Honda All-Wheel Drive Vehicles

Traction in All Conditions

Tackle winter roads with confidence, comfort, and style in the 2019 Honda CR-V AWD. With enough power under the hood to deliver rugged performance, yet, enough creature comforts to satisfy the entire family, the CR-V can take you anywhere.

The Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System is one of the most responsive drivelines on the market and Honda makes it available on every 2019 CR-V trim level. Unlike continuously operating AWD systems, the CR-V’s Real Time AWD automatically distributes power to the rear wheels when the road conditions call for it, conserving fuel and reducing noise. Furthermore, the Real Time AWD system will also send torque to the outside wheels during touch cornering to increase traction in all conditions.

The two engine options for the 2019 Honda CR-V include a standard, 2.4-liter inline-4 capable of 184 hp and 180 lb-ft of torque, and an available 1.5-liter turbocharged engine that produces 190 hp and 179 lb-ft of torque. All trim levels include a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with a sport driving mode for smooth, fuel-efficient driving.

All-Wheel Drive Done Proactively

There is a lot to love about the 2019 Honda HR-V. With looks and utility inspired by the Honda CR-V, and a healthy dose of efficiency and versatility borrowed from the Honda Fit, HR-V provides drivers with the best of both worlds in the form of a subcompact crossover SUV.

But don't let its small stature fool you—the 2019 HR-V is still an SUV at heart. When the weather turns ugly and travel conditions become uncertain, the Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™ will keep your rubber securely on the road. Available on every HR-V trim level, not only does this AWD system increase traction on slippery surfaces, but it also enhances stability during everyday driving maneuvers like cornering and climbing hills.

Unlike traditional, all-wheel drive systems, Honda's Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System™ automatically jumps into action with virtually no lag time. Power is seamlessly distributed to the rear wheels during loss of traction, and just as quickly as it lends a helping hand, the system will disengage once stability has returned to your HR-V for optimum fuel efficiency. This is all-wheel drive done in proactive fashion, because Honda knows that every second counts when driving on slippery or snow-covered roadways.

Models outfitted with AWD will also carry front and rear stabilizer bars, while every 2019 HR-V comes standard equipped with hill start assist and Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with Traction Control, keeping driver confidence at an all-time high. Whether it's the dog days of summer or smack dab in the middle of winter, the 2019 Honda HR-V from your Capital Region Honda Dealers is a small crossover that makes big moves, no matter the road ahead.

Performance-Enhancing Technology

Most drivers are well aware of Pilot's reputation as the modern family SUV, and Honda's 2020 installment is living up to its title. With 280 horsepower under the hood, three rows of seating for up to eight passengers, and 83.9 cubic feet of maximum cargo area, even the most stressful road trip is reduced to a walk (or drive) in the park.

But how does the 2020 Honda Pilot react during adverse weather conditions or challenging terrain? Thanks to the Intelligent Variable Torque Management™ (i-VTM4^®) AWD System, available on any Pilot trim, your peace of mind will never waiver. This proactive all-wheel drive system employs adaptable front-to-rear distribution of engine torque which directs power to those wheels with traction. Each rear wheel is equipped with electro-hydraulically actuated clutch packs, allowing variable amounts of torque to be sent to each rear wheel independently. Bottom line: once the snow starts to fly, this AWD system will increase stability and propulsion with more precise traction from the rear wheels.

The 2020 Pilot doubles down on performance-enhancing technology with the addition of Intelligent Traction Management, an available push-button system that features four driving modes for snow, mud, sand, and normal road conditions. Now, factor in standard-equipped hill start assist and Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA^®) with Traction Control for good measure, and it’s clear that Pilot will keep you in control no matter what the situation.

How could Honda make this SUV any safer? Every 2020 Pilot comes standard with Honda Sensing^®, a suite of driver-assistive technologies and safety features that includes Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Road Departure Mitigation, and Collision Mitigation Braking. It’s strong and sturdy, it’s safe, it’s spacious, and it’s waiting for your test drive at any Capital Region Honda Dealers location today.

Passport to Adventure

Passport was a huge part of the SUV resurgence in the 1990s and it has returned to bring some much-needed utility back to the midsize SUV segment. The 2019 Honda Passport could be dubbed the Pilot that likes to play in the dirt. Although both SUVs pack a 3.5-liter V-6 engine capable of 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, the all-new Passport's dimensions are more favorable when it comes to off-road fun. Its shorter length gives it a better approach angle while its higher ground clearance enhances departure and breakover angles.

Similar to Pilot, however, the 2019 Passport has an available, Intelligent Variable Torque Management™ (i-VTM4®) AWD System that not only provides responsive traction during slippery road conditions, but it also improves dry weather handling. This highly innovative all-wheel drive system can send up to 70 percent of the engine's torque to the rear axle, which is then transferred fully between the left and right rear wheels—as needed—during uncertain driving conditions.

Additionally, Passport's AWD system is paired with Intelligent Traction Management for extra grip at the push of a button. Thanks to the Drive-by-Wire throttle, this technology puts four different driving modes at your fingertips, including Normal, Sand, Mud, and Snow, depending on the terrain. On the "Snow" setting, Intelligent Traction Management will actually start your Passport in second gear and send more power to the rear axle, similar to a rear locking differential.

Passport continues to impress when the time comes to load up your gear. If you're pulling a toy, the 2019 Passport with all-wheel drive has a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds. If you require a generous amount of cargo area, the One-Touch Fold-Down 60/40 Split Rear Seatback provides over 100 cubic feet. If you need even more space, your Passport can be equipped with roof rails and roof top basket for an additional 165 pounds of storage capacity. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, part-time explorer, city slicker, or all of the above, the 2019 Honda Passport is ready for your next adventure.
