2026 Model Redesign Year

The redesigned-for-2026 Passport SUV is once again based on Honda's midsized three-row Pilot, but the exterior design is more unique thanks to a burly, off-road flair. Its 285-hp V6 engine is slick and punchy, but the 10-speed automatic doesn't always shift smoothly. All-wheel drive comes standard, and the Passport achieved 21 mpg overall in our testing. The ride is noticeably more comfortable than before, and handling is merely competent rather than engaging. Most controls are clear and straightforward, though Honda's push-button gear selector takes some familiarity. Climate and audio systems are controlled by handy buttons and knobs--a breath of fresh air in an era of screen-based controls.

The front seats are comfortable and reasonably supportive, the rear seat is very roomy, and the cargo space is generous. Various TrailSport trims deliver a higher level of off-road capability, featuring skid plates, a raised ride height, and grippy all-terrain tires.

2019-2025

2019 Model Redesign Year

The Passport returned in 2019 as a stubbier version of Honda’s Pilot SUV. They share a platform and the same smooth, refined 3.5-liter V6 engine and nine-speed automatic transmission. We measured 21 mpg overall. The Passport was available with FWD or AWD until 2022. The five-seat, midsized Passport slots between the compact CR-V and three-row Pilot, and competes with the Ford Edge and Nissan Murano. Unlike the Pilot, we found the Passport’s ride to be rather stiff, but without a marked improvement in handling agility.

The infotainment system is rather slow to respond and the push-button gear selector is tricky to use without looking down. The interior is roomy and full of handy storage places. Forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking are standard, but blind spot warning comes only on more-expensive trims until 2022, when it becomes standard. An off-road oriented TrailSport trim is added as part of a mild 2022 freshening. In 2023, Honda dropped the FWD models. For 2024, the top Elite trim is replaced with the Black Edition trim and adaptive cruise control and lane centering assistance became standard.

1996-2018

The Honda Passport was a midsized SUV produced by Isuzu, starting with the 1994 model, as Honda's first entry in the truck market for the United States, and only sold in the United States. Built and designed solely by Isuzu, who sold it as the Rodeo which was essentially a SUV wagon version of the Isuzu pickup truck. It was seen as a "quick fix" entry into the growing SUV market for Honda. Aside from a smooth engine and drivetrain, there's little to praise in this clone of the Isuzu Rodeo. Its V6 is strong and relatively economical. But the Passport remains a truck-based SUV of the old school. Sharp bumps elicit hard slams, and even smooth roads bring a busy ride.

Handling is clumsy though predictable; part-time four-wheel drive is all that's available. The brakes are mediocre. The front seats are nicely shaped but too low. The rear seat is low, too, but roomy, and the cargo floor is easy to load. It was discontinued after the 2002 model year.
