The Ability to Go Anywhere

The Subaru Outback has 18-inch wheels and all-wheel drive making it well-equipped for inclement weather. This compact SUV is even perfect for all four seasons in Wisconsin.

The Subaru Outback is an excellent choice for the adventurer-at-heart. At first glance, it might seem like the Honda Passport has a higher ground clearance than the Subaru Outback.

All About the Interior
Perhaps one of the most notable interior specs is the massive touchscreen. This 11.6-inch screen guides you with navigation, allows Bluetooth connectivity, and is easy to read. Also, the dash consists of far less plastic than the Passport. Although the Subaru Outback has more affordable trim levels, the Subaru Outback interior appears more futuristic than the Honda Passport interior.
For Middleton families, the Subaru Outback would be a great option for the interior alone. The Outback has more head and leg room in the front than the Honda Passport. The front seats provide stability and comfort for long road trips, and the rear seating is open and comfortable. The spacious interior makes family road trips easier, while the Bluetooth connectivity and twelve-speaker sound system make them more fun.
Protect Your Wallet, Family, and the Environment
Speaking of road trips, the Subaru Outback has significantly better fuel economy than the Honda Passport. The Passport gets 19 mpg in the city and only 24 mpg on the highway. The Outback, on the other hand, gets 26 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway.*
Lastly, safety should not be overlooked. The Subaru Outback earns five stars in the frontal barrier crash rating compared to the Honda Passport's four stars. The Outback also earns five stars in the frontal barrier crash rating on the passenger side while the Passport received four stars. The Subaru Outback helps protect your family, and it also helps protect our planet.
