Yes. Honda’s current SUV lineup includes several four-cylinder options, most notably in the CR-V (turbocharged and hybrid) and the HR-V (a 2.0-liter four). Some larger Honda SUVs rely on V6 engines instead.
The question asks whether Honda offers four-cylinder engines in its SUV lineup, and if so, which models and configurations are available. It also invites a look at which Honda SUVs do not use four cylinders and why choices vary by size and segment.
Current four-cylinder Honda SUVs
Below are Honda’s mainstream SUVs that use four-cylinder engines, with notes on turbocharged vs. hybrid configurations.
CR-V: Turbocharged and Hybrid options
— The standard engine in most CR-V trims, delivering about 190 hp and 179 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT); available in front- or all-wheel drive. — A 2.0L inline-4 Atkinson-cycle engine combined with electric motors for about 204 hp total, targeting efficiency with the same CVT setup; AWD typically available.
Together, these CR-V configurations demonstrate Honda’s use of four-cylinder powertrains to balance performance and efficiency in its best-selling SUV.
HR-V: A compact four-cylinder option
The HR-V’s single four-cylinder setup emphasizes affordability and efficiency in Honda’s subcompact SUV segment.
Other Honda SUVs and powertrains
Beyond the CR-V and HR-V, Honda’s larger SUVs and related models largely rely on V6 powertrains. These aren’t four-cylinders, but they remain a core part of Honda’s lineup for buyers needing more horsepower in a bigger package.
- Passport — 3.5-liter V6; typically offered with AWD and sport-oriented trims.
- Ridgeline — 3.5-liter V6; a pickup rather than a traditional SUV, but part of Honda’s larger utility family.
For buyers seeking four-cylinder power in a Honda SUV, these larger models illustrate the current engine segregation by vehicle size and segment.
Summary
In sum, Honda does offer four-cylinder SUVs, with the CR-V providing both a turbocharged 1.5L inline-4 option and a CR-V Hybrid that uses a 2.0L four-cylinder paired with electric motors. The HR-V also uses a 2.0L four-cylinder. Larger Honda SUVs such as the Pilot and Passport, and the Ridgeline truck, rely on V6 powertrains. If a four-cylinder setup is a priority, the CR-V (non-hybrid or hybrid) and the HR-V are the primary current choices in Honda’s SUV lineup.
