2025 Honda Pilot vs Passport near Arlington, VA

2025 Honda Passport

2025 Honda Pilot Elite in Platinum White Pearl (left) and 2025 Honda Passport Black Edition in Sonic Gray Pearl (right) shown above with optional features. 

Honda is a brand that is known for its quality SUVs. For that reason, it is understandable if you are still trying to decide between midsize options like the 2025 Pilot and 2025 Passport. To see how these models compare, read this synopsis prepared by Pohanka Honda!

Interior

One of the main areas where the Pilot and Passport differ is in their respective cabins. The former has eight standard seats across three rows, while the latter is home to five chairs for your guests. While both models are considered midsize SUVs, the Pilot has a total of 158.4 cubic ft. of passenger space and the Passport comes with 114.9 cubic ft. of room. That being said, the Passport is the vehicle with more cargo space when all the seats are upright, as it boasts up to 50.5 cubic ft. of storage room1 in its trunk. This is compared to 21.8 cubic ft. of volume1 in the Pilot, though it has more space if you fold the back two rows down. In terms of comfort, these two vehicles are fairly similar, both providing you with standard tri-zone automatic climate control technology during your trips to Potomac Overlook Regional Park. 

Exterior

Now that you’re familiar with the interior designs of the 2025 Honda Pilot and the 2025 Honda Passport, you might be curious about their outer shells. The Passport starts off strong by offering a standard one-touch power moonroof, and the Pilot has a similar panoramic option on higher trim levels. The Passport and Pilot each have an available TrailSport trim level offering rugged features like gloss black roof rails and.power-folding side mirrors. The Pilot TrailSport even has underbody skid plates and a gloss black front grille! Both cars come with standard 20-inch wheels to create an imposing presence when you drive down I-395. On the other hand, the Honda Pilot has a set of standard LED fog lights to help you see clearly around Arlington, and higher trim levels of the Passport have access these as well. 

Engineering

Turn your attention to the powertrains of these SUVs to become truly impressed with their capabilities. They both feature standard 3.5L V6 engines, but the Pilot manages to be very slightly more potent than the Passport. The former achieves 285 horsepower2 and 262 lb.-ft. of torque3, while the latter produces 280 horsepower4 and 262 lb.-ft. of torque5. If you prefer to go off the beaten track from time to time, then the Passport’s standard AWD system will be right up your alley. The Pilot has this drivetrain as an available upgrade, and its standard 10-speed automatic transmission is known to be incredibly smooth and speedy. The 9-speed system in the Passport is still a great option, and both cars come with standard paddle shifters. Come test-drive both of them at our dealership!

I am always pleased with Pohanka Honda's Service Department. The team there are always professional, knowledgeable, and very personable. Even though I bought my 2019 Honda from another Honda dealership and got discouraged at my treatment there, I tried Pohanka's service department and have been overwhelmingly pleased ever since. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a video recording from the technician/mechanic of recommended services for my vehicle. That was a nice touch. My sincere appreciation to Pohanka.

Hello, my 2026 Honda CR-V was due its first maintenance service. On May 18, 2026, I was greeted by Jacqueline. She was assigned to me and she made sure I was totally satisfied before leaving Pohanka parking lot. Jacqueline was professional, pleasant, she assisted me with my questions, washed my car and help me with setting the drivers seat settings. I received excellent service as always. Keep up the awesome work, Jacqueline.

I bought my car in because it cut off on me several times and I had to get it jumped. My service advisor was Kevin Moran and he was so pleasant and professional he answered my questions, explained what was done and what I should expect down the road. He greeted me with a smile . I would love to have Kevin as my advisor every time. Because of Kevin's professional service, on a scale of 1-10, I would rate him a 100!! 😀

Whenever I go for service my service pro is always knowledgeable. I like that I may be given a courtesy ride home or an area to relax while I wait for my car. Unfortunately the complimentary car was is never satisfactory. I am not looking for a detail but I would like for the exterior to be clean. They must do better than just rinsing my car off with the hose. Next time I will post pics of not sufficient.

My last visit to Pohanka Honda was very smooth. I went in expecting a long wait and a ton of problems with my car, but Kevin got my car in front of a mechanic very quickly and the diagnosis of the issues was very thorough. All in all, it was a solid mechanic/dealership experience.
