Honda Passport
2024 Honda HR-V
Features and Dimensions
Let us begin with the most compact of the lineup, the Honda HR-V. While the smallest among the lineup, the 2024 Honda HR-V comes as a highly beneficial choice among younger drivers looking for something a step up from the average sedan or hatchback. The 2024 Honda HR-V features 24.4 cubic feet of cargo volume, with a total of 55.1 cubic feet available with the rear seatbacks folded down.
Powertrain
The 2023 Honda HR-V also begins at a lower standard price than the others as the smallest SUV from the Honda brand. Its standard inline four-cylinder (I4) engine generates 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft torque @ 4200 rpm. As with all other Honda SUVs, the 2024 Honda HR-V offers Real Time All-Wheel-Drive available on all trims.
2023 Honda CR-V
Features and Dimensions
You probably recognize the 2023 Honda CR-V as this represents the quintessential Honda crossover SUV, with lots of popularity among family drivers. Like the Honda HR-V, the CR-V seats five comfortably with a total passenger volume of 103.5 cubic feet. The cargo space of the 2023 Honda CR-V also provides a bit more space with 39.3 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 76.5 cubic feet behind the front seats. The 2023 Honda CR-V's back seats have the 60/40 split-folding configuration, with easy collapsing abilities. The new 2023 Honda CR-V, 2023 Honda Passport, and 2023 Honda Pilot all offer Honda Sensing® driver-assist applications standard on all trim levels, including:
- Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS)
- Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM)
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow
- Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Powertrain
Three Honda CR-V SUV models offer the same turbocharged I4 among their trim levels, which generates 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque. All Honda CR-V models come available with all-wheel drive, but a key difference in this SUV comes from its new hybrid powertrain on the Sport Hybrid and the Sport Touring Hybrid, delivering exceptional fuel economy and robust power in the city as well as out on the highway.
2023 Honda Pilot
Features and Dimensions
If you seek the largest, non-minivan Honda car, then we encourage you to test drive the 2023 Honda Pilot, which can seat eight passengers with a passenger volume of up to 158.4. Pop the trunk, and you will find up to 21.8 total cubic feet of cargo space behind the third-row, up to 59.5 cubic feet behind the second-row, and up to 113.7 cubic feet in total behind the first-row seats. The 60/40 third-row bench seating can fold flat and the 2023 Honda Pilot even comes available with one-touch second-row seats for quick accessibility. Certain trims of the Pilot offer customers the choice of a seven-seat SUV with second-row captain's chairs that free up more cargo space and breathing room for the back seats.
Powertrain and Capability
The 2023 Honda Pilot comes with the same 3.5L 280-horsepower V6 engine underneath the hood as the 2023 Honda Passport, as well as the same available Intelligent Variable Torque Management™ (i-VTM4®) AWD with Intelligent Traction Management settings. Just like the 2023 Honda Passport, the 2023 Honda Pilot can tow up to 3,500 lbs. with 2WD and up to 5,000 lbs. with AWD. If you plan on taking a camping trip out to West Hartford Reservoir near Farmington, with a camper in tow, this SUV might prove advantageous for you and your family.
2023 Honda Passport

When adventure calls in the great outdoors outside Bristol, the 2023 Honda Passport provides you with something necessary to answer the call! The 2023 Passport comes modeled after the Honda Pilot, as a slightly smaller version of this SUV, seating five passengers.

Underneath the hood of the new 2023 Honda Passport, you will find all trims equipped with a 280-horsepower V6 engine, which generates 262 pound-feet of torque.

Which Honda SUV is Right for You?
The right Honda SUV for you all depends on your individual needs. If you need something powerful and capable, then you might enjoy the versatility of the Honda Passport, but the Honda Pilot can give shoppers the same amount of power with ample seating for their family. However, if you do not need as much capability, then the Honda CR-V or Honda HR-V present more mild-mannered choices, with comfortable drives anyone can enjoy.
