2020 GMC Acadia vs. 2020 Honda Passport

August 26 2020 -

When it's time to purchase a mid-size SUV, the GMC Acadia is attracting more buyers with major updates for this model year. Upgrades include a new available turbo engine and a standard nine-speed transmission that offers better performance and contributes to efficiency. It's setting aside the competition, and we begin to prove it here with the Honda Passport.

Find the best power and engine selection with the 2020 GMC Acadia

The Acadia features three engines that help you choose the right power for your needs. A turbocharged 2.0L generates 230 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque and is standard on the AWD SLE and SLT. It earns an attractive fuel consumption rating of 11.3/8.7 L/100km (city/highway).

The Denali and AT4 include a 3.6L six-cylinder engine that produces a quiet 310 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque. The FWD SLE receives a 2.5L four-cylinder with 193 horsepower and 188 lb-ft of torque with a fuel consumption rating of 11.3 L/100 km in the city and 8.9 L/100 km on the highway. Each trim level now features a nine-speed automatic transmission, an upgrade from the six-speed automatic in prior models.

Comparing these engines to the Passport, the 3.6L six-cylinder comfortably exceeds the Honda's sole engine by 30 horsepower and a handful of torque. The 3.6L is also more efficient with a highway rating of 9.0 L/100 km compared to the Passport's at 9.8 L/100 km. Acadia models with the 2.0L engine rate as low as 8.7 L/100 km in the city, giving the Acadia the upper hand in the efficiency battle.

The 2020 GMC Acadia supports your expanding family

The Acadia has an important interior feature that the Honda Passport doesn't--a third row. Your growing family and friends deserve the extra seating to relax better and increase safety. As a matter of fact, the Acadia has more front head and leg room, additional rear leg room and the third row with 362 litres of cargo volume behind it. The Passport wastes too much space.

You will also find available special features in the Acadia that the Passport doesn't offer. These include wireless charging, head-up display, passenger adjustable lumbar and more.
