New or certified pre-owned Honda CR-V in Tulsa: which fits?
Buy new if you want a lease option and the choice of current CR-V trims. Buy certified pre-owned if you want a used CR-V sold with inspection, reconditioning and certification costs already included in the advertised price.

Who should buy a new CR-V and who should buy certified pre-owned in Tulsa?
Buy a new CR-V if you want Honda’s published new-vehicle warranty and the choice of current trims, including the Hybrid. Buy a certified pre-owned CR-V if you want a used CR-V that comes with a downloadable HondaTrue inspection report and the maker’s certified warranty. Leasing points to a new CR-V, while a pre-owned loan points to a certified one.
Every HondaTrue vehicle here comes with an inspection report you can download. Honda’s 2026 CR-V carries a 3-year or 36,000-mile basic warranty, a 5-year or 60,000-mile powertrain warranty, and 5-year corrosion coverage with no mileage limit.
What does a new CR-V cost next to a certified one at South Pointe Honda?
Our certified pre-owned CR-Vs are advertised at a single price. Inspection, reconditioning and certification costs are included in that price and are not charged separately. The gap between the two prices is the figure that decides this for most buyers.
Starting prices for the 2026 CR-V run from $30,920 for the LX (2WD) to $42,550 for the Sport Touring Hybrid (AWD), according to Honda’s published 2026 pricing. The lowest-priced CR-V Hybrid is the Sport Hybrid (2WD) at $35,630. Set a certified CR-V’s advertised price against those starting figures for the same trim level, and the difference is what you are weighing.
South Pointe Honda sells new Honda models including the CR-V, Accord, Civic, HR-V, Passport, Pilot, Prologue, Prelude, Odyssey and Ridgeline.
What warranty comes with a new CR-V and with a certified pre-owned one?
A new 2026 CR-V carries Honda’s basic warranty of 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. Its powertrain warranty runs 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first, and corrosion coverage runs 5 years with no mileage limit.
HondaTrue Certified covers 2021 to 2026 vehicles with under 80,000 miles and adds powertrain coverage of 7 years or 100,000 miles plus non-powertrain coverage for 2 additional years or up to 100,000 miles, with a $0 deductible on covered repairs (Honda Certified Pre-Owned, 2026).
The separate HondaTrue Used tier is for Honda vehicles 10 years old or newer from their original In-Service Date at the time of sale. They come with 6 months or 10,000 miles of Limited Powertrain and Limited Non-Powertrain coverage, Honda Care Roadside Assistance for 1 year or 12,000 miles, and 1 complimentary oil change. Covered repairs carry a $0 deductible (Honda Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Booklet, 2026).
Can you lease a new CR-V or finance a certified one at South Pointe Honda?
Oklahoma’s tax on the purchase is a separate cost that applies whichever route you take.
For a new CR-V you can lease or finance, and for a certified one you can take a pre-owned loan. Leases usually run two to three years and finish with a turn-in, a new lease, a buyout, or an extension. There is an online finance application labeled “Apply for Financing” and “Apply Now,” hosted on acceleride.southpointehonda.com.
Oklahoma charges a motor vehicle excise tax of 3.25% of the value of a new vehicle. For a used vehicle it is $20 on the first $1,500 of value plus 3.25% of the rest. On top of that sits a sales tax of 1.25% of the price, figured on the difference between the trade-in’s value and the sales price where there is a trade-in. Motor vehicle sales are not subject to city or county sales taxes (Oklahoma Statutes, Title 68, Sections 2103 and 1355(2), 2026).
What EPA fuel economy does a new Honda CR-V or CR-V Hybrid get?
Honda publishes EPA fuel economy for the CR-V and the CR-V Hybrid by trim, and the Hybrid’s figures are listed separately from the gas model’s. Compare the city, highway and combined numbers for the model year you are considering.
For the 2026 CR-V, the FWD gasoline model is rated 28 city, 33 highway and 30 combined. The AWD gasoline model is rated 27 city, 31 highway and 29 combined, and the AWD hybrid is rated 40 city, 34 highway and 37 combined (EPA, fueleconomy.gov, 2021 to 2025 Honda CR-V).
Hybrid fuel economy is the reason many Tulsa drivers pick the Hybrid.
What do you get for your money with a new or certified CR-V in Tulsa?
Use this table to line up the new and certified routes on the same points.
| Route | Warranty | Price basis | Inspection |
|---|---|---|---|
| New 2026 CR-V | 3 years or 36,000 miles basic; 5 years or 60,000 miles powertrain | Starting MSRP from $30,920 (LX 2WD) | Factory new |
| HondaTrue certified CR-V | Honda Certified Pre-Owned coverage, including 7 years or 100,000 miles powertrain | Advertised price includes inspection, reconditioning and certification | Downloadable inspection report for all HondaTrue vehicles |
A new CR-V gives you the full factory warranty and the choice of current trims. A certified CR-V gives you the same maker-backed coverage on a used vehicle, at a single advertised price with the inspection report included.
When is a new CR-V the wrong choice, and when is a certified one?
A new CR-V makes sense when you want the current model year, a lease, or the Hybrid’s EPA ratings on a new vehicle. A certified pre-owned CR-V makes sense when you want a used price with the inspection report and HondaTrue coverage already in place.
If you want a CR-V with the 2WD LX trim as your starting point, the new 2026 model begins at $30,920. Pick the route that matches the payment and coverage you want, and bring your model and trim list when you visit.
