2019 Honda Passport Touring 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 9A)
45 of 77 people found this review helpful

The Passport Touring has many good qualities I was looking for - made in USA, safety for all passengers and able to take off from a stop, quickly. Unfortunately I wish I had noticed the road noise on the passenger side when speed gets to 35 and increases in sound the faster I drive. While test driving my speed got up to about 45 but I did not hear anything due to talking with salesman. I brought to the attention of the noise when I talked with the salesman a few days after purchase. He states check windows and doors make sure completely shut, I had already checked. Took into service about a month after purchase to see if this was common thinking it may be rubber around doors not thick enough. After keeping for a full day, they state the roof rails was making the noise. On my way home my route took me onto new temp paving on highway - you guessed it - NO NOISE. I brought this back up with service and they stated all vehicles have noise. I am just glad I don't have to drive a far distance every day because this would be very annoying and would have to bite the bullet and find another vehicle. What is funny though the noise is not as loud when there is someone sitting in the passenger seat. As an update December 2019 - The noise problem is still there. I brought issue up with local dealer and Honda America. Honda America would not do anything unless local dealer saw problem. Local dealer of course could not hear anything. As speed increases, so does sound. The additional things I do not like but will live with are the push button gear/start and the auto idle shut off that I have to turn off each time I start engine. I do not have long legs (5' 6" tall) and find I can not place right foot on gas pedal comfortably. Feels like I am using my toes. If I have seat up any closer the steering wheel is almost in my chest. I didn't pay much attention while test driving thinking I could just move seat closer later. If I ever get another car I will definitely remember these things and double/triple check. Oh, also found out while looking at new cars that most of them have the sun/moon roof which I did not want. But in order to get the heated seats, memory seat location and GPS I had to get moon roof. Extra expense that I could live without. Overall I do like the Passport for what my needs. Update asked by Edmunds June 2022 but don't know if anyone will read - 1. Using navigation to route trip - Good for local, terrible for long distance. While trying to plan 2 trips over 500 miles away, could not route trip with our preferences on where to stop. Ended up using Google maps I printed from computer before leaving and using co-pilot on tablet. Useless on trip. But got good gas millage though. 2. We live in Florida so winter weather occasionally need heat and all others air conditioning. The temp is set to "Auto" so unit turns on what is needed. Only problem is it takes a long period of time for unit to decided. Ex: other day temp outside shows 90, inside temps set at 70. You would think that the fan at least would come on at decent rate to push hot air out of vents and start cool down. Nope, hardly any fan speed to clear vents. Took about 5 minutes to finally get some cool air and still fan not at high speed. I know I can increase fan speed manually but then what is purpose of "Auto". My husband had a Ram Pickup and now a Jeep Wrangler. As soon as they starts fan speed high and cool air less than minute. Same problem with Passport during winter with heat. Once engine finally warms up fan speed never increases, like it is set on medium or less and I am having to control. Now the heated seats I love! 3. The sensors on from and rear bumper work most of the time. I have had an instance with both where they did not pick up a vehicle approaching and one backing up on rear and an individual walking by in front.. I just wish they had put a middle sensor on front bumper for parking distance gauge distance to another car parked in front of you or sign. 4. Love the back seat fold down. Very easy when having to carry long items and flip back up for passenger. Would I buy another Honda? Probably not. Need alot of improvements.

Overall I am very happy with my purchase and it is great peace of mind to have all the available safety features on this new car. I have already been appreciating the feeling of knowing I am not going to get stuck on hills in the winter any more. Nice audio, although the touch screen is a little finicky, I’m sure I will get used to it.

Perfect sized SUV

I agree with everything Edmunds.com said in their review. Feels fun to drive and feels a lot bigger than it is. EX-L trim has a great sound system. Has several clever features that make Honda great like buttons in the trunk that automatically drop the rear seats flat, making loading large items easy. So far MPG has been a bit of a disappointment, getting around 12 MPG, but my wife mainly uses it for short errands around town so I’m sure it’s skewed due to that. Overall, I am very happy with this car.

