Consider a Pre-Owned CR-V as Your Next SUV

The family vehicle is a treasured American tradition; from station wagons to minivans and sedans to SUVs, it’s been a staple for almost a century. It partakes in nearly as much of our lives as we do, with school drop-offs and pick-ups, grocery shopping, appointments, sports events, holidays, etc. Where would we be without it?

If you’ve been looking for a new-to-you family vehicle and want to find a used Honda dealership near Henrietta, visit us at Ralph Honda. We have several quality used Hondas that’ll house your family comfortably during short trips to school, the store, and the doctor’s office, as well as longer trips like family vacations or weekend getaways.

Depending on how much room you need, there may be a few Honda models that will appeal to you, but your best bet will be the Honda CR-V. Not only has it received accolades from industry professionals, but it also gets rave reviews from drivers, who enjoy the vehicle’s fuel efficiency, roomy interior, and modern styling. If you’re going to get something the whole family will love, trust us: you want the Honda CR-V. It’s the family vehicle you’ve been dreaming of.

Honda’s five-seater SUV was built with families in mind. Even when pre-owned, the CR-V impresses with its sleek styling, powerful engine, and a plethora of tech and safety features. The 2017 Honda CR-V, for example, comes standard with a fuel-efficient turbocharged four-cylinder engine that nets a fuel economy rating of 28 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on the highway, which means you’ll be saving money and time you can spend somewhere else besides the pump.

The 2017 CR-V was given a refresh by Honda, which means that a CR-V from 2017 or newer is likely to have many of the modern amenities you need and even a few of the luxuries you want, like available adaptive cruise control, the HondaLink infotainment system, and lush seating. You’ll love how roomy the interior feels and how easy it is to load up your luggage, groceries, or the kids’ sports equipment; you can load up, get everyone situated, and hit the road in minutes.

The Honda CR-V was built for families just like yours, so don’t hesitate to try one out; you can request a test drive at Ralph Honda and feel the difference between your old vehicle and what it would be like to take the CR-V home and drive it on a daily basis.

While many SUVs provide adequate space for passengers, their cargo area is deficient for everyone’s luggage, shopping bags, fishing tackle, camping equipment, and other necessities. The Honda CR-V, on the other hand, is the best in its class for cargo volume and luggage space. You get plenty of room to stretch out, and you can fit everyone’s items in the back with room to spare. You’ll be able to bring the gear for your favorite activities, the family pet, and more instead of trying to cram a few bags in the back or piling them onto a passenger’s lap.

You’ll appreciate the comfort of the driver’s seat as well since it provides ample support and plenty of cushioning for those longer drives—and you won’t have to stoop or step up into the CR-V since it sits at just the right height for entry and exit. If you want more room to load up packages and larger items, you can fold the back seats down for even more cargo space. The CR-V is truly a family’s best option for a versatile vehicle; it’s also incredibly safe, with plenty of tech features to keep everyone in the family entertained.

When it comes to safety and tech, Honda knows how to equip a family vehicle. The 2015 Honda CR-V, for example, has side curtain airbags for every outboard seating position, as well as a rollover sensor system, vehicle stability assist with traction control, motion-adaptive electric power steering, three-point seatbelts, a LATCH system for smaller passengers’ car seats and booster seats, hill start assist, and the Honda Sensing safety suite that will help you navigate through busy streets and rush hour traffic. You can rest assured that no matter where you go, you and your family are all protected by a multitude of safety systems.

As far as tech is concerned, the CR-V has always maintained up-to-date tech, like a wide infotainment center and USB ports for charging phones and tablets. Even on older models, like the 2016 Honda CR-V, you’ll get illuminated steering wheel-mounted controls for audio, phone, i-MID, and cruise control. You can switch between episodes of a podcast or songs on a playlist while following the speed limit and taking a call from a family member, friend, or co-worker. With the Honda CR-V, you can enjoy the ease and convenience along with all the comforts of home.

Plenty of people buy used vehicles as their family-dedicated or second-family vehicle. There are advantages to buying used, after all; if you’re looking for something affordable, reliable, and up-to-date on all the latest safety and tech features, the Honda CR-V has it all and more. Even if you buy a CR-V that’s almost ten years old, you get plenty of modern features; you’ll still have an infotainment center, plenty of USB ports, and the latest in safety technology. You won’t have to forego important features just because you’re looking at used vehicles—at least not with a Honda CR-V.

Another reason to buy a used CR-V is if you have young drivers. Honda vehicles are solid, safe vehicles to practice on, and even if your student driver manages to do some damage, your CR-V won’t depreciate as much as if you’d bought a new one; you can relax and allow your student driver to test their knowledge, and know that later on down the road, they’ll likely take over some of the driving responsibilities and will do so safely in the CR-V. Honda vehicles are meant to stay in the family, which means you’ll be able to give your younger driver(s) plenty of time to practice in a vehicle they already love.

Whether you have a daily drive through Henrietta or you live in the surrounding area, Ralph Honda is happy to assist you in getting a used family vehicle. The CR-V is one of the safest, most comfortable, spacious SUVs you’ll see on the market today. It also elevates its status as a family vehicle with modern styling and tech. When you get a chance, drop by and talk to us about getting your own CR-V. We can answer any questions you might have about what we have in stock, which years have the features you want, and what your financing options are.
