Used Honda Passport Buying Guide

• The best used Honda Passport years are in the third generation, with anything after 2021 being the best one for tech.
• While this is a two row SUV, if you or your kids are needing more room, then you can lay down the second row, unlocking a ton more room.
• No matter which trim you get, or year, the Passport comes with some great mileage, able to get up to 22 MPG combined. Making this the perfect daily driver, and family vehicle.
• If you’re not wanting something that looks like a soccer mom drives it, then you can look for a TrailSport trim. This adds some rugged features to the Passport, making it a great option for those who want to have some fun off of the pavement.

With this generation being so new, it may be harder to find one of these at the time this article goes out, but over time, they will slowly start to enter the market, so we’ll cover them briefly. With this generation, you can look for some of the most room available in the Passports life, coming with 44 cu ft, going up to 83.5 cu ft when the rear seats are folded. This gives you tons of space, making it a great option for families who need extra storage.

For a generation that you’re more likely to find, there’s the third gen. No matter the year, you’ll find that these models come with the same 3.5L V6 engine that is paired to a 9-speed automatic. This engine comes with a surprising amount of power, coming with 280 horsepower, and 262 lb-ft of torque. The EPA also rated this engine at 22 MPG combined, making it a solid daily driver.

If you’re looking for the best tech that you can find from this generation, then you want something that comes after 2021 as all models are equipped with an 8-inch touchscreen that comes standard with both Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.

This generation also came in a handful of trims, but not all were available at the same time. The trims that you can look for are the Sport, EX-L, Touring, Elite, and the TrailSport. Of these trims, the most unique one is the TrailSport. This is because it comes standard with AWD, as well as off-road tuning. This was the first of its kind for any Honda model. For 2024 models, the TrailSport saw some better suspension join the lineup, making it even better than before.

While features, and trims are cool, there is something else that makes the Passport desirable, and that's safety. In 2019, the IIHS has given the Passport Top Safety Pick. This makes it so that when your family is in the vehicle with you, they’ll be safe.

With the generations that came before this one, there’s a large leap in quality as this gen is almost a decade newer, and came after a slight hiatus. Anything before this generation will be harder to find.
