Comparison Review

Comfort
The Honda Passport offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Honda Pilot, with comparable head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Honda Passport and the Honda Pilot.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Honda Passport as you will with the Honda Pilot, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

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). When looking only at MSRP, the Honda Passport will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Honda Pilot.

Dimensions
The Honda Passport is about the same width as the Honda Pilot. If you go with the Honda Passport, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Honda Pilot.

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

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Honda Passport is clearly the choice over the Honda Pilot for pulling heavy loads. In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the Honda Passport and the Honda Pilot.

Powertrain
With similar torque, the Honda Passport and the Honda Pilot are about even in transmitting their respective horsepower to the wheels.

Utility
Soccer Moms beware - the Honda Passport seats a lot fewer people than the Honda Pilot. The Honda Passport has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Honda Pilot.
