Does the Honda Passport Have the Same Engine As the Pilot?
Yes -- both the 2024 Honda Passport and new Pilot feature a standard 3.5-liter V6 engine. However, the Pilot version of the powertrain delivers slightly more horsepower than the Passport -- 285 vs. 280, respectively.
The new Honda Passport features Torque-Vectoring AWD as standard, making it ready to take on whatever off-road excursions you have planned. The Pilot, meanwhile, comes with standard 2WD -- though it does offer this same AWD system as available. Because 2WD models tend to be more fuel-efficient than their AWD counterparts, the base Pilot model offers slightly better fuel efficiency over the Passport.
