years of bumper-to-bumper coverage after the factory 3-year/36,000-mile warranty ends (up to 100,000 total miles), and extends powertrain coverage, for the engine, hybrid system and transmission, from 5 years or 60,000 miles to 7 years or 100,000 miles from the first sale. That is two extra years of bumper-to-bumper coverage and two extra years on the powertrain. In Orange County, a certified used CR-V usually lists for well under $1,000 more than a non-certified one, miles and trim being equal. Both warranties transfer to you in full.

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.

The EX-L sits in the upper half of the CR-V lineup. It adds leather-trimmed seats, a 9-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an 8-speaker audio system, front and rear parking sensors, a power tailgate with programmable height, a 15-watt wireless phone charger, and memory settings for the driver's seat. It carries forward the EX's 190-hp 1.5-liter turbo engine and CVT, heated front seats, power moonroof, dual-zone climate control, remote start, blind-spot monitoring, and the Honda Sensing safety suite.

The 2024 Honda CR-V is the second year of the sixth-generation CR-V, and the gas lineup carries over as the LX, EX and EX-L; the one trim added for 2024, the Sport-L, is a hybrid. Every gas 2024 CR-V has a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine making 190 hp with a continuously variable transmission. The EPA rates the 2024 CR-V at 30 mpg combined with front-wheel drive and 29 mpg with all-wheel drive.
