Which Current Honda Models Have the Fastest 0–60 Times?

Honda has always had a knack for blending real-world usability with punchy acceleration. Whether you’re rolling onto I-495 for the morning commute or timing a clean merge near Route 40/Groton Rd, 0–60 performance can make your drive feel more confident (and more fun).

Quick note: 0–60 times can vary based on trim, drivetrain, tires, temperature, and test method. The figures below are from reputable third-party testing sources and are meant for comparison shopping—not as a guarantee.

At-a-glance: Fastest current Hondas 0–60 (quick comparison)

Here are the current Honda models shoppers ask us about most, including the Civic family, Prelude, and CR-V.

Fastest Honda car right now: Honda Civic Type R (0–60 in 5.3 sec)

Proven on the track, the Civic Type R continues to garner praise from driving enthusiasts everywhere. And if the “fastest Honda car” is the search you’re chasing, the answer is still the Civic Type R.

MotorTrend’s testing puts it at 5.3 seconds to 60 mph. That’s quick enough to feel genuinely special, even if you’re “just” driving to pick up dinner at Cornerstone Square.

The Type R is for drivers who are looking for the sharpest acceleration in the current Honda lineup, a track-inspired, sports feel without giving up everyday practicality, and is a true enthusiast setup (including a manual transmission).

Honda Civic

Here are summaries for the remaining Civic models along with their 0-60 speeds and technical information to help you decide which ones best fits your life and driving style.

Honda Ridgeline (0-60 in 6.2 sec)

You expect a pickup truck to have power, but you don’t always expect to find a fast one. Meet the Honda Ridgeline, highlighted by its 3.5L direct-injection i_VTEC® V-6 engine that produces 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, allowing for a 6.2-second zero to 60 mph time.

Add in its standard all-wheel drive and impressively smooth ride and handling, and you get a capable pickup that never lets you down. Available upscale interior touches (on select trims) include leather-trimmed seating, heated front seats, and an available premium audio system, plus clever storage like the lockable In-Bed Trunk®.

Honda Prelude (0-60 in 6.5 sec)

The Prelude is back! And, yes, people are already searching “honda prelude 0-60.” Car and Driver tested the latest Honda Prelude at 6.5 seconds 0–60 mph. That puts it in a sporty, confidence-building range for daily driving. Think: those moments when you want quick response heading out toward Route 119/Great Rd without needing a full-blown track car vibe.

Honda Accord

Both the Honda Accord gas and hybrid versions feature modern styling cues outside and an elevated interior rivaling those luxury brands that sell for twice the price as well as a full suite of driver-assist systems make driving pleasurable and safe.

Honda Pilot (0-60 in 6.9 sec)

Maybe you need a midsized, three-row SUV to handle your growing family but don’t want to sacrifice power. In that case, the Honda Pilot makes perfect sense. This three-row SUV has the space and utility you want, plus the power you crave. Honda makes the Pilot with a powerful 3.5L V-6 engine and ten-speed automatic transmission that puts out 285 horsepower, 262 lb-ft of torque, and zooms from zero to 60 mph in 6.9 seconds.

The Pilot has a rugged exterior style and AWD capability to match, depending on the trim. You’ve got six trims to choose from, giving you plenty of options to suit your needs. Available comfort and convenience upgrades include leather-trimmed seating, a power moonroof, and a large touchscreen infotainment system with (wireless) Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and Bluetooth®.

Honda Passport (0-60 in 7.1 sec)

The new Honda Passport proves you don’t need a sports car to travel fast. Equipped with a 3.5L V-6 engine and a ten-speed automatic transmission, the Passport produces 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. In straight-line testing, the Passport posts a 7.1-second zero to 60 mph time, largely thanks to the shift-by-wire technology. Plus, it’s fun to drive with its steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters.

You don’t often find a midsize SUV with street credibility speed and an all-wheel drive (AWD) package that takes on all your off-road adventures. Passport’s modern exterior design draws the eyes, while inside, you have all the creature comforts you desire.

Honda Odyssey (0-60 in 7.6 sec)

Finally, mom and dad have a family van that’s fast and fun. Using the same V-6 powertrain and ten-speed automatic transmission that produces 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, the Odyssey logs zero to 60 mph in just 7.6 seconds. So, you’ll never be late for soccer practice again. Plus, available Odyssey upgrades allow for more family-friendly features such as a rear entertainment system, under-floor storage behind the third row, and highly configurable seating via the Magic Slide® 2nd-row seats.

What makes it stand out is how composed it feels doing it with easy takeoffs, steady passing power, and a refined ride that stays calm during school runs, errands, and longer road trips.

Honda CR-V Hybrid (0-60 in 8.0 sec)

For shoppers searching “honda crv zero to 60,” the key takeaway is that the CR-V Hybrid prioritizes smooth, practical power: exactly what many families and commuters want. Edmunds tested a CR-V Hybrid Sport Touring at 8.0 seconds to 60 mph.

That means you’ll get confident merges, steady passing power, and everyday performance that fits an SUV’s mission (without feeling sluggish).

Honda HR-V (0-60 in 9.8 sec)

The Honda HR-V pairs a 2.0L inline 4-cylinder with a smooth CVT automatic, producing 158 hp and 138 lb-ft of torque. Front-wheel drive is standard with available AWD, and MotorTrend’s testing of an AWD HR-V shows 0–60 mph in 9.8 seconds.

Style-wise, the HR-V keeps a clean, athletic profile with 17-inch alloy wheels on LX and available 18-inch alloys on Sport/EX-L, plus standard rear privacy glass across the lineup. Updated tech helps the cabin feel modern, including a standard 9-inch touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.
