2019 Honda Passport - Review & Road Test
ฝัง

- There are so many midsize SUVs to chose from the category has been split into two- and three-rows. The all-new Honda Passport lands in the two-row segment with room for five passengers. Slotted between the smaller CR-V and larger Pilot, was the Passport a necessary addition? Excellent question, and Micah Muzio from Kelley Blue Book has the answer, as always. He's so reliable.

Micah is hands down the best car reviewer on TH-cam
Pedestrian: I'm going to jaywalk.
KBB: I'm going to end this man's life.
"the weight of normal existence wasn't so crushing" - amen to that brother
Micah you scared that guy flooring out of the parking lot 😂
Dude was just making his usual daily j walking until he saw the lights of his past flooding towards him in the form of a multi camera docked vehicle. 🤣
2:32 I came for a review and left with existential crisis...
Chaz L I know right 🤣
haha, same here I actually liked the video just because of that part :P
When Honda will build the Honda airport because they have already pilot and passport
And the Honda Jet
Yeah and they are already ready to go on an Oddysey 😂😉
@@xionskyz654 actually they do make a jet 😊 not a car an acutual plane
I’ve had my passport for about 3 months now and absolutely love it!!
Do you really? I’m thinking bout getting one
@@justchillin6117 funny story. I got a 2019 Passport Sport then traded it in for a 2020 Passport EXL to get more features. I definitely love the vehicle and have been able to get good deals, no problems! Definitely look at EXL trim though, best value for money in my opinion
@@reedcampbell5325 yes I want the exl. My wife just got that trim n Pilot. I’m thinking bout the Ridgeline also but probably get better deal on passport
loving the edits on this video OMG. brilliant
Drove my Passport from Ontario Canada to Florida 2 weeks ago. It was fully loaded for my 5 month stay and it performed flawlessly. The lane mitigation becomes a pain with the wheels vibrating so I disarmed it and some of the other safety items can become a nuisance so you can fiddle around with them but this is a great SUV. Glad I bought it.
1:48 got poor guy running for dear life 🏃🏻
I like this guy. Made me smile. Good review & entertaning. His humor adds a great touch. Well done.
Howdy, great review as always!😸😻😸
Passport starts with sport trim not LX and that’s why passport starting price is more than Pilot. If you compare same trim levels, Pilot has a higher price tag.
Love the Passport! Fun review
Just purchased a 2020 Passport, your review helped me make the final decision to click the “sign” button (new world of online sales🤘) Thanks Micah!
I like the passport look more. It looks more sport type and aggressive. Also in my opinion if the took so ideas of the interior layout from the new accord like the display and steering wheel than it would look amazing.
Who else agrees?
If I drive across into Mexico will the border guards check my Passport ?
Nah i don't think they care about your Passport. If you want to come back to the USA though, there going to be checking your Passport real good. lol
I think you and the border guards will eventually come to an Accord.
@@wassupbro I wouldn't mind going through security checks. Keeping the country is safe is a Civic duty
Mohamed Faliq sounds like you’ll be a good Fit to re-enter the US.
@@colinw996 The trip sure is an Oddessy.
Wait, Micah makes the music too? In what time does he fit that in with the soul-crushing weight of existence?
I think this is my new favorite with Micah.
Can you really get used to that push-button shifter? I don't like it, but I've never had to get used to it.
If you drive this into a cross boarder shipping port you’d have your passport in a passport at a passing port.
I love how “ motorcycle esc“ traits are still visible in Honda/Acura which is why made me fall in love with this brand
Crushing indeed Micah. Crushing indeed.
The rear end has that ford explore look.
I sat in one of these at the dealership nearby, and it's really nice.
Why no birdseye parking camera? Hoping 2020 model will have it
So is that cruise control issue (shutting itself off) a bug? And does the Pilot have the same issue?
I miss Long Beach every time I see your videos
They need Honda sensing 2.0 to make the vehicle better. Great video though
The 1.5-T4-255 hp would work right ? Save around 100lbs of weight, and better gas mileage. I mean just make it one motor option. 15 hp less, and 30 more torque. Its based off the accord anyway right.
I have a 21 elite awd. The adaptive cruise control works great now. I wish I could have the option of 18 inch rims for beefier tires. Instead of having to pay twice for rims and tires to get what I want.
I will admit, I am not nor have I ever been a fan of digital numerical speedometers. Is there a way to change this setting?
I want that front look on my 2018 Pilot. I hope any conversion kit will come in the future
It should all be swappable, just head to your dealer and buy the necessary bumper pieces.
I love how you incorporate Korean things in your recent videos! Lol
Oh look, there's that white van! Micah, you can't escape them here on KBB either!
Love it!
"one fewer row of seats"
Good for Micah for using correct grammar. Most people would say "one less row of seats"
So, the Pilot would have one greater row of seats, then?
Stop it. Either way is more than acceptable.
I feel like they'll release an Acura version of the Passport. The Elite package Passport seems nearly at the Acura pricepoint
It’s similar to the RDX. The RDX really pushes what a compact SUV Is
The Active Cruise Control will cut out at 20mph or under. At that speed, you should be paying attention. But the Braking Mitigation will kick in if you dont stop soon enough.
