2021 Subaru Outback vs Honda Passport

When you're an adventurous spirit in the Parsippany, Wayne, and Morristown, NJ, areas, you need a set of wheels that's going to help you go the distance. Both the 2021 Subaru Outback and Honda Passport fit the bill here, but which one is the best choice for you?

The team at Paul Miller Subaru wanted to help you figure that out, so we compared the Outback vs. Passport. Check out how these two SUVs match up and then contact us to schedule a test drive of the one that catches your eye!

Subaru Outback vs Honda Passport: Capability and Power

If you want a capable SUV that doesn't let anything stand in its path, then you're in great hands with either the 2021 Subaru Outback or Honda Passport. Both SUVs have an all-wheel drive (AWD) feature that actively monitors your driving conditions. It automatically adjusts torque distribution as necessary to help improve traction control on a variety of terrains.

The Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel drive (AWD) system with X-MODE® comes standard on the Subaru Outback while the Honda Passport requires a trim level upgrade before its Intelligent Variable Torque Management™ AWD system is available.

Smart Safety Systems for the Outback vs Passport

Wherever you're heading in and around New Jersey, you want to know that you're going to reach your destination safely. So, you'll be happy to hear that both the Outback and Passport come standard with several smart safety features designed to improve driver awareness and passenger safety, like:

• Forward collision mitigation
• Smart cruise control
• Lane keeping assistance

If you're someone whose attention tends to wander while you drive, then you may also benefit from the available DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System from the Subaru Outback. This innovative feature is designed to reduce distracted or drowsy driving by monitoring your driving habits. If detected, this system will issue an alert to watch the road more closely or take a break.

The Honda Passport, unfortunately, doesn't have a similar feature, so you don't have this extra protection on the road.

In-Cabin Technology: Subaru Outback vs Honda Passport

We all love checking out the high-tech gear inside the cabin, and the Subaru Outback and Honda Passport both have plenty.

For instance, they both have an available touch-screen display. The available 11.6-inch touchscreen in the Outback and the available 8-inch touchscreen in the Passport is where you can access some of your favorite smartphone apps via available Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.

They also both have an available backup camera that can help you park more accurately by turning your touchscreen into a live video feed of the area directly behind your vehicle while in reverse.

How about when you're moving forward, though? The Subaru has a feature for that. The available 180-Degree Front-View Monitor provides a video feed of the area in front of your vehicle and can even peer around corners. This allows you to pull out into traffic more safely, especially if there are cars parked on the street that reduce your visibility.

Without a comparable feature, Honda drivers may be less aware of other vehicles when pulling out onto a tight city street.
