Yes. Honda currently offers several four-cylinder SUVs, including the CR-V and HR-V, with some trims offering four-cylinder hybrid powertrains; larger models such as the Passport and Pilot are usually powered by V6 engines.
In this article, we break down which Honda SUVs use four-cylinder engines, the differences between gasoline and hybrid four-cylinder configurations, and how engine choices vary by market and model year.
Four-cylinder gasoline-powered Honda SUVs
The following Honda SUVs fire with four-cylinder gasoline engines in their current configurations.
- CR-V — gasoline trims use a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-4; CR-V Hybrid uses a 2.0-liter inline-4 with electric motors.
- HR-V — US-market HR-V uses a four-cylinder engine in gasoline form (engine size varies by generation and market).
In practice, the CR-V is Honda’s primary four-cylinder SUV in gasoline form, with the HR-V serving as the smaller four-cylinder option. For larger, three-row models, Honda sends most trims to V6 power rather than four cylinders.
Four-cylinder hybrid options
Four-cylinder engines paired with hybrid technologies appear in Honda’s CR-V lineup as a dedicated hybrid option.
- CR-V Hybrid — 2.0-liter inline-4 paired with electric motors and an e-CVT, delivering combined power with improved efficiency.
Note: As of latest model years, the CR-V Hybrid is the primary four-cylinder Honda SUV with a hybrid system; availability of a HR-V hybrid varies by market, and some regions do not offer a HR-V hybrid in the US.
Other Honda SUVs and engine choices
For larger Honda SUVs in the United States, such as the Passport and Pilot, buyers typically encounter V6 powertrains rather than four-cylinder options on mainstream trims. Engine lineups can differ by region and model year, so it’s important to verify current specifications with a local dealer or Honda’s official site.
Summary
Honda does make four-cylinder SUVs, led by the CR-V (gasoline turbo and CR-V Hybrid) and the HR-V (gasoline four-cylinder in current generations). For larger models, Honda tends to use V6 engines. Always check the latest model-year specs for your region to confirm exact engine options and availability.
