You’re a weekend warrior with a mission. On Friday evening, you’ll enjoy chilled Chardonnay with your spouse at a local vineyard. Hiking trails and kayaking await you on Saturday. Bottomless brunch on Sundays is your go-to, but you’re adding at-home car research to your itinerary this week!

Long weekends are the best times to catch up with friends and family and enjoy your favorite pastimes. Whether you choose a solo adventure or a crew-based activity, the Passport and the Pathfinder will easily handle your people and cargo.
A significant difference between the Honda and the Nissan is how many people they can carry. The Passport seats five, while the Pathfinder seats up to eight. Despite this difference, Honda tackles standard comfort differently than Nissan.
You’ll find these standard creature comforts on the Passport:
By comparison, the Pathfinder has a 6-way manual driver’s seat, cloth upholstery, and available heated front seats. After a closer look, it’s apparent that Honda puts your comfort first.
The Pathfinder may be better suited for your larger crew, but the Passport prioritizes your gear! Without a third row, this Honda SUV makes extra room for suitcases, coolers, beach chairs—you name it. Let’s explore both vehicles’ cargo capacities below:

Nissan Pathfinder

|---|---|---|
| Behind First Row | 100.8 cubic feet | 80.5 cubic feet |
| Behind Second Row | 50.5 inches | 45 inches |
The added spatial flexibility of the Passport allows for more adventure opportunities.
Protection comes in all shapes and sizes. It could be a bike helmet, a bottle of sunscreen, a first-aid kit, or extra granola bars just because. In the Honda and the Nissan, safety comes in the form of driver assistance! How do their safety suites stack up, though?
Honda and Nissan are forerunners in automotive safety. The Passport and the Pathfinder include brand-specific safety suites on every trim level! What do Honda Sensing® and Nissan Safety Shield® 360 have in common? Let’s find out:
Security features like these will make you feel utterly composed and confident behind the wheel.
You want an easy drive home after a long day of shopping at an out-of-town mall. The Honda’s Adaptive Cruise Control feature will help take the edge off your lengthy commute by adapting to the speed of the vehicles ahead so you don’t have to. It will even maintain a safe following distance too.
The Nissan has a similar feature, ProPILOT Assist, and it’s available on higher trims.
Technology is everywhere. It’s digital billboards on turnpikes, flashing neon signs at your favorite dive bar, or a menu QR code at the local ice creamery. In the Passport and the Pathfinder, technology is right at your fingertips.
An 8-inch touchscreen display functions as your central entertainment hub in either SUV. Its generous size will help you easily see directions from your navigation system or who is singing the current song you’re listening to.
Speaking of songs, you can also queue up your go-to playlist with Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and Bluetooth® in either model.
Do you want to stay connected to friends and family while you go on your next adventure? These SUVs make it easy to do so with these features:
If you’re venturing off-grid, it’s best to maintain a pulse on society. The Honda’s standard wireless phone charger will be your lifeline. This feature is available on the Nissan.
When the weekend rolls around, the 2023 Passport and the 2023 Pathfinder will be ready to take you on any adventure near Santa Ana, Mission Viejo, or Tustin, CA. However, with its optimized cabin, cruise control feature, and advanced technology, we believe the Honda will bolster your weekend warrior proclivities.
