FAQs
What are the best Honda SUVs?
The compact CR-V has been one of the benchmarks in the SUV segment, but it shines even brighter in hybrid guise. This gives it a bump in power but also significantly improved fuel economy that reduces the overall cost of ownership. However, this does require sacrificing some of the vehicle’s class-leading cargo space.
What is the price of a new Honda SUV?
Almost every model in the range would be considered cheap for what it offers in return. This starts with the smallest model, the HR-V, which will cost you around $25,000. The CR-V is closer to $30k, while the hybrid variant slightly exceeds that mark. The larger Pilot asks for around $35,000, while the Passport goes for a little over $40k despite being slightly smaller.
Is there a Honda SUV with 3-row seating?
Yes. The Honda Pilot midsize SUV comes with a third-row bench, which can accommodate two children comfortably. This makes it suitable for 7 passengers in total, though you could squeeze in an eighth in a pinch.
Are Honda SUVs good for off-roading?
While every model in the range gets access to AWD, only a select few, like the Pilot, actually feel competent when venturing off the beaten path. Even so, the adventurous midsize SUV can only do so much with the ground clearance and traction it has access to.
RISE TO THE CHALLENGE
Tough terrain? Easy. Wintry weather? No sweat. See how Honda SUVs and trucks can help you take on bigger adventures.
Intelligent All‑Wheel‑Drive Systems
Honda all-wheel-drive systems are designed to effortlessly tackle bad weather, rough terrain and big jobs, channeling available power where and when you need it most. And expanded AWD capabilities are on the way with the upcoming TrailSport editions.
How All‑Wheel Drive Works
All-wheel drive helps you power through challenging conditions by using an array of sensors and other inputs.
Honda offers two different all-wheel-drive systems: Real Time AWD™ and intelligent Variable Torque Management™ (i-VTM4®). Both can deliver instantaneous power to the rear wheels to enhance overall stability, and the i-VTM4 system adds torque vectoring for greater side-to-side control.

How Torque Vectoring Works
The i-VTM4® system helps enhance stability on muddy, wet and icy roads, and can even improve dry-weather handling. It uses a pair of clutch packs—one for each rear wheel—that can be engaged separately, allowing variable amounts of torque to be sent to each rear wheel independently. If one rear wheel loses traction, the other helps compensate. The system also distributes torque to the outside rear wheel when turning, to help the Passport, Pilot and Ridgeline smoothly carve through corners.
Intelligent Traction Management
When road conditions change, just push the Intelligent Traction Management button to optimize for the terrain. Two-wheel drive trims on the Passport and Pilot include Snow mode, while all-wheel-drive trims add Mud and Sand modes. The Ridgeline, with all-wheel drive standard, gets all three. Each mode adjusts throttle, shifting, torque distribution and Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) for the unique challenges of the terrain.
