2022 Honda Passport TrailSport review // Pass on Passport?

[@kizo172]

For me this is the perfect size SUV. I wish more manufacturers offer 2 row versions of their 3 rows which offer wider bodies compared to compact SUVs like CRV.

[@potentatewags]

Mazda is doing that with their cx-70 off their cx-90 coming in the next two years. Can't wait to see what that'll have to offer.

[@bdawg8907]

Most of the 3 rows end up with a cramped, near unusable 3rd row anyway

[@5DollarHoller]

@@bdawg8907 I was in the back of a Highlander, we ordered an Uber XL and that was technically a third row. I'm only 5'9 and my feet weren't anywhere close to the ground - my knees were up to my shoulders almost in the fetal position, it was so silly. Don't add a third row if people can't put their feet on the ground, come on.

[@5DollarHoller]

Totally thats why i like the Santa Fe more than the Sorento. Give the second row passengers, and cargo, a ton more space, get rid of the cramped third row.

[@bdawg8907]

@@5DollarHoller I had a 2015 Ford Explorer. My kids sat in the 3rd row once just for fun. I’m 6’ 1”, and getting in and out of the 3rd row was doable for me and the seating position would be ok for an odd trip here and there but nothing more than maybe a 20 minute drive. For us we needed the cargo space more than the 3rd row so the 3rd row was always down. I wished they offered that same SUV with simply a large cargo area with the 3rd row removed from the factory 😕. I also had a 2011 Sorento that we traded in for the Explorer since my boys were growing and even in the 2nd row their knees were at an uncomfortable angle, the 2nd row seats were too low and the Sorento didn’t have enough head room for us. Then I saw on the Sorento redesign they added a 3rd…that must be god awful. 😕. These midsize SUVs just don’t have the space for a comfortable 3rd row.

[@Bryanx1964]

I own a 2019 Passport and I'm buying it at the end of my lease. Love the car. Really roomy, great ride and the performance has been fine. Also, I love the inside. The materials used are nice and don't feel cheap at all. All this talk about it being dated, I'm not sure what yout talking about! Also the Honda reliability ratings are still great.

[@terence4427]

@Bryanx1964. I totally agree with you. I traded in my Camry with the bells and whistles for the Passport. I personally prefer interior/tech over some of the more "updated" vehicles.

[@_Charrizard_]

Traded my 22' Tacoma SR for the EX-L last week. Incredible the amount of features you get in a base model. Not to mention it's so much more comfortable to drive than the base Tacoma.

[@HotRedMonkey]

I've owned 4 Hondas, just traded my 2019 accord couple weeks ago for the new Passport and still waiting for it. I have two toddlers and these simple and roomy interior is more than perfect for my family with kids. Honestly the only tech I've ever used in my cars are the bluetooth and Android auto to listen to music and for GPS. Never really bothered about all other infotainment features. I sat on one of the sold Passports at the dealership and the first and second row space was just crazy. The simple no clutter interior and cockpit works very well for me. Also the Canadian TrailSport comes with climate controls and heated seat controls in the back too unlike the US. Also the orange accent lighting inside 😄 which is kinda cool. Perfect suv for a family of four or five.

[@regwilson7652]

Great review. I love that this Honda does not have 3 rows of seats like my Kia Sorento.

[@shopwithaaron]

You guys have so much fun!! THX! From a KIA sedan family, the shifters in our Optima and stinger act as the perfect hand rest while cruising. Makes a marked difference in comfort! Stay well!

[@terence4427]

I had a Hyundai Sante Fe and while everyone talks about how much "leg room" it has it doesn't have much headroom for tall people. I now own a Passport Trailsport and love it. It's much faster and practical than my SF.

[@grcigar9911]

For a refresh, would have liked to see more inspiration on the interior from the 2022 civic and 2023 hrv. If the CRV grows in size for 2023 and showcases modern tech and safety, where does the passport fit into Honda’s lineup?

