Honda CRV 2024: A Used Buyer's Guide for Eastern Ontario
If you searched for Honda CRV 2024 as a used buy, here is the short answer: it can be a smart one, but you buy one vehicle, not a model year. Gas or hybrid, front-wheel or all-wheel drive, recall work and remaining coverage differ from one CR-V to the next.
A used 2024 Honda CR-V may have remaining factory coverage. Confirm the original in-service date, kilometres, VIN and applicable warranty terms before relying on it.
The honest drawback is the recall record: it lists certain 2024 CR-Vs for the steering gearbox and the high-pressure fuel pump, and certain CR-V Hybrids for the tire repair kit.
Carleton Place Ford is a Ford store, not a Honda dealer.
Key Takeaways
In Canada, the 2024 CR-V came with a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder on the LX, Sport and EX-L, and as a hybrid with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder on the EX-L Hybrid and Touring Hybrid.
Only one 2024 trim, the LX with two-wheel drive, was front-wheel drive; the other gas trims and both hybrid trims were all-wheel drive. Confirm the drivetrain, trim and engine on the individual vehicle.
The 2024 CR-V Hybrid is a hybrid, not a plug-in.
Recall records list certain 2024 CR-Vs for the steering gearbox and the high-pressure fuel pump, and certain 2024 CR-V Hybrids for the tire repair kit nozzle. The VIN check tells you which apply.
Remaining factory coverage depends on the individual vehicle's in-service date, kilometres, VIN and warranty terms, not on its model year.
With over 300 used vehicles available, Carleton Place Ford has one of the largest selections in the area.
Start with our used SUVs and bring your questions about the VIN, the drivetrain and the paperwork.
Is a Used Honda CRV 2024 a Smart Buy?
It can be, if you choose the individual vehicle rather than the model year. Within 2024 alone, the CR-V came as a gas model with front-wheel or all-wheel drive or as an all-wheel-drive hybrid, and recall work and remaining coverage vary from one to the next, so the right one is the CR-V whose VIN check and paperwork hold up.
Picture a Carleton Place commuter who drives Highway 7 toward Kanata and Ottawa all year, with a used 2024 CR-V on the list. Does it need all-wheel drive, which recalls apply to its VIN, and what will cold mornings do to its fuel use?
This guide answers each from the vehicle, not the badge: the drivetrain from the trim, the recalls from the VIN, and fuel use from the ratings and their limits.
The drawbacks are real: this model year appears on recalls for certain vehicles that you check by VIN, remaining coverage depends on the individual vehicle, and fuel ratings come from standard tests rather than your commute.
What Trims and Engines Did the 2024 CR-V Have in Canada?
In Canada, the 2024 CR-V came with a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder on the LX, Sport and EX-L, and as a hybrid with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder on the EX-L Hybrid and Touring Hybrid. Honda Canada's 2024 specifications list a continuously variable transmission (CVT) on the gas trims and an electric continuously variable transmission (E-CVT) on the hybrids.
One 2024 gas trim, the LX with two-wheel drive, was front-wheel drive; the other gas trims were all-wheel drive. The 2024 CR-V Hybrid was sold in Canada in two trims, the EX-L Hybrid and the Touring Hybrid, both with all-wheel drive.
Here is the 2024 Canadian lineup by trim, with gas and hybrid on separate rows. LX-B is Honda's printed name for the LX.
2024 trim (Honda's name) | Powertrain | Engine and transmission | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|
LX-B 2WD | Gas | 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder, CVT | Front-wheel drive |
LX-B | Gas | 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder, CVT | All-wheel drive |
Sport | Gas | 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder, CVT | All-wheel drive |
EX-L | Gas | 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder, CVT | All-wheel drive |
EX-L Hybrid | Hybrid | 2.0-litre four-cylinder hybrid, E-CVT | All-wheel drive |
Touring Hybrid | Hybrid | 2.0-litre four-cylinder hybrid, E-CVT | All-wheel drive |
Confirm the drivetrain, trim and engine on the individual vehicle.
Gas or Hybrid: What the Fuel Ratings Say
Natural Resources Canada rates the 2024 CR-V with the gas engine at 8.4 L/100 km city, 7.1 highway and 7.8 combined with front-wheel drive, and 9.1 city, 7.6 highway and 8.4 combined with all-wheel drive. It notes that your fuel consumption will vary from published ratings depending on how, where and when you drive, and lists temperature and weather, using all-wheel drive, and a vehicle's age and condition among the factors.
The same ratings list the 2024 CR-V Hybrid, with all-wheel drive, at 6.0 L/100 km city, 6.9 highway and 6.4 combined. Those ratings are based on standard tests and may not accurately predict the fuel consumption you will get on the road, which will vary with how, where and when you drive, temperature and weather, and the vehicle's age and condition.
The city rating represents urban driving in stop-and-go traffic, and the highway rating a mix of open highway and rural road driving, typical of longer trips.
So match the rating to your week: a town-and-traffic routine leans on the city figure, and a Highway 7 run toward Ottawa leans on the highway figure.