How about the ground clearance?
Is this car just not selling? I have seen exactly 2 on the road since it came back in '19
In my opinion, they are severely over-priced, especially when you look at the base model.
gonna wait about three years and grab one for cheap
@@360.Tapestry the 2 main reasons I haven't bought one yet are 1) no birdseye parking camera 2) the wheels look disproportionately small. I really love everything else about it
@@leyenda6149 i think it's great overall package, too - despite the lack of panoramic moonroof. i just can't justify the price tag to myself when my rav4 v6 awd does everything i need confidently. it would just be an upgrade in creature comfort, which isn't as fulfilling to me as watching an investment account go up, then down, then up a lot, then down a little, then up again lol
Good job Honda on bringing a new 4 year old Honda to the market
Lmao:
My friend has a 2019 Honda CRV and said once coasting downhill the adaptive cruise control stopped working. She was lucky to brake quickly. Wtf?
@Jonathan my concern is that this is a permanent fault, because she said adoptive cruise control works on normal occasions.
Love the 4runner, cant find a TRD pro though
Finally, it's been pointed out how in-built sat nav is all but obsolete!!!! since everyone has a smartphone. Even in 2016 when I worked as a car salesperson for a short while, I heard talk about manufacturers doing away with it, and we were even told to overcome customers' objections to the car not having it by saying, "you've got a smartphone...?" Smart phones are light years ahead of car sat navs.
I love you kbb
Does the passport really just shut off???
4:30 best part of the video hands down.
midnightsunturbo Haaaaa 🤣🤣
I don’t think onboard navigation is unnecessary........if you are somewhere without cell signal, your phone nav is useless. There are still big areas without cell signal believe it or not. I drive through 2 big dead zones on my way to work, and I live on outskirts of Louisville.
mbenkelley1 That’s where offline map comes in handy.
I do enjoy Micah's sense of humor!
This was a fantastic review!! Right on Micah!! Yes I want one but the first thing I would do is put some Ridgeline 18" wheels and tires on and add a transmission cooler.
The reality is I want a daily driver that I can still navigate some mellow gravel roads and go camping. Nothing wild. just old school throw a tent in the back and go.
I like your review style!! SUBSCRIBED and a like!!
it's like the front of the Passport was borrowed from the 2013 RX 350 and the back was borrowed from the Ford Explorer
Where can I get a t-shirt like that?
Kbb, how is the wind and road noise that translates inside the cabin?
My 2wd, Touring comes with the acoustically improved windshield/windows. My Passport is very quiet inside. Plus, I kinda crank the 550w stereo, SO, I ain't hearing nothing else, LOL.
I wish they made the styling more unique and distinctive.
Yea I agree - it's so much the Pilot - I jsut don't get it.
It's the "Honda Style". I guess it's easier for the designers to come up with something. I noticed the trend when the new Accord came out. I wasn't a big fan of the "bigger Civic" look.
At least the exterior is completely deferent than Pilot, it’s more of a off-road style SUV than a minivan style.
Great timing! I was looking at getting a Passport!
Have one.. we love it
ron s It’s a rip-off
Seems like a con lol
does one always need to turn off the start/stop every time?
Vinorth Siva yep
It just seems like Honda didn't fully commit to off road capability with this Passport
Fangyi Deng
Impossible to have full off road capability on a unibody vehicle.
Like the look of the passport other than the blackout wheels. I don't understand this trend of blacking the wheels and trim of vehicles these days.
You said 3 inches shorter... Isn't it actually 6 inches shorter?
That's what she said.
Is that the ZF 9 speed transmission?
Yep.
Ow crap. 😖
Not sure. They have ZF 9 in Acura tlx and its horrible.
Yep, in my 3 month old, 2WD Touring, it felt "glitchy" at times. Kinda settled down now. But on Passport Forum, some have had bad fails. Hoping mine does well in time. Fun ride, I'm enjoying it. I came out of a '15 Highlander. peace, e.
My boi terry almost getting ran over by KBB 😂
Buy that shirt from Blipshift?
Are any manufacturers still making GDI-only engines? It's a major "feature" when making the buying decision.
avlisk what do you mean? gdi engines are horrible in hyundai’s case. so much carbon build up.
@@user-oq3lv6lv7x That's exactly what I mean. I see that many have gone to adding a port injector in addition to the GDI system to fix that issue. (Reference: Scotty Kilmer) But that adds complexity which can be simplified by using just a port injection system. I had the Hyundai GDI and I won't buy another car with that as the sole injection system. Thanks.
So basically you can get a Pilot for less and have more room. And it doesn’t compare to its rival, Toyota 4Runner. Did I get that right?
lol at him almost hitting that dude @1:49 and the cameraman just pans hard right to stare at a building
can the adaptive cruise control be turned off?
Yes, you can have no CC, "regular" CC, or the ACC. He's right, the ACC is kinda jerky, I either turn it off or use the "regular" CC.
