When the Pilot’s too big and the CR-V is too small, the 2020 Honda Passport two-row crossover SUV is just the ticket.
Pros Comfortable interior Refined on the road Decent off-road chops Good 8.0-inch touchscreen on some models
Cons 9-speed automatic is a little confused Expensive in top models Not too adventurous in style Not as tough as some may need
The Passport returns largely unchanged for 2020.
Pros Spacious interior with lots of passenger space Comfortable front seats Enhanced off-road ability Many clever storage compartments
Cons Adaptive cruise control is only available over 20 mph Driver's seat might be positioned a little too high for some people
For 2020, Honda doesn't make any meaningful changes to the Passport lineup. This is to be expected since the company just re-released the two-row crossover last year.
Pros Loads of cargo and passenger space, speedy powertrain, copious standard driver assists.
Cons Looks more rugged than it is, only top trims have top options, rides rough on bumpy roads.
Audi has introduced the fastback Q5 Sportback model for 2021.
PROS Slick looks, stylish interior, plenty of technology features.
CONS Not as capacious as some rivals, short on driving character, stingy complimentary maintenance plan.
Audi Introduces the first Q5 Sportback generation for 2021.
PROS Quiet, comfortable cabin Top-notch interior craftsmanship Lots of standard equipment, including all-wheel drive Wide array of technology options
CONS Less overall storage space than standard Q5
“Sportier Sportback does well to not compromise on practicality, but you’ll pay a premium for odd looks ”
PROS Impressively practical despite the roof, interior is still top of the class
CONS It will give you an existential crisis. What is it all for?
