Want a used Honda Passport but don’t know which is best for you? Here at Jarrett, we want to make sure you get the best vehicle possible, so we’ll be breaking down the generations, and their features. The Passport comes with bold styling, some great reliability, and even better features. Here is what to look for when buying a used Honda Passport.

Key takeaways

  • If you’re wanting something from the fourth generation but can’t seem to find one, later third generations are pretty similar.
  • The third generation comes with better mileage, but not by much since both generations use the same engine.
  • If you’re wanting something that is more off-road capable in the third generation, you’ll have to look for a TrailSport.

Fourth Generation (2026-Present)

Used Honda Passport Fourth Generation Buying Guide

At the time of writing this article, the fourth generation Passport is still very new, but over time, it may be possible to find a used 2026 model, and if you find yourself looking at one, it’s best to know what to expect.

Hitting the roads in early 2025, the Passport comes in three trims, these are the RLT, TrailSport, and TrailSport Elite. If you find a TrailSport, you’ll be able to see that it comes with increased ground clearance, and an increased dash-to-axle ratio. The TrailSport also comes with All-Terrain tires, steel skid plated, and a unique tuned suspension to make off-roading more comfortable.

For the entire lineup, you can look for some great features. The features that come with this generation is a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system. This infotainment system comes with Google built-in with wireless phone connectivity.

This generation also comes with the most cargo space in the history of the Passport. With all seats in place, you will be able to use 44 cu ft of space, but with the rear seats folded down, you can enjoy 83.5 cu ft of storage.

If you want to take the vehicle off-roading, you may be able to find a model that is equipped with the picnic accessory, using the cargo shelf, and underfloor storage area. Currently, the Passport is powered by a 3.5L V6 engine across the line. At its best, the Passport can get 21 MPG combined, having just under 400 miles of range at 388 miles. If you opt for a TrailSport model, you will get 370 miles, thanks to the combined MPG taking a slight hit at 20 MPG.

Third Generation (2019-2025)

Used Honda Passport Third Generation Buying Guide

Moving on to a generation that you will be more likely to find, this is the third generation. It comes with some great features, much like the most recent generation.

At launch, the Passport came in 4 trims. These were the Sport, EX-L, Touring, and Elite trims. Most trims come standard with FWD, having AWD as an option. The only trim that comes standard with AWD is the Elite.

Much like the fourth generation, this one is powered by a 3.5L V6, but this one gets slightly better mileage. The Passport is able to get 22 MPG combined, getting 429 miles of total range.

While most models you’ll find come with FWD, if you find one that is equipped with the AWD system, you’ll find that it comes with drive settings. These settings are Normal, Sand, Snow, and Mud.

Thanks to the different drivetrains, you’ll be treated to different ground clearance heights. The FWD comes with 7.5-inches of clearance, while the AWD has 8.1-inches of clearance. This makes the AWD even better for off-road enthusiasts.

Like we touched on earlier, the fourth generation does have great cargo space, but so does this generation. With all seats in place, you have access to 41 cu-ft of space, but with the rear seats down you now have 78 cu-ft of space to use.

When the 2021 model year was introduced, so was the new 8-inch touchscreen. This came with phone connectivity, helping make the Passport even greater. The 2022 year model was also a great year for the Passport as it saw the introduction of the TrailSport trim. This comes with all-weather TrailSport-logoed floormats, and all-season tires with a more aggressive tread. This year also saw the removal of the Sport, and Touring trims, leaving the EX-L, TrailSport, and Elite trims. For the 2023 model, the FWD option was completely discontinued, making the Passport solely AWD.

Is a used Passport a good buy?

Yes, the Passport is a good buy. If you’re looking for something rugged, and capable, then you won’t find something better. Coming with a ton of room, and great mileage, you’ll be happy with your decision no matter the year. Come see us here at Jarrett for more info!
