The former generates 190 horsepower1 and 179 lb.-ft. of torque2, and the latter has up to 280 horsepower3 and 262 lb.-ft. of torque4. These models also differ in terms of fuel consumption, as the CR-V can achieve a 28/33/30 MPG city/hwy/combined5 fuel efficiency rating, and the larger Passport has a 28/33/30 MPG city/hwy/combined6 score. Both cars have an available AWD drivetrain, so you can take either model for trips off the beaten path when you wish.
Interior
Driving around Woodbridge can be the highlight of your day when you have a luxurious vehicle. Luckily, both the 2026 Honda CR-V and 2026 Honda Passport feature opulent components like standard automatic climate control systems. These regulate the interior temperature despite our volatile weather conditions, while the standard tri-zone setup in the Passport can maintain three different settings. This vehicle also has a standard leather-wrapped steering wheel for you to grasp, which is an available feature in the CR-V as well. Both models have five seats and optional leather upholstery for you to enjoy during your journey down Interstate 95.
Technology
The cabins of the CR-V and Passport are also lined with modern features that can entertain you while you’re heading to work. Turn on the 9.0-inch screen in the CR-V or the 12.3-inch display in the Passport to operate applications or navigation. Do you have a qi-compatible phone? Place it atop the convenient wireless charging pad7 that comes standard in these SUVs to get its battery back to 100 percent without the use of cords or cables. If your passengers want to get their mobile devices charged on the way to Rippon Landing Park, they can use the two USB ports in the Honda CR-V or the four ports in the Passport. A rearview camera with dynamic guidelines8 is standard in both of these cars, making it easy to see what lies behind the vehicle.

Testimonials
“ Great experience with JJ Sarwari! Took great care of me and got my truck turned around as promised - cleaned up too! ”
“ Our Honda Odyssey we purchased and maintained at Pohanka hit its end of life. Pohanka (salesman Dan) was phenomenal getting us into the Pilot which we had been looking at for a while anyways. Not push, kept communication high without being too over bearing. Plan to purchase future vehicles from Pohanka Honda in the future! ”
“ Great, Friendly and quick service!! ”
“ Pohanka Honda of Fredericksburg gave us a really positive dealership experience, even though we ultimately did not purchase a vehicle there. Thomas was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful from the moment we arrived. He took the time to answer questions, never made us feel pressured, and created a relaxed environment to explore options. We ended up choosing a different vehicle from another dealership, but that decision was simply about brand preference, not anything they could have done differently. Thomas represented the dealership well and treated us with professionalism and courtesy the whole time. If you are shopping at Pohanka Honda of Fredericksburg, ask for Thomas. You can expect an honest, low pressure, and pleasant experience. ”
“ Recently bought a 2026 CR-V from Pohanka Honda. I keep my cars for a long time, so I always feel a bit awkward in a car dealership. My experience with Wesley Robinson, and the entire team at Pohanka Honda couldn’t have gone better. We love the new car, and your professionalism and product knowledge made us feel we made the right choice. Thank you!! ”
“ I wanted to take a moment and share my car buying experience. First I want to discuss Ray who represents your business with the highest professionalism and class, while not even working. I met Ray 4 years ago at my business in Stafford. I’d see him multiple times throughout the week for 4 years. It wasn’t until year 2 of knowing him that I learned he works for Honda. My previous car buying experience was a nightmare, and buying my next car I needed someone I could trust. I told Ray that when I was ready I would see him for my next vehicle. In 33 years, a Honda car has never been on my radar. Never looked at one, but because of Ray and his character, I said to myself “I want to purchase a Honda from him because I know I can trust him to take care of me.” Never underestimate the power of the people that work for you, they can make or break people’s decisions. 2026 I am ready to get the new Honda. I haven’t seen Ray in over 8 months at my business, but because of the connection he built with me, I was committed to buy that Honda from him. The most effortless car buying experience. Sabrina was the lead salesperson and I couldn’t have had a more enjoyable experience. Her attention to detail and care for taking care of people and making them happy is very important to her success. Thank you Sabrina, I look forward to working with you in the future as well. I had the pleasure of meeting Cody & Nate also, who were the utmost professionals throughout the process. You see the most important thing you can do in car sales, is treat people right. When you treat people right, you create repeat customers, and referrals. People will ALWAYS remember how you make them feel, and this team here in Fredericksburg has done just that and more. Thank you! ”
