Yes. Honda still offers V6 engines in several models, though the brand is leaning toward four-cylinder turbo engines and hybrids for most of its lineup. The current V6 options come from the 3.5-liter family and are primarily used in SUVs, a minivan, and a pickup.
Current V6-equipped Honda models
This list highlights the Honda vehicles that still offer a V6 engine in most recent generations.
- Honda Pilot
- Honda Passport
- Honda Ridgeline
- Honda Odyssey
Engine output varies by model year and trim, but these models use the 3.5-liter V6 family, paired with modern transmissions for a balance of performance and efficiency.
Historical context: Honda's V6 past
Beyond its current lineup, Honda has used V6 engines in other models in the past. The Acura brand, which is part of Honda's corporate family, relied on V6 power in models such as the MDX and TLX. Over the last decade, Honda gradually shifted most mainstream models to turbocharged four-cylinders or hybrids, retiring V6 options from most passenger cars.
- Honda Accord offered V6 options in various generations before moving to four-cylinder turbo options in recent years.
- Acura models (MDX, TLX, RLX) used V6 engines and are part of Honda's broader engine family.
For buyers seeking V6 power, these older vehicles and current SUVs continue to provide options; however, the majority of Honda's sedans and crossovers no longer offer a V6.
What to consider if you want V6 power
Choosing a V6 Honda typically means you’ll prioritize stronger acceleration, towing capability, and smoother highway speeds, at the cost of lower fuel economy compared with four-cylinder models. If fuel economy or emissions are a priority, you may prefer Honda’s turbocharged four-cylinder options or hybrids.
Performance vs. efficiency trade-offs
V6 engines offer robust performance and towing capacity, while four-cylinder turbo engines can deliver similar real-world acceleration with better efficiency. Hybrid variants provide additional efficiency advantages with their own driving characteristics.
Future outlook
Honda appears to be refining its powertrain strategy toward smaller, more efficient engines and electrified options. V6 remains available in a subset of models for now, particularly larger SUVs and trucks, but the long-term emphasis is on four-cylinder efficiency and hybrids across the mainstream lineup.
Summary
Yes—Honda currently has V6-powered options, but they are limited to a few models like the Pilot, Passport, Ridgeline, and Odyssey. For most buyers, Honda’s four-cylinder turbo and hybrid powertrains are the typical path, with V6 reserved for these larger vehicles and certain older or special-edition models.
