2021 Subaru Outback vs. 2021 Honda Passport
A ride that exudes class from the inside to the outside, despite not being a luxury ride, the 2021 Subaru Outback easily calls the attention of passersby. It also has a long list of reliable technologies that you can count on for entertainment during the ride. The roomy and comfortable cabin simply impresses passengers.
In the case of the 2021 Honda Passport, expect that the cabin has plenty of space for passengers. It is also equipped with a potent V6 engine. Now standard for the ride are Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as its eight-inch touch screen.
Design & Style
Looking and feeling modern from the inside to the outside, the 2021 Subaru Outback easily meets the demands of its avid followers. There are plenty of great quality materials to like in the vehicle. Add to that, it also injected soft-touches in between. Five passengers, regardless of age and size, will find the seating configuration comfortable too. The cargo area reaches up to about 76 cubic feet when the rear seats are not in use.
Perhaps, the only selling point of the 2021 Honda Passport in this aspect is no less than its wide cargo space which can carry up to 77.9 cubic feet of luggage when the rear seats are not in use. Yes, it has a cloth-upholstered cabin, but seats can be a pain during long drives. They are too firm to enjoy especially for kids. The SUV uses soft plastics that are not as impressive as those found in the Outback.
Technology & Safety
The 2021 Outback is definitely one of those rides with the best technologies to look forward too. It combines a pair of seven-inch touch screen displays to work on functions for its Starlink infotainment system. The ride is also gifted with flawless smartphone integration both for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Other standard equipment in the ride includes two USB ports, four speakers, Bluetooth, and satellite radio. For safety, it now has a rear-seat reminder and steering-responsive LED headlights, together with a long list of other driver aids like forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, and the rearview camera, among others.
For the 2021 Honda Passport, it comes equipped with an intuitive infotainment interface paired with an eight-inch touch screen. The display is overly sensitive to the touch. It has seven speakers, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and a USB port. Safety wise, it only has a few to offer; among them are stop-and-go adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, road departure mitigation, automatic high-beam headlights, rearview camera, and forward collision warning.
Performance
There are two engine options for the Outback. One is the base 2.5-liter engine that puts off 182 horsepower, and the other variant which is capable of generating 260 horsepower. For the Honda Passport, it may have a 280-horsepower result for its 3.5-liter, V6 engine, but it takes a rough shift.
The Bottom Line
The 2021 Subaru Outback balances its modern look with its tough engines, and remarkable technologies. It is definitely a winner over the Honda Passport.
