Comparing SUVs can be fun but taxing, especially when you’re looking at top contenders like the 2021 Honda Passport and the 2021 Toyota RAV4. If you’re thinking that one of these two SUVs might be your next car, take some of the guesswork out of the decision with our Passport vs. RAV4 comparison guide. We’ve lined up the key features of each SUV to give you a clear picture of which might be the right choice for you.
Though both of these SUVs have two rows of seats, you’ll have much more space in the 2021 Honda Passport than in the 2021 Toyota RAV4 as the Passport has over 15 cubic-feet more passenger space than the RAV4. You’ll also have much more space for cargo and gear in the 2021 Passport, which offers up to 100 cubic-feet of cargo space over the RAV4’s max capacity at 69 cubic-feet. There’s more to the Passport than its spaciousness, the Honda SUV also comes standard with tri-zone automatic climate control, offers larger touchscreens, and even offers a household-style outlet.
The Passport’s domination continues when you look at the powertrains of the two competitors; while the 2021 Passport runs on a 3.5-liter V6 that makes 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, the RAV4 only offers a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder that makes just 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. The Passport is also the only one of these two SUVs that can tow with up to 5,000 pounds of trailer capacity. As both vehicles are often considered by those looking to go off the beaten path, it’s good to know that the Honda Passport offers an Intelligent Traction Management system and up to 8.1-inches of ground clearance while the RAV4 offers 8.6-inches of ground clearance but no traction management system.
Driver assistance features are a rather emergence in the automotive industry, but these high-tech safety systems are already one of the most important considerations for car buyers. Toyota and Honda are both well known for equipping vehicles with comprehensive driver assistance suites, and the 2021 Honda Passport and 2021 Toyota RAV4 are no exception. Both SUVs come with features like lane keep assist, forward automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, automatic high beams, and rearview cameras.
