2021 Passport vs 2021 Outback: Take it to the Road
Which SUV has the power you’ll want on your next road trip? Both are undeniably capable, but as you’ll see, the Honda Passport packs a little more power under the hood.
The Passport comes standard with a 3.5L V6 engine that can achieve up to 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. Not only will this allow you to tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped, but this engine also comes standard with Idle-Stop. When you come to a complete stop, this system will temporarily shut off your engine to help you conserve fuel.
The Outback’s standard 2.5L 4-cylinder engine can only reach up to 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque. Even its available turbocharged engine can only get up to 260 horsepower—less than the Passport. Plus, its maximum towing capacity is only 3,500 pounds, which means you probably won’t have the strength to bring your boat on your next getaway.