My Ridgeline rear doors don't open very wide also
The Honda Pilot platform has never had wide opening rear doors, even when it first came out in the early 2000's
Maravilloso Kelley. Tus vídeos me encantan. Mi sueño ha sido siempre tener el Toyota 4Runner Limited. Para mí es el mejor de todos; es una nave como el Enterprise y tú eres el capitán Kirk. Un abrazo muy grande desde Colombia. ¡GRACIAS KELLEY!.
Micah, this or the Acura RDX? Which would you prefer.
RDX
If towing capacity is a consideration when comparing those two go with the passport. The Passport can tow between 3,500 and 5,000 pounds with its V6, while the RDX, like it's CR-V cousin, can only tow 1,500 pounds, with its 4-cylinder turbo. Having driven both of them, I can say the RDX handles better, feels more sporty, and has a cooler sunroof. But the Honda is more practical if you actually plan to take it adventuring, especially with its much larger cargo capacity (almost double that of the RDX).
guitarsunplugged The passport is more practical. I think it has better infotainment although graphics not so good. RDX despite it’s awful infotainment, for about the same price I might consider it.
joe TheBet I think you are comparing 2 diff categories. RDX is going to be smaller but sportier (and the new one in Rspec look good!) but if you want practicality with a kind ish luxury interior get a Passport. We have a EX-L and we love it
fender sarcasm or actual question?
Rear doors have never opened very wide on the pilots. Every generation.
Nice, looks like youre around long beach, signal hill, and the 405 fwy lol.
Nice car
lol I think its good, but that new Subaru Forester does it ALL
Plus their Radar eyesight system is one of the best
GoogleLeaveMyNameAlone the outback is more a competitor to this Honda. The forester goes up to bat against the cr-v.
Including blowing head gaskets. But if ur a hipster i get it
@@gigi9467 The head gasket issue is long gone my friend. Welcome to 2019.
Sirgromulus tell that to my friends dealing with the issues specially on the wrx lol
@@gigi9467 What model year(s) ?
Never seen this on the road and in CO or MN
I like Honda Passprot😊
Micah hates jaywalkers. (same)
I wonder why Passport gets worse highway mileage than Pilot when they have the same engine and transmission plus Passport is actually lighter? It’s because of higher ground clearance?
Yes
And bigger wheeels
I hate those off on engine at stop shit, I better be able to shut off at all times
Does it have a timing chain or belt?
I believe it's a belt.
Belt at 100k miles replace the belt and water pump.
Not sure why someone would buy a passport tbh. The CR-V gets 10MPG higher with better style and value. The Pilot has a 3rd row of seats and available panoramic moonroof. And if you really want a 2-row midsize suv, the Grand Cherokee, Chevrolet Blazer, & Ford Edge are unbeatable.
감사합니다 !
If I wanna car for off road How can I convince myself to get that tging over a Jeep cherokee!
Jeep Cherokee will spend more time in repair shop than on the road. Get Honda. Period.
Lol Jeep over Honda😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭
Dude that white van is always there
I’m still trying to decide between the Murano, Passport, Blazer, RDX, Sante Fe, RAV4 Hybrid, or CRV. There are too many options😁The gas mileage on the Passport is not good. 😒
Rav 4 Hybrid or Rav 4 adventure are the best!!
The new 2020 Outback XT looks pretty good!
Kenny Sanders you have logical choice. The midsize 2 row class can often overlap/compete with both the compact suv class and the compact lux class that you have represented by the rav and the rdx. The ravs segment can step on the passport’s segments by virtue of value and not making a large sacrifice on space. OTOH when you start to add options on this midsize class the price rubs up against RDX money. That’s why unless you’re Jeep I find this segment a little lackluster. If it were up to me I’d avoid the Chevy and Honda. Look hard at the Sante fe, rdx and rav. I hope I helped narrow it down so that you can chose among what suits you best. Toyota will give you the best value, Acura will give you the most premium experience and the sante fe is sized like the passport and murano but is a way better value.
Blade trash, slow and likes to blow head gaskets
Mark Leckband Thanks for your help. I totally agree with you.
*Skoda Kodiak* ❓
Wish the CRV in the back looked like this
Lol. Did not expect to hear Micah speak in Korean. 감사합니다! 😁

2nd cheapest trim is $36,000? You've GOT to be kidding!
John Doe the awd system is almost the same as acuras shawd.. adds so bucks on that unfortunately
Gorgeous, would love to own one as a daily.
I absolutely love my Passport! I take it offroading and camping. It handles the abuse like a champ! Well, it's not quite the same Passport...mine is a 1999, a bit more suited for harder trails
I will never forgive Honda for those taillights
same
The new Subaru Forester looks good.
run run far away, My 2014 forester has been worse car in 20 yrs for me, and CRV trans sucks, motor gaskets leaked already as is the norm with Subaru.... I will NEVER buy another Subaru POS
ㅋㅋㅋ감사합니다
Honda has never done automatic transmissions well
本田护照是我想要的车子，伴我行走天涯海角!
2:35 lmao!!!!
I lost my shit on that existential crisis joke. 10/10 did not expect that from a car reviewer. I'll be buying this vehicle only due to the comedic associations I now have with it...
Can you turn off VCM? No? Then I'll pass.
