The All New 2026 Honda Passport Vs. Toyota 4Runner

Interior Space and Comfort

Slip into the cabin of either of these models and you'll find ample passenger and cargo room in both. The Honda Passport offers 157 cubic feet of total passenger volume, with generous headroom and legroom in both rows. Drivers in Milledgeville will also appreciate the expansive cargo area that provides over 77 cubic feet of space with the rear seats folded down, making it easy to load up gear for weekend getaways or home improvement projects.

The Toyota 4Runner has a taller, more boxy profile that translates to great headroom but less overall passenger volume at 128 cubic feet. Its cargo capacity maxes out around 88 cubic feet, which is slightly more than the Passport but comes at the cost of a more utilitarian interior with cheaper-looking plastics and less refined fit and finish.

Passengers in both SUVs will stay comfortable on trips outside Forsyth thanks to available leather upholstery, multi-zone automatic climate control, and ventilated front seats. The Passport's front seats offer superior comfort and support, with more adjustability and cushioning than the 4Runner's. Rear-seat passengers will also find more stretch-out space in the Passport. Plus, the Passport's cabin is noticeably quieter due to superior sound insulation and acoustic glass, making for a more pleasant driving experience on long highway trips.

Safety

All vehicles are designed to keep you safe, but not all models come with the same level of safety. Because of that, the Honda Passport clearly outshines the 4Runner in this department. With enhanced Honda Sensing, the new Passport offers plenty of new and updated safety features.

There's adaptive cruise control, which maintains a set distance from the vehicle ahead and can automatically slow down or speed up as needed. Lane keeping assist gently nudges the Passport back to the center of its lane if it starts to drift, while blind spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert watches your blind spots and warns you of approaching vehicles when changing lanes or backing out of parking spots near Forsyth.

The Passport also offers an innovative Road Departure Mitigation system that can detect if you cross over lane lines and a 360-degree camera system which stitches together views from four exterior cameras to create a birds-eye view of the Passport's surroundings.

While Toyota Safety Sense is standard on the 4Runner, with pre-collision warning and lane departure alert, it lacks some of the Passport's more advanced features like blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and road departure mitigation. Blind spot monitoring is optional on higher 4Runner trims, and no 360-degree camera system is available on any trim level.
