Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Honda Passport than in the Nissan Pathfinder. The Nissan Pathfinder 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
The Nissan Pathfinder requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Honda Passport, making it more convenient to drive.

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 is somewhat more expensive than the Nissan Pathfinder.

Dimensions
The Honda Passport is a little wider than the Nissan Pathfinder, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. The Honda Passport is slightly shorter than the Nissan Pathfinder, which may make it easier to park.

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

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

Utility
The Honda Passport has less seating than the Nissan Pathfinder, making the Nissan Pathfinder the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. You'll be able to fit about the same amount of groceries in the Honda Passport as you will in the Nissan Pathfinder.
