2021 Honda Passport EX-L 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 9A)
276 of 280 people found this review helpful
Like Goldilocks, I wanted a vehicle that was "just right". One in which I could fit a lot of gear in a coverable cargo area. Three row vehicles have small coverable areas and once the 3rd row is dropped, the area isn't fully. Our Mazda CX-5 is terrific, but it doesn't easily accommodate multiple sets of golf clubs plus luggage. Since we never have a need for a 3rd passenger row, I limited my search to the Passport; Santa Fe; Outback; and Edge. Ruled out the Edge because of bad memories of prior Fords and lousy resale value. Drove the Outback, and I preferred the driving experience of the Mazda 3 hatchback I was trading in. Then drove the Passport and never bothered with the Santa Fe, which requires a big step in cost to get an engine with sufficient power. The Passport EX-L has everything we wanted and more in terms of options. The front seats are super-comfortable; rear seats have some adjustability and flip down with the touch of a button. The engine in Normal mode is highly responsive, throwing me back in the seat when I tromped on the gas at 50mph. Ride is exceptional, and it is very quiet. All the tech bells and whistles come with it, and the interface is intuitive. Push-button transmission takes some getting used to but works great. Cargo space behind the rear seats provides room for 4 sets of golf clubs - and then some. Overall MPG is 23 on recommended unleaded, mostly rural roads @40-60mph. It's a big vehicle, but not unwieldy, as it fits into normal parking places. UPDATE: I have owned my 2021 Passport EX-L for nearly 2 years and driven it 19,000 miles. It has delivered flawless service, and averages 26 mpg on 87 octane in a semi-rural environment. Loves: spacious and comfortable seating for front and rear seat passengers; excellent ride on paved or gravel surfaces; quiet; nice sound system; plenty of storage and luggage capacity; good handling; comprehensive technology package that allows some annoying features to be turned off. Dislikes: push-button transmission; automatic braking system that can over-react; no rain gutter for doors means you and the interior part of the door get wet upon opening.
Great SUV

I have never purchased a vehicle as loaded with pleasant surprises as my new 2021 Honda Passport. I purchased the Touring AWD model because of it's standard features. For a relatively large SUV, the Passport has a powerful and responsive 6 cylinder engine, handles great and is fun to drive with a variety of driver assist and safety features that all work very well. The interior is roomy and comfortable not only for the driver but also for the front and rear seat passengers. Both front seats are power adjustable and the rear seats manually adjust to provide more comfortable seating for rear seat passengers. The climate control system has 3 zones which allow everyone in vehicle to adjust heat and air conditioning to their preference. The cargo area is big enough to accommodate luggage for 4 passengers with the rear seats up and an even more impressive amount of cargo with the rear seats down.

My employer has a big fleet of vehicles for business travel. We have access to many types of cars, truck, and SUVs. The Passport is my favorite ride for any time of the year but especially for winter driving over snowy mountain passes. It is outstandling on all roads with excellent AWD and traction systems, very stable & predictable with a car-like ride. It is also very comfortable for my family's personal trips. It is as good in the snow as my Subaru but has more space & comfort, perfect for family ski trips. Typical Honda with the best ergo design for drivers and lots of smart options without being gimmicky. It is nice to have manual knob on sound system too! Good fuel mileage on eco mode. It is hard to find negatives but I can offer suggestions in the hopes that a Honda engineer might see this: the transmission is a bit uncertain about gear selection esp up & down hills. the transmission selection buttons sit low in the dark console, forces the driver to take eyes off the road for too long while searching for the right button. the venitilation controls are also small & dark so takes some extra attention to adjust. i am comparing these to a 2018 Ridgeline which I sometimes drive. picky stuff that i only notice because so much else is excellent about this passport.