“ Pohanka Honda is the best place to do your service and Sean is a very great person and have great customer experience and take care of you and the business. Best luck and keep it up always. Thank you to take care of me and my car. ”
“ Outstanding Honda Service Center conveniently located to my house. Service Center does not require appointments which is an important factor. Service is always first rate. They look for other faults but they are only recommendations unless it is a major safety or critical safety issue. As a recent innovation, they make a digital video of issues by their mechanic to provide direct evidence to the customer. Highly recommended-world class Service Center. I understand they work on other car makes as well. ”
“ Was great Work was done in a timely manner The staff is wonderful ”
“ Great customer service and reliable team ”
“ I am very satisfied with the service they did for me ”
“ I’ve been coming here for years with 2 vehicles for service. They’re always professional and kind, no matter who my service provider ends up being. They inform you of an estimated wait time, but I’ve never had to wait more than 2 hours to have any service completed. I do like the new feature of sending you a video of your car being inspected by their service team. ”
“ First car ever brought they made the experience great they gave me a lower interest rate than the one i came in with definitely recommend Wesley when shopping ”
“ The service department fit me in at the last minute to do my safety inspection on the coldest day of the year! The tech was very professional and sent me a video of his findings before he called to discuss. The small tire repairs only took about a hour before I was back on the road again. It was a very pleasant and easy experience. ”
“ Bought a Honda Passport last night with the help of Wesley who made this car buying experience very pleasant. He listened to our needs and was very accommodating. Highly recommend working with him and sales director Tim. It was worth our long drive. Everyone was nice to work with. What a great dealership! ”
“ I'm giving Pohanka Honda of Fredericksburg a 5 Star rating. I have always gotten Outstanding Service whether buying or at the Service Center. I'm on my 6th van. I always ask for Weston " Wes" he's a Service Lane Manager. He excels at his job & is an Outstanding Service Lane Manager. ”
“ As usual, excellent service. Dixie was fantastic. ”
“ We had our first experience with the Service Dept today! Awesome visit! Friendly employees! Beautiful lounge area! So glad we left Subaru!!! Loved the video showing the work on the car! Thanks for a great experience! Pamela and Larry ”
“ Great experience with Jacque. Very knowledgeable and great to work with. They found me the car I wanted and got it to me quick! Finance was also great to work with. Made it easy! Thanks! ”
“ Top notch and excellent customer service. ”
“ A huge shoutout to Jeff, Ernest, & Nate. If you are buying a car ask for them specifically! I HIGHLY recommend them— there customer service is top tier, and they truly have the compassion & patience for their customers. I recommend also to be very selective on who you will work with because it will definitely be the biggest factor in purchasing a car. I rejected working with 3 individuals prior to working with Jeff, Ernest ,& Nate at this location— that being said if you are buying a car in general, be very selective on who you choose to go through the process with. It will make a huge difference in your overall buying experience. ”
“ What wonderful people here at Honda. I did not buy a Honda but I was still provided a world class experience. This team has over exceed my expectations and I would recommend anyone to stop by. Even if you’re unsure, they will guide you to make the most informed decision. Low pressure and great people! ”
“ awesome service ”
“ Thomas was amazing and helped me so so much truly an angel in disguise ! ”
“ ChiChi was such a big help and accommodated all my needs ”
“ My salesman Thomas Sprow was great and the fact that Cody (the general sales manager) reached out to me to pursue my business and make sure I was a satisfied customer was impressive. Euri in finance was another complete pleasure to deal with. My entire experience made me feel valued and I’m very happy with the purchase of my Pilot. ”
