While it may have appeared as though the new 2024 Subaru Outback and the new 2024 Honda Passport were similar SUVs, the chart above disproves that theory.

You'll notice the Subaru Outback is the more fuel efficient of the two, with an EPA-estimated 28 mpg combined.³ The Honda Passport only gets an EPA-estimated 21 mpg combined.⁴ If you plan to go offroading in your SUV, the Subaru Outback has higher ground clearance at 9.5 inches, standard LED fog lights and standard raised roof rails. The Honda Passport only has a maximum ground clearance of 8.1 inches, and if you'd like LED fog lights or roof rails, you'll have to pay for a higher, more expensive trim. Upgrading trims to receive better features isn't anything new, but when you realize that the 2024 Honda Passport has a starting MSRP that's $12,205 more than the 2024 Subaru Outback,^1,2 those premiums become more grievous.
