2025 Honda PasportTrailSport in Lunar Silver Metallic with Honda Genuine Accessories (left) and the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander (right) shown above.
Researching the next midsize SUV that you’ll be driving primarily through Houston for next few years can often involve weeks of thorough research for customers here at Honda of Tomball, as it’ll be a major asset to your household. We recommend the 2025 Honda Passport to those in search of a car in this category, and we’ve also pitted it against a popular competitor as a means of keeping the discovery process interesting. Read ahead for this comparison guide on the 2025 Honda Passport and the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander!
Performance
Both the Honda Passport and Mitsubishi Outlander need capable powertrains to move passengers, supplies, and groceries around town. However, one is more potent than the other, and this ground goes to Honda’s entry due to its standard 3.5L V6 engine. It makes 280 horsepower1 and 262 lb.-ft. of torque, which is much more than the 181 horsepower and 181 lb.-ft. of torque made through the Outlander’s standard 2.5L 4-cylinder system. While Mitsubishi’s standard Continuously Variable Transmission leads to better efficiency, the Passport’s standard 9-speed automatic transmission is equipped with paddle shifters for additional control of how the SUV operates. The Honda Passport also outmuscles the Outlander in terms of how much weight it can pull, posing a 5,000-lb. maximum towing capacity2 compared to the latter model’s 2,000-lb maximum towing capacity(3.
Interior
Where buyers are likely to shift much of their attention when shopping for either the 2025 Honda Passport or the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander will be the cabin. If you’ll often be traveling to the Color Factory with your kids, Honda’s vehicle offers a lockable glove compartment to keep their smaller belongings safe and hidden from view. The Outlander is limited to its center console storage when it comes to sequestering valuables, which may not offer as much room. Your little ones even be calmer when occupying the Passport, as it comes with optional Red or Orange ambient LED lighting that augments the already cozy environment of this SUV. When they aren’t in the vehicle with you, fold down the second-row seats in either vehicle to expand their storage space. This is made easier in the Passport, as they are offered with a standard one-touch feature that makes the process of collapsing them a breeze.
Technology
Before you make your way through I-10 in either of these models, you'll want to enlist the help of a playlist or thrilling audiobook to pass the time by. Both SUVs offer smartphone connectivity via standard Android Auto™4, or Apple CarPlay®5, though you’ll have larger icons on the Honda Passport thanks to a standard 8-inch touchscreen display. If you were to compare the Outlander’s standard 7-inch infotainment system next to it, the difference in panel real estate would be immediately apparent. Honda’s model is also equipped with Speed-Sensitive Volume Compensation as standard, meaning that the sound levels will adjust according to how quickly or slowly you’re traveling. Such a unique amenity is absent from Mitsubishi’s contender, which is why we recommend you visit our location soon so that our sales staff can demonstrate how it works!

I greatly appreciated it and probably will be back to get services again. 10 out of 10 would recommend. ”

“ I had an amazing experience working with this dealership. I worked with a car salesperson named Nadia, and she was incredible from start to finish. She stayed with us throughout the entire process and truly helped us get the car of our dreams. Beyond being knowledgeable and professional, she has a fantastic personality that made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. The manager (we didn’t catch his name) was also very helpful and supportive. I’ve been coming to this dealership for years for service, and even though I don’t live close by, I continue to come back—and that really says it all. Also thanks to the service men, Malcom & Kenny who’ve helped me over the years, highly recommend! ”

“ DAWSON & CHARISSE Made it happen and I am beyond thankful. I just completed my first drive in my brand new 2026 Honda HRV with only 23 mi. Never did it cross my mind I would drive away in a vehicle like this. As a first time buyer purchasing a vehicle has been so stressful. At multiple Nissan dealerships and CarMax I told them exactly what I had to work with check stubs in hand financial statement told them exactly what I could afford they kept saying yes we can work with that we can get you approved bla bla bla. I gave up until today!!! They listened to what I had to work with they heard me and they didn't just tell me they actually put me in a vehicle and not one I had to just settle for it's one I feel in love with. I'm beyond thankful y'all were able to work with me and didn't come back with you need a Co-signer or a minimum of more then I had for down payment. ANYONE THAT IS EXPERIENCING THIS SAME THING PLEASE COME HERE YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!! ”
“ The experience at this dealership is always amazing with sales and service. The purchase of my new Accord was easy thanks to Nadia who has assisted us in the past with our Ridgeline. Nadia is very pleasant and easy to work out a deal and she know Honda vehicles very well. I highly recommend anyone looking to buy any Honda to feel confident that the team will help with getting you the best deal in town. The finance manager was a delight and made the final paperwork fast and simple. I give them a score of 10 across the board. 🙌🏾 🚙 ”