2021 Honda Passport Elite 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 9A)

Before purchasing I was deciding between the 4Runner and Passport. I wanted a dependable vehicle that was off road capable but also fuel efficient. While neither are very fuel efficient the Passport is rated better. I also wanted a vehicle that was comfortable for long road trips. The Passport checked all the boxes. In the short time that I have had the Passport I am getting 27 on highway trips with plenty of comfort. The heated and ventilated seats are really a nice touch. In the cold climate the rear heated seats are appreciated along with the HVAC controls. Another nice feature is the Honda torque vectoring AWD. There is always at least 20% of the power going to the rear wheels. I highly recommend this vehicle to anyone needing a comfortable road cruiser with off-road capability.

I love driving. To me, a station wagon is the ideal vehicle, but they don't make them anymore, and our old Acura TSX Wagon did not have enough power and it was FWD only... so we got an '18 Ridgeline BE. Excellent, but I don't like how trucks load.. so back to the wagons. I don't need three rows, but I'm sold on the rear torque vectoring of SH-AWD and iVMT4 so we knew it couldn't be an Odyssey. The Pilot is too big, too softly sprung and it's D pillar is too mommy looking. The Passport, looks very nice, just like a little boy ready to play. So we got an Elite AWD. We had some teething issues with popping noised caused by the media connector from the CAN bus into the Navi head end, but they fixed it. On the open road, on half use of cruise control at 80 mph I can get 430 miles per tank with another 30 to go. Perfect for long drives. We've done a number of NON STOP 1200 miles in it, my wife and I, with just four quick stops, 17 hours.. so we find the seats comfortable, the ride smooth, the handling secure, the stereo works fine (I use my Android phone, USB and Tidal HiFi with 500 records downloaded into its 512GB flash) and the car is easy to drive and very sure footed. You ought to see me go through the turns on the I5 around Mt. Shasta. The CHP gave me a warning... wife told me NOT TO say anything about the rear torque vectoring. It also swallows a lot of cargo with the back seats down. Other than the lawyers and their doodah restrictions like the engine stop, having to stop to change NAVI destinations, etc... the vehicle serves our needs very well. The shifter? Not an issue, I'm used to the design and I use the paddle shifters. I do wish, however, it had the 10AT and not the 9AT with the dog gear between 4th and 5th. It sucks on downshifts, but you only notice that when the drive the truck as if it were my old GSR/RSX-S/CRX or a number of Sis. We intend to purchase this Passport when it comes out of its lease, something we seldom do with our cars. Which, is the highest praise I can give a car. EDIT: Well, when it came off its lease, the resale value was likt 85% off MSRP.... dang it... so we took the option and extended the lease. After 3+ years, mostly working from home, we're still in it and at only 30K miles the Passport still feels new.

The Passport is a shortened (6") and raised (1") SUV based on the Honda Pilot. It has all wheel drive and a V6 engine. The quality of the build is impressive - leather surfaces; high-grade plastics, heated seats and TONS of room. My only negative is the stupid engine start/stop feature; you need to disable it each time you start the engine unless you like having the car judder and restart when you are turning left into traffic

