Sell-or-hold analysis
The CR-V EX has been the cleanest residual performer in the compact crossover segment for the trailing 24 months. The 60-day band below shows whether that stability continues into 2026 or softens with broader segment pressure.
EX trim sits at the volume sweet spot — well-equipped enough that buyers don't actively seek up-trim to EX-L, cheap enough that lease-return inventory carries it. That positioning produces tight pricing dispersion and predictable residuals.

Hybrid has held 4-6% better residual through 2025-2026. The hybrid premium at new was about $1,500-$2,000; at used resale the premium has held steady, which is unusual — most hybrid premiums narrow over time.
Among CR-V, RAV4, and Tucson at matched mileage, the CR-V EX has been the strongest 12-month residual performer. RAV4 LE has been close but typically 1-2 percentage points behind. Tucson SE has trailed by 4-6 points.
AWD has held roughly 4-6% better residual at matched mileage. In Snow Belt regions the premium is wider; in Sun Belt the gap narrows. Selling AWD across regions is generally easier than selling FWD across regions.