[@jazzjokesjalopies]

Having owned 4 Hondas, I’ve found that they’re as reliable as advertised… but the routine maintenance is costlier than American brands. Brakes in particular. Great cars though. And great reviews as always. Thanks for including US spec’s.

[@billisdewillis5]

Buy good brake sets…EBC on this platform of Honda are excellent…better than OEM.

[@anthonypjay]

Traded in our 16 Crv for a 2021 Ex-l last week. Wonderful car to drive and tremendous amount of space. Not a flashy interior, but I think it is handsome and intuitive to use. I don't mind the button shifter at all. Very competent power and relatively efficient on the highway. Great car.

[@elizabethshimada7809]

I have a exl 22 and I’m loving it! ❤ coming from a sedan and a Tuscon with less power it’s great for me. Thanks for the videos

[@chadreimer1617]

I found it interesting that Zack kept mentioning that the off road improvements were merely cosmetic. While that is true, it is important to note that the passport has an excellent AWD system for both on road and light off road. The AWD system is one of the best attributes of the passport and likely much more capable than even many off road focused systems of the competition except the most extreme ones. I believe the new rugged looks match the capability of the vehicle. In the interest of full disclosure, I own a 2020 passport. I am happy to discuss the faults of the passport but off road capability is not one of them. If you need more off road capability, buy a wrangler rubicon. If you don’t need a rubicon, you’ll be happy with the capability of the passport. Thank you to Zack and Andrea for creating such great Canadian car content. Cheers!

[@robwinemiller9712]

would be interested to hear your faults with the passport in general. possibly looking to go from my buick enclave to a passport. everything about it fits my needs. one thing is, does the econ button really help with MPG's? but please share faults very interested, thanks

[@chadreimer1617]

@@robwinemiller9712 Good question. I love my passport more and more the longer I own it, but it is by no means perfect. I drive a 2020 EX-L. I live in Canada and we get really cold winters with lots of snow. It heats really well. Fuel economy would certainly be a down side. I use the eco button and it likely helps a little but I have not measured it so I can’t say for sure. Either way, real world world fuel economy is not good. The fuel tank is also relatively small so the range is fine but not great. I usually fill up around 500KM in town or 600KM on the highway. A Highlander Hybrid may be a better choice if economy is important. While I love the function of the interior, it certainly isn’t luxurious. I can’t think of much else I’m not happy with from a daily drive perspective. I would be happy to answer any questions you come up with.

[@chadreimer1617]

@@robwinemiller9712 I’ve had mine for 3 years. I haven’t had any issues. There have been a few recalls. Nothing I was concerned about. It feels reliable but it is only 3 years old so it should be. I guess the next 3 years will be important. I have a couple of friends that have older pilots with the same drivetrain. They haven’t had any significant issues. Just routine maintenance. The maintenance can be expensive because of the fluid changes for the AWD system.

[@stephanieh2863]

I have a friend that bought one of these. I thought it looked a little outdated on the inside as well. The push buttons are new of course but the aesthetics just seemed outdated.

[@MetalsForBrunch]

you'll be surprised how it does on a 50 degrees hill. It does pretty good for a crossover compared to other crossovers on the market. These guys didn't even take the passport to the hills for test and spent more time mocking the design of the car. What they don't know is that the passport is assembled in Alabama USA, this car beats the Ford bronco with the busted turbos.

[@swinglow33]

I like this because it’s not trying to wow you with the body style and it still has that great V6 and a proper automatic. Side note, I wished Honda would reintroduce the Element and not in EV form.

[@terence4427]

I just bought the Passport Trailsport and I love it. One of the best vehicles that I have ever owned. I love the simplicity and I've owned some really fancy cars.

[@daklight2792]

Yes! The Element is needed in the lineup! An amazing vehicle that was like nothing else.

[@ryanpatterson9526]

I actually like its simplicity. It will be a sturdy long-term applicance. I just wish it was a little better looking.

