Explore the Different Honda SUV Sizes

2026 Honda CR-V e:FCEV in Platinum White Pearl Color
 

Trying to figure out which Honda SUV is the right size for your life? Whether you want the smallest, most efficient option for getting around Freehold or you need the biggest Honda SUV to fit the whole family plus all their gear, Honda Universe has every model in stock and ready for a test drive in Lakewood. This guide breaks down all five 2026 Honda SUVs by size — from the subcompact HR-V to the three-row Pilot — so you can compare dimensions, cargo space, and seating capacity side by side and walk in knowing exactly what you want.

Honda’s 2026 SUV lineup spans five distinct models, each occupying a different size class. The HR-V is the most compact at just under 180 inches long — nimble enough for tight parking in Toms River yet roomy enough for daily errands with five passengers. The CR-V steps up to compact territory with noticeably more cargo room and an available hybrid powertrain. The Passport and Pilot anchor the midsize tier: the Passport is a rugged two-row SUV with class-topping towing among Honda SUVs, while the Pilot stretches to nearly 200 inches and seats up to eight, making it the largest Honda SUV in the lineup. Rounding things out is the all-electric Prologue, which pairs a midsize footprint with an impressive 308-mile EPA range rating* and Honda’s longest SUV wheelbase. Read on for full specs on each model, then check the comparison table to see how they all line up at a glance.

2026 Honda HR-V — Subcompact SUV

The 2026 Honda HR-V is the smallest SUV in Honda’s lineup and the right pick for drivers in Jackson who want easy maneuverability without giving up a comfortable, five-passenger cabin. At 179.8 inches long, it slips into tight parking spaces other SUVs can’t match, but don’t let the compact footprint fool you — the Magic Seat® rear seating system lets you fold the second row in multiple configurations, opening up to 55.1 cubic feet of flexible cargo space. All HR-V trims come standard with Honda Sensing®, which includes Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), Road Departure Mitigation, Lane Keeping Assist System, and Adaptive Cruise Control. The HR-V LX 2WD is EPA-rated at 26 mpg city / 32 mpg hwy / 28 mpg combined (LX 2WD CVT).†

Spec 2026 Honda HR-V
Overall Length 179.8 in
Width 72.4 in

Max Cargo (seats folded) 55.1 cu ft*

The HR-V is the ideal choice if city-friendly size tops your priority list. Its Magic Seat® system folds nearly flat, giving you one of the most flexible cargo areas in the subcompact class. Explore Honda HR-V inventory at Honda Universe.

2026 Honda CR-V — Compact SUV

The 2026 Honda CR-V is a well-established compact SUV with a strong track record for reliability, practicality, and resale value. At 184.8 inches long — about five inches longer than the HR-V — it offers significantly more interior space: 103.5 cubic feet of passenger volume, 39.3 cubic feet of cargo behind the second row, and 76.5 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. The 8.2 inches of ground clearance makes it a capable all-weather commuter for drivers traveling between Lakewood and Freehold. Honda Sensing® is standard across all trims, and AWD is available on every CR-V configuration. The base LX FWD is EPA-rated at 28 mpg city / 33 mpg hwy (LX 2WD CVT).†

If you want improved efficiency, the 2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid is EPA-rated at 43 mpg city / 36 mpg hwy (Sport FWD)†† in the same exterior footprint — with just a modest reduction in max cargo space (71.8 cu ft vs. 76.5 cu ft for the gas model). Both versions seat five and include Honda Sensing® as standard equipment.

Spec 2026 Honda CR-V 2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid

Max Cargo (seats folded) 76.5 cu ft* 71.8 cu ft*
Max Towing Capacity 1,500 lbs* 1,000 lbs*

 

The CR-V lands in that sweet spot between compact and midsize — big enough for families and weekend gear, small enough to navigate Toms River without stress. The Hybrid version is the efficiency-forward choice for high-mileage commuters. See Honda CR-V inventory or browse CR-V Hybrid models at Honda Universe.

2026 Honda Passport — Midsize Two-Row SUV

The 2026 Honda Passport is the rugged two-row choice in Honda’s midsize tier. At 191.5 inches long and 79.4 inches wide, it’s a noticeably larger and more commanding vehicle than the CR-V. The Passport’s 5,000-lb towing capacity is the highest in the two-row Honda SUV lineup, and its 8.3 inches of ground clearance backs up its outdoor-ready character. With 44.0 cubic feet of cargo behind the second row — expanding to 83.2 cubic feet with seats folded — it hauls more than any other two-row Honda SUV when the rear seats are in use. Honda Sensing® is standard on every 2026 Passport trim.

Spec 2026 Honda Passport
Overall Length 191.5 in
Width 79.4 in
Height 73.1 in
Wheelbase 113.6 in
Ground Clearance 8.3 in
Seating Capacity 5
Passenger Volume 115.4 cu ft*
Cargo Behind 2nd Row 44.0 cu ft*
Max Cargo (seats folded) 83.2 cu ft*
Max Towing Capacity 5,000 lbs*

 

The Passport is built for drivers who want real capability without the length of a three-row SUV. Its 5,000-lb tow rating handles boats, campers, and cargo trailers, and the TrailSport trim adds rugged tuning and all-terrain tires. If you don’t need a third row but want maximum cargo and towing muscle from a Honda SUV, the Passport makes a strong case. Shop Honda Passport inventory at Honda Universe.

