Two robust and high-performing Honda SUVs tailored to your lifestyle

At Lombardi Honda, your Honda dealership in Montreal, we understand how important it is to choose the right SUV for your daily life and weekend getaways. Today, we're comparing two heavyweights in the category: the 2025 Honda Pilot and the 2025 Honda Passport. These two rugged, well-equipped vehicles are built to meet similar — but not identical — needs. Here’s everything you need to help you choose the best one for your lifestyle.

Power and performance: same engine, different philosophies

Under the hood, both SUVs are powered by a 3.5L V6 direct-injection engine, delivering up to 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. They also share a 10-speed automatic transmission for smooth and efficient driving.

• The 2025 Pilot, equipped with the second-generation i-VTM4 AWD system, offers a smoother ride ideal for both city roads and long journeys.

• The 2025 Passport, on the other hand, is clearly geared toward adventure, featuring off-road-tuned suspension and tools like Hill Descent Control and the Honda TrailWatch™ system — perfect for rugged terrain.

Towing and adventure capabilities

For outdoor enthusiasts, both SUVs boast a towing capacity of up to 5,000 lbs. The Passport emphasizes adventure with smart camping accessories and storage (generator, folding chairs, etc.), while the Pilot focuses on comfort in all conditions with a variety of drive modes (Econ, Snow, Sport, Tow, Trail, and Sand).

Interior: comfort and capacity

• The 2025 Honda Pilot offers 7- or 8-passenger seating with flat-folding benches and generous space — ideal for large families. Heated and ventilated seats and a heated steering wheel ensure comfort year-round.

• The 2025 Passport seats up to 5 passengers but stands out with its 60/40 split-folding seats, spacious trunk, and hands-free tailgate access.

Both models feature modern connectivity, including a 7- or 9-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™ integration, and a premium sound system in Touring versions.

Safety and technology

Both models come standard with the Honda Sensing® suite, which includes:

• Adaptive Cruise Control

• Forward Collision Warning with Emergency Braking

• Lane Keeping Assist

• And more

Visibility is also enhanced with front and rear cameras, integrated washer nozzles, and auto-on LED headlights.

Exterior design: urban style or adventurous edge?

• The Pilot makes a bold statement with 20-inch wheels, a panoramic roof, muscular lines, and a redesigned front grille. The TrailSport trim adds an adventurous flair with Shark Grey wheels and synthetic leather seats.

• The Passport TrailSport Blackout features 18-inch black wheels and darkened badging for a bold, assertive road presence.

Fuel economy and efficiency

• The 2025 Pilot offers a combined fuel consumption of 11.0 to 11.8 L/100 km, with ECON mode and idle-stop technology to reduce emissions.

• The 2025 Passport delivers similar performance but places more emphasis on trail handling and dynamic off-road capability.
