What the numbers say

A 2021 Honda CR-V still asks 59% of what a 2026 one does — that's how much value it holds after 5 years. Among 87 suvs we price, that ranks #17, above the 47% class median. The steepest single-year drop comes at year 4 (−16.9%), after which losses ease to about 8.7% a year. Mileage costs it 46%: the same car reads 100k–150k instead of Under 40k miles. Calculated from 1,879 listings.