2026 Honda Pilot — Honda’s Three-Row SUV (Largest in the Lineup)

The 2026 Honda Pilot is the largest Honda SUV you can buy, measuring 199.9 inches long with a 113.8-inch wheelbase. It’s the longest and most spacious model in the lineup, offering seating for up to eight passengers across three rows. Families traveling from Lakewood to Freehold or Jackson will find the Pilot’s 158.4 cubic feet of passenger volume provides genuine comfort in all three rows. Behind the third row, there’s 18.6 cubic feet for bags and sports equipment; fold the second and third rows flat and that number expands to 111.8 cubic feet. The Pilot also matches the Passport’s 5,000-lb towing capacity. Like all 2026 Honda SUVs, every Pilot trim includes Honda Sensing® as standard equipment.

Spec 2026 Honda Pilot
Overall Length 199.9 in
Width 78.5 in

Whether you’re loading up for a shore trip or running carpools around Toms River, the Pilot handles it all. Browse Honda Pilot models at Honda Universe.

2026 Honda Prologue — Midsize All-Electric SUV

The 2026 Honda Prologue is Honda’s all-electric midsize SUV — and it holds a unique place in the size comparison. At 192.0 inches long with a 121.8-inch wheelbase, it carries Honda’s longest SUV wheelbase in the 2026 lineup, which translates to a notably roomy rear-seat experience for five passengers. The Prologue’s 85 kWh battery delivers a 308-mile EPA range rating,* and there’s no gas engine, no tailpipe. With up to 57.7 cubic feet of max cargo space, it handles everything from Lakewood commutes to day trips across New Jersey without a charge stop. Honda Sensing® is standard on every 2026 Prologue trim.

Spec 2026 Honda Prologue
Overall Length 192.0 in
Width 78.3 in
Height 64.7 in
Wheelbase 121.8 in
Ground Clearance 7.8 in
Seating Capacity 5
Passenger Volume 136.9 cu ft*
Cargo Behind 2nd Row 25.2 cu ft*
Max Cargo (seats folded) 57.7 cu ft*
EPA Range Rating 308 miles*
Battery Capacity 85 kWh
Max Towing Capacity 1,500 lbs (AWD)*

 

Keep in mind that while the Prologue’s exterior length is similar to the Passport, its max cargo figures are lower — the battery pack underneath the floor does trade some cargo volume. But for five-passenger households in Freehold or Jackson who want a zero-emissions daily driver with a full-size SUV feel, the Prologue delivers.

Honda SUV Size FAQ

What is the biggest Honda SUV?

The biggest Honda SUV is the Honda Pilot. It measures 199.9 inches long, seats up to eight passengers across three rows, and offers up to 111.8 cubic feet of cargo space with the second and third rows folded. Compared to every other Honda SUV in the 2026 lineup, the Pilot is the longest overall and offers the most passenger volume at 158.4 cubic feet.*

What is the largest Honda SUV if I need three rows?

The Honda Pilot is the only Honda SUV with a third row of seating. It seats seven or eight passengers and is the only model in Honda’s lineup designed for three-row family travel. All other 2026 Honda SUVs — HR-V, CR-V, Passport, and Prologue — are two-row, five-passenger vehicles.

Which Honda SUV is the smallest?

The Honda HR-V is the smallest Honda SUV at 179.8 inches long and 72.4 inches wide. It’s a subcompact crossover designed for maneuverability, with a footprint that makes parking easy in urban and suburban environments while still providing five-passenger seating and 55.1 cubic feet of max cargo space.*

Which Honda SUV has the most cargo space?

The Honda Pilot offers the most maximum cargo space at 111.8 cubic feet with the second and third rows folded.* Among two-row Honda SUVs, the Passport leads with 83.2 cubic feet maximum and 44.0 cubic feet behind the second row* — more usable everyday cargo space than any other two-row Honda SUV.

Which Honda SUV has the highest towing capacity?

The Honda Passport and Honda Pilot are both rated at 5,000 lbs maximum towing capacity* (properly equipped). The gas CR-V is rated at 1,500 lbs,* the CR-V Hybrid at 1,000 lbs,* and the Prologue at 1,500 lbs (AWD).* The HR-V is not rated for towing. If towing a boat, camper, or trailer is a priority, the Passport or Pilot are the right choices in Honda’s 2026 SUV lineup.

How do Honda SUV sizes compare: HR-V vs. CR-V vs. Passport vs. Pilot?

From smallest to largest by overall length: the HR-V (179.8 in) is the subcompact entry point; the CR-V (184.8 in) adds significant cargo and passenger volume; the Passport (191.5 in) moves into midsize two-row territory with 5,000-lb towing; and the Pilot (199.9 in) is the full three-row flagship. The Prologue (192.0 in) sits between Passport and Pilot in overall length but represents Honda’s all-electric option rather than a direct gas-engine size comparison.

Does Honda make an electric SUV?

Yes — the Honda Prologue is Honda’s all-electric midsize SUV, with a 308-mile EPA range rating* (85 kWh battery). It seats five passengers and measures 192.0 inches long with a 121.8-inch wheelbase. The Prologue is available in both FWD and AWD configurations. Honda also offers the CR-V Hybrid for drivers who want improved fuel economy with a conventional hybrid powertrain.

Which Honda SUV is right for me?

It depends on your priorities: choose the HR-V for city-friendly size; the CR-V or CR-V Hybrid for the balance of space, features, and fuel economy; the Passport if you need maximum two-row cargo and serious towing; the Pilot if you need three rows and the most passenger and cargo space Honda offers; or the Prologue if you’re ready to go fully electric.
