MSRP: $42,400Use the table of contents to jump to a sectionOverviewThe 2025 Honda Passport sits between the compact CR-V and midsize 3-row Pilot in Honda's SUV lineup, offering a 2-row layout with more space than the former and less bulk than the latter. Every model uses a 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6 that produces 280 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and standard i-VTM4 all-wheel drive. Honda offers three trims: EX-L, TrailSport, and Black Edition. The TrailSport targets buyers who want added trail capability with off-road-tuned suspension and all-terrain tires. Properly equipped, the Passport tows up to 5,000 lbs. It suits small families and outdoor-focused buyers who want a roomy, capable SUV with standard AWD and proven Honda durability.2025 Honda Passport TrailSportHondaWhat's New for 2025?The 2025 Passport carries over unchanged from the 2024 model year. Honda keeps the 3.5-liter NA V6, a ZF 9-speed automatic, and standard all-wheel drive across all trims. The EX-L, TrailSport, and Black Edition lineup continues without changes. Honda is preparing a full redesign for 2026, which introduces a new 285-hp V6, a Honda-made 10-speed automatic, and stronger off-road capability. That upcoming shift may create negotiation room on remaining 2025 inventory as dealerships prepare for the next generation.ExteriorThe Honda Passport is a midsize SUV with a squared-off, rugged design that gives it more presence than the CR-V while being smaller than the Pilot. The EX-L and Black Edition ride on standard 20-inch wheels, giving the SUV a planted stance. The TrailSport stands apart with a more aggressive setup, including 18-inch wheels, off-road-tuned suspension, LED fog lights, black roof rails, and all-terrain tires.The Black Edition leans into a stealthier look with gloss-black 20-inch wheels, a black grille, black exterior accents, and exclusive badging. LED headlights, daytime running lights, and taillights come standard across the lineup. Ground clearance measures 8.1 inches.2025 Honda PassportHondaInteriorInside, the Honda Passport focuses on space and everyday usability. The EX-L includes leather upholstery, heated front seats, an 8.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charging, tri-zone climate control, and a power liftgate. The TrailSport builds on that with navigation, orange-stitched leather, and all-weather floor mats suited for outdoor use.The Black Edition adds ventilated front seats, a 10-speaker Bose audio system, and exclusive red perforated leather with matching accent lighting. Rear passengers get 39.6 inches of legroom, and cargo capacity behind the second row reaches 41.2 cu-ft, making it practical for road trips or gear-heavy weekends.2025 Honda Passport interiorHondaPrice Range and Best Value TrimThe 2025 Honda Passport's price starts at $42,400 for the EX-L.Trim LevelPriceBase: EX-L$42,400Mid: TrailSport$45,000Top: Black Edition$48,470Best value: EX-L$42,400The EX-L stands out as the best value, offering core comfort and tech features without pushing the price too high.Key SpecsPowertrainEngineHPTorqueTransmissionDrivetrain3.5L V6280 hp262 lb-ft9-speed automatici-VTM4 AWD (standard)PerformanceMetricFigureTowing CapacityUp to 5,000 lbsGround Clearance8.1 inCargo (rear seats up / down)41.2 / 77.5 – 77.7 cu-ftSeating Capacity5Fuel Economy (MPG)CityHighwayCombined192421WarrantyThe 2025 Honda Passport includes a standard warranty package that aligns with most competitors in the segment.CoverageDurationBasic Limited3 years / 36,000 milesPowertrain5 years / 60,000 milesCorrosion Perforation5 years / unlimited milesRoadside Assistance3 years / 36,000 milesComplimentary Service1 year / 12,000 milesPros and ConsPros:Standard V6 and AWD on every model at a competitive priceGenerous rear legroom and 41.2 cubic feet of cargo spaceTrailSport offers genuine off-road upgrades over standard modelsExceptional build quality with tight panel gaps and quality materialsCons:No powertrain options except the single V6 engine8.0-inch touchscreen is small by current standardsAging design lacks Honda's latest technology featuresAll-new 2026 model makes the current generation feel datedVerdictThe Honda Passport succeeds in the areas that matter for its target audience: space, power, and build quality. The EX-L at $42,400 delivers the strongest value with leather seating, heated front seats, and Honda Sensing included. The TrailSport at $45,000 adds meaningful off-road hardware for buyers who plan to leave pavement behind. The V6 provides smooth, consistent acceleration and supports up to 5,000 lbs of towing capacity.Expect 22 mpg in real-world driving, which aligns closely with expectations for this class. The 8.0-inch touchscreen feels small compared to newer rivals, and the overall design shows its age, with a redesign just around the corner. For buyers who prioritize reliability, standard AWD, and a spacious 2-row layout over the latest tech, the Passport remains a solid, practical choice, especially with potential end-of-cycle pricing.2025 Honda PassportHondaCompetitors:Toyota Land CruiserMazda CX-70Jeep Grand CherokeeSubaru OutbackChevrolet Blazer
