Which vehicles make the best family cars? Most Iowa drivers would say SUVs (and they would be correct) because of their spacious seating, cargo-hauling capabilities, all-wheel drive (AWD) performance, and capacity for towing. Although the SUV and crossover categories are jam-packed with popular choices, when you put Honda’s award-winning SUV lineup against the competition it isn’t much of a contest. Ride along with Vern Eide Honda Sioux City as we explore the Pilot, CR-V, Passport, and HR-V.
The lowest priced Honda SUV is the HR-V and the HR-V is loaded with value. With a starting price of just over $24,100*, this subcompact SUV does big things thanks to the 60/40 Split 2nd-Row Magic Seat® and available all-wheel drive.

There is no wrong answer to this question. The best Honda SUV to buy is the one that best suits your family’s needs. If you’re hauling around kids and their friends, Pilot is your pick. If you’re an adventurous family that takes the road less traveled, Passport is the only Honda SUV designed for challenging terrain. If you’re a smaller family that needs cargo space and a few extra miles per gallon, CR-V and HR-V are both great options. All of these vehicles offer Honda Sensing safety technologies and all-wheel drive. No matter which Honda SUV you choose, this much is true: Honda has an award-winning reputation for dependability, safety, and value.
