The Honda CR-V holds the top rankings in the compact crossover SUV segment because it has an upscale and spacious interior with comfortable seats, an excellent reliability rating, and stylish one-size-fits-all packaging. Having received a major refresh last year, the 2011 CR-V model goes on sale with no major change, apart from the introduction of an SE trim level that slots in between the LX and EX. All 2011 CR-V trim levels have a single powertrain option - a 180-horsepower four-cylinder engine and a five-speed automatic transmission with either front-wheel or all-wheel-drive. This Honda SUV has a stable ride, and it feels faster than it actually is. If outright power isn't the CR-V's strength, it offers agile handling and an EPA combined gas mileage of 24 mpg. The 2011 CR-V remains the market’s best-selling crossover, apart from a few loose threads.
2011 Honda CR-V For Sale
The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for a 2011 Honda CR-V LX with two-wheel drive starts just under $22,000, while the EX trim begins at under $25,000. A fully-loaded EX-L is the most popular choice that tops out at around $30,000. Moreover, if you are looking to own the Honda CR-V for more than five years, buying a used car is better than leasing a new CR-V as it can be unaffordable. Based on the used car listings, the 2011 CR-V goes on sale at prices ranging from about $9,000 to roughly $16,000. The average price paid revolves around $12,400, depending on the vehicle's condition, mileage, features, and location.
2011 Honda CR-V Buying Advice
The 2011 CR-V is the last of the third-generation model as Honda completely redesigned the CR-V for 2012, and later for the 2017 model year. Used compact SUV shoppers can consider a 2012 CR-V that adds many standard features like a rearview camera and Bluetooth for a little more money.
