Honda at a glance
Our dataset covers 17 Honda models spanning Minivan, SUV, Truck, Hatchback, Sedan body styles. The lineup starts at about $20,000 and reaches roughly $55,000 at the top trim, with an average starting price near $31,353. 1 of them is battery-electric, and 3 more are hybrid or plug-in hybrid.
What a Honda costs, cheapest to priciest
Sticker price is only the starting point, but it sets the floor for sales tax, insurance, and depreciation. The Civic is the most affordable entry point at about $20,000, while the Prologue tops the range at roughly $55,000 in its highest trim.

Most fuel-efficient Honda models
Running costs are a large part of ownership, and efficiency varies widely within a single brand. Based on EPA figures in our dataset, the most efficient Honda models are:
- Prologue — 99 MPGe (electric) · most efficient in the lineup
- Accord Hybrid — 48 MPG combined
- Accord Hybrid — 48 MPG combined
- CR-V Hybrid — 38 MPG combined
- Integra — 33 MPG combined
- Civic — 33 MPG combined
How to compare Honda models on total cost
Two Honda models with similar sticker prices can differ by thousands of dollars over five years once you add fuel or electricity, insurance, maintenance, and depreciation. Use the cost-of-ownership calculator on any model page to see a pre-filled five-year total based on real EPA efficiency and segment-average depreciation. Depreciation is usually the largest single ownership cost, so compare projected resale value, not just the purchase price.
You can also model financing directly with our Auto Loan Calculator and compare running costs across brands on the full vehicle directory.
What a Honda costs to own over five years
Sticker price and ownership cost are different numbers. Running our standard ownership model over 3 representative Honda models — the cheapest in the lineup, a mid-range pick, and the most expensive — gives a five-year net cost between $37,848 and $61,220, or roughly $7,570 to $12,244 a year. Net cost means everything you pay out — down payment, loan payments, fuel or electricity, insurance, maintenance and registration — minus the vehicle's projected value at the end of year five.
| Model | In lineup | MSRP used | 5-year net cost | Per year | Per mile |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Civic | Entry | $25,000 | $37,848 | $7,570 | $0.63 |
| Integra | Mid-range | $34,000 | $44,066 | $8,813 | $0.73 |
| Prologue | Top | $51,500 | $61,220 | $12,244 | $1.02 |
Assumptions: 12,000 miles a year, 20% down, a 5-year loan at 6.39% APR, 7% sales tax and $150 registration (national baselines), gasoline at $4.06 a gallon (AAA) and electricity at $0.16 a kWh (EIA), plus segment-average insurance, maintenance and depreciation. The projection also uses segment-average depreciation curves, so it is an estimate for a typical Honda in that class rather than a forecast for one specific car. Every input is editable on the model pages and in our total cost of ownership calculator.
Depreciation is normally the largest single line. On the Civic, the model above projects roughly $12,500 of value lost over five years — about 50% of its $25,000 price — which is why a low sticker price and a low ownership cost are not the same thing.
How Honda compares across our 32-brand dataset
Price position is easier to judge against the whole market than in isolation. Across the 32 brands and 300 models in our dataset, Honda ranks 3rd on entry price at $20,000 for the Civic, and 16th on top-trim price at $55,000 for the Prologue. Ranks are counted from the cheapest end (1st = lowest entry price; ties share a rank) and the median entry price across the dataset is $38,000.
Efficiency sets the floor under running costs. The most efficient Honda in our dataset is the Accord Hybrid at 48 MPG combined, which ranks 44th of 244 gasoline, hybrid and plug-in hybrid models. Note that MPGe and MPG use different scales, so electric models are ranked only against other electric models.
1 of the 17 Honda models in our dataset are battery-electric (6%), against 56 of 300 models (19%) across the whole dataset.
| Closest brands by entry price | Their entry price | Vs Honda |
|---|---|---|
| Hyundai | $20,000 | same |
| Subaru | $20,000 | same |
| Volkswagen | $20,000 | same |
| Toyota | $21,000 | +$1,000 |

What does a Honda cost to own for five years?
Running our standard ownership model over 3 representative Honda models produces a five-year net cost between $37,848 and $61,220, or roughly $7,570 to $12,244 a year. Those figures are net of projected resale value and assume 12,000 miles a year, 20% down, a 5-year loan at 6.39% APR, 7% sales tax and $150 registration (national baselines), gasoline at $4.06 a gallon (AAA) and electricity at $0.16 a kWh (EIA), plus segment-average insurance, maintenance and depreciation.
