The full lineup of Honda SUVs at your local Montana Honda Dealers gives drivers options on availa ble cargo space, all-wheel drive ability, hybrid engines, and even entertainment features. We offer a wide range of Honda SUV models and trims to fit any lifestyle and budget. 

Let's take a closer look at some of the most popular Honda SUVs to see which one is the best fit for you. 

Honda CR-V & Honda HR-V

The all-new 2024 CR-V is a versatile midsize SUV offering reliable performance, comfortable cargo space, and fuel-efficient hybrid trims. Drivers interested in taking extended road trips with the entire family or a load of camping gear should take a look at any of the six available trim options. 

The Sport Hybrid trim of the CR-V averages 43 MPG in the city and 36 MPG while on the highways*. If motorists opt for all-wheel drive, the improved handling will have a slight effect on recorded gas mileage. 

The fully loaded Sport Touring Hybrid features 19-inch alloy wheels, a premium sound system, a 4-mode drive system, and signature leather seats with orange stitching for an even better driving experience. 

For drivers interested in a smaller SUV option, the 2024 HR-V provides all-wheel-drive handling protected by advanced Honda Sensing safety features. The compact SUV still features comfortable seating for five and three distinct trim options including the LX, Sport, and EX-L. 

The HR-V LX, in particular, offers adventurers in Montana the dependable Honda engineering and technology they expect at an affordable price. Our team is always happy to show drivers the distinct value behind each HR-V trim level. 

Honda Pilot & Passport

The Honda Passport gives drivers an exciting 280 HP engine at the touch of their foot. Passport models also deliver slightly more cargo space than the midsize CR-V. 

All three passport trims including the EX-L, TrailSport, and Elite are known for their power and performance backed by a 9-speed automatic transmission. Passport models do tend to have a lower MPG than the more compact CR-Vs and HR-Vs averaging 24 MPG** on the highway. 

Honda’s largest SUV, the Pilot, gives drivers more cargo space and slightly better gas mileage than the Passport. 

The 2023 Pilot LX holds comfortable seating for 8 while averaging 27 MPG*** on the highway. While the Passport is typically the better option for exploring rugged terrains, both models have extremely similar performance ratings. The Pilot is just a much larger SUV and features six different trim options for complete customization.