“ I brought my Honda in needing repairs and couldn’t be more impressed with the service. The service advisor, Dean Young, was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He took the time to sit with me and clearly explain the diagnostic report, which I really appreciated. There was no rushing or pressure to do or buy anything, just honest, thorough communication. The work was completed within the estimated timeframe, exactly as promised. Exceptional service from both the technicians and the entire service team. I’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend them to anyone needing reliable, trustworthy car care. ”
“ Lance has been my go to person at Tomball Honda for over a year now. As a Honda relationship builder Lance suites his current title perfectly. He provides top tier customer service, understanding, and patience every single time. So far, I have purchased two vehicles through him and I will continue to do so because of the great experiences I have had. Normally I do not post google reviews but because of my great experience I feel like it is very important to give credit to the great people working there. Thank you Lance once again! ”
“ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Experience with Lance Hamm at Honda of Tomball From start to finish, my experience purchasing my new Honda Civic was absolutely outstanding—and that is entirely thanks to Lance Hamm. Lance is kind, respectful, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about his customers. He went above and beyond to make sure I got an amazing deal (he price matched my bank with upgrades!) and felt confident and comfortable every step of the way. Car buying can often feel stressful, but Lance made the entire process smooth, pleasant, and even memorable. He was patient, transparent, and incredibly helpful, always taking the time to answer my questions and explain everything clearly. I never once felt rushed or pressured—just supported. It’s rare to come across someone who truly excels at both professionalism and customer service, and Lance absolutely does. It’s been 2 months and I’m beyond happy with my purchase and so grateful for the care and effort he put into making this such a positive experience. Honda of Tomball is lucky to have him, and I sincerely hope his hard work is recognized—he deserves every bonus and raise possible! If you’re considering buying a vehicle, do yourself a favor and ask for Lance. You won’t be disappointed. ”
“ The process at Honda of Tomball went well. Nadia Madrid was patient, easy to work with, and took the time to answer my questions without any pressure. The vehicle I was interested in was ready for me when I arrived, which I appreciated. Juliana Cole in finance explained everything clearly and made the paperwork easy to get through. I felt comfortable throughout the process and never rushed. Overall, I would recommend Honda of Tomball and working with both Nadia Madrid and Juliana Cole. M.Martinez ”
“ Nadia was great! ”
“ Had a great experience buying from Monica and the whole team at Honda Tomball. Would and will recommend to friends for future purchases ”
“ I was sooo lucky to have been assisted by Mr. Marc Anthony. From first point of contact I was impressed by his professionalism and person-ability (not a common combination might I add). After more than two months of back and forth between the collision center and insurance, multiple supplements, struggling to get to work and back and still maintaining preformance at my job, and moving, my vehicle was declared a total loss. With so many mixed emotions, Marc Anthony walked me beautifully and comfortably through the process of a major life purchase of what ended up being my first new car at the age of 34. Everything I could’ve wanted and many things I’ve never had, I ended up choosing the 2025 Honda Accord Sport-L with 10 miles. Anticipating a snow storm the following day, Marc was quickly able to get me through the process on a Saturday night, it was even lightly snowing by the time I left! What a beautiful memory! If I ever need another Honda, I’m calling Mark, and you should too!!! ”
“ Came in to buy my new vehicle and Nadia Madrid did amazing job, got the best deal on my new Honda Passport. I would definitely recommend to come and see Nadia at Tomball Honda!! ”
“ I recently purchased a vehicle from Honda of Tomball, and I can honestly say it was the smoothest dealership experience I’ve ever had. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and professional. Cameron, my sales consultant, was absolutely wonderful. He was knowledgeable, patient, and never once made me feel pressured. He took the time to listen to exactly what I was looking for and made sure I found the perfect fit. If you're heading in, definitely ask for Cameron—he treats you like a person, not just another sale. The efficiency didn’t stop there. Moving over to the finance department is usually the part people dread, but the financial consultant made the process incredibly easy. He was transparent, explained all the paperwork clearly, and got me through the final steps in record time without any "hidden" surprises. If you’re looking for a stress-free car buying process with a team that actually values your time, go to Honda of Tomball. Huge thanks to Cameron and the rest of the staff for the top-tier service! COULD NOT BE MORE HAPPIER WITH MY 2026 HR-V😍 ”
