The Honda Fit and Civic both offer functional transportation for up to five people, but they differ based on available features and engine performance.

While both vehicles have towing capabilities, the 2026 Odyssey's estimated towing capacity is 3,500 pounds, while the Passport's is 5,000 pounds (when properly equipped).
