Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The 2021 Honda Passport stamps its own personality from Pilot running gear, with a slight tilt in the off-road direction.

Pros
Big interior space
Refined highway driver
Works fine in moderate off-roading
Standard safety gear

Cons
9-speed automatic gets confused
Not much bigger than CR-V
The adventure’s missing from the look
No low-ratio four-wheeling

The 2021 Honda Passport comes with all wheel drive, and front wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 9-speed shiftable automatic.All trims now have the 8-inch touchscreen and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard equipment.

Pros
Spacious interior with lots of passenger space
Comfortable front seats
Many clever storage compartments

Cons
Adaptive cruise control is only available over 20 mph
Driver's seat might be positioned a little high for some people

The 2021 Passport only receives a small update for the new model year, with base models adding a newly standard 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system versus the old 5.0-inch display. The rest of the lineup is unchanged except for a small increase in starting prices.

Pros
Spacious interior for people and cargo,
powerful V-6 engine,
plenty of standard safety features.

Cons
Base model isn’t well equipped,
occasional rough ride,
not so stylish.
