If you’re searching for a new SUV in Decatur, IL, the 2022 Honda Passport and the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse are great picks to add to your list. They both have spacious cabins, capable engines, and value-packed standard-features lists. For the 2022-year model, Honda gives the Passport a refresh with a new exterior design that has a more rugged appeal. The 2022 Chevrolet also got an update for the 2022 model year, but its updates are focused more on interior features that bring it up to speed with the Passport and other models in the segment.
With the recent updates, many car-shoppers might be wondering which vehicle is the better buy. So, we’re making a feature-by-feature comparison of these SUVs to help you get a clear picture of what each vehicle offers. Read on to learn more.
Under the hood, the 2022 Passport sports a 3.5-liter V6 engine with a nine-speed automatic transmission. The Traverse has a similar setup with a 3.6-liter V6 and nine-speed automatic transmission. Both vehicles have enough power to zip around town and ramp up to high-way speeds swiftly. They also have the same max-towing capacity of 5000 pounds.
The interior of the Honda Passport has an upscale feel and plenty of space. With room for five passengers, mid-size families can enjoy seating that has just as much head, leg, and hip room in the rear seats as it does in the front seats. That means even taller adults will be comfortable on longer drives. The two-row SUV is also decked in high-quality materials that include available diamond perforated leather upholstery with high-contrast stitching.
The Chevrolet Traverse has seating for seven to eight passengers and a modest cabin. The first and second rows of seats are comfortable for adults, but the third row is best for shorter adults or children. The materials throughout the cabin include some soft-touch materials and upholstery but are mostly hard plastics.
While the Traverse has more total cargo space than the Passport that’s to be expected since it is a three-row SUV. The Passport however sports nearly 41.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind its rear seat alone while the Traverse has only 23 cubic feet of space behind its rear seats.
Both SUVs have user-friendly infotainment systems with intuitive touchscreen functions and select physical controls. The Passport’s larger eight-inch screen may be easier to navigate while driving than Traverse’s seven-inch screen. Both vehicles’ standard features lists include Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto, and satellite radio. The Passport however also includes wireless device charging.
When it comes to standard Safety and Driver Assistance features, the 2022 Honda Passport has a clear advantage over the Traverse. While the Traverse offers many features throughout its line-up, the Passport offers all of its assistance features starting at the base model so car-buyers don’t need to compromise on their budget to feel safe on the road. The Passports list of features includes:
