2019 Honda Passport | The Go-Anywhere Honda?

Honda is marketing the new Passport 2-row CUV as the off-road alternative to the Nissan Murano, Ford Edge and Hyundai Santa Fe. In reality, the new Passport isn't a "Honda Grand Cherokee" but it is more capable than the average mid-size CUV and likely as capable as most shoppers will ever need. But how does it stack up against the competition on the road? So far, no changes are expected for 2020.

I have been waiting for your detailed review of this Honda Passport. Your reviews are the most informative to me. Thanks

Been waiting for your review on the new Passport. Thanks Alex!

For me this and Ridgeline are best Honda products today. I still prefer Ridgeline because of its six speed, but this Passport is great.

I'm a fan of this entire "tweener" category of crossovers that average around 189"-190" in length and includes the Edge, the new Blazer, the Santa Fe, the Grand Cherokee, the Passport, the Outback, etc. As a group, they're larger than those in the compact segment but half a foot or more shorter than the larger three row crossover category. In fact, it may be surprising to find that most vehicles in this category are an inch or so shorter than a midsize sedan like the Accord and Camry, making maneuvering in traffic and parking more convenient. And if one hangs a bike rack on the back, extending the length by 12"-18" it can make the difference between fitting a vehicle in a crowded garage and lowering the door or removing the rack. When my wife and I were shopping for a new SUV last year, we zeroed in on vehicles in of this size.

Great detailed review as usual. I really like the Passport. I’m leaning heavily in making this my next vehicle purchase. I own the 2018 Subaru Outback and Ive been happy with it, no problems. I want a taller driver door opening. I have arthritis pain so scrunching up to get in the Outback is getting to be a drag. I like and am the the Honda Passport, Toyota RAV4 Adventure and Subaru Forester. It’s too soon for me to buy a new vehicle but your reviews will help me make a good decision. Thank you for the detail, grade rating and comparisons.

Love the passport but throw in a pano roof and 360° cam and it would be absolutely perfect. Seriously Honda, just add those two items, even as available options, and it’s golden.

Because of you, Im a happy and very proud owner of it. Thank you so much for the awesome reviews!

Thanks Alex. Good to know.

Great video Alex .

I just got an EX-L Passport and love it. One thing I really like about the EX-L trim versus the higher Touring and Elite is the EX-L uses matte gray plastic instead of gloss piano black for the interior. The EX-L wheels are also gray/steel instead of gloss black. The matte gray looks way way better and more upscale than the gloss black IMHO.

I disagree that there isn't a difference in the driving experience between a Pilot and Passport. I test drove both on the same day and thought the Passport was faster and smoother. Good review, nonetheless. :)

thanks, good review

[@vitazgal9933]

My goodness you're good! I already bought the Higlander(used) and now I am thinking of getting this or pathfinder as well....I've got to

[@catt698]

great review

[@bird718]

as long as it can take a good size ladder and 4x8 boards its all good in this segment

[@gregtwogood9442]

Good point about cup holders on doors

[@darrelpeters]

Great review from Alex as usual. It’s funny how these car manufacturers are toting crossovers as off road utility vehicles. They just don’t have the ground clearance or suspension setup for more than a rough dirt road for occasional use. With that said, when my Santa Fe sport 2.0 finally dies (if it ever does) I’ll be looking at one of these for daily driver use. It’s hard to beat Honda’s reliability and practicality.

[@MrNemo721]

I'm seeing these everywhere now. I guess there is a good market for people who want a 5 seater Pilot.

[@BTC909]

That ZF 9 Speed is the Achilles Heal. If you press D/S twice every time it isn't as bad.

Hi Alex, you do a heck of a job reviewing so many vehicles, but I have to wonder why the Passport gets the same A for 71 decibels that the Santa Fe gets for 69 decibels? I also wonder why the Passport gets another A for 21 mpg, when the Santa Fe in your Tests gets only a C+ for 22 mpg. I love that you put a lot of measurable numbers, but it seems that if you put these numbers for the Passport, you need to raise the Santa Fe scores to be consistent. Thanks again for all the reviews and all the information.
