The 2023 Honda Passport is a two-row, midsize SUV designed with adventure in mind. It comes standard with V6 power, as well as family-friendly features.

What’s New for the 2023 Honda Passport

The significant change for the ’23 Passport is the inclusion of standard all-wheel drive (AWD). Otherwise, the Passport is a carryover from the ’22 model, which received updated styling and the available TrailSport trim.

Design

Trims for the 2023 Passport are EX-L, TrailSport, and the range-topping Elite. The EX-L and Elite trims come with 20-inch alloy wheels. The TrailSport features 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in more aggressive tires. This trim also comes with functional roof rails and LED fog lights.

Powertrain

A 3.5-liter V6 engine powers all versions of the Passport. It makes 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. Power is sent through a nine-speed automatic transmission to standard AWD. EPA estimates for fuel economy are 19 mpg city, 24 highway, and 21 combined. When properly equipped, the Honda Passport can tow up to 5,000 pounds.

Interior

The Passport provides up to 77.7 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded. With the rear seats in use, the Passport still provides 41.2 cubic feet of cargo space. The 2023 Passport comes standard with a power lift gate, while the Elite trim adds a hands-free power lift gate.

Standard features on the EX-L trim include leather upholstery, tri-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, power-adjustable front seats, push-button start, remote start, a power sunroof, and remote keyless entry.

The TrailSport trim features a unique cabin aesthetic with orange accent stitching. This trim also features rubber floor mats, ambient cabin lighting, rear sunshades, and a wall-style power outlet.

The Elite trim adds a heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, and heated rear seats.

Technology

All three trims of the 2023 Honda Passport come equipped with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It also comes standard with four USB ports, wireless device charging, HD radio, and satellite radio. The TrailSport comes with navigation, while the Elite adds a Wi-Fi hotspot and an upgraded 10-speaker stereo system.

Safety

Honda packs nearly all of the Passport’s driver-assistance tech as standard equipment. This means that forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, and lane-departure warning all come included on the Passport. Other standard features include front and rear parking sensors, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. Moving up to the Elite trim adds rain-sensing windshield wipers.

Pricing

At the time of this writing, base MSRP for the 2023 Honda Passport is $41,100 for the EX-L trim. The TrailSport starts at $43,600, and the range-topping Elite trim starts at $46,560. The Honda Passport is backed by a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty.

This is an excellent SUV for anyone who does not need a full-sized vehicle. It handles well, is comfortable, and the amenities are superb. Dec 18, 2024

This vehicle is fast! Our Accord touring model was totaled by a girl texting and driving and my wifes lucky to be alive that Accord saved her so our loyalty is to Honda. We couldnt stomach the new Accords engine so we opted for the good old 3.5 bullet proof V6 in the Passport the HPD trim. Its really quick has endless storage space rides higher up than you think and handles all types of weather like a champ. I really have no complaints whatsoever.Sep 12, 2024

I absolutely LOVE my new Passport Trailsport. It has a unique blend of offroad ability and style. Big enough for the largest passengers with plenty of headroom and very versatile seating/cargo area in the back. I would give this car 5 stars all day long! Jun 25, 2024
