Are you looking for a new two-row SUV with plenty of space and an incredible array of features? If so, you should look at the 2025 Honda Passport. This two-row SUV sits in the midsize class, so it’s got a roomy interior and lots of cargo capacity. It’s also known for its signature Honda driving experience and a generous list of standard safety equipment.
So, let’s see how the 2025 Passport compares with the 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee, an excellent challenger to select. Our Honda vs Jeep match-up will focus on three key aspects: interior, safety, and performance specifications. Once we’ve conducted our evaluation, you’ll easily see which two-row SUV is better to buy in Riverhead, NY. You can also find out which 2025 Passport trim is most suitable by talking to our team at Apple Honda.
The 2025 Honda Passport and the 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee can accommodate up to five adults in their passenger cabins. For the 2025 Passport, all trims come with leather upholstery, plus heated and power-adjustable front seats. Higher trims of the 2025 Passport also include ventilated front seats and heated outboard rear seats.
Then, every 2025 Passport gets active noise cancellation. This system actively monitors and filters out road and engine noise from reaching the passenger cabin. Meanwhile, an active control engine mount system minimizes powertrain vibrations. Hence, all occupants in a 2025 Passport will enjoy a smooth and peaceful ride. The 2025 Grand Cherokee doesn’t come with similar systems.
Then, the 2025 Passport gets standard tri-zone automatic temperature control, while the 2025 Grand Cherokee has a dual-zone system. Every 2025 Passport also comes with a lockable glove box, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, and a HomeLink® remote system. The 2025 Grand Cherokee doesn’t have some of these features. Both two-row SUVs have front plus rear cup holders and USB charging ports, sunglasses holders, sliding sun visors with vanity mirrors, and map lights.
Buyers of either model will get standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. The 2025 Passport and the 2025 Grand Cherokee also have Bluetooth® and SiriusXM™ for all trims. Higher trims of the 2025 Passport come with a 10-speaker 540-watt sound system, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a HondaLink® subscription. The 2025 Grand Cherokee offers a McIntosh sound system upgrade.
The cargo capacity of the 2025 Honda Passport is 41 cubic feet. This is better than the 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee’s 38 cubic foot trunk. Furthermore, the 2025 Passport has a 60-40 split-folding second row with one-touch fold capabilities. When fully folded, you can fit up to 78 cubic feet of cargo.
Honda equips the 2025 Passport with a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 engine. It delivers 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. It is paired with a 9-speed automatic gearbox. The gearbox also offers manual gear selection via steering wheel-mounted paddles. These are standard for all trims.
Moreover, the engine in the 2025 Passport comes with Honda’s Eco Assist™ system and idle-stop for optimal fuel economy. Eco Assist™ helps the driver fine-tune their driving style via visual prompts via the vehicle’s gauge cluster. A key fob-activated remote engine starter is also standard, allowing you to pre-cool or pre-heat the interior of your 2025 Passport.
The 2025 Passport range is exclusively all-wheel drive. All trims get Honda’s i-VTM4 intelligent all-wheel drive system. The system includes an intelligent traction control management system. Then, the driver can select from various modes, including Snow, Sand, and Mud. Hill start assist is also included for all trims. Moreover, the TrailSport trim gets special off-road optimized suspension and all-terrain tires.
Jeep offers the 2025 Grand Cherokee with a 3.6-liter naturally aspirated V6. The engine makes 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. It is connected to an 8-speed automatic gearbox. Some trims also get paddle shifters on the steering wheel. Rear-wheel drive is standard, but buyers can opt for one of several four-wheel drive systems.
The 2025 Passport comes equipped with the Honda Sensing® suite as standard. All trims benefit from a road departure mitigation system, a collision mitigation braking system, and a forward collision warning feature. A blind-spot information system, lane departure warning, and lane-keeping assist system are also standard. All trims also get a cross-traffic monitor, adaptive cruise control, and front plus rear parking sensors. Meanwhile, the 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee has some of these features, but others are options.
