Outback vs. Passport and RAV4: Common Questions
Is the Subaru Outback or Honda Passport a better value?
The 2027 Outback starts at $32,995 MSRP versus about $44,950 for the 2026 Passport, and it earns 27 mpg combined versus 21 mpg. The Passport makes more power (285 hp) and tows more (5,000 lb), so it suits buyers who tow heavier trailers.
Which has more ground clearance, the Outback Wilderness or the Passport TrailSport?
The Outback Wilderness has 9.5 inches of ground clearance, more than the roughly 8.3 inches on the Passport. The Wilderness also adds all-terrain tires, Dual-Mode X-MODE, and adaptive dampers.
Should I buy a Subaru Outback or a Toyota RAV4?
The Outback offers more maximum cargo space (80.5 versus about 70 cubic feet), standard AWD on every trim, and an available 260-hp turbo. The 2026 RAV4 is sold only as a hybrid and gets much better fuel economy. If you want hybrid efficiency in a Subaru, look at the Forester Hybrid.
