The 2021 Honda CR-V sits at a median of $26,991 in the Canadian market right now. Most of what's out there lands between $25,722 and $28,642. That's a tight band, which tells you the market has settled on what this model year is worth. If you're seeing an asking price above $28,600, you've got room to push back or keep looking.
The typical car at this price has about 87,417 km on it. That number matters when you're reading a listing, because a CR-V with well below 87,000 km can justify a premium, and one pushing past 100,000 should come in under the median. Anything asking top-of-range money with high kilometres is worth a hard second look.
What mileage does to the price
Every extra 10,000 km knocks roughly $352 off the price. So a CR-V at 120,000 km versus one at 90,000 km is a difference of about $1,050 in fair value, all else equal. It's a steady, predictable slide rather than a cliff, which means you can do the math on any listing yourself: start from the median, adjust for how far the odometer sits from 87,000 km, and you've got a number to negotiate against.
The trims spread out about as you'd expect. The LX runs a median of $25,896 and stays under $26,371 for most listings, making it the value pick if you don't need the extras. The Sport sits right at the overall median, $26,991. The EX-L is the top of the stack at $27,995, and it can run up to $30,438, so you're paying a real premium there. Whether that jump is worth it comes down to how much you want the leather and the loaded features.