What to Know About the 2024 CR-V Hybrid
The 2024 CR-V Hybrid is a hybrid, not a plug-in. Canada's 2024 fuel consumption guide says hybrids have battery packs charged with electricity generated by the vehicle and can't be plugged in to recharge, and it lists no 2024 CR-V among its plug-in hybrid or battery-electric models.
Honda said both 2024 hybrid trims were built in Alliston, Ontario.
Choosing the hybrid also means choosing all-wheel drive, because both 2024 hybrid trims had it.
If you are still weighing whether a hybrid suits your driving at all, our plug-in hybrid and hybrid comparison walks through how each fits a commute.
Which Recalls List the 2024 CR-V?
Transport Canada lists the 2024 CR-V on recalls covering the steering gearbox and the high-pressure fuel pump, and the 2024 CR-V Hybrid on a recall covering the tire repair kit nozzle. Each covers certain vehicles only, and a model year on a record does not mean every 2024 CR-V is affected.
Ask our team to check the VIN and confirm any open campaigns before you buy.
Whether the CR-V in front of you is a gas model or a hybrid, the VIN check tells you which of these records apply to it.
Steering Gearbox: Recall 2024588
Recall 2024588 lists the 2024 Honda CR-V. On certain vehicles, the steering gearbox may not have been manufactured properly.
As a result, there could be a sudden change in steering feel and an increase in steering effort. A sudden change in steering effort could increase the risk of a crash.
Honda will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to add grease to the steering gearbox and replace the electronic power steering spring.
High-Pressure Fuel Pump: Recall 2024606
Recall 2024606 lists the 2024 Honda CR-V. On certain vehicles, the high-pressure fuel pump may not have been manufactured properly.
As a result, the fuel pump could crack and leak fuel. A fuel leak can create the risk of a fire.
Honda will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the high-pressure fuel pump.
Tire Repair Kit Nozzle, CR-V Hybrid Only: Recall 2026274
Recall 2026274 lists the 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid, not the gas CR-V. On certain vehicles, if the tire repair kit nozzle is not properly attached to the tire valve, pressure could build up in the sealant bottle.
As a result, excessive pressure could cause the bottle cap to detach. If the bottle cap detaches, it could increase the risk of injury.
Honda will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the nozzle on the tire repair kit. If the sealant bottle has been previously used, it will be replaced.
As of October 2026, this list is verified, not exhaustive, and new recalls can be added at any time.
How to Check the 2024 CR-V in Front of You
Work from the vehicle, not the model year: settle gas or hybrid, confirm the drivetrain, check the VIN for open campaigns, read the repair and service history, then the Ontario paperwork, and bring your questions to our team. Each step answers a question the 2024 badge cannot.
1. Gas or hybrid: Match the powertrain to how you drive, using the city and highway ratings above. The hybrid came as the EX-L Hybrid or Touring Hybrid only.
2. Drivetrain: Confirm the drivetrain, trim and engine on the individual vehicle. For 2024, only the LX with two-wheel drive was front-wheel drive.
3. Recalls: Ask our team to check the VIN and confirm any open campaigns before you buy. Honda says the VIN is on a label near where the driver's side door latches.
4. Repair and service history: Ask for the service records and for proof of any recall repair already done.
5. Coverage: A used 2024 Honda CR-V may have remaining factory coverage. Confirm the original in-service date, kilometres, VIN and applicable warranty terms before relying on it.
6. Ontario paperwork: For a vehicle sold with a safety standards certificate, it confirms only that the vehicle met the minimum standard on the date the certificate was issued, and it is not a warranty. Walk when a dealer will not provide the applicable written disclosures before you sign.
7. Our team: Bring your questions about the VIN, the drivetrain and the paperwork to our team, and have your own mechanic look it over too.
The Government of Ontario says that under Ontario law, there is no cooling-off period for motor vehicle contracts, so be sure of your decision before you sign.
Then compare it with other used SUVs before you decide.
What Is Your Current Vehicle Worth as a Trade?
Find out before you shop, because the number changes which CR-Vs are genuinely on your list. At Carleton Place Ford, we take trades of any make, whether it is paid off or not, and we put our appraisal of your trade in writing.
Value your trade online first, then let us appraise it in person. We buy vehicles outright, so an appraisal does not commit you to buying from us.
With your permission, we get the payout from your lender and show it beside our appraisal.
If you owe more than the vehicle is worth, the shortfall may be added to the amount financed, increasing the amount borrowed and potentially the total cost of borrowing. Financing is subject to lender approval (O.A.C.).
You may also cover the difference with money down. Bring the ownership, every key and fob, and any service records.
How Does Financing a Used CR-V Work at Carleton Place Ford?
Apply for financing before you come in if you wish. With your consent, we can review options with participating lenders, on approved credit (O.A.C.).
Approval, rate, term and payment depend on the applicant, lender and vehicle, and a credit-bureau inquiry may be required. If a bruised credit file is the worry, our guide explains what happens when you apply.
Bring a driver's licence and proof of income if requested; lender requirements vary.