Poor reliability

2019 Honda Passport Touring 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 9A)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful

I bought a brand new 2019 Honda passport Touring which is the highest trim available in Canada. It is very feature rich, interior and exterior look great. Interior materials are better than what I had expected. Handling is good. Power is very average and can be improved. Transmission is OK but hesitates a bit. Honda quality control is very poor. After driving the car for 2 years / 40000 KM it died in the middle of the road. Lucky I didn't get to an accident. Towed the car to Honda dealership. They had to replace fuel pump and fuel injector. Car was sitting in the dealership for almost a month because Honda didn't had the parts!!!!! After a month I get the car back and see a chunk of my front tire is ripped out. Not sure if it happened when Honda was towing my car or if it happened in the dealership. Since the repair the engine is acting a bit different. When I press the gas pedal there is delay before the engine kicks in. Kind of like how a turbocharged engine behaves. Not sure why changing fuel pump and injector would cause this delay. It is annoying and also I am worried it will cause a problem in long term since after a delay the car suddenly kicks harshly to deliver the power. Once had to replace the front windshield and the Honda part that was installed was defective and had to go back to the dealership to change the windshield again. The defect was very visible and it is concerning that Honda quality control process did not catch it. My extended family were all Honda fans and one by one they are leaving Honda. This was the third Honda I bought brand new but it will be the last one. If I am not getting a quality car with Honda then I might as well go for a performance or luxury car instead.

Stay Away

2019 Honda Passport Elite 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 9A)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful

Where to start?!?!?! I had this vehicle in the dealership service center 6 documented times. The first time was after only having it for 2 weeks. The entertainment system was a MAJOR problem and it was almost from the drive home. My vehicle was the one they used to figure out what was wrong with many others. I also had problems with the remote start system. The first time was on Thanksgiving Eve in 2019. It wouldn't start, heck it wouldn't even turn over, and had to have it towed to the dealership. Thank God they were able to get me a rental vehicle or I would have had to pay for an Uber and/or taxi for a 20+ mile ride home. It happened again on Christmas Eve and wouldn't start again. I had to have the tow truck yank it on to the flat bed because it wouldn't even shift out of park. The dealership I dealt with did make it right and I ended up getting a 2021 Honda Passport Elite AWD in the exact same spec as the first one. The only problem I have had with the new one is a mirror intermittently not retracting when using the button on the dash. I have made sure to have it documented with the dealership and checked each time I go in for any service work.

Bought this certified/ pre-owned with 66K on it (I wasn't concerned.) It's in great shape and as others point out is bigger inside than outside, and has a great motor. Some don't seem to like the firm ride (I do) and complain about the push-button transmission (it's not hard folks, I figured mine out in a few minutes.) Storage and thoughtful touches abound, you can de-activate many of the safety features if you find them overbearing, including shortening the distance on the automatic braking before it engages. And while some complain about the automatic engine shut-off at red lights, you can also disable this with the touch of a conveniently located button before you drive off. It takes one second- so I don't get the complaints on that. Sound system is great, seats are comfortable, ride is poised and outward visibility is excellent. Cup-holders can be made larger with an expander ($15 on Amazon) and the hidden storage compartment under the rear deck is cool. Great addition to my Colorado lifestyle. 5K UPDATE: Still a fan with 71K on the odometer. All she's needed is an oil change and someone to show me the setting so that the side mirror rotates down when you reverse (to assist with parking.) I thought it was broken, it wasn't- just a switch I wasn't aware of. Love the vehicle.

Drove beautifully, quiet and roomy. I put myself at a disadvantage size wise because I wanted a 6 cylinder. The Passport has that and more. I will be driving it to Florida shortly; we’ll see how it goes.

I’ve had it since around Jun 1 2019. I don’t mind the narrow arm rests, I don’t mind the unusual shift button, I don’t mind that you have to press the auto/stop button every time you start up the car. These are minor nuisances that. I do like all the safety features, I do like the navigation system, I do like the Appleplay and the 10 speakers.. I don’t like the 20 in wheels and the only tires that fit on it..It’s true that the 20 in rims look sporty but the tires make for a bumpy ride..There’s not enough rubber on the road to make it a cushy ride. So far this is the only negative I’ve noticed. As an older driver, I would prefer more rubber on the road to make the ride more comfortable when going over bumps in the road.