Over several decades of driving, I’ve had a bunch of cars of various kinds. Just sold a 2017 Honda CRV that always impressed me with how large it was on the inside compared to the outside. But, while the CRV was a great people mover, almost as good as a minivan in that regard, it was not very exciting to drive. Sold the CRV and got a Passport Touring FWD (I live in dry Southern California so I just couldn’t justify getting the AWD). In many ways, the Passport is the opposite of the CRV. Where the CRV was efficient and kind of boring, the Passport is not efficient and much more exciting. For example, fuel economy is much worse than for the CRV. And parking it is more difficult because of how wide it is and how large its turning circle is. And I hate the fact it doesn’t have a 360 degree camera to help with parking (although the Touring does have front and rear parking sensors to help with this). And what’s with the 1990’s tech emergency foot-brake? But all of that fades away when you actually drive it. It reminds me of Mercedeses I’ve had. Big, powerful, agile, fast. Makes you smile and feel a bit like you own the road (not in a negative narcissistic way). You sit up high and can see quite well in all directions, without feeling top heavy. This thing can take curves surprisingly fast. Also, it is absolutely huge on the inside. You look at it from the outside and think it’s average size. You get inside and feel it has acres of space. I cross-shopped this with the Toyota Highlander (which I also liked, at least the V6 version), and while the Highlander is technically one size larger being a 3-row, the Passport actually feels larger on the inside. I’ve only had it a few days, but I hope this great feeling when driving it doesn’t wear off over the years. Update: OK, I’ve now had the Passport for about 5 months. My initial impressions continue, and are even stronger. I like this vehicle. It’s still a blast to drive. And especially a blast to drive fast. It feels very stable at high speeds on highways, turns, whatever. At low speeds, it’s almost like it’s bored, like a thoroughbred that’s being used for menial tasks and wants to get to the nearest racetrack. My biggest concern is that my lead foot with this car is going to earn me a speeding ticket. The gas mileage has improved a bit. I’m now averaging 20 mpg. Not great, but better. I still can’t get over how big this vehicle is on the inside. Everything about this vehicle is big. Big interior, big windows, big mirrors, big steering wheel. I often name my cars. I used to have a Chevrolet Cruze that I named Tom (get it?). It was small, energetic, a little frenetic, just like it’s namesake. I named the Passport Hulk. It’s also actually a bit nimble. It’s turning radius is manageable. And the parking sensors are proving to be quite useful. Pros and Cons time: Pros: -Huge interior and cargo space. -Fast when you want it. Very good brakes when you don’t. Feels nimble when you push it, wants to be pushed. -Quiet. Mine is a Touring trim, which has extra thick laminated glass in the front areas. -Has a million little cubbyholes and storage spaces. -Not as hard to park as I initially feared. -Gas mileage is improving, probably as the pwertrain gets settled in. -Radio quality is good. -Heating and cooling are fast and effective. Cons: -I still wish it had a 360 degree camera. -I still don’t like the foot-activated emergency/parking brakes. Would prefer handbrakes or electronic brakes. -Gas mileage is improving, but 20 mpg is still not that great. I’m hoping it keeps improving. Overall, I still really like the Passport.

The 2021 Passport Elite checks off all the boxes. Its has a lot of passenger space, on a long trip. Plenty of power. Over a year with my Passport Elite. I have no issues with my SUV. Gas mileage is about 23 on the highway. Around 15 City/Highway. If you are looking for a V-6 with good acceleration, the Passport is the SUV to buy. Plenty of room for 5 passengers. It has plenty of cargo space behind the 2nd row. Good fuel economy for an SUV. I got 24 MPG on the highway. It has a large cargo area with a lot of storage. I have my Passport Elite for over a year and I definitely recommend this SUV. There is nothing negative about this vehicle. It’s fun to drive, great in the snow. No issues to report. My 21 PP is still amazing to drive after 2 years and 11,000 miles. The MPG is 25 highway and 18 city / highway. No issues to report

At first, I was disappointed having had 5 CRV's, a Pilot, a Civic, and the Fit models regarding fuel economy. Honda has been known for predictable mpg ratings. However after owning the Passport model for 2.5 months, the overall mpg has gotten much better. This certainly is the SUV for long road trips, tackling soft terrains, with a quiet cabin all around. I topped 29mpg traveling from southern Oklahoma to Denver Colorado before I hit stop and go traffic in Denver. But city driving yields for me 16-17 mpg verses the 19-20 mpg on my older Pilot. Needless to say, I really am enjoying the much quieter/comfortable ride over my predecessors. The front seats are very comfortable. The infotainment is greatly improved! As far as the 4WD is concerned, your able to select either of these modes for driving harsh conditions: snow, sand, mud to engage the torque you need. You are also able to disengage in the Auto Engine Idle if you wish. You can't beat the cargo area in terms of width. I love it. Unlike the Edmunds' Log review, the AC I found working great as a driver and passenger. Switching off the Climate control and/or ECO mode to just AC for those real hot days, gives a consistently cooler cabin. Finally, I really like the burst of power when accelerating from a stop. So would I purchase it again?... Yes...this suv is great long road trips more comfortable over the CRVs. Cons: After 15,000 miles a differential fluid change is recommend,. Very suprised at this with a 3 year follow up. I have leased it now for 2.5 years. I had replace the interior cover beside the drink holders--- stains or blemishes easy from what I don't know. I had to replace all 4 OEM tires but the streets where are the best either. Now the dealer is stating a brake fluid change at 22,000 miles @ $220.00 for the service charge. I have noticed the suspension isn't as smooth as used to be. But Oklahoma is known as the pot-hole state. It's higher body frame isn't really needed as this is not a vehicle I would considered for any type of out-back terrain even light rough terrain. All in all I am not going to purchase it. I think the Pilot is better choice for comfort and space.

