2021 Honda Passport EX-L 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 9A)
276 of 280 people found this review helpful
Like Goldilocks, I wanted a vehicle that was "just right". One in which I could fit a lot of gear in a coverable cargo area. Three row vehicles have small coverable areas and once the 3rd row is dropped, the area isn't fully. Our Mazda CX-5 is terrific, but it doesn't easily accommodate multiple sets of golf clubs plus luggage. Since we never have a need for a 3rd passenger row, I limited my search to the Passport; Santa Fe; Outback; and Edge. Ruled out the Edge because of bad memories of prior Fords and lousy resale value. Drove the Outback, and I preferred the driving experience of the Mazda 3 hatchback I was trading in. Then drove the Passport and never bothered with the Santa Fe, which requires a big step in cost to get an engine with sufficient power. The Passport EX-L has everything we wanted and more in terms of options. The front seats are super-comfortable; rear seats have some adjustability and flip down with the touch of a button. The engine in Normal mode is highly responsive, throwing me back in the seat when I tromped on the gas at 50mph. Ride is exceptional, and it is very quiet. All the tech bells and whistles come with it, and the interface is intuitive. Push-button transmission takes some getting used to but works great. Cargo space behind the rear seats provides room for 4 sets of golf clubs - and then some. Overall MPG is 23 on recommended unleaded, mostly rural roads @40-60mph. It's a big vehicle, but not unwieldy, as it fits into normal parking places. UPDATE: I have owned my 2021 Passport EX-L for nearly 2 years and driven it 19,000 miles. It has delivered flawless service, and averages 26 mpg on 87 octane in a semi-rural environment. Loves: spacious and comfortable seating for front and rear seat passengers; excellent ride on paved or gravel surfaces; quiet; nice sound system; plenty of storage and luggage capacity; good handling; comprehensive technology package that allows some annoying features to be turned off. Dislikes: push-button transmission; automatic braking system that can over-react; no rain gutter for doors means you and the interior part of the door get wet upon opening.
Great SUV

2021 Honda Passport Touring 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 9A)

I have never purchased a vehicle as loaded with pleasant surprises as my new 2021 Honda Passport. I purchased the Touring AWD model because of it's standard features. For a relatively large SUV, the Passport has a powerful and responsive 6 cylinder engine, handles great and is fun to drive with a variety of driver assist and safety features that all work very well. The interior is roomy and comfortable not only for the driver but also for the front and rear seat passengers. Both front seats are power adjustable and the rear seats manually adjust to provide more comfortable seating for rear seat passengers. The climate control system has 3 zones which allow everyone in vehicle to adjust heat and air conditioning to their preference. The cargo area is big enough to accommodate luggage for 4 passengers with the rear seats up and an even more impressive amount of cargo with the rear seats down.

My employer has a big fleet of vehicles for business travel. We have access to many types of cars, truck, and SUVs. The Passport is my favorite ride for any time of the year but especially for winter driving over snowy mountain passes. It is outstandling on all roads with excellent AWD and traction systems, very stable & predictable with a car-like ride. It is also very comfortable for my family's personal trips. It is as good in the snow as my Subaru but has more space & comfort, perfect for family ski trips. Typical Honda with the best ergo design for drivers and lots of smart options without being gimmicky. It is nice to have manual knob on sound system too! Good fuel mileage on eco mode. It is hard to find negatives but I can offer suggestions in the hopes that a Honda engineer might see this: the transmission is a bit uncertain about gear selection esp up & down hills. the transmission selection buttons sit low in the dark console, forces the driver to take eyes off the road for too long while searching for the right button. the venitilation controls are also small & dark so takes some extra attention to adjust. i am comparing these to a 2018 Ridgeline which I sometimes drive. picky stuff that i only notice because so much else is excellent about this passport.

Passport to the Future

2021 Honda Passport Elite 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 9A)

Before purchasing I was deciding between the 4Runner and Passport. I wanted a dependable vehicle that was off road capable but also fuel efficient. While neither are very fuel efficient the Passport is rated better. I also wanted a vehicle that was comfortable for long road trips. The Passport checked all the boxes. In the short time that I have had the Passport I am getting 27 on highway trips with plenty of comfort. The heated and ventilated seats are really a nice touch. In the cold climate the rear heated seats are appreciated along with the HVAC controls. Another nice feature is the Honda torque vectoring AWD. There is always at least 20% of the power going to the rear wheels. I highly recommend this vehicle to anyone needing a comfortable road cruiser with off-road capability.

Handles better than you'd think for 4400 lbs.

I love driving. To me, a station wagon is the ideal vehicle, but they don't make them anymore, and our old Acura TSX Wagon did not have enough power and it was FWD only... so we got an '18 Ridgeline BE. Excellent, but I don't like how trucks load.. so back to the wagons. I don't need three rows, but I'm sold on the rear torque vectoring of SH-AWD and iVMT4 so we knew it couldn't be an Odyssey. The Pilot is too big, too softly sprung and it's D pillar is too mommy looking. The Passport, looks very nice, just like a little boy ready to play. So we got an Elite AWD. We had some teething issues with popping noised caused by the media connector from the CAN bus into the Navi head end, but they fixed it. On the open road, on half use of cruise control at 80 mph I can get 430 miles per tank with another 30 to go. Perfect for long drives. We've done a number of NON STOP 1200 miles in it, my wife and I, with just four quick stops, 17 hours.. so we find the seats comfortable, the ride smooth, the handling secure, the stereo works fine (I use my Android phone, USB and Tidal HiFi with 500 records downloaded into its 512GB flash) and the car is easy to drive and very sure footed. You ought to see me go through the turns on the I5 around Mt. Shasta. The CHP gave me a warning... wife told me NOT TO say anything about the rear torque vectoring. It also swallows a lot of cargo with the back seats down. Other than the lawyers and their doodah restrictions like the engine stop, having to stop to change NAVI destinations, etc... the vehicle serves our needs very well. The shifter? Not an issue, I'm used to the design and I use the paddle shifters. I do wish, however, it had the 10AT and not the 9AT with the dog gear between 4th and 5th. It sucks on downshifts, but you only notice that when the drive the truck as if it were my old GSR/RSX-S/CRX or a number of Sis. We intend to purchase this Passport when it comes out of its lease, something we seldom do with our cars. Which, is the highest praise I can give a car. EDIT: Well, when it came off its lease, the resale value was likt 85% off MSRP.... dang it... so we took the option and extended the lease. After 3+ years, mostly working from home, we're still in it and at only 30K miles the Passport still feels new.
