There is a Honda at almost every budget. Asking prices across our UAE listings run from AED 9,000 to AED 209,900: compare within one year and the range makes sense — among 2018 cars a CR-V went for AED 36,000, a Civic AED 41,000, an Accord AED 52,000 and a Pilot AED 60,000.
Solidly, and near the top of the mainstream group: Hondas average about 49% of their value after five years across the models we can measure. The small cars are the firmest part of it, because demand for a cheap commuter here never dries up.
The electrics are the best part of the story: only 8% of the more than 2,500 Hondas we have inspected in the UAE carry an electrical or electronics fault, against the 13% we would expect for cars of the same age and mileage in this market. Bodywork is the other side: three in four show evidence of previous panel or paint repair, against the 63% we would expect on that basis. That is what city traffic does to a car over a median 131,000 km, and it is a history rather than a defect.
The Civic at AED 41,000 for a 2018 is the one to buy if the car is for you: cheapest to run, quickest to sell. The Accord is the same idea with a bigger back seat. The CR-V at AED 36,000 for a 2018 is the family crossover that holds up best, and the Pilot the three-row answer when five seats stop being enough.
