TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 Honda Passport makes tremendous sense for buyers who don’t need three rows of seats.

The 2019 Subaru Outback makes a sensible crossover SUV alternative.

TCC Likes

Spacious interior
Strong V-6 engine
Excellent ride quality

Like a crossover SUV, but better
No shortage of safety gear
Spacious, refined interior

TCC Dislikes

Unimpressive fuel economy
Some cheap bits inside
Base Sport lacks tech features

6-cylinder engine guzzles fuel…
… but 4-cylinder can feel pokey
Starting to show its age here and there