“ My experience with the service team was amazing from start to finish. I originally came in for recalls, but my gas tank door had also been giving me issues it wouldn’t unlatch, especially when I was about to pump gas. I was extremely frustrated since it had just started happening. Malcolm greeted me right away and reassured me that he would take care of everything and not to worry. I’m truly grateful for his patience and kindness. He was also able to find me more savings for the service I received. While the car was being serviced, he provided me with a loaner for the day, which was a really nice bonus and fun to drive something different. When I returned to pick up my car, Dean brought it around. His smile and personality are absolutely contagious. Alex also helped me explore other solutions for the gas tank door issue. He was very knowledgeable and so helpful he definitely made me feel much better about the situation for the time being. Overall, the entire service team was amazing. I was greeted every time I walked in, and the customer service did not go unnoticed. Thank you all for such a positive experience. ”
“ Nadia sold my parents a car, she is so helpful and kind. she came up with creative solutions to help us find the perfect car !! they are in love with there new civic sport hatchback !! i am so grateful for all of her help and kindness when we needed a new car desperately !! please come see nadia if you need a new car !! ”
“ I had a great experience purchasing a Honda CR-V Hybrid all thanks to Mykay. She was extremely professional, friendly, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. Mykay provided the best offer and there were several. I was extremely impressed at how seamless and stress-free she made the transaction. If you want a no pressure experience, Mykay is your gal. ”
“ Recently I got my first car from Honda, Nadia Franco and Jonathan Campos both helped me achieve what I was looking for in a first car, their time and patience and taking care of me as a client was phenomenal. Thank you Honda of tomball and to Nadia Franco and Jonathan Campos. ”
“ Great experience with Andrea she made my experience buying a Honda Accord smooth, stress-free, and genuinely enjoyable!! She was knowledgeable, patient, and transparent throughout the entire process, answering all my questions and making sure I felt confident in my purchase. Andrea never pressured me and truly listened to what I was looking for. I couldn’t be happier with my Honda Accord or the level of service I received. I highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional car salesperson! ”
“ Jose was a great guy to converse with! So sweet and knowledgeable as well, I love my CR-V :) ”
“ Had an amazing experience — Mark Anthony was extremely helpful in guiding me to the perfect choice, he even got me an unbelievable deal on a CR-V. Was treated with genuine respect and honesty. Would recommend looking here first if you’re in the market for a car! ”
“ I visited Honda Of Tomball and Cameron was very helpful and I had an excellent experience! Would highly recommend to see Cameron. ”
“ My wife and I went to Honda of Tomball to purchase a new vehicle for her. We weren't quite sure what she wanted. Kim Williams assisted us by asking pertinent questions, listening to our answers, and providing excellent guidance. We ended up with a hybrid Accord, and my wife loves it. Once we selected the vehicle, Kim was very transparent about pricing and made the whole process easy to understand. Peter Hoang in finance was also very nice, very clear, and explained everything quite well. At no point during the process from first arrival to inquire about vehicles to final departure with a new vehicle did we ever feel pressured or feel that the process was anything but above board and transparent. This was, by far, the most pleasant and enjoyable car buying experience I've had. I highly recommend them. ”
“ Ask for Kimberly Williams, she gave me an amazing deal on a brand new honda odyssey. I was expecting it to take weeks to find the right price and Kimberly beat the best offers I could find and made the whole process very quick. I've called all the big dealers and Noone could beat Kimberly's price. Another sales rep from a rival dealer said whoever gave me the price must have been drunk. So soon as he said that I knew I had a great deal. Juliana the finance manager was also very helpful, I came in pre-approved from my personal bank and she actually beat their rate by almost 1% which is a big deal. Everyone here was awesome. Will definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone looking for a Honda. ”
“ My wife and I had an excellent experience at this dealership from start to finish. Saadman, my salesman, was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about helping me find the right car—not just making a sale. He was patient, answered all my questions, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Peter in finance was just as outstanding. He explained everything clearly, worked hard to get me the best possible deal, and made the paperwork process quick and easy with no pressure or surprises. The whole team was honest, efficient, and welcoming. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase and highly recommend this dealership—especially Saadman and Peter—if you’re looking for a great car-buying experience ”
“ I had a great experience purchasing my Honda CR-V thanks to Dawson Borne. He was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. Dawson took the time to understand my needs, answered all my questions, and made the transaction smooth and stress-free. Peter in finance was also excellent — clear, organized, and helpful in walking me through everything. I truly appreciated their transparency and customer service. Highly recommend working with this team! ”