We just purchased a 2021 Honda Passport Touring edition. My wife loves Hondas but I have always felt blah about their interior and exterior. I brought my wife’s CRV in to get an oil change and I saw a Passport on the dealer floor. I was impressed and said I think I found your next car in a text to her. The next day we went to look and it is in our garage now. The pickup of the engine, safety features, interior space, and styling make this a winner.

Liking It Better Than I Thought

2021 Honda Passport Touring 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 9A)

Let me start by saying that I bought my 2021 Passport (Touring) to replace two vehicles in an effort to thin the herd. The vehicles it replaced were a heavily modified 2016 4Runner TRD Pro and a 2021 Toyota Corolla XSE Hatchback. The objective was to have a vehicle that obtained decent mpg (20+) and could still take me off the beaten path for some remote camping and getting to hiking or mountain biking trailheads while hauling gear for 3 to 4 people. I did install slightly larger All-Terrain tires (255/65R18) and skid plates. If Honda truly wishes to compete against 4runners and Jeep Grand Cherokees, they need to provide decent skid plating at a minimum. The Passport is more spacious than I thought it would be and it pretty comfortable although the side bolstering on the front seats need improvement. I have watched a lot of videos on the off road capability and the AWD system and transmission seem up to the challenge. In snow and ice, even with the stock tires, the Passport does amazing and was very impressed even on unmaintained roads where the snow was deeper. At under 9 inches, ground clearance is the Passports Achilles heal. I have smacked my aftermarket skid plates on things I haven't thought I would. that having been said, I am used to much more GC and a vehicle capable of much heavier duty off roading. The Passport will never be a 4Runner, you will be severely disappointed if you think it will. that having been said, it has its place. It's a great road trip car with the ability to tackle some two track, FS roads. Think, trips into Joshua Tree, Death Valley or similar places where you want to explore some of the less traveled unpaved roads where a standard passenger car won't take you. The Passport has good highway manners with plenty of scoot when you put your boot to it although, like so many drive-by-wire vehicles, there is a bit of a delay in the response. Unfortunately throttle response is not improved when placed in "S" mode, instead it just maintains higher rpm in gear by blocking out 9th gear. The Passport has heated rear seats and rear AC control which is a nice touch that wasn't available in my 4runner. However, at $45,xxx the Passport isn't cheap and I'm not sure if the overall value is as competitive as it could be. For me, durability was primary and having an non-CVT transmission was mandatory. With a little less than I month and 1400 miles on it, I am finding it's weaknesses and strengths and have found myself impress on more than a couple of occasions. The 280HP V6 is smooth and sounds good too. I average right about 20 MPG with truly mixed driving and larger tires. The Passport is far from perfect but so far it seems to have ticked almost all the boxes I wanted and seems eager to too do it. It is a good compromise for what I wanted and I can be nit picky and difficult to please especially when spending larger sums of cash.

I traded my third Honda CR-V in for a 2021 Passport AWD Touring that was available only slightly used (7500 miles). I live in a mountain area and we have snowy roads for 5-6 months out of the year. I commute to Jackson, Wyoming for my job which puts me on the road early in the morning. As a commuter in a forested area full of elk, deer, moose and other wildlife, safety is key. This vehicle is a dream to drive. The acoustic glass makes the interior very quiet. The sound system is great and keeps me happy on my hour plus commute. The LED headlights (low and high beam) help me see what is on or to the side of the road. This is very important for avoiding collisions with large ungulates. The heated seats are great on zero degree mornings and I love that I sit up high and can see very well through the front windshield. I did turn off some of the driver assist features as they are not meant for curvy highways. I have already had the opportunity to test my Passport out on slick, snowy roads and it does great. The heavier body and 'snow' mode has thus far kept the vehicle from sliding on slick, icy surfaces. I'm so pleased with this purchase and I would recommend this vehicle to anyone. By the way, I'm averaging 27-29 mpg on the highway!

