Review, Price and Specifications Honda Passport 2023

The Passport EX-L is our pick because it’s reasonably priced and includes desirable features like leather upholstery, a sunroof, and a large touchscreen with smartphone mirroring. All-wheel drive has been made standard on the base EX-L for 2023, another reason to choose it.

Engine, transmission and performance

Under the hood is the 280-hp 3.5-liter V-6 and nine-speed automatic found on the Pilot. Passport is flexibility in our testing, Its ride is comfortable on most roads, and the steering is directly pleasant, making it feel nimble. It also has 8.1 inches of ground clearance, enough to get you over a large amount of rough terrain without tearing the underside — but this is by no means a serious off-roader. However, it’s not a bad trailer, can tow up to 5000 pounds.

Real-world fuel economy and MPG

Now that Honda has paired the Passport V6 with all-wheel drive – having tweaked the front-wheel drive configuration for the 2023 model year – we expect it to receive a single EPA rating similar to all-wheel-drive models are rated 2022 full-time because they are mechanically identical. Passport for 2022 is ranked 19th in the city and 24th on the highway with an aggregate rating of 21 miles per gallon. We averaged just 17 mpg in a couple of weeks with the 2022 TrailSsport. It averaged 23 mpg on our 75 mph fuel economy route — part of the Our extensive testing mode— 1 mpg short of its EPA highway rating.

Furniture, Amenities and Merchandise

Anyone who has experienced the interior of Honda Ridgeline instantly familiar with the Passport’s cabin. Despite the unremarkable design, the materials are attractive enough and the controls are nicely organized — although we would have liked more buttons and knobs instead of the touchscreen controls. . The front seats are wide and comfortable, with ergonomic armrests that can be adjusted for optimal comfort. The back seat is also spacious and allows the Passport to carry up to five people. There’s 41 cubic feet of storage space behind the rear seats, which can hold our 15 suitcases. Folding that row opens up 78 blocks of room and a total capacity of 33 bags. Interior storage is generally excellent thanks to useful bins throughout the cabin and a large center console bin.

Infotainment and connectivity

Each Passport comes with an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It also includes Bluetooth and a wireless smartphone charging dock. A seven-speaker sound system is offered on the EX-L and TrailSport models, while a ten-speaker audio system is upgraded on the flagship Passport Elite. A 115-volt outlet is also standard on TrailSport and Elite models. However, buyers looking for Wi-Fi hotspot availability will have to opt for the Elite, as it’s not offered on the lower EX-L and TrailSport models.
