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: 2024 is inside Bestest's 2021-2024 window, and not a CR-V year Bestest rejects.
Trim and powertrain: Sport (hybrid). No CR-V trim or powertrain is on Bestest's exclusions list.
Miles: 10,818 or about 3,800 a year. That's under Bestest's limits of 50,000 miles and 12,000 a year.
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 Irvine Auto Center: 22 more Bestest-approved compact SUVs at Norm Reeves Honda Superstore Irvine, AutoNation Toyota Irvine and 6 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 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport for sale in Irvine is HondaTrue Certified, so its powertrain warranty is good until around September 2030 or another 89,000 miles, and its bumper-to-bumper coverage runs until around September 2028.

In addition, it has 10,818 miles, far fewer than the roughly 30,000 on a typical used 2024 CR-V listed in Orange County.

The Sport is the most popular used CR-V Hybrid trim in Orange County. This Sport has all-wheel drive and the 204-hp two-motor hybrid, a pairing the EPA rates at 37 mpg combined. At 1,000 miles a month, that's about $45 a month less in gas than an all-wheel-drive gas CR-V, which the EPA rates at 29 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 Hybrid

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 Hybrid 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 this one at 37 mpg combined against 29 for an all-wheel-drive gas CR-V, so at 1,000 miles a month the hybrid saves about $45 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. Jason Allan, Bestest's founder, says the hybrid is the one to buy.

The Sport sits a step above the EX in the CR-V lineup. Over the EX it adds:

2.0L Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder two-motor hybrid system (204 hp combined)
Leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter
18-inch Berlina black alloy wheels
Black roof rails
Dual chrome exhaust finishers
Sport exterior styling
Sport interior styling

It carries forward the EX's Honda Sensing driver-assistance suite, Blind Spot Information System, Cross Traffic Monitor, 7-inch touchscreen, 240-watt, 6-speaker audio system, and heated front seats.

The 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid is the second year of the sixth-generation CR-V, and for 2024 Honda added a Sport-L trim between the Sport and the Sport Touring. Every 2024 CR-V Hybrid pairs a 2.0-liter engine with two electric motors for 204 hp. The EPA rates the 2024 CR-V Hybrid at 40 mpg combined with front-wheel drive and 37 mpg with all-wheel drive, against 29 mpg for an all-wheel-drive gas CR-V.
