Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Honda Passport than in the Toyota Highlander. The Toyota Highlander offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Honda Passport, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Convenience
The Toyota Highlander 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 Toyota Highlander.

Dimensions
Since the Honda Passport is much wider than the Toyota Highlander, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the Honda Passport takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Toyota Highlander.

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

Performance
If you've got something you need to pull, the Honda Passport will do just as well as the Toyota Highlander, since they have about the same towing capacity. The Honda Passport has a little more horsepower than the Toyota Highlander.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Honda Passport doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Toyota Highlander.

Utility
Soccer Moms beware - the Honda Passport seats a lot fewer people than the Toyota Highlander. You'll be able to fit about the same amount of groceries in the Honda Passport as you will in the Toyota Highlander.