We bought a 2021 Honda Passport Touring (FWD) in May 2021 with awesome Costco membership discount close to 10% off MSRP! ***Highlights that I love about 2021 Honda Passport*** 1. Awesome V6 engine, that's responsive and quick at 6.2 seconds for 0-60 mph. Great visibility for driving. 2. Handles the curves at high speeds of 75 mph like a champ. Very intuitive steering. Ride quality is acceptable with big 20 inch all season tires. I just drove to Lake Tahoe from Bay Area and my Passport left other competition such as Subaru Outback, Jeep Cherokee, Toyota Highlander, Lexus, Ford Explorer etc. in the dust. It really handles curves with supreme stability like a BOSS. Something my old CRV (that I still love) could also not do. 3. My family is really happy in passengers seats! Roomy and bright. Air controls for back seats too. My little toddler loves it and falls asleep easily :) 4. For Touring, we get Acoustic Glass throughout the car that helps very well with low decibel road noise (~68-69 decibels) 5. Safety is the best part! Blindspot Detection, Lane Departure Alert (with accurate steering correction), Rear Camera Alert, Auto Braking System and Adaptive Cruise Control all SUPER LEGIT. This is the best aspect of Honda Passport in addition to the space, which I talk about below. 6. AMAZING cargo space. 50 cubic feet with rear seats up, and a whopping 100 cubic feet with rear seats down. I was able to fit in 4 large Persian Rugs and 1 Big Box last week for donation with no problem (and it still had more space!!!) 7. Infotainment and Clusters are OK. Nothing bad; I would say it's just too simple yet practical. The dashboard area is monochromic, so may be bland, but nothing bad! 8. Love the aggressive looks with immense height and respectable ground clearance close to 8 inches. 9. Love the superb 510 watt sound system in Touring! ***Lowlights*** 1. Infotainment can be more seamless and attractive such as the ones in new Kia/Hyundai 2. There are buttons instead of gear stick, so sometimes after you put it in Parking "P" mode, the car has subtle swivel movement (few inches) for a couple seconds after you put in Park and release the brake. But this happens in Pilots and Odysseys too. It is a quirk that annoys me.

I absolutely love everything about this car. It rides smooth for being a big car. I’ve had a 2016 pilot and the passport drives and turns better even though it’s wider. My ONE complaint is no remote start from the Hondalink app!! I can’t believe Honda doesn’t include this on any Passports or Pilots. It’s only a feature on an Odyssey. Ford has it with their app. Even on my 2017 Escape. It’s a wonderful feature and Honda needs to remedy this. Ford gives it free for 5 years. Honda wants 110 a year and it doesn’t have remote start! It only locks and unlocks your doors. Who cares about that?! Other than that it’s an amazing car! lol

If you're looking for a SUV AND YOU NEED ROOM, THIS IS THE VEHICLE FOR YOU. I'VE LEASED 3 CRV'S prior which I loved but this vehicle awesome. Once you get in and start to drive, you are going to say, o my God, I did, and the technology is out of this world. I do recommend the Passport EXL or the Ellite. Great car all around

After driving 2,000 miles I find the front seats inadequate. They may be comfortable for short trips and for people 5’7” or shorter but Not for those those taller. Front seats provide very little thigh support. They are too short. Additional comment: the road/wind noise was excessive. I was quit disappointed in this given the positive and improved comments made in adds

Pretty much the same interior as the Pilot. Ride seems to be a little stiffer. Maybe I should say more nimble. Slightly quicker that my Pilot even though there are no differences in drive train. You would think the gas mileage would be a little better since the Passport is slightly smaller and lighter but that is definitely not the case. My 2016 Pilot would always get at least 27+ mpg going back and forth to Florida (1120 miles) and often touch 30 mpg. This new Passport gets 25+ on the road and lucky to get 23+ in town. As with my Pilot, I’m still not impressed with the forward collision system and now it has to be disabled every time I start the vehicle. Info center is better than the 2016 Pilot as is the GPS.