[@kellingtonlink956]

There is nothing about this vehicle that I love. But in Honda’s defence, there is nothing about this vehicle that I hate. I literally, do not even notice these on the road. It doesn’t really leave any sort of impression. Maybe that is what Honda was going for. It perhaps, is the perfect… ‘incognito’ vehicle. Which is quite odd, because I do notice every Honda,….‘love it or hate it’ Ridgeline. Thanks for the video.

[@sk-un5jq]

Honda and Toyota will never be as blingy or have all-new designs every 2 yrs like Hyundai, but if long-term reliablity and resale value is important to you - go for the boring instead of the bling.

How do you know what the vehicle can do off road if you haven’t taken it off the pavement?

[@tomdrummy4984]

I like the v6 in this 👍

[@bandkadams8897]

Thanks!

[@terence4427]

If you're shopping this car keep in mind, there really isn't a big difference in price in America between the EX-L and Trailsport (TS) because most EX-Ls are delivered with AWD and roof rails. This puts the price of the EX-L at or slightly below the TS. If you care about navigation, fog lights, and floor mats the TS might be the better deal. Plus, the 18in wheels feel more comfortable on the road IMO in comparison to the 20in wheels on the EX-L and Elite versions of this vehicle.

[@jimc4839]

Goid stuff. Thanks.

[@jimc4839]

Good

[@LeadfootLou]

Also if you prefer gloss black to chrome on the front of your vehicle, you may want to choose the Trailsport. Then again if you prefer chrome then choose the EX-L. The rims on the TS look much better IMHO.

[@AndrewJamison79]

I disagree about the panoramic sunroof those are very expensive to repair if they break and its one more thing to go wrong

[@ryanb8736]

Exactly! Some new 23 Pilot roofs are leaking. Drains are insufficient. Huge mistake Honda made.

[@mikepetrilli4686]

I could care less about a 3rd row seat....most of them are crap anyway! I love the cargo room that this thing has. Plus it comes with a reliable V6 and no turbo chargers. That my friends is called reliability! I'll take boring any day! For the person who bought the Hyundai...good luck you're going to need it😂😂

[@akui88]

i got a 2019 passport sport brand new for 29K$ USD, no power seats, no leather, no moonroof. i enjoy the v6, keyless go, no chrome accents. it's been 3 years over 20K miles and it is a great vehicle for me.

[@edcarpenter4492]

The "Auto Idle Stop" system on our 2019 is very annoying. When it engages, you'd think the engine fell out, the dealer says this is normal... only 12,000 miles. Now we turn it off but wish it didn't have this as standard equipment. I'd like to drive a newer model to see if there's any improvement.

[@charlessigmonjr.6552]

Was the road and wind noise higher than the competition since the TrailSport doesn’t have acoustic side windows like in the Elite?

The more I look at it, the better it looks. I like the bigger exhaust outlets. Just dump the ZF and I’m sold. Be wild if they pumped up the six to 300 horse add a few extra pounds of torque to better separate it from the Pilot. Possibly drop in the A spec Acura motor. Talk about a hot rod.

I have a family of three. This is the perfect size for me. Honda would need to update this with a some more amenities, like a 8 way power passenger seat. That 4 way power seat is so circa 2000. Also some real “TrailSport” hardware is necessary for a Trailsport trim.

I really agree with your comment about Honda’s bad decision about NOT getting height adjustment on the passenger’s seat! I have a 2014 Pilot Touring, and it’s cursed w/the the same problem of no height adjustment for passenger. We’d like to get a new Odyssey, but I don’t know if we’ll get one if they don’t address that height adjustment issue. My other heartburn is how they require you to buy the crazy expensive “Elite” model to get ventilated leather seats. I couldn’t care less about having a rear entertainment system, but I’d pay some reasonable amount to get a single item upgrade for ventilated seats.