We have just recently purchased a 2019 Honda Passport for a Christmas present. This is our 3rd Honda. We have owned an Accord and a Pilot. We had our Accord from 1996 to 2005 and then our Pilot from 2005 to 2019. The Pilot started having aging problems that cost more than the car was worth. I cried when we traded it in. I felt like a traitor, but now that we have our sporty Honda Passport I feel more confident in my travels to and from work and through our errand commutes on the weekends. The passport is large enough to feel cavernous inside but fit into regular parking spaces in my downtown parking lot. The infotainment takes some getting used to because we have never had anything at these techy levels before. The Passport is fun to drive, has a good turning radius, has a nice look that gets a lot of heads turning when I go by. I have the scarlet paint with the gray interior. I don't know how hot leather seats get in the summer but the gray color should ward off some of the heat. The moonroof will also be a nice feature for late spring, summer. We looked at many other SUVs (Murano, CRV, Sorento and Telluride) and the Passport clicked off all of the boxes. It had trouble seeing over the hood with the Murano. The seat height just wouldn't work for me. The CRV is a great small SUV and right now my life is too large for small, so the CRV will be my retirement car. The Sorento had a cheap feel to it, but that is just my opinion. The Telluride was amazing, but very large and it would not fit in our garage without getting rid of our lawnmower which would have cost us more money and the Telluride would have been hard to park downtown, but it is truly a beautiful SUV. We are Honda people and probably always will be unless the prices keep going up and the discounts keep going down. Honda has always been dependable and nice-looking so we have stayed with them. I will always miss my pilot but with the medical bills we have we just couldn't fix any more problems. I will say the Pilot is a solid, dependable car, our was just getting old and it had a lot of miles. The newer Pilots were just too large and not really that eye appealing, to us. Test drive a passport. Test drives are free and see for yourself what quality and fun can be in one package.

Sporty, Firm, but to much Tech

TannerJ, 10/09/2019
2019 Honda Passport Elite 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 9A)

Had a dealer loaner for two days. Drive was firm and sporty. Plenty of pickup. Roomy back seat and cargo area. Sits up high and a solid feel on the road. Much quieter than my old Honda. Expected better gas mileage. I would enjoy driving for 100k miles as long as there were no tech issues. To Much Tech - Digital display gauge was a poor balance of numbers and graphs - give me the option to show an analog tach and speedometer even if its on a digital display. Beeps and Sensors were a bit distracting. Electronic Gear Shift Buttons - I asked a salesman what happens if someone spills coffee or a Coke on the buttons, or melting snow dripping off your gloves? Do the buttons short out, and then you end up calling a wrecker because there is no manual shifter? Mechanic told me 100+ chips in all the new models - nobody knows how reliable they will be long term. As someone else already suggested - 100k extended warranties will become a necessity. Finally - a friend bought a 2019 Pilot back in January. When finishing paperwork, he had to sign a form agreeing not to hold the Dealer legally responsible for any defects, recalls, etc - he could only go after Honda USA. If you read up on Honda's 1.5 liter engine problems and display screen reboots, you get an idea why a dealer wants no legal responsibility. The dealer knows all the new tech is going to be a long term hassle.

Great SUV, fits my lifestyle perfectly as I’m pretty active have only had it for a few days and hope to put many miles on it doing the things I love!!! Will report back if any concerns pop up / but don’t expect any as it’s a Honda and I have been fortunate with all my Honda’s so far and this one is my favorite ;) / sorta like Goldilocks and the 3 Bears as ‘“this one is just right’” lol

I find the placement of the alert light to be in an unacceptable location. This light is supposed to warn you of traffic approaching either on the left or right side of your vehicle. I guess that Honda saved a couple of dollars by moving the warning lights from the outside rear view mirrors (great location) to the awful/unnoticeable location...bad move.

Just got a week ago and drives well. Only thing wish Honda had real armrest instead of fold downs attached to seats. Other than that, do not like button shifters in center - would rather have old school shifter. Understand this is change of the times but I do not feel as safe or natural shifting like this.

The 2019 Passport is a disappointment. Every bump is exaggerated by the stiff suspension and low profile tires. It is not a comfortable car on the road. The seats are also not comfortable. The push button shift makes driving a chore, not a pleasure. Honda could have easily put in a shift lever rather than buttons. I bought the Elite and it still does not have such conveniences like electronic adjustable steering wheel or pedals. The car does get decent mileage, the cargo area is large, the back seat is spacious, and it provides excellent visibility. Too bad it's not fun to drive.

