Key Differences – 2020 Toyota Highlander vs 2019 Honda Passport

One of the main factors that sets the Highlander apart from the 2019 Honda Passport is its available hybrid model option. Drivers can opt for a Highlander Hybrid model powered by a high-efficiency 2.5-liter DOHC 4-cylinder engine paired to two electric motors. The Toyota Hybrid System in the Highlander Hybrid models allows these Toyota vehicles to generate an impressive 240 horsepower and earn an estimated 34 combined mpg. Gas-powered Highlander models are fitted with a 3.5-liter V6 engine under their hoods with 295 horsepower and 263 pound-feet of torque on tap. The gas-powered Highlander models offer a manufacturer-estimated 22 combined mpg. The competing 2019 Honda Passport offers one power option among its lineup – a SOHC i-VTEC® V6 engine – and delivers an EPA-estimated 22 combined mpg. When picking a 2020 Highlander, drivers have the option of seven or eight passenger seats, choosing between a three-passenger second-row bench or two Captain’s Chairs. The Highlander L and LE come standard with eight passenger seats, while the XLE, Limited and Platinum models are fitted with two Captain’s Chairs. The Highlander XLE and Limited offer Captain’s Chairs in place of the second-row bench for drivers looking to open up more space in the second row. The competing 2019 Honda Passport offers to seat just five passengers with no seating adjustment options available to increase capacity.
