Certified Pre-owned Honda HR-V For Sale
Plaza Honda keeps HondaTrue Certified HR-Vs on the lot at 2740 Nostrand Avenue, often low-mileage cars coming back off lease. Certification turns the one thing worth checking on a used HR-V into coverage you simply have.
What a certified HR-V gets you
A certified HR-V is HondaTrue, Honda's own factory-backed program, so the coverage comes from the manufacturer rather than the dealer. Every one clears a 182-point inspection by factory-trained technicians and starts with a clean history, no salvage, flood, or odometer problems. The headline is a 7-year / 100,000-mile powertrain warranty from the car's original in-service date, with a $0 deductible, plus extended bumper-to-bumper coverage on top. Since the HR-V's one used-market question is the CVT, that powertrain warranty is exactly the coverage that answers it.

The two certified tiers, compared
| Tier | Typical vehicle | Inspection | Powertrain warranty | Added bumper-to-bumper |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HondaTrue Certified+ | Current or previous model year, under 12,000 miles — effectively near-new | 182-point | 7 years / 100,000 miles | Up to 5 years / 86,000 miles |
| HondaTrue Certified | Roughly the last five model years, over 12 months / 12,000 miles and under 80,000 miles | 182-point | 7 years / 100,000 miles | 2 years added on the original limited warranty, or up to 100,000 miles |
The car decides the tier, not you: a near-new, low-mileage HR-V lands in Certified+, while an older or higher-mileage one that still clears the bar is Certified. Both carry the same 7-year / 100,000-mile powertrain coverage from the in-service date, a real extension past the original 5-year / 60,000-mile Honda powertrain warranty. Most certified HR-Vs are the current, larger second-generation car; ask which tier a specific one qualifies for and we will show you the coverage in writing.
Why certified is the easy call on an HR-V. On a regular used HR-V, the smart-buyer homework is verifying the CVT's service history and condition. A certified HR-V has already passed the 182-point inspection and carries the 7-year / 100,000-mile powertrain warranty, so the transmission question is covered rather than checklisted. And two things you never have to think about on this model: the engine is naturally aspirated, so there is no turbo oil-dilution concern, and there is no hybrid battery to age. It is about as straightforward as a certified vehicle gets.
Certified versus a regular used HR-V
Both sit on the same lot, and the choice comes down to how long you plan to keep the car. A regular used HR-V is the lower price up front, backed by our own inspection and reconditioning. A certified HR-V usually runs on the order of a thousand dollars more, and for that step you add the manufacturer's inspection, the extended powertrain and bumper-to-bumper coverage, roadside assistance, and $0-deductible repairs. Keeping the car a few years, certified tends to pay for itself the first time a covered repair comes up. We will put comparable cars side by side and show you the gap.
What makes it work here
Beyond the coverage, a certified HR-V hits a useful middle ground for the city: roomier and more capable than a sedan, but small enough to park on the street and slot into most garages. Available all-wheel drive, common on certified lease returns, is the winter confidence no Honda sedan offers, the higher seating helps you see over double-parked cars, and it holds strollers, groceries, and airport runs with ease. Honda Sensing is standard. One honest note: like any SUV, the HR-V is taller than a sedan, so if you park in a garage, measure the clearance bar before you buy.
Certified HR-V or CR-V?
If you want more room, more power, or a hybrid, step up to a certified CR-V, which offers all three and returns close to 40 mpg in hybrid form. The HR-V wins on price and city parking; the CR-V wins on space, pace, and efficiency. Both certify under the same HondaTrue program, so you get identical warranty terms either way, drive them back to back before you decide.

Frequently asked questions
What does a certified pre-owned HR-V cover?
A 182-point inspection, a clean history, and a 7-year / 100,000-mile powertrain warranty from the original in-service date with a $0 deductible, plus extended bumper-to-bumper coverage, 24-hour roadside assistance, and a 3-day / 300-mile exchange policy. Exact terms are confirmed on the specific car.
Does certification cover the HR-V's CVT?
Yes, in effect. The CVT is part of the powertrain, so it falls under the 7-year / 100,000-mile powertrain warranty, and every certified HR-V passes the 182-point inspection with any applicable service bulletins addressed. That turns the one thing worth checking on a used HR-V into coverage you simply have.
Does the certified HR-V have any turbo or hybrid concerns?
No. The HR-V's engine is naturally aspirated, so there is no turbo oil-dilution concern, and there is no hybrid version, so no high-voltage battery to age. Between that and the certified inspection and warranty, it is one of the most straightforward certified vehicles to buy.
Do certified HR-Vs come with all-wheel drive?
Often. Certified cars are frequently low-mileage lease returns, and many HR-Vs are ordered with Real Time AWD, so all-wheel-drive certified examples are common. If winter traction is your priority, ask us to show you the certified AWD HR-Vs on the lot.
What is the difference between HondaTrue Certified and Certified+?
Certified+ is the top tier, for near-new HR-Vs from the current or previous model year with under 12,000 miles. Certified covers older or higher-mileage cars, roughly the last five model years and under 80,000 miles, that still clear the inspection. Both carry the same 7-year / 100,000-mile powertrain warranty; the bumper-to-bumper terms differ.
Is a certified HR-V worth it over a regular used one?
The certified upcharge is often around a thousand dollars, and for that you add the 182-point inspection, the extended powertrain and bumper-to-bumper warranties, roadside assistance, and $0-deductible repairs. On the HR-V it mainly buys certainty around the CVT. If you are keeping the car a few years, it usually pays for itself.
When does the certified warranty start?
The powertrain coverage is measured from the car's original in-service date, meaning when it was first sold new, not the day you buy it. A certified HR-V that is a couple of years old still leaves you with several years of powertrain protection.
Can I trade in my current car and finance a certified HR-V?
Yes to both. You can get pre-approved before you visit, and we will appraise your current car whether or not you buy from us. A current trade often covers the step from a used HR-V up to a certified one.