They market this car towards people who want a more rugged suv and claim it has off road capabilities. DO NOT BUY INTO THIS. I love the engine, the drive quality, the layout, and the looks, but when some old man drove me into a low median, the tire popped off the wheel and the wheel bent. This should not happen in a car that claims it can go off-road (even if the claim is “light off road”). I’ve read reviews that claim it can handle mild rock climbing. I call BS. My car was completely disabled by a 3 inch tall median. I’d post pics, which I’ve done on Facebook but I can’t on here. If you’re thinking of this car as an amazing commuter car or highway driving/vacation hauler, it’s perfect. Do not buy it thinking you’re getting a car capable of anything related to off road fun. I have never driven off road nor do I plan to do I didn’t buy it for that, but I’m shocked it couldn’t handle a small curb like median without being destroyed.

While getting my 2016 Pilot serviced, I spent an hour checking out what Honda has to offer with the new Passport. Sure, the raised ride height and butch front grill might appeal to a millennial but at what cost ? Slightly stiffer ride, need for running board for petite women, and less cargo room. Oh, and a Nine-speed auto with a serious failure history. The Six speed with a gear shifter instead of a silly dial would've given pseudo off- roaders something to hold on to. The cargo capacity is only 2 square feet more than the CRV and that vehicle gets 7-9 MPG more.Unless Honda starts offering a a decent lease deal or substantial discounts, they won't set sales records. If a buyer truly wants a more masculine look, suggest shopping the Toyota 4 Runner or new Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. The later offers resale value the Pilot can't ever hope to match. The Passport nothing more than a manufacturing experiment that didn't cost Honda alot to pull off. It's truly a misfit, IMO.

I'm barely 6'1 and couldn't believe the lack of driver legroom for a vehicle this size. Deal killer the minute I sat in it. Too bad, nice looking and perfect size for empty nesters

Great SUV! At first I thought I needed a bigger SUV, but after trying and driving the PASSPORT I knew it was the one. I’m a portly fellow and it’s a comfortable snug fit. I dig it!

The Honda Passport has become a very reliable vehicle for the family. Use around town and for travelling out of town. Handling is great and road performance is comfortable. The seats were a little stiff, but have become more comfortable as time has progressed. Interior wears will and is very durable.

Nice Midsize SUV

Joe Medo, 04/28/2024
2019 Honda Passport Elite 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 9A)
1 of 1 people found this review helpful

Overall, I do like this SUV. I have 62K miles on it. Still on the same tires and original brakes. The seats are comfortable. Great visibility. There's plenty of cargo room, sufficient power, and traction with decent gas mileage. It's been great for long road trips and being able to pack everything in it without needing a roof rack carrier or rear carrier. The car has been reliable although here are a few annoyances / issues. Most critical issue was auto start/stop feature that caused the entire car to shut off completely while sitting at a line of cars at a traffic light. It took about 1-2 minutes for the car to reset and restart. Discovered that it was due to a weak battery. Following this I purchased and installed a device to set the default for auto start/stop to 'disabled' as oppose to 'enabled' yet I can still enable it if I want. I also replaced the battery and have had no further incident. The OEM battery was low powered and junk. The transmission can be a bit slow to engage shifting from reverse to drive, etc. The other annoyance is with the choppiness and jerking when using the adaptive cruise control especially if a car cuts directly in front of the car. Then the car jerks and rushes to slow down. The lane assist feature works fine. I do wish that the car offered wireless Apple Carplay connectivity, that the backup camera was better with more sight lines, and that the navigation / overall system had full voice recognition for making calls and citing other requests such a mapping to a location. Finally while I average 24 mpg and get high 20's during highway driving, it would be great if Honda offered a hybrid version towards getting better gas mileage for a mid-size SUV, nowadays.

5000 miles in with the Sport model

My wife liked the was it looked so we purchased one. At just over $31,000 for the Sport model, I felt it should have had more than a 5 inch center screen. Honda please even an entery level $18,000 Sonata has an 8" screen. Other than the high price the SUV does provide a quite but some what firm ride that all Honda seem to have. The build quality seems tight so do not expect to have any problem with this SUV for 100K. But for just over $31,000, I know I could have dome better but wife wanted it so what are you going to do.

