Love that they kept the v6 - not only a proven great performer but likely very reliable with high resale value.

awesome they kept the na v6 and no turbo crud we need more cars like these

I have a 2020 Passport AWD. Was $36k when purchased, now $41.9k hmmm. 45 thousand miles and zero problems, plenty spacious. Give us the 10 speed and life is good.

Great vehicle, that color is SONIC GRAY not the Diffused blue. Good review though 👍🏻

I have a 2019 Passport Elite and I love the push button shifter. I purchased mine new and have 60K miles on it. It's been great for me.

I consider this a CUV version of the 4Runner. Love that Honda offers a metal skid plate and rear swing away tire carrier. Great job Honda. Only way it could be better is if you were to bring back the individual adjustable arm rests.

That's not Diffused Sky Pearl, that's Sonic Grey

Sweet machine! I’m more looking forward to this series of videos on the Passport then the Cybertruck if that helps 😎👍

New Honda V6 (like the Pilot) and 10speed Next year. More skid plates and more revisions coming! The entire vehicle is in line for total redo with the Ridgeline coming very soon.

This is fantastic. Honda Passport TrailSport is absolutely perfect for many people. I even tell my friends to look at 2024 Pilot Trailsport too. A/T tires, skids, etc a very nice package for outdoor activities. I see many compare with 4Runner and complain 4Runner mpg. Have to remember 4Runner is old tech and does not have fancy cylinder deactivation or anything like that. 4Runners run on all 6 cylinders all the time and also have port injection. And 4Runner is a SUV and Pilot / Passport is a car with a big body. Per my weight video I was surprised to see that my 4Runner Limited is 5060lbs. Probably because 3rd row seats. Love to see comparison Passport Trailsport vs 4Runner TRD Pro (since both come with A/T tires, etc from factory). Even mpg test (4Runner would fail so bad, LoL) or even towing test. I wonder if Passport AWD also rated for 3500lbs like the 2023Pilot with ZF9? Hope TFL don't over tow and over heat the transmission. I bet they would read the towing section in owners manual before test. Looking for a fantastic test and be an eye opener for some what these things can do.

Hate to break it to you guys. That’s not the blue one. That’s the primer, I mean sonic gray pearl

How does a 24 valve engine V6 only have 2 valves/cylinder?

I’m looking forward to your testing of the PASSPORT especially since I plan on buying one!!! Thx guys!! 💕

I have a 2021 Passport Elite that I bought new for $46,300. Great deal because it was 0% financing. Love the response that 3.5 gives me. 5.7, 0 to 60 in sport mode. I’m not big on off roading but great in snow. Has every option as the one in this video. Suspension is slight different. Only thing I dislike is that stupid arm rest. Glad they finally changed it.

The Passport you have is Sonic Gray Pearl. Diffused Sky Blue is a bubble gum blue and very very comic blue than Sonic Grey Pearl. Also, they had Sonic Grey last year and in 2022 so it’s not a new color for this year - but you are correct that Diffused Sky Blue is, you just don’t have it lol

Looks great, I wish it had the new pilot interior though

Before the business venture with Isuzu, the passport name was used on 2 seater Honda cubs starting in 1980. Not to mention the odyssey and pilot use to be off-road UTV’s. What the heck happened Honda.

Honda needs to step up the game on the interior design.

Hopefully the Grabber AT sports are quieter than the AT/X on my Tremor… those emit a high pitched howl from like 30-70 mph

That is not diffused sky blue, that's sonic grey.

50g’s?! For a Passport? Nice car and all, but just get the 4Runner for that price.

And like for the 2024 Ridgeline they brought back the full center console and got rid of the minivan style armrests!

Soooo.......they put different tires to make it an "off road" package?

i wish they can make the screen wider, make the 2nd seat recline more, back floormat into rubber or plastic

Finnally, We get rid of the space intruding shifter..........My 68 Dodge didn't have one either........Paul

I like how all these cars are becoming identical. We are getting to the point where is one button is out of place i6t gets called out... but "out of place" is compared to the collectives agreement where it belongs. In another 5 years you won't be able to tell the difference on the inside from a 100k car to a 45k car.

I would like to see you folks measure the distance between the furthest back part of the back o the rear seat straight back to the front of the lift gate to see how far that is. To be specific - my amp cabs fit in my current 2012 Pilot with the rear seat up so that I can stack guitars in there safely. I want to know how much room is in the Passport so I will know if the cabs will fit in a Passport.

How would you compare top lines of Passport and Pilot?

That’s Sonic Gray. Not Diffused Sky Blue

Thank you!

It seems like they designed that push button transmission for the odyssey and just kinda tacked it onto other models. They should have used a shifter for other models.

beautiful car

"...more off-roady..." "...competition for the 4Runner..."?!?! General Grabber A/T tires are a good add, but they hardly make up for the lack of approach angle, ground clearance, etc. This seems more of just another cosmetic attempt to look like it is more capable. I'd compare this more to the Highlander than the 4Runner.

Is it more snow worthy is what I need to know

Honda really needs to do better with their styling. Very solid other than that

You say it’s diffused sky blue but the cloud cover and camera must make it look like their Sonic Gray color. Weird.

Honda. Bring back the Element. Make it a Trail Sport or Hybrid or whatever. Just leave the Passport alone andgive us a New Element.

