Honda SUVs by Size: From Smallest to Largest in Shreveport, LA

Finding the right SUV starts with understanding your space requirements. Honda offers five distinct SUV sizes, each engineered for specific lifestyles and family needs.

Honda SUVs by size range from the subcompact HR-V (smallest) through the compact CR-V and electric Prologue, to the midsize Passport, and finally the three-row Pilot (largest). Each offers distinct cargo space, seating capacity, and capabilities for different family needs.

We've helped hundreds of Shreveport families match their transportation needs with the right Honda SUV over our decades serving northwest Louisiana. This guide breaks down each model's dimensions, capabilities, and ideal use cases so you can make a confident decision before your test drive.

Size matters when you're hauling fishing gear to Cross Lake, carpooling kids around Bossier City, or planning weekend trips to Dallas. We'll walk you through Honda's complete SUV lineup from most compact to most spacious, highlighting what makes each size category work for different drivers.

Key Points: Honda SUVs by Size

  • Right-Sizing Saves Money and Improves Daily Life Choosing the correct SUV size directly impacts fuel economy, parking ease, and total ownership costs. The HR-V delivers outstanding efficiency for singles and couples, while the Pilot provides three-row space only when families actually need it. Buying more vehicle than necessary means paying for unused space and capability every month.
  • Cargo Capacity Varies Dramatically Across the Lineup Honda's smallest SUV (HR-V) offers 55.1 cubic feet of maximum cargo space, while the largest (Pilot) provides significantly more room for growing families. The CR-V strikes a middle ground with 76.5 cubic feet, the Passport reaches 83.8 cubic feet, and each model's specific dimensions serve different gear-hauling needs from weekend camping trips to major home improvement projects.
  • Every Size Category Includes Advanced Safety and Reliability Honda Sensing safety technology comes standard across the entire SUV lineup regardless of size. Whether you choose the most compact or most spacious model, you receive the same collision mitigation, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assistance. Honda's legendary reliability and strong resale values apply equally from HR-V through Pilot.

Honda HR-V: Honda's Smallest SUV

The HR-V serves as your entry point to Honda's SUV family. This subcompact crossover fits easily into tight parking spots around Louisiana Boardwalk while still delivering genuine utility.

Behind the rear seats, you'll find 24.4 cubic feet of cargo room. Fold those seats down and that number jumps to 55.1 cubic feet. That's enough space for weekend camping gear headed to Cypress Black Bayou Park or a substantial grocery run for the family.

The Magic Seat system gives you flexible configurations. Flip the rear seats up stadium-style to fit tall items like plants from the nursery. Fold them flat for maximum cargo capacity. The system adapts to whatever you're hauling that day.

For singles, couples, or small families navigating Shreveport streets, the HR-V delivers SUV versatility without excess size or cost. It parks easily at Sci-Port Discovery Center. Maneuvers through morning traffic on Youree Drive without stress. Gets solid fuel economy for your daily commute.

Honda Sensing safety features come standard, giving you collision mitigation braking, road departure mitigation, and adaptive cruise control. The available all-wheel drive system adds confidence during heavy Louisiana rain.

The HR-V works especially well for first-time SUV buyers, young professionals, or empty nesters downsizing from larger vehicles. You get the elevated seating position and cargo flexibility of an SUV in a package that's easy to own and operate.

Honda CR-V: The Compact Crossover

Step up to the CR-V and you'll see why it consistently ranks among America's bestselling SUVs. This compact crossover strikes a perfect balance between exterior size and interior space.

The CR-V provides up to 76.5 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded. That's room for road trip luggage headed to Dallas, sports equipment for the kids' teams, or supplies from the home improvement store. Five adults ride comfortably, and the materials inside feel refined without being pretentious.

Two powertrains give you options. The gas version runs a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine delivering an estimated 190 horsepower with responsive acceleration and respectable fuel economy. The CR-V Hybrid combines electric and gas power for outstanding efficiency without sacrificing performance on Highway 20 or I-49.

We see the CR-V work exceptionally well for growing families around Bossier City and Blanchard. It handles school drop-offs, grocery runs, and weekend adventures with equal ease. The cargo area swallows strollers, sports gear, and camping equipment for trips to Lake Bistineau State Park.

Available Real Time AWD adds traction during rainy weather and provides confidence on unpaved roads to fishing spots along the Red River. The system engages automatically when conditions require extra grip.

Inside, you'll find intuitive controls, comfortable seating for long drives, and thoughtful storage throughout the cabin. The CR-V's reputation for reliability means many owners keep these vehicles well past 200,000 miles with proper maintenance at our service center.

Honda Prologue: The All-Electric Midsize SUV

Honda entered the electric SUV market with the Prologue, combining zero-emission driving with the practicality Honda customers expect. This midsize electric vehicle proves you don't need to compromise space for sustainability.

Front-wheel-drive Prologue models deliver an EPA-estimated range of up to 308 miles on a single charge. That covers your daily Shreveport commute, weekly errands, and weekend trips to Texarkana or beyond without range anxiety. The dual-motor all-wheel-drive version provides 300 horsepower and an estimated 283 miles of range.

