Three Fantastic Used Honda SUV Options for Greece Drivers

Living in Monroe County gives residents access to serene, safe neighborhoods and proximity to other terrific towns and cities, like Rochester, Buffalo, and Niagara Falls. There is so much to explore and enjoy in this region of New York, and as a used Honda dealership near Greece, we know just what features make a vehicle perfect for driving in this area. Honda has designed several terrific and reliable SUVs over the years with the perfect features for driving around the great state of New York, which is why we proudly sell used Honda SUVs to our New York customers.

Honda provides a lot of value and reliability with its entire SUV lineup, so when you shop our used Honda SUV selection, you’ll find some really incredible prices from this trusted brand. We’ve selected a few 2020 Honda SUVs we think are perfect for driving around Monroe County and beyond. Since they’re only a few model years behind the current one, these SUVs still offer features that meet modern drivers’ standards. Let’s take a look.

Greece residents who make the regular commute to Rochester for work will love the HR-V. This is a subcompact SUV that gets excellent fuel economy. The daily drive across the I-490 shouldn’t put too big of a dent in your gas budget when you get behind the wheel of this model.

What’s really perfect about it for this region is its Real Time all-wheel drive. It seamlessly switches between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, depending on the driving conditions. The system’s default mode is front-wheel drive to boost fuel economy; however, when it senses a loss of traction, it automatically sends power to the rear wheels for better control on slippery roads. We love this feature for Greece drivers who live in the suburbs and commute into the city.

We know that on those frigid New York winter days, you might drive down a variety of streets — some well-plowed and some not. This real-time all-wheel drive system will adjust to the streets you’re driving on so you can make the transition from downtown Rochester to your quiet neighborhood in Greece without worrying about slippery roads.

Another thing we love about this model is the Touring Trim, which has three features that are great for NY drivers and commuters. First, it gets an eight-way power adjustable driver’s seat so that you can get comfortable on those long drives. Second, it gets LED headlights, which are useful in winter weather. Finally, it gets a satellite-linked navigation system. So, if you want to explore the greater NY region, you won’t get lost just because you lose cell service.

The HR-V might be compact in dimensions, but its super configurable cargo spaces will surprise you. It actually has several distinct cargo modes to help you transport a variety of items of different shapes and sizes. They’re perfect for big shopping days at the Mall at Greece Ridge or for loading up bikes for a ride on the shore of Lake Ontario. We can show you how to set up each mode here at our dealership.

The 2020 CR-V is a compact SUV that also gets great fuel economy like the HR-V but is going to get you more interior space. It actually gets several more inches of rear head, leg, and shoulder room, so it’s good for Greece drivers who usually have adult passengers or fully grown children in the rear seats.

The 2020 CR-V really shines in the cargo department, though, getting nearly 20 more cubic feet of volume compared to the HR-V. So, while the HR-V’s cargo space can only be maximized by sacrificing a seat or two, we recommend the CR-V to anyone who needs maximum cargo volume while also utilizing all five seats.

What we really love about the CR-V for New York drivers who spend a lot of time in their vehicles is the generous suite of convenience and comfort features. It boasts a beautifully designed cabin with thoughtful features everywhere you look. One of the stand-out features is the center console, which is super versatile with many useful compartments for belongings.

We also like to point out the well-placed USB ports throughout the cabin. So when you take the family for a road trip to Niagara Falls or Chimney Bluffs, everyone can use their tablets and iPhones for entertainment. The CR-V also gets the top Touring trim, which adds wireless smartphone charging and a heated steering wheel (ideal for chilly NY mornings).

One of the most exciting things about shopping for a 2020 CR-V, though, has to be that this is the model year when Honda released a hybrid variety. We know that many people move out of Manhattan and into this part of New York to get away from the fumes. So, if you want to contribute a little less pollution and keep the air clean here, we’d love to show you the hybrid CR-V. It doesn’t hurt that it has phenomenal fuel economy, too.

Finally, we get to the Passport, Honda’s midsize SUV. This will offer you the maximum cargo and passenger space from a Honda SUV before moving up to a three-row or full-size SUV. It gets 10 more cubic feet of passenger volume than the CR-V and over 15 more than the HR-V. Cargo volume also jumps by about 25 cu.ft. compared to the CR-V and nearly 50 cu.ft. compared to the HR-V.

What we also love about this midsize SUV is its excellent off-road capability. It boasts Honda’s available i-VTM4 torque-vectoring all-wheel drive and a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 lbs. This is a model we often show to adventurous drivers who need the ability to trailer a small camper or boat with them and who will be leaving paved roads for some of their journey. It’s not a dedicated off-road vehicle but can handle modest off-road conditions.

Another adventure-friendly feature is the large “basement” cargo area beneath the main cargo floor. It’s the perfect place to stash dirty gear after a long day of hiking or biking or for concealing valuables when leaving your vehicle unattended for long periods. Plus, it enjoys an available hands-free power liftgate, so you can easily load up the trunk when your hands are full without manually opening it.

When you’re ready to select your used Honda model, we have a huge inventory, allowing you to find a pre-owned model that fits your needs and budget. We also have a team that can answer all your questions and help you find some great options. They can help you determine which vehicle has just the features you need for your life around Greece.
