Pictured above is the 2020 Honda CR-V Touring in Sonic Gray Pearl.
When it comes to vehicles designed to make long excursions feel short, Honda has an incredible lineup of options. Whether you put an emphasis on efficiency, cabin space, or interior technologies, you can be sure you’ll find a ride that’s ready to accompany you on your next road trip here at Pohanka Honda of Fredericksburg. After reading about the models below, swing by our lot to see which one is the perfect fit for you.
Honda CR-V
We’ll kick things off with the 2020 Honda CRV, a compact SUV that’s especially well-suited for individuals who don’t want to spend all their hard-earned money on gas. With its standard 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, it manages to produce 190 horsepower1 and 179 lb.-ft. of torque2 at a 28/34/30 MPG city/hwy/combined3 fuel economy rating. This amount of muscle also allows you to handle up to a 1,500-lb. maximum towing capacity4. Additionally, if you have guests that are going to be joining you on your next excursion, you’ll be happy to hear that this set of wheels offers 105.9 cubic ft. of passenger volume. On top of that, if you fold the back seats down, you’ll have a commendable 75.8 cubic ft. of cargo volume5, proving that the CR-V is prepared to handle any gear you might want to bring along!
Honda Passport and Honda Pilot
Next up on the list are Honda’s midsize SUVs—the 2020 Passport and 2021 Pilot. While the former is designed with a 5-seat arrangement, the latter comes with enough positions for up to eight people on its base edition. That being said, they both provide the same powertrain, a standard 3.5L V6 system that can pump out 280 horsepower6 and 262 lb.-ft. of torque7 for a 5,000-lb. maximum towing capacity8. Moreover, these rides can be equipped with an AWD system, so you’ll have confidence no matter what conditions you come across in your travels down Highway 1. In terms of storage, the Pilot offers slightly more with its 109.0 cubic ft. of space5 to the Passport's 100.7 cubic ft.5 for the same dimension. If you plan on bringing kids along with you, it’s important to keep their attention occupied. The Pilot is happy to assist with its available Advanced Rear Entertainment System. The Passport lacks this as an option, so keep that in mind before making any final decisions.
Honda Odyssey
Last up is the 2021 Honda Odyssey, a minivan that needs no introduction. It starts things off on the right foot, featuring the same brawny powertrain under the hood as the Passport and Pilot. That being said, it can’t haul quite as much as the aforementioned models with its 3,500-lb. maximum towing capacity9. However, it makes up for this with its 158.0 cubic ft. of cargo volume5 behind the first row. And similar to the Pilot, this ride offers up to eight seating positions, so you can bring the whole family along with you. Plus, with features like CabinTalk® and CabinWatch®, you’ll be able to stay on top of what the kids are doing in the backseat and give orders without raising your voice! We can’t fail to mention that this vehicle also has the same back seat entertainment system as the Pilot, which means your children likely won’t be complaining even on long trips.

Testimonials
“ 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. ”

“ 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. ”

“ 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! ”

“ 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 ”

“ 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. ”

“ Shout out to Wesley of Pohanka Honda and the team, specially to their manager (who we forgot the name, sorry! 😅) , who went beyond to give us the best deal ever! Thank you! ”
“ I have never had such a great experience buying a car. I was able to work with Sabrina, who is an absolute gem to all car sales. She was calm, patient, knowledgeable, and kind. She and the manager Tim were able to work with me to get me the deal I was looking for and they weren’t pushy about it. They weren’t blowing smoke up my booty, they just genuinely seemed that they wanted to do what they could to make me happy. Smoothest car buying experience I’ve ever had. And Corey the finance manager is also amazing!!! Got us a great rate and kept us laughing while simultaneously informed. 10/10 experience and I can’t recommend them more ”
“ Pohanka gave me an amazing experience in trading in my car and purchasing a new one. They work with you and your budget to help you purchase the car you want! Abdullah was particularly awesome and worked on my purchase until the late hours of the night just to make sure it was in my best interest! Thank you so much! ”
“ Quick service with no appointment required. ”
“ My go to spot for any major parts of my car and scheduled mileage maintenance . They explain everything to you and why it’s necessary. They are timely so you’re not there all day no matter what I have brought my car in for I’m never there more then 3 or 4 hours. I was really amazed and enjoyed the new feature where the mechanic will send you a video link via text of his visual inspection both inside the engine bay and the underbelly of the vehicle. Absolutely awesome feature of coming to Pohanka Honda of Fredericksburg. ”
“ Excellent dealership from the initial phone call to driving our new car home! Everyone was professional, courteous and eager to help! From Wesley to Ray and Farhad, highly knowledgeable, efficient and pleasant to work with. Best car buying experience I’ve had in a long time! ”
“ I always receive excellent customer service and the highest quality maintenance service at Pohanka! Special thanks to Service Advisor Weston! ”
“ Great and profesional service. ”
“ Pohanka Honda took care of my suv like they usually do. They explained everything to me and I was back on the road before I had a second hot chocolate. ”
“ 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 ”
“ I called ahead to see if they had walk in availability, which service said that it was getting busy, but that they’d take me in! I explained that I was looking for an alignment on my lowered car. She asked asked about details, and told me the alignment was $150. I got there, and a services advisor wrote up my ticket, I asked for the tech to adjust the camber to -2° and I had her note toe in the rear that I knew was there. She noted it down & showed me it would in total, be $180 with taxes, which I signed for. she then came to me and told me because I wanted a specific alignment that the total would be closer to $300. I told her to disregard and just do a standard alignment she came back five minutes later to tell me that no matter what it would be closer to $300. This prompted me to cancel the service. I felt like I was being a bait and switched and was being charged nearly double what I was quoted in. I will never go back nor recommend them to the car community any longer. ”

“ 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. ”
