2024 Honda Pilot and 2024 Honda Passport Comparison

Stockton Honda presents a comparison: 2024 Honda Pilot and 2024 Honda Passport

Are you in search of your next new SUV? Look no further than the 2024 Honda Pilot and the 2024 Honda Passport! As Honda's largest vehicle to date, the 2024 Honda Pilot is a versatile and powerful three-row SUV designed to meet the diverse needs of families. Following its 2023 redesign, the Pilot now features a modernized infotainment system, a larger footprint, and rugged exterior styling that enhances its bold appeal. Families in Modesto, Elk Grove, Lodi, Sacramento, and Stockton are raving about its strong V6 engine, providing impressive acceleration, and its clever interior design. The cabin boasts premium materials and user-friendly controls, while the infotainment system is intuitive and offers the modern connectivity features families expect. For those seeking more adventure, the TrailSport trim equips the Pilot with all-terrain tires, off-road-tuned suspension, and underbody skid plates, making it ideal for tackling tougher terrains. If you are in need of something a little smaller, take a look at the 2024 Honda Passport, the ultimate SUV for adventurers seeking a perfect balance of rugged capability and everyday practicality. With its bold design, spacious two-row interior, and powerful performance, the Passport is ready to tackle both urban streets and off-road trails with ease.

Inside, drivers and passengers will enjoy premium materials, cutting-edge technology, and ample cargo space, making it an ideal companion for weekend getaways or daily commutes. To help you decide which Honda SUV is right for you, Stockton Honda has prepared an in-depth review of each vehicle, including engine specs, interior details, towing capacities, MPG ratings, and trim options.

Engine Specs and Performance Highlights

Starting off with the 2024 Honda Pilot, drivers will be thrilled with the power of a robust 3.5-liter V6 engine that delivers an impressive 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, paired seamlessly with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission for quick acceleration and precise gear changes. Merging onto the highway is a breeze with a 0-60 mph time of just 6.9 seconds! With its responsive steering and surprising agility for a larger SUV, the 2024 Honda Pilot offers a driving experience that's both dynamic and engaging. Available all-wheel drive enhances its versatility, giving you confidence to conquer any terrain, while a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds ensures you're ready for any adventure. Fuel efficiency is competitive for its class, delivering up to 19 MPG city and 27 MPG highway with front-wheel drive and 19 MPG city and 25 MPG highway with all-wheel drive. The Pilot shares its engine with its sibling, the 2024 Honda Passport, which results in the generation of the same 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. The Passports 9-speed automatic transmission provides smooth shifts and slightly more rugged performance. The Passport excels in off-road scenarios, especially with its standard i-VTM4 all-wheel-drive system on all trims. Towing capacity matches the Pilot at 5,000 pounds, while fuel efficiency is similar at 19 MPG city and 24 MPG highway.

Interior Highlights and Size Comparison

The 2024 Honda Pilot was designed with families in mind, offering versatile features and ample space to meet the needs of modern lifestyles. Most trims can accommodate up to eight passengers across three rows, ensuring everyone has a comfortable seat. A standout feature of the Touring and Elite models is the removable middle seat in the second row, which can be easily stowed under the cargo area floor when not in use, creating additional storage space for larger items. With an impressive 113.7 cubic feet of cargo space when the rear seats are folded, the Pilot leads its class in storage capacity. Family-friendly touches like 14 cup holders, designed to fit even 32-ounce water bottles, make it even more practical. Tech features include a 7-inch infotainment touchscreen as standard, with higher trims offering an upgraded 9-inch screen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration are standard across the lineup, with wireless versions, a wireless charging pad, and an upgraded 12-speaker Bose Audio System available on upper trims for added convenience and entertainment. The interior of the 2024 Honda Passport offers a similarly family-friendly design to the Pilot but with a focus on ruggedness and adventure-ready features. Seating up to five passengers across two rows, the 2024 Honda Passport provides a more spacious second row compared to the Pilot, catering to those who prioritize passenger comfort over maximum capacity. While it doesn't include the Pilot's innovative removable middle seat, the Passport boasts 50.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row, expanding to an impressive 100.8 cubic feet with the rear seats folded flat. Tech features include a standard 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and higher trims offer upgrades like wireless connectivity, a wireless charging pad, and a 10-speaker premium audio system. While the Passport lacks the Pilot's third row and some of its family-focused amenities, it compensates with durable materials and a cabin designed for active lifestyles, making it a standout option for adventure-seeking families or smaller groups.

Trim Highlights

Offering an extensive line-up of seven trim levels, the 2024 Honda Pilot has something for everyone in Modesto, Elk Grove, Lodi, and Sacramento. Starting with the LX trim, you'll find essentials like 18-inch wheels, LED headlights, a 7-inch infotainment screen, and seven versatile drive modes. The Sport trim builds on this with 20-inch wheels, LED fog lights, and heated front seats. For those prioritizing maximum seating capacity, the EX-L 8-passenger trim adds a power tailgate, leather upholstery, and a larger 9-inch infotainment touchscreen. The EX-L 7-passenger variant offers the same upgrades but swaps the second-row bench for captain's chairs and a convenient center pass-through. Off-road enthusiasts will love the TrailSport model, which comes equipped with an off-road-tuned suspension, all-wheel drive, underbody skid plates, trail-specific cameras, a panoramic sunroof, a heated steering wheel, and rugged all-weather floor mats. If luxury is your goal, the Touring trim delivers with a premium 12-speaker Bose audio system, a stowable second-row center seat, a hands-free power-operated tailgate, and the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation system. At the top of the range, the Elite trim offers unparalleled comfort and tech, including a 10.2-inch digital driver display, heated and ventilated front seats, second-row heated seats, a head-up display, multi-zone audio, and a heated steering wheel. Offering a more simplified trim line-up for sale at Stockton Honda, the 2024 Honda Passport comes in three well-equipped models, all featuring standard all-wheel drive for enhanced capability. The base EX-L trim provides a strong foundation with 20-inch wheels, a power-operated liftgate, three-zone climate control, leather upholstery, and an 8-inch touchscreen equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless connectivity. Like the Pilot, for those who love adventure, the TrailSport trim adds rugged off-road features, including a trail-ready suspension, all-terrain tires, and an off-road-inspired exterior design. Inside, you'll find leather seating with unique orange stitching, ambient interior lighting, a built-in navigation system, and practical all-weather floor mats to handle the elements. At the top of the lineup, the Black Edition delivers a bold and luxurious experience, featuring distinctive black exterior accents, a black grille, and gloss black 20-inch wheels. Inside, perforated red leather seating with red stitching creates a striking look, complemented by a 10-speaker 540-watt premium audio system. Additional conveniences include a hands-free access power tailgate, adding a touch of sophistication to this trim's adventurous spirit.
