$43,000 · Crossover

Comparison Overview

The 2025 Honda Passport fires a loud salvo with its robust 280 horsepower, instantly signaling rugged capability straight out of the box, while the 2025 INFINITI QX50 counters with a more refined, efficiency-focused punch. The Passport boasts superior grunt and a cavernous 50.5 cu ft of cargo space compared to the QX50's 31.4 cu ft, making it the brute-force hauler. Conversely, the QX50 shines in economy, achieving a significant 25 MPG combined rating versus the Passport's 21 MPG combined, a full 4 MPG advantage, which adds up over time. While both offer AWD, the Passport's greater height (72.2 inches vs 66.0 inches) hints at better ground clearance aspirations. The QX50 counters this with a greater torque figure (280 lb-ft vs 262 lb-ft), albeit requiring premium fuel. For raw utility and immediate power, the Passport leads, but the QX50 promises less pain at the pump and a slightly more compact footprint at 184.7 inches long.
