Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Honda Passport than in the BMW X5, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the BMW X5 and the Honda Passport.

Convenience
Due to the larger tank size and better fuel economy of the BMW X5, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Honda Passport.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The BMW X5 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Honda Passport, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The BMW X5 is about the same width as the Honda Passport. When looking at overall length, the BMW X5 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Honda Passport.

Handling
The BMW X5 has a larger turning radius than the Honda Passport, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the BMW X5 is clearly the choice over the Honda Passport for pulling heavy loads. The BMW X5 has a little more horsepower than the Honda Passport.

Powertrain
The BMW X5 has much lower torque than the Honda Passport, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the BMW X5 and the Honda Passport. The BMW X5 has less cargo space than the Honda Passport, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
