Exploring cars for sale near Smyrna and thinking of getting a Honda SUV? It's a smart choice, given Honda's reputation for longevity and innovation. The SUV category is one in which Honda shines, too, particularly because it makes so many sizes and variants. So when you begin your research, you're going to find that you have a variety of options.
We want to make sure that you understand each of Honda's 2026 SUVs before you start shopping. Getting a look at the highlights and core characteristics of each model will help you narrow down your selection and increase your chances of driving home a Honda SUV you absolutely love.
Honda HR-V
The HR-V is a subcompact model and Honda's smallest SUV. If you need an SUV but want something that drives more like a car because you're coming from a sedan background, the Honda HR-V is your best choice. Here's a quick breakdown of some of its most important figures/stats:
- Starting MSRP: $26,500[a]
- Drivetrain: FWD or AWD
- Engines: 2.0L I-4
- Towing: N/A
- EPA-Estimated MPG: 26 city/32 highway[b]
- Seating capacity: 5
Who Is It For?
Given the HR-V's approachable starting price point and solid fuel economy, we like to recommend this model to shoppers who are watching their spending, both the day they buy their vehicle and when they're at the fuel pump.
As we said before, the HR-V's small dimensions make it just right for those who aren't comfortable handling a big SUV. Those dimensions also make it a smart choice for Smyrna residents who need something that easily fits into small parking spots and zips around congested metropolitan streets.
The HR-V cannot tow, so it won't be right for those who want to take bigger toys along for their adventures. However, with available AWD, it can handle wet roads and easy dirt trails.
Honda CR-V
The CR-V is Honda's compact SUV. Like the HR-V, it has seating for five, but its interior is a bit larger. Let's go over the model's core stats:
- Starting MSRP: $30,920[a]
- Drivetrain: FWD or AWD
- Engines: 1.5L turbocharged I-4 or 2.0L I-4 Hybrid
- Towing: 1,500 lbs
- EPA-Estimated MPG: 43 city/36 highway[c]
- Seating capacity: 5
Who Is It For?
If you want to stay in the small SUV arena but you're an avid road tripper or frequently have rear-seat passengers, the Honda CR-V blends easy-to-drive dimensions with more capabilities than the HR-V. It can even tow a small trailer. Plus, it has an available hybrid powertrain that manages to achieve even better fuel economy than the HR-V.
The 2026 CR-V does sit above that $30,000 threshold, which makes it right for those ready to spend a little more on their SUV. However, by paying slightly more than you would for the HR-V, you do get a lot more, including the towing power, larger interior, and hybrid powertrain option.
Honda Passport
Know you don't need more than five seats, but want those five seats to be as roomy as possible? Check out the Honda Passport, a midsize SUV. It's known for its muscular design, spacious interior, and adventure-ready features. Let's cover its core traits:
- Starting MSRP: $44,950[a]
- Drivetrain: AWD
- Engines: 3.5L V6
- Towing: 5,000 lbs
- EPA-Estimated MPG: 19 city/25 highway[b]
- Seating capacity: 5
Who Is It For?
Given that the 2026 Passport is only available with AWD, it's ideal for Smyrna drivers who expect to spend a lot of time on unpaved roads. So if you do some light off-roading, vacation in a rural area, or need to drive down dirt roads to get to your favorite hiking trails, the Passport is a smart choice.
With 5,000 lbs of towing power, the Passport is also ideal for those who want the freedom to take bigger toys than the CR-V would allow, such as a larger camper, boat, or utility trailer. Its powerful V6 engine also makes it right for those who want more aggressive horsepower figures—useful when you utilize the model's towing abilities.
Honda Pilot
When you know you need three rows of seats, you'll need to step up to the Honda Pilot. It has space for up to eight passengers, making it ideal for families and large friend groups. Here's a look at its important figures:
- Starting MSRP: $42,395[a]
- Drivetrain: FWD or AWD
- Engines: 3.5L V6
- Towing: 5,000 lbs
- EPA-Estimated MPG: 19 city/27 highway[b]
- Seating capacity: 8
Who Is It For?
The Pilot is an interesting model because, even though it's a three-row SUV, it carries the same engine and offers the same towing abilities as the Passport. Meanwhile, it gives drivers the option of FWD or AWD. So if you know you want 5,000 lbs of towing abilities, but you simply need more space in your vehicle, the Pilot is a smart choice.
Since the Pilot is available with AWD, if you want to prioritize fuel efficiency, you have that option. The most important trait, though, is that three-row configuration. You can choose second-row captain's chairs for a seven-seater, or bench seats across both back rows for eight seats. If you're raising a family, the Pilot is worth a look.
Honda Prologue
The Prologue joined the Honda family much later than the other SUVs on this list. It's a BEV midsize SUV, meaning it runs entirely on battery power. If the Passport had your attention thanks to its midsize build, but you've been wanting to go electric, the Prologue could be the SUV for you. Here's a look at its core traits:
- Starting MSRP: $39,900[a]
- Drivetrain: FWD or AWD
- Powertrain: 85 kWh battery with single or dual motors
- Towing: 1,500 lbs
- EPA-Estimated Range: 308 miles[c]
- Seating capacity: 5
Who Is It For?
If you want to drive an electric SUV, you want a Honda, and you only need up to five seats, then you've found your match in the Prologue. Starting at just under $40,000, it's perfect for those who've found other BEVs too expensive. It's also appealing to drivers who like a sleek aesthetic and modern technology.
The Prologue can tow the same amount as the CR-V, so it can handle some small toys. Between its fuel-free nature, towing abilities, and impressive electric range, the Prologue can certainly make a solid road-trip vehicle.
