2019 Honda Passport vs 2019 Toyota Highlander

Serving Richardson, TX

Although the Honda Passport has been missing in action for a few years, it’s back for 2019. Not only does this adventurous crossover have an exciting look, but it also delivers a fun performance. Most importantly, a Honda Sensing® safety system comes standard throughout the lineup. Let’s see how the all-new 2019 Honda Passport compares to the 2019 Toyota Highlander.

Performance

The 2019 Honda Passport will satisfy your need for driving excitement. Every trim is motivated by a reliable 3.5-liter, SOHC V6 engine. Honda rates it to push out an impressive 280 horsepower. Not only does the Passport’s powertrain ensure on-demand performance, but it also enables you to tow up to 5,000 pounds. Toyota equips the Highlander with a standard four-cylinder engine, which develops only 185 horsepower. Because of the Highlander’s lack of power, it has a much slower 0-60 mph time and a lower towing capacity. To get the Highlander with a V6 engine, you must shell out more money.

Off-Road Abilities

The 2019 Honda Passport’s incredible handling and responsiveness make it fun to drive on the street. However, it’s also great for taking off-road adventures. When traveling on rough trails, you’ll appreciate the Pathfinder’s 8.4 inches of ground clearance. Furthermore, a torque-vectoring AWD system helps the Pathfinder to maintain excellent traction on slick ground. Honda also equips the Passport with an Intelligent Traction Management button, which helps prepare you for the specific road conditions. While the Toyota Highlander offers all-wheel drive, it’s more suitable for the snow opposed to traveling off-road.

Appearance

Drivers from across the country are in love with the 2019 Honda Passport’s rugged styling. It comes standard with adventurous roof rails, which can hold more than 160 pounds of gear. Beautiful LED headlights also help give this SUV a modern look. A set of 20-inch black-finish wheels bolsters the Passport’s athletic stance. On the rear, dual exhaust finishers highlight the Passport’s sporty nature. Beautiful paint colors, like White Diamond Pearl and Black Copper Pearl, give you more reason to like the Passport. While the 2019 Toyota Highlander is a nice-looking SUV, it just doesn’t turn as many heads. To test drive the 2019 Honda Passport, call or visit our local Honda dealership today!
