Add a bit of adventure into your drive

The 2024 Honda Passport is a midsize, two-row SUV that comes with three trim options: EX-L, TrailSport, and Black Edition (which replaces the previous year's Elite trim). New for 2024, the TrailSport has a more off-road-ready suspension system. This spacious ride is great for adventuresome singles that travel with a dog and camping gear, or a growing family that needs room for child seats and hockey practice bags. The 2024 Honda passport seats five.

5 reasons to buy the 2024 Honda Passport

1. Loaded base trim 

The 2024 Honda Passport EX-L base trim comes with many standard features found on the mid-level trims of other SUVs in this class. Drivers will enjoy the remote start, sunroof, power liftgate, leather upholstery, heated front seats, and seven-speaker audio system.

This sharp ride is sure to impress, whether you're giving the neighbor a quick ride or shuttle clients around for work each day. 

2. Off-road capabilities 

If the thought of blazing a trail on your rural property or navigating rough, rocky desert terrain makes you smile, be sure to browse the 2024 Honda Passport TrailSport. There's a 280-hp, 3.5L V6 under the hood, a nine-speed automatic transmission, 8.1 inches of ground clearance, a navigation system, and suspension designed for off-road experiences. The exterior of the TrailSport also looks a bit more rugged with the roof rails. 

3. Pleasure to drive 

Sure, an SUV isn't a sports car, but it can have some punch too. The zippy acceleration, smooth shifting transmission, and responsive steering mean everyone in the household with a license will want to get behind the wheel. The 2024 Honda Passport is also a quiet ride, with little wind or road noise making it into the cabin. 

4. Sharp black-out option 

Hate chrome? The Black Edition 2024 Honda Passport will make you feel like you're driving a top-secret government vehicle thanks to the black grille, black molding, and black trim. The wheel area is even painted black for a seamless look against the tires. This ride would make quite a statement as a fleet vehicle for a high-end business, such as a law firm. 

5. Ample cargo space 

In addition to hauling five passengers, the 2024 Honda Passport has room for luggage and more. Behind the second-row seats, you'll enjoy 41 cu-ft of storage space. If you don't have backseat passengers, fold the rear row down to free up a total of 78 cu-ft of room for a pet kennel, sports gear, or project supplies from the home improvement store. There's also a roomy center console bin, large door pockets, and additional cubbies available to stow away snacks and sunglasses.

Cost

According to RepairPal, cost is the average total annual cost for unscheduled repairs and maintenance across all model years of a vehicle. Higher average cost alone does not necessarily mean a vehicle is less reliable.

The related cost of a specific vehicle may vary depending on its maintenance and driving history, model year, trim, and features.

These ratings are based on RepairPal Reliability data for select August 2023 vehicles as of August 2023. Learn more about RepairPal reliability ratings

RepairPal reports that the average total annual cost for repairs and maintenance on a Honda Passport is $391, compared to an average of $473 for Compact SUVs and $591 for all the vehicles RepairPal considered in its dataset.

Frequency

According to RepairPal, frequency is the average number of times the vehicle is brought into the shop for unscheduled repairs and maintenance in a single year. RepairPal reports that it calculates this metric by tracking millions of unique vehicles over multiple years to determine an average number of visits per year for each make and model; and that controls are included to omit small routine visits to shops (such as for oil changes).

The frequency of such visits for a specific vehicle may vary depending on its maintenance and driving history, model year, trim, and features.

These ratings are based on RepairPal Reliability data for select August 2023 vehicles as of August 2023. Learn more about RepairPal reliability ratings

According to RepairPal, Honda Passport owners bring their vehicles into a repair shop for unscheduled repairs an average of 0.1 times per year, compared to an average of 1.0 times for Compact SUVs and 1.3 times for all the vehicles RepairPal considered in its dataset.

Severity

According to RepairPal, severity measures the probability that a repair will be a major issue. RepairPal reports that an issue is considered severe if a repair costs three-times the average annual repair cost for all models. This threshold will be higher for vehicles that have higher labor rates and parts costs (such as a premium brand).

The severity of repairs for a specific vehicle may vary depending on its maintenance and driving history, model year, trim, and features.
