The CRV is nice, but I like the Passport better. The Passport wasn't even on my radar until I saw one in the parking lot and was like, "What is that?" I love the size of it, the interior space without it having a 3rd row. I can't wait to see what the new redesigned Passport looks like, but I would still get the current model.

Moved from a 2019 CRV to a 2023 Passport Elite ($2000.00 off MSRP). I prefer the Passport for room, drive train, spare tire and comfort. Fuel mileage not a big issue.

i test drove a new crv and new passport back to back, and the winner is easily the passport. the seats are better, and the adjustable armrest is so nice on the highway. cargo space in the center is also a win. im hoping a refresh will update the front end and infotainment but other than that, the simple 9spd trans and amazing Honda 3.5 V6 work together beautifully.

Just purchased a Passport EX-L Loving it so far (2 weeks). I finally had to let my 18 y/o Honda Element go. It served me well!!!!

Passport's design is simple but still beautiful and much more powerful than CRV.

I love all Hondas I more prefer the passport and I like more horsepower 3.5 liter V6 280 Horsepower. I don't like the CVT

Honda’s don’t have sunroofs, they have Moonroofs. Loving our 22 Passport Trailsport.

We just bought a new Honda. These are the 2 we looked at. I really dislike the new dash on the CRV. The vented look, but not actually vents is ridiculous. I like the rear look of the CRV, but the front of the Passport. I love love love the center console on the Passport. Also, it was important to us that the back seats lay down flat with the cargo area. I believe the CRV will do that, but with some extra effort to eliminate the hump. Finally, I love the push button. I came from a vehicle that had the shifter on the coumn, so it wasnt a big deal. I also know that not having a tradtional shifter is cleaner looking and gets that knob out of the way.
We ended up buying a Passport. It was the size and smooth ride that did it for us. But I think the CRV is a great option at a lower price point.

Put a hold on a 23’ CRV EXL and walked out with a ‘23’ Passport EXL. Best decision I ever made. Love it.

Loved the video! I often wish there were move videos comparing between the models and not just between trims, thanks for the video!

The Passport tows 5K WITH the addition of the trans oil cooler which by the way is an accessory...in other words an additional cost.

[VCHAuMiner]

I prefer the price and fuel mileage of the crv, but the passport is more practical for me.

I like the Pilot, Passport, and CRV. I don't need the 3rd row seating of a Pilot but I do like the towing capacity. The CRV only has a 4 cylinder and the towing capacity is minuscule. The Passport fits my needs - 2 row seating w/ towing capacity. The Pilot and the Passport share the same engine and 9 speed conventional trans. The CVT trans on the CRV is a deal killer.

Great video and one that will be looked at by many folks faced with this situation. One good use for the Passport footboard that I see is while washing the top of the car.

excellent video & comparison. Thank you!

As a single guy who likes to go on the occasional weekend adventure and don’t care for a third row oversized vehicle, but don’t want a girly CR-V or HR-V, I love the idea of a “rugged” 5 passenger, spacious, off-road capable Passport TrailSport, but I do like the fuel efficiency of the new CR-V hybrid… Hopefully Honda will redesign the Passport TrailSport with the same lines as the new Pilot but a shorter wheelbase, add the super capable torque vectoring I-VTM4 AWD system and keep the V6 engine or offer a hybrid option. That would be a sweet ride!

I love my 2022 Passport. Just wish the rear turn signals were amber to match the front ones

First, my short wife would really like a passenger power seat that will adjust up. Neither the CRV or the Passport offers that feature but she finds that the passenger seat in the Passport does seem to sit higher and offers a better view than the CRV. Second I dont care for the info screen that juts up out of the dash. I prefer the built in look and better view of the Passport. Thanks

[marklundegren]

Thanks for the thoughtful comparison. Though I would prefer a hybrid, both the uneven floor and lack of underfloor storage in the CR-V are showstoppers for me, as I want the option to easily camp in my vehicle on weekends.

I love the CRV tail light design much better than any of the other Honda cars and SUV.
