2026 Subaru Outback vs. Honda Passport

2026 Subaru Outback driving down the side of a dirt hill. 

The 2026 Subaru Outback gives you incredible strength and power output when you hit the open road. It's perfect for off-road driving thanks to the impressive handling and performance features, and Jensen Subaru customers can attest to that fact. When you compare this vehicle to other adventurous SUVs like the 2026 Honda Passport, it's easy to see why Subaru wins the day over the competition.

Passenger Space

When you head out into the great unknown, you're going to want space to get comfortable. The 2026 Subaru Outback gives you plenty. In the front of the vehicle, you'll have up to 41 inches of headroom to help you fit behind the wheel. The 2026 Honda Passport can only give you up to 40.5 inches of headroom in the front.

Visitors to our Sioux City, IA, Subaru dealership also love the expansive legroom. It measures 43 inches in the front, helping you stretch out your legs and relax behind the wheel. By contrast, the 2026 Honda Passport features 41.1 inches of legroom in the front.

Low Traction Driving

Driving into snow or mud is a challenge that the 2026 Subaru Outback is ready to rise to. That's thanks to the standard X-MODE®, which optimizes steering and power output to help you navigate across slippery surfaces without sliding out. This unique feature comes standard on all Subaru Outback trims, but it isn't available on the 2026 Honda Passport.

Engine Torque

When it comes to driving off the beaten path, high torque output is important-and that's where the 2026 Subaru Outback shines. This new Subaru SUV takes advantage of its available 2.4-liter turbocharged engine to generate 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. That's plenty of power for off-roading. The 2026 Honda Passport can only generate up to 262 lb-ft of torque with its standard V6 engine.
