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.
