A Passport with all-wheel drive does a little worse, with ratings of 19 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. The front-drive model is expected to earn up to 20 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. With a single engine choice and either front- or all-wheel drive, the Passport has two different EPA ratings.
Under the hood is the same 280-hp 3.5-liter V-6 and nine-speed automatic transmission as found in the Pilot. The Passport EX-L is our pick as the best value because it’s reasonably priced and includes features such as leather upholstery, a sunroof, and a large touchscreen with smartphone-mirroring functionality. The rest of the lineup is unchanged except for a small increase in starting prices.
Honda passport update#
The 2021 Passport only receives a small update for the new model year, with base models adding a newly standard 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system versus the old 5.0-inch display.
Despite these quibbles, it is one of our highest-rated SUVs. Its main demerits include so-so fuel economy and some occasionally fussy interior controls. We chose it as our favorite two-row mid-size crossover in a comparison test over the Ford Edge, the Nissan Murano, the Chevy Blazer, and the Hyundai Santa Fe on these merits and because it’s good to drive, with confident handling. Its standard V-6 engine is powerful, and its interior is practical and capacious. Sharing many of its mechanicals with the three-row Pilot and Ridgeline pickup, the Passport uses a familiar name from Honda’s 1990s lineup but is fully modern, with plenty of standard safety equipment and optional tech features. Spacious, capable, and nicely equipped for the money, the Honda Passport hits its marks as a mid-size SUV, which earned it an Editors' Choice award.
