The 2023 Honda Passport is a spacious midsize SUV with a high-end interior that sets it apart from the crowd. It’s been updated with standard all-wheel drive for the new model year, joining a generous range of standard equipment for the Passport lineup. If you’re in the market for an exceptional crossover with room for up to five, here’s what you need to know about the Honda Passport.
Performance
The Passport has a 280-horsepower engine paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission, a combination that gets an EPA-estimated 19 city and 24 highway miles per gallon. With the right equipment, you can tow up to 5,000 pounds with this powerful SUV. You’ll also get one of the fastest zero-to-60 times among midsize SUVs – under 7 seconds, impressive for a vehicle of this size.
The Passport has 8.1 inches of ground clearance, so you can easily tackle some tough terrain. If you’re serious about off-roading, consider the upgraded available AWD with enhanced torque vectoring.
Interior
The cabin of the Passport offers a luxurious experience with comfortable seats and quiet construction. Expansive headroom and legroom in both rows provide space for passengers of all sizes. The SUV has 78 cubic feet of cargo space when you fold the seats flat and 41 cubic feet with the second row in use.
Standard features in the Passport include an auto-dimming rearview mirror, an integrated universal garage door opener, three-zone automatic climate control, keyless proximity entry, and remote start. You can also get luxe upgrades like ambient lighting.
Tech
Every Passport has a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support along with wireless charging and a seven-speaker audio system. Satellite and HD radio, Bluetooth, and four USB ports also come standard.
Optional tech equipment includes an upgraded touchscreen that can seamlessly mirror your smartphone screen, a 111-volt power outlet, and an upgraded 10-speaker stereo system. You can also outfit your Passport’s infotainment system with navigation and voice recognition.
Safety
The Passport has earned a five-star overall crash test rating from the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration. Every trim comes with the Honda Sensing driver assistance system, which includes a rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, a rear seat occupant alert, front automatic emergency braking, lane keep assistance, and adaptive cruise control. Rain-sensing windshield wipers can be added to higher trims.
In addition to all these impressive amenities, the Passport has a high predicted reliability score from JD Power and Associates, so it’s also a smart buy.
