Used Honda HR-V in Oklahoma City: which model years to look at

Most Oklahoma City buyers looking at a used Honda HR-V are choosing between two groups of model years: 2016 to 2022, and 2023 and newer. For most of them, a 2020 to 2022 car is the best buy when budget is the limit, and a 2023 or newer car is the better buy when the larger redesigned cabin matters more.

Keep reading below, then schedule a test drive in Oklahoma City. Bringing your own numbers to the lot settles this faster than any spec sheet.

Which used Honda HR-V years should an Oklahoma City buyer look at?

Look at 2020 to 2022 first for value and updated technology, and look at 2023 or newer if the budget allows the larger redesigned HR-V. At Bob Howard Honda on North Kelley Avenue, we are rated 4.5 on Google across 4,311 reviews, and we sell used and certified pre-owned Hondas, so you can test drive both groups of years on one visit.

The two groups differ in age and in the design of the car, so check the year, trim and drivetrain on each one.

Used stock changes, so check the year, trim and drivetrain on each car rather than the range alone.

What changed on the Honda HR-V from 2020 to 2022?

The 2020 to 2022 HR-V is the value range. It is the earlier first generation, with updated styling and infotainment.

Honda’s published 2026 figures show what a current HR-V offers. On the EX-L and LX in both drivetrains, and on the Sport AWD, a buyer gets five seats, 41.9 inches of legroom in row one, 37.7 inches in row two, and 24.4 cubic feet of cargo behind row two. The maximum cargo figure on those trims is 55.1 cubic feet.

Read those as 2026 model year figures, and check the size of any older car on the lot against them. A buyer who puts price and a recent interior first will find the 2020 to 2022 years fit that need.

What does a 2023 or newer Honda HR-V add over earlier years?

Honda’s 2026 model year figures show the room in the current HR-V. The EX-L and LX in both drivetrains, and the Sport in both drivetrains, carry 41.9 inches of row-one legroom, 37.7 inches in row two, 24.4 cubic feet behind row two and 55.1 cubic feet at maximum.

For a family that hauls strollers, sports gear or luggage, the 2026 model year’s 55.1 cubic feet maximum is the number to weigh against the price. Whether that extra room is worth a higher price depends on how many people ride in the car most days.

Should an Oklahoma City driver choose all-wheel drive on a used HR-V?

All-wheel drive gives added grip on wet and icy roads, so it is the drivetrain to pick if your drive takes you onto those roads often. Front-wheel drive suits a buyer who mostly drives on dry roads and wants better mileage and a lower price.

The mileage gap is small. On the 2026 HR-V, the EPA certified the all-wheel drive at 27 miles per gallon combined and the front-wheel drive at 28, so the cost of all-wheel drive is one mile per gallon.

The price gap is larger. Honda’s published starting MSRP for the new 2026 EX-L is $30,350 for the front-wheel drive and $31,850 for the all-wheel drive, a $1,500 step on the new car (Honda, 2026 model year).

Oklahoma City commutes are short. The average Oklahoma City worker’s trip to work takes 22.2 minutes (US Census Bureau QuickFacts, 2020-2024 ACS five-year estimates), and for a route on dry pavement, front-wheel drive is the practical fit.

Which used HR-V features are worth paying for in Oklahoma City?

Apple CarPlay, heated seats and Honda Sensing vary by trim and model year, so the trim on the listing decides more than the year does. Seating does not separate the trims: Honda’s 2026 figures list five seats on the EX-L, LX and Sport in both drivetrains.

Start with the trim on the car in front of you, then check the feature list for that trim. A car with the features you use every day is worth more to you than one with a newer year and fewer of them.

If a feature matters for your commute, such as a phone display or heated seats for winter mornings, write it on your list before you visit so you can check it car by car.

Frequently asked questions

Is a certified pre-owned HR-V worth it over a regular used one?

The answer depends on the car in front of you, so start with the model year and trim. We offer used car specials and models priced under $15K.

How do I get pre-approved for a used HR-V?

Start the pre-approval on our secure online finance page before you visit. Bring the result to the store, and we will go over the rest of the purchase with you there.

Can I trade in my current car when buying a used HR-V?

That figure can go into the payment calculator as the trade-in amount.

What should I ask for on an out-the-door quote for a used HR-V?

Ask for every tax and fee written out, not only the price. For a used vehicle, Oklahoma’s motor vehicle excise tax is $20 on the first $1,500 of value plus 3.25% of the rest, and a 1.25% sales tax sits on top of it (Oklahoma Statutes, Title 68, Sections 2103 and 1355(2), 2026). The sales tax is due within thirty days of purchase, and interest runs after that day (Oklahoma Tax Commission, OAC 710:60-6-1(a), 2018).