I am a previous owner of an Izusu Trooper LS. The Honda passport is the closest vehicle I could find when matching features, performance, and available parts and service locations. The gas mileage combined for city and highway is actually higher than the published ratings so far. I'm very happy with the performance and handling of the vehicle so far, and It looks great. The accessories were reasonably priced for the most part. I will be monitoring the areas where Honda was offering various Service / Maintenance plans.
Really like this SUV

I leased this SUV on July 14 2021. After almost 2 months I really like this Honda Passport. I have the touring model which by the way has the best sound system I have ever had. Very nice interior with gray seats. The engine has enough power but not as quick as I thought it might be. 9 speed trans very smooth. SUV also very quiet when on the road. Info system easy to use and all the tech safety gear great.

Very nice smooth and quiet ride. BUT....watch out for the tailgate activated by your foot swinging just under the rear bumper. It give a signal and goes up just fine, but you could inadvertently activate it to come down when loading the cargo area. Poor engineering; you should not be able to activate it to come down with the foot action. Serious injury is possible. The whole thing can be turned off, which is what I did. Now I push the button in the driver's door or the button at the tailgate and close it with the button on the tailgate. Still a great car but this was a serious mistake by Honda designers. This has been an issue with other manufacturers and they should have learned.

Less than 7K miles on 2021 Honda Passport

Bought vehicle @ end of 2020. In 7/2021 noticed a drop of fluid on garage floor and thought possibly some fluid splashed up from road. Drops increased over weeks! Took to Honda dealer and they diagnosed bad seal on torque converter. How does this happen with less than 7,000 miles on new vehicle! What kind of vehicle problems do I have to look forward to when my warranty is gone and other things go wrong! Dealer had car for repair 9 days and had to totally remove car body from chassis. Have pictures from dealer! Bought this vehicle with less than 200 miles on it new for +$40,000! Do I have a lemon? Time will tell!

This is exactly the same as the Pilot but without the panoramic moonroof and third row. If you’re someone like me that has knee, back and neck issues on a daily basis, this is perfect for comfortably, getting in and out of the car, and the hands free kick-like wave for the lift gate makes your like easier! I’m also on the hippyish side and found it easy to buckle the seatbelt. I would recommend this for anyone from a single person, starting-up family, fur-babies family, adventurous-for-all-the-gear-person, tech families to senior citizens that are looking for a car.

Overall, I am pleased with this new vehicle after 16 years with the old 2004 Saturn Vue Redline that I loved and would buy another one if it was still available. The only problem that I didn't like is the fit (gap) on the rear cargo door. It is not even and I was told that it couldn't be adjusted with taking to a body shop and bent the brackets at the top. Other than this I am happy with the purchase.

Love my Passport Elite. Only downside, which I thought they would change by 2023, and haven't, is the power seat adjustment for the front passenger. Why can't they make it fully adjustable like the drivers seat? My wife has to sit on a pillow-it's too low. I update: as of 2025 passenger seat STILL isn't fully adjustable like the drivers seat.

