ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Honda Passport?
The 2024 Honda Passport represents a meaningful step forward in MotorCaliber's safety measurement. Its index rose to 89/100 from the 2023 model year's 83/100, a 6-point gain within the same Strong band, driven by a crash-protection subscore of 61 out of 70 and a perfect 10 out of 10 for avoidance technology. The overall 5-star NHTSA rating anchors that improvement, with the 5-star side result and the No Tip dynamic outcome standing as particular strengths. The single recall, targeting the fuel filler neck tube and tank assembly, is a specific defect concern that shoppers must not overlook despite its contained scope. With 15 reported complaints and no fatalities alleged, the complaint volume is comparatively low for a vehicle at this stage of its market life. The defect record subscore of 17.5 out of 20 reflects that restrained complaint picture. Taken together, the 2024 Passport's year-specific data profile is stronger than its immediate predecessor across every major safety dimension MotorCaliber tracks.