I call it off Mall

Wait that’s a sonic gray paint lol. My wife’s 2023 passport has that - they just changed the name of the color hahaha!

@1:58 Nor does Mazda or VW make an off-road car either. Many years ago when VW made their first attempt to build a true SUV with the Touareg, it was considered too expensive for a VW, and no one would buy it. Even though it was a worthy off-roader replete with up to 3 lockers, hill-climb assist, skid plates and height adjustable suspension, low range, along with a fully clad luxury interior equivalent to what you'd find in a Range Rover today. You could order it with a V-6/V-6 diesel, V-8, V-10 diesel, or W-12 (yes folks, VW got there first). What's truly ironic, is that the price (inflation notwithstanding) near the same as what Honda is asking for this Passport today. Having learned that lesson, VW tried again with a slightly less off-road -- but still capable version of the Tiguan (VW's best seller world-wide) and that one also fail miserably in the U.S. We North Americans can be a fickled crowd.

Great looking but that push button for the transmission I hate it.

You ignore the elephant in the room This looks like a frumpy Van 😅😅😅

I saw the spy shots for the 2025 model

I was loving it until I heard how much it costs.

Honda should sell the Passport in Australia.

Stay away from that 9 speed transmission. My Honda Pilot with the 9 speed failed at 78,000 miles. Other Honda owners have had issues with the VF supplied 9 speed. Honda ditched the 9 speed for a new 10 speed in the 2024 Pilot. Hhhhmmmmm?

I used to own a Passport/Trailsport. Nice vehicle, but overpriced imo.

cool car, but the color looks like somebody polished the primer 😝

Big fail by not putting the 10 speed in this model too.

$55,000 for this in Canada.. That’s 10k more than my Outback Wilderness. This is an absolute rip off.

I love Hondas, and I also love the General Grabber tires. However, dont be fooled by the Grabbers on this model. They are not the same as a real General Grabber ATX tire. I dont actually know the true specs of this factory provided tire, but it doesn't look the same as a true General Grabber all terrain tire, so dont expect it to perform as well as a real one. I may be wrong, but i doubt it.

Just buy a 4runner

Still waiting for Honda to build ANYTHING with an actual 4x4 / Low Range system... I owned a Honda Passport back in 2000 which was a real SUV, these have become total NPC appliances, about as exciting as a new refrigerator. It's sad to say, but Honda doesnt even build a single vehicle I want or would actually consider buying... not a single one. Its not like these crossovers get amazing gas mileage or do anything special, if I wanted a family hauler that can do forest roads/handle snow I would immediately go for a Highlander Hybrid which would blow this Passport away in fuel economy, and if I want a Japanese offroader, ill stick with my outdated 4Runner on 35s with metal bumpers & sliders... the aftermarket offroad support for these Hondas is kind of a joke to be perfectly honest. < someone with a 4Runner, ETransit van & Bolt EV

Better than trashy Rivian r1s

Still no low-range, c’mon Honda, pull it together! Great video TFl!

Please get a haircut tommy

We all know how! They called it the "trailsport" .is like when you call a Plymouth a "voyager". It makes you think that you can really go places! Lol. On top if that, $50k plus interest you end up paying 60k crazzzzyyyyyyy

Why would you buy this fake off-roader. For that amount of money you can get a real off-roader

Apparently Honda thinks it can continue to milk sales of the Passport just by adding a flimsy, mini skid plate and some AT's? This outdated offering simply dilutes the worth of their TrailSport package. I'd be pissed if I was an owner of a new Pilot TS lol

Honda needs to get their prices in check. I know they make great vehicles but when you're approaching $50K there's really no incentive to get something like this over say the 4 Runner. It's the same story with the Ridgeline. They made the trailsport version but that truck is really not an off road truck. It's great for hauling bulky things on road and has good ride quality but when the Tacoma and Ridgeline are almost identical in price why choose the less capable one?

Lol old engine, old transmission. Honda doesn’t even try even though they have the new 3.5 DOHC, 10 speed transmission and they want you to pay 50K. Stop buying if you want Honda to change their culture.

So $61,713 🇨🇦 for that ?! Nah.

Honda is overpriced,,,. Utilitarian interiors equal cheap to produce. The motor is getting very long in the tooth and for those that want to own them for hundreds of thousands of miles like the 4Runner, there’s that d*mn timing belt as part of the routine maintenance. The timing belt is never discussed, but for the first while people sure b*tched about the belt in the Chevy 3.0 litre diesel!!! That requires replacement about 1/2 as often ad the Honda 3.5 does,,,,. Honda does produce very comfortable seats, I like the looks of this vehicle but I wouldn’t consider it for off-road use. I would buy a 4Runner if I needed this. My wife bought a Subaru Crosstrek Limited, 2024, and it has 8.5” of clearance vs the Honda 8.1”. I suspect the Honda will be the better off-road vehicle of the two, even if we put all terrain tires on the Crosstrek (we put all weathers on it though, we live in Alberta, Canada). Definitely a better approach angle on the Honda, departure is comparable. They did improve the transmission a lot, if you get the 2.5 litre, and it’s much better and with a 7.8 second 0-60 time, it’s quick. It’s not meant to be a race car. I suspect the Passport is at least 2 seconds quicker 0-60 though. Very different vehicles and about $20,000 Canadian apart in price!! My wife likes the Subaru and it’s solely her crossover, so it works for us! I drive several classic trucks and. Ford Ranger currently.