I owned a 2004 Honda Pilot for almost 19 years and put on 230,000 miles during that time. It was a reliable and serviceable vehicle and only left me stranded once in that time when the generator failed. Strangely, that failure happened within 100 feet of a NAPA auto care center so the inconvenience was very minor. I looked at Consumer Reports to guide my selection of a replacement vehicle. I test drove the Volvo XC40, the Honda Passport and Pilot, the Toyota Highlander, Venza, Four-Runner, the BMW X3 and X5, the NIssan Pathfinder and Rogue and the Alfa Romeo Stevio. Of the bunch, I found the driving experience of the Stelvo to be the best but the reliability ratings were low and that was a deal breaker for me. I found the Honda Passport to be a good compromise for what I wanted. I did not need a third row of seats but I really needed the room in the back for gear. i could not find the exact Passport I wanted so I ended up buying a used 2021 Passport Touring Edition from a dealer who would take my trade in at a fair price. The one area where I am less than pleased with the Passport after 2000 miles is the handling. However, it is a medium to large SUV so that is to be expected. When I want good handling and a little more vroooom, I just jump in my Audi TTS and enjoy the speed and handling. The Passport is just an inch higher than my old Pilot, but that inch and the huge expanse of glass gives you a superb view of the road, thereby making for a much safer ride. Some reviewers have noticed that it rides a bit rough and is noisy. I have not found that to be the case. In fact I find it quite comfortable and quiet in town and on the interstate. A very pleasant surprise has been the gas mileage. I am not in a big hurry and leave the little green ECO button on full time. Just driving around suburbia I routinely average just a bit over 20 mpg. A couple of weeks ago I drove from Indianapolis to Minneapolis and back. Driving a conservative 70 mph on the first leg, the computer told me the mpg was 31.2. On the way back home I drove a bit faster and the mpg lost one mile to 30.2. The perfect weather probably contributed to these stellar results. Overall I found the electronics to be helpful and intuitive to operate. I very much believe the Passport is a prudent compromise vehicle. It is not flashy and lacks sharp handling, but I am sure it will provide good long-term reliability and dependable service. Price was not really an issue for me, but I just don't want to pay $20K for a more upscale vehicle that spends more time in the shop for overpriced repairs. After owning the this car for 8 months I have nothing but favorable things to say. It is far from a luxury SUV but the ride is comfortable and reasonably quiet. I get just under 25 mpg on mixed driving in suburban and rural settings. I keep the green economy button on all the time. If I need extra power I just mash the gas pedal and I have instant and satisfying acceleration. My previous vehicle was a Honda Pilot which I kept for 19 years and 225,000 miles. I imagine this workhorse will do the same.

Much like the Edmunds review for this model I find that the 2021 Honda Passport did all things well. It is not best in class at any one thing - the CX-9 handled better, the Highlander was quieter, the Atlas Sport had a more 'Euro' fit and finish and the Sorrento offered more value - but the Passport did all of these things and many others very well and, to me, was top 3 in any characteristic I carefully considered. It has excellent road manners (for an SUV). It provides a confident feeling while driving. It is powerful and responsive. It is quiet. It is nicely finished. The drivers seat is comfortable and it was easy to find a good driving position. It has excellent storage. The electronic safety features function well but are not overly intrusive. After driving for a week I can say the ergonomics - the placement and function of buttons and controls - is excellent and intuitive. It looks good. I had a older Highlander that I really liked and thought I would get another. But I only need a two-row vehicle and wanted something a little smaller, but with a V-6, no CVT, and a reputation for reliability. I bought this for a fair price, Honda-certified, and expect it will serve me well. If you are considering the vehicles I listed above, and can find a recent used one in your area, I strongly recommend you have a look at a Passport.

Had a 2017 CRV with oil dilution issue. Swore I would not buy another Honda but after test driving numerous SUVs and not finding them worthy, I decided to test drive a Passport with the Elite package. Well, the second we started driving down the road I knew it was the perfect vehicle for me. No big bulky middle compartment which was high on my criteria list. It has HUGE interior and is fun to drive. It took a while to get used to the shifter and I still do not like the slight hesitation when shifting but those issues I can deal with since there is so much more that I appreciate with this vehicle. The engine is awesome, glad to be driving a 6 cylinder again, it is fast and responsive. Appreciate the heated/ventilated seats and heated steering wheel! Got a great deal on demo, purchased with 3000 miles now after owning for 16 months has 12,000 miles without any issues except for the exterior puddle lights that they replaced under warranty but now 3 are not working again. Another major plus was the fact that there are button/knob controls for everything. When the info screen got glitzy in my last vehicle, I literally had to restart it numerous times on a few occasions until it booted up. When this happened, I could not drive as I had no control over major components like heat/air etc.. I made sure this time I would have the availability of manual controls instead of having to depend on a touchscreen. Have driven this Passport for almost 2 years now and still love it!

