Overview
The 2024 Honda Passport, a midsize SUV, offers the spaciousness and capability of its 3-row counterpart, the Pilot, but with the added benefit of accommodating two rows of seating. Known for its generous interior space and strong resale value, the Passport appeals to buyers seeking a versatile family vehicle without the need for a third row. While it shares the platform with the Pilot, it’s important to note that it’s not the latest generation. Despite lacking features like wireless Apple CarPlay and Traffic Jam Assist, commonly found in newer Honda models, the Passport remains a reliable choice for various journeys, whether urban commutes, extended road trips, or off-road adventures.
What’s New for 2024?
Honda has enhanced the TrailSport trim of the Passport, aligning it more closely with its Pilot counterpart by introducing a specialized off-road suspension, all-terrain tires, and additional body protection. The Black Edition replaces the previous Elite version as the top-tier trim, boasting a sleek and refined aesthetic. Furthermore, the center console has undergone a redesign to maximize storage capacity. To cater to off-road enthusiasts, Honda now offers aftermarket packages aimed at augmenting the Passport’s off-road capabilities.
2024 Honda Passport Models and Pricing
The base model of the 2024 Honda Passport, the EX-L with all-wheel drive and leather seating as standard, starts at $41,900, and it’s the preferred option for many buyers. Conversely, the top-tier Black Edition model doesn’t offer an extensive list of optional features to increase its price, as nearly everything comes standard with this trim level.
| 2024 Honda Passport | MSRP |
| Passport EX-L | $41,900 |
| Passport TrailSport | $44,500 |
| Passport Black Edition | $47,970 |
Expansive Interior
Measuring just under 16 feet long, the 2-row Passport stands 10 inches shorter than its 3-row sibling, the Pilot, yet offers ample space for passengers and cargo. Opting for a spacious interior over seating for seven may be a compelling choice for many.
As expected from Honda, the build quality is commendable, and the materials used are of high quality. Wide-opening doors and numerous storage compartments, including a sizable cubby in the redesigned center console, enhance convenience.
This model features integrated armrests and an expanded wireless charging tray capable of accommodating two large phones simultaneously. The 2024 TrailSport edition boasts orange contrast stitching, while the new Black Edition showcases red contrast stitching.
With 39.6 inches of rear legroom, adults can sit comfortably in the back, while cargo space ranges from a generous 41.2 cubic feet behind the rear seats to an expansive 77.7 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down — offering class-leading capacity.
Additionally, the Passport effortlessly accommodates larger items such as mountain bikes, with convenient buttons in the cargo area facilitating the folding of the rear seatbacks.
Chunky Exterior
The Passport’s charmingly robust design resonates with us. Its rugged appearance suggests a capability to tackle challenging terrains with ease.
The enhanced TrailSport variant, in particular, features elevated suspension, all-terrain tires, protective body cladding, and sturdy steel skid plates safeguarding the undercarriage.
Additionally, the TrailSport edition offers the exclusive color choice of Diffused Sky Blue, adding to its distinctive appeal.
Meanwhile, the Black Edition comes in Sonic Gray, Platinum White, Radiant Red, and the classic Crystal Black Pearl, offering a range of stylish options for discerning buyers.
