Comparison Overview

Deciding between the sleek 2025 BMW X2 ($42,850) and the robust 2025 Honda Passport ($42,400) boils down to prioritizing efficiency versus outright utility. If maximizing your daily driving distance is key, the X2 wins easily with a 28 MPG combined rating versus the Passport's 21 MPG. However, if hauling gear is your main concern, the Passport offers an enormous 50.5 cubic feet of cargo space—nearly double the X2’s 25.3 cu ft. While the Passport boasts 280 hp compared to the X2’s 241 hp, the X2 compensates with better fuel economy and the flexibility of running on regular unleaded (recommended, though specs list premium) versus the Passport's standard regular fuel. Furthermore, the X2 is notably smaller, measuring 179.3 inches long, making city maneuvering easier than the larger 189.1-inch Passport.