The 2021 Passport is quiet and comfortable. Fit and finish is very good. Fuel mileage is disappointing. Even with the optional tow package towing is not a strength. Although rated at 5000# this SUV is comfortable with only about 2500#. Still a very nice vehicle.

The car itself is okay. I like the size and the roominess, but the transmission has some faults. Changing gears from reverse to drive takes a few seconds for the gears to engage, engine starting issues occasionally, I’ll have to open and close the door then try and start again. Honda’s have gone down in quality as I have noticed while working for corporate Honda for over 20 years. I only purchased the vehicle as I needed something to drive after I resigned. At this moment, I am considering to sell/trade in the Passport for a competitor Toyota which are far more reliable. So my faith in the company and the products have diminished…not a good employer.

Currently driving a Subaru Outback 3.6R. Great car but really looking for more cargo room and a little better handling. On the books the Passport seemed like it could deliver both of those. Subaru having approx 35 cu ft and Passport 41 cu ft. As someone said in another review he can fit 3 large golf bags in the Passport but not in the Subaru. I have panned the Audis and Mazdas and a few others for the completely meager specs in this category. So I was excited to see a company actually make this spec a priority. The mid 2000 Volvo XCs had around 40 cu ft. I do not want a 3 row larger family vehicle, that is too much. So I finally took a Passport out for a test drive this past Sunday on Feb 28, 2021. It was an Elite with all the options. I must say it did handle well as I took it up on Rte 95 or Rte 128 here north of Boston, a well traveled piece of highway. Even had a good turning radius when I missed my exit and had to pull a U turn at a light. The seats were comfortable although they look cheap and flimsy because they are so thin. The arm rest is this sliver of a piece that flips up and down. Again like the seats it seemed insubstantial for a car with a sticker price of $45,000 Wow. With trade in of my current vehicle about $12K that leaves about $33K l still need to make up. Doable but do I really want to spend my hard earned cast on that. I do have a roof top box for the Subie that works fine. But here is the kicker and the Deal Breaker I spoke of. The Parking Brake is the old style push pedal located on the left side of the vehicle. The problem is when you have it in the Off position it hovers right above where you would park your left foot during any driving situation. I'm the kind of person who likes to move my feet and legs a bit to keep the circulation going. I found the placement of this pedal to be EXTREMELY annoying. This would bother me to no end. You might say I fidget a bit but I am baffled of the design of this. It's just doesn't make sense ergonomically. My 2012 Outback has a nice push button the electronically engages the brake. Did that put it there in the event someone heading for a cliff might want to jam it on with their foot as an emergency stop function??? I don't know. That's the only reason I can think of having it in such a spot to be as intrusive as possible to the driver. Verdict: NO SALE for the Passport 2021 Elite. I would probably opt for the Touring package to save about 3k though.

We bought our Honda new in August 2021. Have put about 12k mile on over the last year. Living in a northern climate the car performs well in winter. Beyond a couple design flaws (the passenger seat does not go back very far, odd placement for parking brake) the biggest issues with the car reside with Honda itself. The radio doesn't work properly and the center stack rattles. Honda won't cover diagnostic unless their tech's find the issue. Paid too much money ($44k) to be bothered with issues like this. We were considering adding another Passport to the family but will buy something else and move on from this one as well.

This is a refreshing change for me. I like a somewhat bigger vehicle and an all black one too. This Sport model is be discontinued but I like NOT paying for a sun roof and most other features I don’t miss. I do wish it had a automatic trunk release. The new base model will be the EXL that will cost > $12000 more and will include many more features. Glad the Sport was available. The interior is good (sturdy finishes, reasonable options). If it had a sleeker body, it would be rated even higher.