“ Always a pleasure to have my vehicle serviced here. Professional, courteous, and clean. The staff always seems happy. ”
“ With a commitment to see three cars in one day and come home with a car, Pohanka made sure i left with a brand new CR-V that day. I did my homework and expressed my wishes. Pohanka knows that AI arms everyone with data to drive a good deal. And that’s what I want. A good fair deal. Thanks to the team that made this happen. Thomas Graves-Evans, Jacques Pons and Greg Altman. The name Pohanka always meant a lot to me as a local DMV native. Since 1919, Pohanka has put wheels on our roads! I know I am very pleased! Thank you! ”
“ I love Honda cars, Wesley was very helpful ”
“ As always, Pohanka Honda does an ousting work. Keep up the great job 👍👍👍 ”
“ The way I am going to refer anyone and everyone here it’s going to be like my MISSION! From start to finish, hands down the best experience I have ever had! This location is so professional, knowledgeable and will literally work with you. The only way you won’t walk out with keys is if YOU are holding yourself back. That was almost me. Now if you don’t like great service, people who take their time, sitting for a little while, then this place isn’t for you. However, it’s all worth it. I had to start my car journey after a scary experience (and my kids were in the car with me). I went to Drivetime and Koons, and it brought me more anxiety and doubt. Here at Honda, Bosa was so amazing. The first day I was there 3-4 hours. All my questions were answered, I got to test drive an amazing car. I had probably talked to 3-4 people. I didn’t get the keys then because of doubt and other obstacles that Bosa brought to my attention which I was so grateful for. Two days later I was back. There was no way I could let all their hard work go to waste and plus they worked with me so well to get a vehicle in my budget. I got my first BRAND NEW car! I’m the first owner. My first Honda. I almost cried. Management team, associates are all amazing. I highly recommend Bosa. I wouldn’t call if its your first time or you’re visiting again, I would definitely just go in. The place is spacious, darn good hot chocolate, great atmosphere, great vibes. A place where the magic really happens. 100/10. Thank yall so much. Best early gift to myself, a reliable car, great color. I’m excited for all the new memories. #TeamHonda ”
“ Pohanka Honda of Fredericksburg is absolutely amazing! If anyone is in the the market or in need of service this is the place to go! I had the pleasure of dealing with Dixie Storm in the Service department. ”
“ Service attendant was very helpful ”
“ Excellent service and customer service ”
“ Pohanka Honda is a good place to buy a car ”
“ Best dealership ever wonderful people specially the sell guy and fineness guys are so kind and they will provide you with something you want thanks to farhad and erik for their warm welcome and assistance . Strongly recommended ”
“ I bought a new CRV here and the transaction couldn't have been easier. I never left my house. Did all the paperwork from my computer, the car was delivered, and I signed. Thomas Sprow III was wonderful to work with and beat the price of another dealer on the exact model/trim/color I wanted. The financing process was easy without the crazy hard selling of add-ons (although they were offered, as expected) that I have experienced with other dealers. ”
“ WOW! I really had a good experience working with Viviana Ortiz in sales Dana Wheaton in finance and Kelly Grimes in finance. They are a great group of people to work with. They are definitely people persons. ”
“ I called to see if they had a lower control arm and they did. I drove about an hour to Manasas and back and they’ve sold me a messed up control arm that I had to replace and had to buy another one. Wouldn’t recommend buying at this dealer a big scam For parts ”

“ My first review for purchasing a car. Wesley at Pohanka Honda took care of us from the moment we arrived this past Saturday. We had just planned on test driving cars but as Wesley walked us through the Honda Pilots we’d researched online we found the perfect one for us and decided to purchase it. We’re now the proud owners of a 2025 Honda Pilot Elite. All of this would not have possible without Wesley listening to our needs and wants and helping us test drive the perfect car for us. If you’re in the market for a new or used car I suggest that you ask for Wesley when you walk into the Pohanka showroom. I’d also like to add that the Used Car Director Lee and Finance Manager Corey were fabulous as well. They have a great team at Pohanka Honda. By far my best car purchasing experience ever. ”
