Choosing a Honda SUV begins with a simple question: what does the vehicle need to accomplish every day? For one driver, the answer may be an easy commute through Moncton with occasional weekend luggage. For another, it may involve three rows of seating, a trailer or regular travel beyond paved roads. The 2027 Honda SUV lineup addresses these needs with five distinct models: the HR-V, CR-V, Passport, Pilot and fully electric Prologue.
Each one reflects familiar Honda priorities, including practical interiors, intuitive technology and driver-assistance systems. The differences are found in their dimensions, passenger capacity, powertrains and intended uses.

Honda HR-V: Compact Dimensions with Useful Space
The HR-V is the smallest SUV in the Honda range, but it makes efficient use of its dimensions. It seats five and provides up to 1,559 litres of cargo capacity with the rear seat folded. That combination works well for commuting, shopping, carrying sports equipment and weekend travel while remaining easy to position in tighter parking spaces.
Every HR-V uses a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine producing 158 hp and 138 lb-ft of torque, paired with a continuously variable transmission. Front-wheel drive is offered on the LX, while Real Time AWD is available and comes standard on Sport and EX-L models. Combined fuel consumption is rated at 8.3 L/100 km with front-wheel drive and 8.7 L/100 km with all-wheel drive.
The HR-V is a strong match for:
- Daily driving in Moncton, Dieppe or Riverview
- Individuals, couples and smaller families
- Buyers who want available all-wheel drive in a compact format
- Drivers moving from a car into their first SUV
Honda CR-V: The Centre of the Lineup
The CR-V adds passenger room, cargo flexibility and a choice between gas and hybrid power. Gas models use a turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder that develops 190 hp and 179 lb-ft. Hybrid versions combine a 2.0-litre Atkinson-cycle engine with two electric motors for 204 hp and 247 lb-ft.
That hybrid system gives the CR-V stronger torque as well as combined fuel consumption as low as 6.4 L/100 km with Real Time AWD. The gas-powered CR-V can achieve a combined rating as low as 7.8 L/100 km with front-wheel drive.
The range includes LX 2WD, LX AWD, Sport, Sport Hybrid, TrailSport Hybrid, EX-L Hybrid and Touring Hybrid. Every version receives a 9-inch touchscreen. The TrailSport Hybrid adds all-terrain tires and a more rugged presentation, while the Touring Hybrid emphasizes comfort, connectivity and premium equipment.
Honda Passport: Built Around Adventure
The Passport is a midsize SUV for drivers who want two spacious rows and a generous area for equipment. A 3.5-litre V6 produces 285 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque, working through a 10-speed automatic transmission and standard i-VTM4 all-wheel drive.
Its 210 mm of ground clearance, seven selectable drive modes and maximum towing capacity of 2,268 kg make the Passport especially relevant for camping, cottage travel and recreational towing. Available Honda TrailWatch camera views can also help the driver see obstacles while travelling through more challenging terrain.
Honda Pilot: Three Rows Without Giving Up Capability
The Pilot is the family-space leader. Depending on the version, it accommodates seven or eight occupants. Certain models include a removable second-row middle seat that can be stored in the cargo area, making it possible to change the passenger layout as needs evolve.
The Pilot uses a 285-hp V6, a 10-speed automatic transmission and i-VTM4 all-wheel drive. It can tow up to 2,268 kg when properly equipped. Its appeal comes from combining that capability with a foldable third row, available hands-free power tailgate and family-oriented comfort features.
Honda Prologue: The Electric Alternative
The Prologue brings battery-electric driving to the Honda SUV range. Its dual-motor all-wheel-drive configuration produces immediate, smooth response while maintaining a spacious five-passenger cabin. EX, EX-L and Touring versions allow buyers to select the desired balance of equipment and premium comfort.
Home charging can cover routine daily travel, while public fast-charging stations support longer trips. For households ready to move away from gasoline without leaving the practicality of a midsize SUV, the Prologue is the natural destination.
There is no single Honda SUV intended for every buyer. The HR-V prioritizes manoeuvrability, the CR-V offers the widest balance of qualities, the Passport supports active travel, the Pilot maximizes passenger flexibility and the Prologue introduces electric driving. Comparing them at Century Moncton Honda is the best way to see how each cabin, cargo area and driving position fits your routine.
