Used 2021 Honda Passport SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2021 Honda Passport is offered in four trim levels: Sport, EX-L, Touring and Elite. Powering all of these is a 3.5-liter V6 engine (280 horsepower, 262 lb-ft of torque) paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard; all-wheel drive is available as an option and included with the Elite trim.

The base Sport model starts the features list with:

  • LED headlights
  • Keyless entry and ignition
  • Tri-zone automatic climate control
  • 60/40-split rear bench
  • 8-inch touchscreen
  • Seven-speaker audio system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Advanced safety features that include:
    • Lane keeping assist (steers the Passport back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
    • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
    • Forward collision mitigation (applies the brakes automatically to stop the vehicle to avoid or minimize a collision)

Stepping up to the EX-L adds several convenience items that include:

  • Power liftgate
  • Sunroof
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat with memory settings
  • Heated, power-adjustable front seats
  • Leather upholstery
  • Rear USB ports
  • Blind-spot monitor (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)

The Touring trim adds a few niceties that include:

  • Hands-free liftgate
  • Parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible behind or in front of the vehicle when parking)
  • Heated rear seats
  • 10-speaker sound system
  • Navigation system

The Elite trim tops off the list with:

  • Ventilated front seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Wireless charging pad

Which Passport trim does Edmunds recommend?

For our money, we pick the Passport in EX-L trim. It adds a fair amount of convenience features for a reasonable amount of money. The higher trims add only a handful of items and are rather expensive by comparison.