Fast charging capabilities mean you can add approximately 65 miles of range in about ten minutes at compatible DC fast chargers. For home charging, the Prologue works with standard Level 2 equipment, making overnight charging convenient.

The interior seats five passengers comfortably with 57.7 cubic feet of maximum cargo space when configured for hauling. Google built-in connectivity, an 11.3-inch touchscreen, and wireless smartphone integration keep you connected without fumbling with cables.

The Prologue appeals to environmentally conscious drivers who want to reduce their carbon footprint while maintaining the versatility needed for family life. It handles daily commutes silently and smoothly. Accelerates quickly when merging onto interstates. Provides the elevated seating position SUV buyers prefer.

Operating costs run significantly lower than gas-powered vehicles when you factor in fuel savings and reduced maintenance needs. No oil changes, fewer brake replacements thanks to regenerative braking, and lower cost per mile for energy versus gasoline.

Honda Passport: The Adventure-Ready Midsize

Want something more rugged? The Passport delivers adventure-focused capability in a midsize package built for drivers who refuse to choose between comfort and off-road confidence.

Standard all-wheel drive with Intelligent Traction Management helps you tackle different terrain types. Snow, sand, and mud modes optimize traction based on conditions you encounter. Whether you're pulling a boat to Cross Lake or heading to Arkansas for a camping weekend, the Passport handles it confidently.

A 3.5-liter V6 engine produces 280 horsepower for confident passing power and up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity when properly equipped. That's enough for most boats, campers, and utility trailers popular with Shreveport-area outdoor enthusiasts.

Inside, you'll find seating for five adults with up to 83.8 cubic feet of cargo space when the second row folds down. The Passport sits higher than the CR-V, giving you better ground clearance for unpaved roads and commanding visibility in traffic.

We see the Passport work especially well for active families who spend weekends on the water or exploring Red River National Wildlife Refuge. It's equally comfortable on Highway 20 heading to work or navigating forest service roads to your favorite fishing spot.

The cabin features premium materials, modern technology, and thoughtful storage solutions throughout. Despite its rugged capability, the Passport rides comfortably on daily drives and provides a quiet interior for long highway trips.

Honda Pilot: Honda's Largest 3-Row SUV

At the top of Honda's SUV lineup sits the Pilot. This is the one you need when three rows of seating and maximum passenger capacity matter for your family's daily life.

Up to eight passengers can ride comfortably with generous space in all three rows. The second row offers ample legroom for adults, and even teenagers can sit in the third row without feeling cramped on longer drives. More than 150 cubic feet of passenger volume means everyone gets their personal space during family road trips.

When you need cargo capacity instead of passenger seats, fold down those rear rows to access a cavernous storage area. The Pilot swallows camping gear for the entire family, luggage for extended vacations, or supplies for home projects. The versatile interior adapts to whatever your week demands.

The 285-horsepower V6 engine moves this large SUV confidently whether you're merging onto I-20 or passing slower traffic on Highway 71. A 10-speed automatic transmission keeps things smooth and efficient. Available all-wheel drive provides added traction during Louisiana's heavy rain seasons.

Trims range from family-focused models to the adventure-ready TrailSport and luxury-oriented Elite. Higher trims add premium features like a 12-speaker Bose audio system, leather seating, and tri-zone climate control so driver, second row, and third row passengers each control their comfort.

The Pilot tows up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped, so you can bring boats, campers, or utility trailers along for weekend adventures. We see these work exceptionally well for larger families around Barksdale Air Force Base, carpooling situations, or anyone who regularly transports groups.

Which Honda SUV Size Fits Your Lifestyle?

Choosing the right SUV size comes down to matching your actual needs with the right vehicle capabilities. We've helped hundreds of northwest Louisiana families through this decision at our Shreveport location.

Consider your daily passenger count. Singles, couples, or families with one or two kids typically find the HR-V or CR-V provides all the space they need without paying for unused capacity. Families with three or more children, frequent carpoolers, or those who regularly transport extended family members benefit from the Pilot's three-row configuration.

Think about your cargo requirements. Weekend warriors hauling fishing gear, camping equipment, or bikes to Red River trails do well with the CR-V's 76.5 cubic feet. Serious outdoor enthusiasts towing boats or needing off-road capability should consider the Passport. Home improvement enthusiasts and those moving large items frequently appreciate the Pilot's maximum cargo volume.

Evaluate your environmental priorities. The Prologue eliminates gas station visits entirely while providing midsize SUV space and capability. Lower operating costs and zero tailpipe emissions make it compelling for eco-conscious families who want to reduce their carbon footprint without sacrificing utility.

Factor in your budget and fuel economy needs. Smaller SUVs typically cost less to purchase, insure, and fuel. The HR-V and CR-V Hybrid deliver outstanding efficiency for daily commuting around Shreveport and Bossier City. Larger models provide more capability but come with higher operating costs you'll pay throughout ownership.

Each Honda SUV comes with Honda Sensing safety features protecting you and your passengers on every journey. We stock all five models at our East Bert Kouns location, so you can see them side by side, sit in each one, and take test drives to find your ideal match.
