Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Honda Passport than in the Nissan Kicks. The Nissan Kicks will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Honda Passport.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Honda Passport as you will with the Nissan Kicks, 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). The Honda Passport will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Nissan Kicks, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Honda Passport is much wider than the Nissan Kicks, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Honda Passport, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Nissan Kicks.

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

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Honda Passport greatly out-muscles the Nissan Kicks.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Honda Passport does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Nissan Kicks.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Honda Passport and the Nissan Kicks. With the Honda Passport, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Nissan Kicks.
