HONDA PASSPORT VS HONDA CR-V
The Honda Passport vs. the Honda CR-V: Which SUV is ideal for your needs?
The Honda SUV portfolio is full to brimming with compelling options, but perhaps two of the most popular for Williamsport area drivers are the new Honda CR-V and Honda Passport. Now, both of these SUVs are stellar in their own right, outfitted with the latest in Honda safety technologies, connectivity conveniences, and plenty of space for you and your family and friends. However, no two drivers are exactly alike, so if you're looking to see whether the Honda CR-V or Honda Passport is best for you, read on to learn more about each mode from our competitive comparison.
Pricing
When you come to Ciocca Honda of Williamsport, you can rest assured that you'll find fair and competitive deals across our Honda portfolio. Whether you opt for a new Honda CR-V lease, a new Honda Passport lease, or one of our many new Honda financing incentives, you'll see that finding a deal that's ideal for your budget is only too simple when shopping at our Muncy, PA showroom.
That being said, even when you consider the variances of trim and option packages, the new Honda CR-V largely clocks in at a lower price point than the Honda Passport. So, for budget-conscious shoppers from nearby Danville, PA, the Honda CR-V is a better value proposition. However, the new Honda Passport is still competitively priced, and if you're willing to spend a bit more to get more space and features, you won't be disappointed by this impressive new Honda SUV.
Exterior Design
At a glance, it's easy to see the difference in stature between the new Honda CR-V and Honda Passport. The Honda CR-V is classed as a compact crossover SUV, while the Honda Passport is a midsize SUV. As a result, the new Honda Passport is considerably larger than the Honda CR-V, giving it a commanding road presence that aligns well with its more toned and muscular exterior design.
However, despite being shorter from end to end and having a shorter wheelbase, the new Honda CR-V does stand slightly taller than the Honda Passport. Plus, it's smaller curbside footprint means that when maneuvering around crowded parking structures, negotiating your way through heavy traffic, or parallel parking on the streets of Lewisburg, PA, the new Honda CR-V is a bit easier to manage than the larger Honda Passport.
Performance
If you're measuring purely on horsepower output, the new Honda Passport is much more muscular than the Honda CR-V. With a standard 3.5-liter V6 engine, the new Honda Passport is capable of churning out up to 280 horsepower. In fact, when properly equipped, the new Honda Passport can easily tow up to 5,000 pounds, so if you own a small travel trailer or small boat that you'd like to take out to the Montour Preserve over in Danville from time to time, you can rest assured that the Honda Passport can handle it.
But while the new Honda Passport may be more powerful overall, the Honda CR-V is a bit more versatile with its powertrain options. With available gasoline and hybrid electric powertrain options in its portfolio, the Honda CR-V offers plenty of power for day-to-day driving in the greater Bloomsburg area.
However, if you're looking for a bit more in the way of off-road capability, the new Honda Passport is a bit better equipped on that front. With its available Honda Passport TrailSport trim, it boasts larger wheels with more robust tread, helping you tackle off-road driving with greater ease. The Honda CR-V can handle light off-roading with its all-wheel drive, but it might have a tougher time on rougher terrain.
Interior Design
Whether you opt for the Honda CR-V or Honda Passport, you'll find space for up to five passengers inside. However, while they have the same seating capacity, the Honda Passport has more overall interior space than the Honda CR-V, but how that space is apportioned varies.
For example, if you're a taller driver, you'll be happy to note that the Honda CR-V offers more headroom up front, not to mention a bit more legroom in the rear seats if you've got friends along for a ride.
But the Honda Passport offers more rear seat headroom overall, not to mention much more luggage space behind its second row. In fact, the Honda Passport has over 100 cubic-feet of cargo space with its rear seats folded down, so if you're looking to haul larger loads, this SUV will more than suffice. But the Honda CR-V has plenty of room for most day-to-day items and groceries, so it's no slouch when it comes to cargo capacity.
As a summation, we'd say that if you're a small family with younger kids looking for a great crossover SUV for daily commuting, picking the kids up from school and soccer practice, the cabin of the new Honda CR-V is perfect for you. If your kids are a bit older and you lead a more active lifestyle and love family road trips, the cabin of the new Honda Passport will prove perfect for any venture.
