Which Model From Honda’s 2026 Lineup Is Right for You?
SUVs are the most popular vehicles on the road today, appealing to a diverse range of drivers. Families love SUVs for their spacious seating and safety features.

Of course, off-roaders and adventurers love the sturdy structure and AWD that allow them to pursue their recreational activities.

Today, we’re breaking down the SUVs that Honda builds and explaining their advantages. If you’re in the market for an SUV offering more, it’s time to visit us and take a test drive.
2026 Honda HR-V
One thing that’s changed about SUVs for the better is their scaled-down size. It makes them agile in the city and favorable in fuel economy. The 2026 Honda HR-V, a subcompact model, is a great choice for first-time buyers or practical commuters. Its starting MSRP of just $26,200 makes it affordable for any income.[a]
The HR-V is powered by a 2.0L four-cylinder engine that produces 158 hp and 138 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), making it ideal for city commuting. FWD models achieve remarkable fuel economy, with an EPA-estimated 26 MPG in the city, 32 MPG on the highway, and 28 MPG combined.[b] AWD is available for those who like the occasional off-roading jaunt. AWD doesn’t hinder economy, with models achieving an EPA-estimated 25 MPG in the city and 30 MPG on the highway, for 27 MPG combined.[b]
Despite being a subcompact SUV, the HR-V is still packed with practical features that many SUV owners enjoy. The HR-V offers up to 55.1 cu.ft of available storage space. Families can also stay safe and connected with a nine-inch infotainment screen and many safety features included with the Honda Sensing suite.
2026 Honda CR-V
The Honda CR-V has been a part of the Honda fleet since the early 1990s. The compact SUV played a pivotal role in the early years of the SUV boom period, proving that smaller designs could be implemented on a large scale and used by families as their primary method of transportation. The 2026 CR-V, now in its sixth generation, is a versatile option that aunty drivers will love.
The CR-V is available in two powertrains: a 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder and a 2.0L hybrid variant. Both engines offer remarkable advantages when it comes to performance and fuel economy. The base engine offers an EPA-estimated 30 MPG combined in FWD models and facilitates a tow rating of 1,500 lbs, which is ideal for drivers who are fond of recreational activities.[c]
The hybrid version of the CR-V is a suitable option for drivers who prioritize fuel economy. FWD models achieve an EPA-estimated 43 MPG in the city, a remarkable advantage for any SUV.[c] Honda’s hybrid engine also provides exhilarating performance with 204 hp. All CR-V models have the same connectivity and safety features as the HR-V. An available 76.5 cu.ft. of storage makes the CR-V a highly capable hauler, whether a trip to the grocery store or a move across town.
2026 Honda Passport
Due to their size, the Honda HR-V and CR-V are ideally suited for growing families who spend a significant amount of time in the city. From its formative years to the modern era, many off-roaders and adventurers have found the SUV class to be favorable in facilitating their activities on the path less traveled. The 2026 Honda Passport is ideally suited for these individuals.
The Passport is Honda’s midsize, off-road-ready offering that gives adventurers a competitive edge. The SUV features a 3.5L V6 engine that produces 285 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with a ten-speed automatic transmission for optimal performance. The Passport is an AWD-exclusive vehicle, meaning it’s off-road-ready from when it comes off the assembly line.
While catering to the adventurer who loves traversing terrains, the Passport also offers the pragmatic items the SUV class is known for. A 12.3-inch infotainment screen, the largest of all of Honda’s SUVs, makes staying connected easy. Storage is never an issue, especially with 83.8 cu.ft. of available storage. The Passport is highly versatile in other areas, giving drivers a 5,000-lb towing capacity when properly equipped.
2026 Honda Prologue
It seems only yesterday when the SUV class entered an exciting new phase—electrification. All electric SUVs, or EVs (electric vehicles), give drivers the seating, storage, and safety they love with the ability to bypass the pump. The newest addition to Honda’s SUV fleet, the Prologue offers performance and electric range, making it an exceptional alternative to gas-powered SUVs.
The 2026 Honda Prologue has two available electric powertrains, one built for range and the other catering to performance. FWD models get an 85 kWh single-motor that delivers 220 hp, and the AWD model offers 300 hp with its dual-motor setup. While we don’t have the official EPA numbers for the 2026 model just yet, looking at the 2025 model offers some insight into the new variant’s range, as both share the same configurations. The previous model could achieve an EPA-estimated range of 308 miles, which is quite impressive.[d]
The Prologue includes many features that SUVs are known for. 57.7 cu.ft. of available space and an 11.3-inch infotainment system join the SUV’s all-electric performance as items that are too enticing to pass on. The Prologue is an excellent choice for any driver wanting to go electric.
2026 Honda Pilot
While compact and subcompact SUVs have gained widespread popularity, the need for larger options with three rows of seating remains. Full-sized families need all the room they can get. The Honda Pilot, the brand’s three-row offering, gives families everything they could ask for in one convenient package.
The Pilot has the same V6 engine as the Passport and matches its towing capability. Depending on your preference, the Pilot can be equipped with either FWD or AWD. Families who love adventures can opt for the Trailsport edition, which includes AWD and other off-road-ready implementations.
All trims of the Pilot have a broad range of safety features that families look for. Thanks to an available nine-inch infotainment system, you’ll have no trouble keeping younger and shorter passengers entertained on the road. Storage is crucial for any family road trip, and over 87 available cu.ft. of storage allows you to take it all with you wherever you go.

Choosing the right 2026 Honda SUV can give you what you need for the road ahead, whether you’re looking for something small and agile like the CR-V or HR-V or an adventure-ready option like the Passport.
