What Does Honda's Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Cover?

Honda offers two levels of certification for its certified pre-owned vehicles: HondaTrue Certified and HondaTrue Certified+. Both levels come with a seven-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, roadside assistance, up to two oil changes within the first year of ownership and a 90-day satellite radio trial subscription.

The vehicle’s model year determines which program and repair coverage it qualifies for. HondaTrue Certified covers vehicles from the 2018 through 2023 model years and with fewer than 80,000 miles. For vehicles still under the new-car warranty, Honda extends coverage to four years from the original sale date or 48,000 miles. For vehicles outside the new-car warranty, Honda offers a one-year/12,000-mile limited warranty. HondaTrue Certified+ is for 2022 and 2023 models with fewer than 12,000 miles. For these vehicles, Honda extends the new-car warranty to five years from the original sale date or 86,000 miles. Additional benefits may be available. 

According to our analysis, Honda’s CPO program is one of the best among affordable carmakers, besting competitors such as Toyota, Hyundai, Chevy and Ford.

Not every used Honda will qualify for a certified pre-owned warranty. However, there are options available if you want additional coverage after the manufacturer’s warranty has expired.

2019 Honda Accord Versus the Competition

Which Is Better: 2019 Honda Accord or 2019 Toyota Camry?

The 2019 Toyota Camry ranks above the Accord in our midsize car rankings because of the Camry’s higher predicted reliability rating. Still, both of these vehicles are great choices. Their similarities include quality cabin materials, excellent safety scores, and comfortable seating. The Camry is a little more fun to drive than the Accord thanks to its slightly better handling. Its two engine choices each put out more horsepower than the Accord's options, and fuel economy is marginally better in the Camry as well. On the other hand, the Accord has a larger trunk, and it offers Android Auto, which you can't find in the Camry.

Which Is Better: 2019 Honda Accord or 2019 Honda Civic?

The 2019 Honda Civic is a compact car that's a pretty good pick in its own right. The Civic comes in coupe, sedan, and hatchback models, as well as the sporty Si and performance-oriented Type R trims. The Civic has a lower base starting price than the Accord, but the Civic's multiple body styles and trims provide a wide range of prices. The Civic and Accord have comparable passenger accommodations, features, and handling, but the Accord has a slightly better safety score. Buy the Accord if you want a comfortable sedan. Pick the Civic if you're looking for a lower-priced vehicle or want access to various body types and performance options.
