ABOUT THE HONDA PASSPORT

The Honda Passport is a five-seat, two-row midsize SUV positioned between the compact CR-V and the three-row Pilot in Honda's lineup. Aimed at active adults and small families who want a capable, road-trip-ready vehicle without the bulk of a full-size hauler, the Passport competes in one of the most contested segments in the American market. Its safety record is a central part of the ownership conversation.

VERDICT

The 2024 Honda Passport earns an NHTSA Safety Index of 89 out of 100, an strong result driven by its federal crash-test stars and its recall record. It has 1 recall on record, reflected in the score.

WHO IT IS FOR
  • new and teen drivers who want standard crash-avoidance tech
  • urban drivers exposed to side-impact risk
WHAT REVIEWERS SAY

Reviewers generally regard the Passport as a well-rounded midsize SUV that strikes a practical balance between everyday usability and light off-road capability. Most praise its composed driving character and interior space for a two-row layout. Some note that it occupies an unusual niche within Honda's own SUV family, which can make the value proposition feel less clear-cut compared to segment rivals.
