2023 Honda Passport / 2023 Toyota 4Runner

2023 Honda Passport Compared to the 2023 Toyota 4Runner 

SUVs like the 2023 Honda Passport are great choices for everyday mid-Michigan driving needs.  They combine reliable performance with an interior equipped with plenty of features drivers and their passengers desire for modern convenience and entertainment. The Passport makes any trip around Michigan much more enjoyable with standard AWD handling and a wide array of infotainment options. This helps the Passport compare favorably against similar SUVs such as the 2023 Toyota 4Runner.  

Performance 

Honda does more with the 3.5L V6 engine under the hood of the 2023 Passport than Toyota does with a larger 4.0L V6 engine in the 4Runner. The Honda delivers 280 horsepower while the 4Runner only reaches 270. Additionally, the Passport is designed to be a capable all-season family cruiser in mid-Michigan regardless of trim level. Thanks to the standard AWD platform the SUV rides on, drivers of a Passport can be confident they are behind the wheel of a reliable vehicle. Meanwhile, the 4Runner comes with standard RWD handling which makes driving in winter much more challenging. Customers must opt for a more expensive version of the Toyota to get similar handling proficiency as the Passport.   

Interior Features 

When passengers step into a 2023 Passport, they are treated to an SUV that caters to their needs all year round. This includes having heated functionality in the front seats on every trim of the Honda. The Toyota lacks this premium comfort feature in its standard SR5 trim level. Honda Passport occupants also get the convenience of a Qi wireless smartphone charger for compatible devices to help keep those devices topped off with much less hassle. Both vehicles come with plenty of high-end infotainment amenities to enjoy. They include SiriusXM® radio capability and various smartphone connection applications such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.  

Safety Features 

The standard AWD platform that every 2023 Honda Passport gives drivers substantially more reliable grip on a variety of road surfaces when compared to the standard RWD platform on the 2023 Toyota 4Runner. When it comes to taking on busy everyday traffic, both SUVs are equipped with features such as Automatic Emergency Braking and Blind Spot Monitoring to help drivers remain aware of what is going on around them. Adaptive Cruise Control is a premium feature that comes standard on both vehicles and helps make vacationing in either vehicle much less tiring for the driver.