Good Drive, Good Visibility, Missing Some things

M Crosby, 09/16/2019
2019 Honda Passport Elite 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 9A)
8 of 31 people found this review helpful

We drove the 2019 Honda Passport and passed up the ultra high pressure sales pitch due to some missing technology. The car drives wonderfully, it is balanced and has good visibility. The controls are all in an easy to learn and use space. Leg room for second row is good. We liked that it sat up higher as we live in a rural area with lots of pickup trucks and sitting up higher competes with that. We also liked the climate control for the back seat passengers. What's missing: head up display so you can keep your eyes on the road, electronic brake (not only is the emergency brake manual, it is a foot pedal), adaptive cruise only goes to 20 mpg and is not stop and go, side mirrors do not fold automatically. Being that we are currently driving a 2017 vehicle and are looking for all the same features and 2 row midsized vehicle, we passed up on the Honda Passport. If the 2020 comes out with those improvements, we will reconsider, as we are waiting for some other 2020 vehicles to hit the lots.

2019 Passport is great, with some minor flaws

Brent, 10/27/2020
2019 Honda Passport Touring 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 9A)
1 of 3 people found this review helpful

We have put about 10,000 on our 2019 Passport Touring. It's a great vehicle, and so far we are getting about 21.5 mpg in mixed driving (mostly city). Our 2005 Pilot averaged about 17 mpg, so that's a significant improvement. The automatic engine shutoff at stops really bugged me in a Volvo I rented, but it is almost unnoticeable in the Passport. We have had a couple of instances where we were coming to a stop behind another car, and the Honda Sensing apparently decided we weren't stopping soon enough and SLAMMED on the brakes. Very startling when that happens. But for the most part the system has worked well. Comfortable seats, great power, lots of features. A few minor quibbles: (1) only one "smart" USB jack, which we use to connect a phone for Android Auto. Even my 2016 Accord EXL has two, one of which I use for an iPod, which lets me change tracks from the steering wheel controls; (2) although the car is quiet, the microphone (located on the ceiling just back of the rear-view mirror) apparently has no sound insulation at all, so the road noise if you are on the other end of the call is horrible. Again, my Accord is better; and (3) very few cargo hooks in the back, just one at each corner of the cargo floor. Our 2005 Pilot had upper hooks as well, making it much easier to secure cargo (a propane tank, for example). For a car that cost this much, it's a bit annoying that Honda cheaped out on these little touches.

I drove in rural area and get 24 mpg. Dislike the push button transmission and hate how slow the CVT transmission reacts. Paddles are almost worthless because of this. I also have a problem with rolling backwards in drive, the motor shuts off if I go 4 mph rolling backwards, serious flaw. Vehicle no longer stalls in reverse, fixed problem. Have a problem with an engine sensor and all wheel drive sensor but dealer didn't replace under warranty. They cleaned the sensor and now it comes and goes. Wind noise from sun roof, finally found that the gasket was loose, no more wind noise. Had to replace original tires with less than 20,000 miles. Due to pandemic caused shortage I had to pay a lot more for replacement tires.

I've had this SUV for 19 months and have been very happy with it. It's very comfortable to ride in and to drive, booth for me (6'4") and my wife (5'6"). The EX-L has very nice leather surfaces and just about all the bells and whistles I could need (though I did pay for a heated steering wheel as a dealer installed option). There have been no problems or repairs, just routine service. My previous SUV was an '06 Pilot, which almost exactly the same length and width as this vehicle. The Passport has about an inch more ground clearance and less front and rear overhang than my old Pilot (or the newer ones). Gas mileage has been surprisingly good: 22mpg around town and 26-28 on the highway. I also test drove an Atlas and a Telluride. I feel the handling is more sporty and connected than in the Telluride, and the acceleration and gas mileage is better than that of the Atlas (Honda reliability is better than VW's too).

I love the engine of this vehicle but it isn’t as comfortable as the Pilot I had previously. The seat adjustment doesn’t allow the lowering of the thigh area right behind the knee. So your butt is always lower than your knees. Which for most might be ok but I find it very uncomfortable.

All models should come with a DVD player. It’s a downgrade to my pilot. My pilot was very comfortable the issue with the passport is wind noise and the seats are not as comfortable they need to be as adjustable as the pilots were. I do love the room in the passport my bike fits perfectly with room to spare , yet I get better gas mileage. Everything else is good. I do not like the engine stopping when you brake or the automated steering and braking system.