“ Had a great experience today at Honda of Tomball with Cameron! I came in thinking there was no way I would walk out w a car but they fought for me and put me in a proper ride. I said goodbye to my beloved POS and said hello to my beautiful new sexy transportation. Cameron was hospitable, transparent and honest. Highly recommended for your automobile needs. Ask for him next time you come through. 5 star experience. 🤩🤩🤩🤩 ”
“ (Translated by Google) undefined (Original) Cameron was so helpful , he was so patient with us, he has a great personality of being understanding and kind . We requested him every time we came to the dealership. ”

“ (Translated by Google) undefined (Original) Recommended, I’m from Chicago and was helped to get my new vehicle. David Romero was helpful through the whole process making it an easy and pleasant experience, reliable and attentive. Thank you guys ”
“ (Translated by Google) undefined (Original) My wife and I went to Honda of Tomball to trade in her Mazda for something better. With the help of Keelan Sanders and Peter in finance, we were able to get something better then what we originally wanted. They both were very professional and very helpful. Went there for a used Toyota ch-r and ended up leaving with a Honda HR-V. She's loves it. Thank you so much for your help. ”
“ (Translated by Google) undefined (Original) I cant believe I actually found an honest car dealership! Just bought my HR-V from Jose, the experience was straightforward, with no haggling and no sneaky business practices. Jose is friendly and knowledgeable, the general manager is reasonable. They did exactly what they said they were going to do over the phone & did not try to add any hidden fees to the final price. Price was the best I could find in the city of Houston! Definitely worth the drive, after being scammed at the majority of Honda dealerships all over Houston. Will only buy from here in the future. ”
“ I had an excellent experience buying my car here. The whole team was knowledgeable, honest, and made the entire process stress-free. All my questions were answered clearly, and there was no pressure at any point. Highly recommended! Special thanks to Monica because of whom we were able to close the deal real quick. She has a great coordination and welcoming nature and to the point. ”
“ Staff was excellent, friendly, professional, and efficient. They get 5 stars for being there. One small suggestion: the waiting area feels very clinical and high-stimulus (bright lighting, lots of ads), which can make longer waits feel unnecessarily stressful. A few comfort-focused tweaks could really improve the experience. ”
“ Not very impressed with the service here. So far. I purchased a Honda. My First one last December and have brought it for maintenance. Just once. This is my second time. No update on when the car will be ready and just surprise maintenance things I come up. I feel like they’re trying to upset me on things that I can easily get somewhere else done. I would recommend not even scheduling an appointment. Just be ready to be here for 1 to 2 hours. ”

“ Since I bought a civic to them I was thinking it’s more convenient to do service on my GMC Acadia the last time they fix my AC on my GMC they said it’s compressor need to change and run a check and there is no leak. I paid almost 2k for that and after 2 months the AC is not working properly and I thought it was the battery When I check it again to Honda Tomball they said it have a leak and need to change both discharge hose and liquid hose asking me to pay 2.3k. The Guy Alex didn’t even check if there is warranty he just told me that there might be some discount on the part and I should grab it. Change a lot on my perception and trust on Honda so if I need to get my Civic service I have to look for another Honda dealer. ”
“ Untrustworthy mechanics. Unethical sales team. Everyone’s a master mechanic. They missed a simple spool valve leak 3 Times. Upon return of my vehicle my transmission took a dump. Their techs don’t know the difference between a transfer case or transmission. If I had more money I’d be sueing them. They ruined my healthy vehicle. Every rental provided had dog hair or was smoked in. Car lot full of cars on bricks (stolen rims). The culture at Honda is dead. I’ll never even drive a Honda again ”
“ My wife went in for an oil change only for a Honda Pilot and got ripped off. Invoice came out to $280.00. $280 for an oil change!!!!???? ”
“ I was a customer of Honda of Tomball. I purchased my car and always had my maintenance done. I decided to no longer to return my car for service recently. I had recommended my daughter to Honda. Her first experience was good and she had some expensive work done on her vehicle. She had an older vehicle that was not a Honda. The last visit I went with her for repairs. She explained what her car was doing, and her radiator was leaking. They did not offer to do a diagnostic inspection but replaced the radiator for a substantial amount. After replacing the radiator they told her the car was running hot. They wanted to do a diagnostic on the car after they put in a new radiator ( an additional charge). The diagnostic results was that she needed a new motor. Her car was older, but that was her main transportation. The problem is if the diagnostic was done first, the radiator would have not been replaced. So the bill still had to be paid. Now i was a customer since 2019 and they always checked the car and gave me a list of things that was wrong. They told both of us that if a customer comes and tell them the problem they just fix it without a diagnostic test. I am confused who was the expert in this case? ”
“ Honda of Tomball is a awesome place and amazing costumer service Except today Sadly My experience with this new salesman Philip was horrible ”
“ (Translated by Google) undefined (Original) Quit going to dealers because of this place. Spring honda isnt any better. ”
