A good lease deal isn’t much use if you spend the next few years driving the wrong vehicle. The monthly payment counts, of course, but so do passenger space, fuel economy, performance, and how the vehicle handles Duluth weather. The 2026 Honda lineup gives Minnesota drivers plenty to consider, from the Accord and Civic sedans to the CR-V and HR-V SUVs and the 8-passenger Odyssey. Lease offers can change, so it makes sense to choose the Honda that fits your life first and then see what current Honda lease specials are available.
The Accord Keeps Things Simple and Comfortable
The 2026 Honda Accord LX is a solid option for drivers who don’t need an SUV but still want useful passenger room. Its 1.5L Turbocharged 4-cylinder produces 192 hp and 192 lbs. ft. of torque and works with a continuously variable transmission. The LX also includes a 9-inch touchscreen, so choosing the entry Accord doesn’t mean going without useful cabin technology. With seating for 5, the Accord makes particular sense for commuters who spend plenty of time covering highway miles around Duluth and northern Minnesota. It is spacious without becoming unnecessarily large.
The CR-V Sport Hybrid Makes a Strong Case for Duluth
The 2026 Honda CR-V Sport Hybrid combines crossover practicality with a two-motor hybrid system producing 204 hp. More importantly for Duluth drivers, Real Time AWD™ is available for additional traction when winter conditions arrive. Sport Hybrid equipment includes heated front seats, a power driver’s seat, dual-zone climate control, roof rails, 18-inch gloss-black alloy wheels, and a 9-inch touchscreen. FWD hybrid models achieve up to an EPA-estimated 43 city/36 highway/40 combined mpg, while hybrid configurations provide 36.3 cu. ft. of cargo space behind the second row. That’s a useful combination for anyone who wants to reduce fuel stops without giving up SUV practicality.
The Civic Gives You Two Very Different Ways to Save Fuel
The 2026 Honda Civic Sedan offers both conventional gas and hybrid powertrains. LX and Sport models use a 2.0L 4-cylinder producing 150 hp and 133 lbs. ft. of torque. The Civic LX achieves an EPA-estimated 32 city/41 highway/36 combined mpg. Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid models raise output to 200 total system hp, with the electric motor producing 232 lbs. ft. of torque. Both are rated at an EPA-estimated 50 city/47 highway/49 combined mpg. The Sport Hybrid also adds heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, a moonroof, and 18-inch gloss-black wheels. Drivers browsing new Honda Civic inventory therefore have a choice between keeping things straightforward with the gas engine or adding considerably more efficiency and power with the hybrid.
HR-V or Odyssey? That Depends on Who’s Coming Along
The 2026 Honda HR-V is the smaller SUV alternative to the CR-V. Its 2.0L 4-cylinder produces 158 hp, and Real Time AWD™ is available throughout the lineup. AWD models return an EPA-estimated 25 city/30 highway/27 combined mpg. For Duluth drivers who want SUV packaging and available AWD without moving into a larger crossover, the HR-V fits nicely. Then there’s the Odyssey, which solves an entirely different problem. Every 2026 Honda Odyssey uses a 3.5L V6 producing 280 hp and 262 lbs. ft. of torque with a 10-speed automatic transmission. It seats 8 and offers up to 155.8 cu. ft. of maximum cargo capacity behind the first row. Magic Slide® second-row seats also make it easier to adjust passenger access and seating arrangements. If family space is the priority, the Odyssey is difficult to confuse with anything else on this list.
Choose the Honda, Then Look at the Lease
Current Honda lease deals can vary with model, trim, inventory, eligibility, and timing. Instead of choosing solely from an advertised payment, start with the vehicle. The Accord provides midsize sedan comfort, while the Civic offers compact dimensions and excellent available hybrid efficiency. The CR-V Sport Hybrid combines 204 hp with crossover cargo space and available AWD. The HR-V keeps the SUV formula smaller, and the Odyssey provides serious 8-passenger versatility.
