One offers extra seats, the other more personality. Here's how these two Hondas stack up.
The new car market is so choked with roomy, family-hauling SUVs that picking one can be a challenge. That’s especially true for Honda fans, who can choose between two comfortably sized SUVs, including the newly redesigned Honda Pilot and the shorter, Pilot-based Honda Passport. The former competes in the three-row midsize SUV segment, while the latter is a two-row midsize SUV.
The two Hondas have some obvious similarities; both use naturally aspirated V-6 engines, and they’re available with many of the same features. That’s because, underneath, they’re effectively the same vehicle built in two sizes. However, each Honda SUV comes equipped with distinctive equipment and options that help set them apart from one another. How do you choose between them? We’re here to help you sort it out.
