What Makes the Honda HR-V Stand Out for Everyday Driving?
The Honda HR-V might be the smallest SUV in the lineup, but it's built a really solid reputation over the past few years. Heading into 2026, it continues to be recognized in the Parents Best Family Cars Awards as a top compact SUV for families, while also building on IIHS Top Safety Pick+ ratings from 2023 and 2024. What really makes it stand out, though, is how easy it is to live with every day. Inside, you'll find a clean, modern cabin with a user-friendly touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and available heated front seats for added comfort. Honda Sensing comes standard, giving you features like adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist, and the flexible cargo space makes it simple to load up for whatever the day brings. It's compact, efficient, and just genuinely practical without feeling basic.

Why Is the Honda CR-V One of the Most Awarded SUVs?

For 2026, it once again earned a spot on Car and Driver's 10Best Trucks and SUVs list and their Editors' Choice Awards, adding to a long history that includes Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Awards, strong resale value honors, and multiple IIHS Top Safety Pick recognitions. It's also been highlighted in the Parents Best Family Cars Awards, especially for its hybrid model. When you step inside, it all makes sense—there's plenty of room for passengers, a spacious cargo area, and a refined interior with available leather-trimmed seating and a large touchscreen display. Features like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a power tailgate, and available all-wheel drive make it incredibly versatile, while the available hybrid powertrain helps you go farther with fewer stops.

How Has the Honda Passport Been Built for Adventure?

For 2026, it landed on Car and Driver's 10Best Trucks and SUVs list and earned a spot in the Parents Best Family Cars Awards, while also being included in Car and Driver's Editors' Choice Awards. Earlier models even picked up a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating from the NHTSA. What really makes the Passport appealing is how naturally it blends rugged capability with everyday comfort. You get a strong V6 engine, available all-wheel drive, and impressive ground clearance, but inside it's all about comfort and convenience. There's a spacious two-row layout, tons of cargo room with underfloor storage, a touchscreen infotainment system, and features like tri-zone climate control and a hands-free power liftgate. It's ready for adventure, but just as comfortable handling your daily routine.

With IIHS Top Safety Pick+ awards and consistent 5-Star Overall Safety Ratings from the NHTSA in recent years, along with Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Awards and strong rankings from U.S. News and World Report, it's clear the Pilot has earned its place. But what really matters is how well it works for families every day. The three-row seating offers room for up to eight passengers, with available second-row captain's chairs for added comfort. You'll also find features like a large touchscreen display, wireless smartphone integration, multiple USB ports throughout the cabin, and available rear-seat entertainment to keep everyone happy on longer drives. Add in a smooth ride, a powerful V6 engine, and plenty of cargo space, and it's easy to see why families keep coming back to the Pilot.

What really stands out is how approachable it feels as an EV. The ride is smooth and quiet, and the instant torque makes acceleration feel effortless. Inside, you get a modern, open cabin with a large touchscreen, Google built-in, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