[@tomtalker2000]

I own a 2015 Lincoln MKC 2.0 AWD and while i LUV my vehicle and it's been great in the snow. I want something a bit more "rugged looking" for my next vehicle. I think this Trailsport will fit the bill VERY nicely. However, Honda needs to do some changes. The first being downgrading the 20in tires on the EX-L and Elite trims to the Trailsport's 18in tires. I mean lets face facts folks you simply CANNOT off road in 20in wheels. And these Passports are ALL THE SAME no matter the trim. As they ALL share the exact same I-VTM4 AWD systems. Now i hear Honda is going to make further changes to make the Trailsport truly "off road worthy". Let's hope they follow through on that. The next thing i would do is offer the grey leather trim in the Trailsport. I think with the orange contrast stitching & badging it would look gorgeous with the sonic gray pearl exterior color. Having only one color and that being black to choose from is rather dull and boring. And you'd be surprised how the grey leather would spruce up that Trailsport interior VERY quickly. It's one of the main reasons why i am waiting to purchase one. Because currently you can only get the grey leather trim on the EX-L and Elite trims. In either a dark blue, white, or silver exterior color. C'mon Honda it isn't that difficult to add the grey leather to the Trailsport trim. Also, please body color paint the exterior mirrors on the Trailsport. The black just sucks...!!! And lastly give us the option of two different colored roof rail colors. The current black and also a silver. Everyone may not agree with me on these changes. But i think the majority of folks would agree the black interior on the Trailsport needs the gray color option. And the 20in wheel size on the EX-L & Elite trims needs to go. If nothing else but these two changes get done for future models. I'll be a VERY happy camper.

[@dcholcomb1239]

Just purchased a 2023. Love it, except .... has anyone else had an issue with the wireless charger for your iPhone? Dealer said (after the purchase) that it was a known issue and wasn't sure Honda could do anything about it? Surely, I'm not the only Honda / Apple consumer, or is this a rare combination.

The TrailSport trim is currently just a "cosmetic" trim as you mentioned, but it doesn't mean the Passport can't hold its own offroad against similar vehicles. You guys probably shouldn't comment on off roading because that's obviously not your forte. The Passport is definitely dated and lacks a lot of the bells and whistle that their competitor's have but it has one of the best "consumer" V6s paired with a tried and true transmissions. The Passport is for people who want a solid and reliable mid-SUV with a V6 and traditional transmission (no CVT garbage).

The other point that you guys made - is what's wrong with consumers today. Honda and Toyota don't really "need" to update their cars with the latest bells and whistles to draw in customers. The value and reliability of these brands more than speak for itself. Hyundai, Kia, and etc...it wasn't that long ago that they were basically manufacturing "disposable" cars. To many, their reliability is still VERY suspect...they're loaded with tech bells and whistles to draw you in and fool people into believing that these cars are actually worth $40K, $50K, $60K - which is just laughable imo. I do agree that the Passport needs an interior facelift - but Honda knows it doesn't need to do it and people will still buy these cars.

If you think people who are considering the Passport care about EVs or plug-in hybrids...then you don't understand the demographic/segment Honda is trying to capture with the Passport. I know given my comments - you may think I'm a Honda fanboy...but FYI I don't currently drive a Honda!

That push button shifter is dangerous. You could easily press the wrong button.

[@Blank00]

Hyundai Santa Fe and Palisade also have the same type of shifter. Also, the rotary knob found in Fords is worse.

[@truth959]

@@Blank00 Not really, at least with a rotary shifter, you can't go from Drive to Reverse in one step.

[@Blank00]

@@truth959 Actually, you can, depending on the knob design. If you put extra torque on the knob, you can go from drive to reverse.

[@truth959]

@@Blank00 Uh No. With a Rotary, you go from D thru N and P and then Reverse. With a Push button you just press R in one easy step. Really bad design. Driving is not a video game.

[@Blank00]

@@truth959 well keep in mind that the widely praised Hyundai Santa Fe has the same push buttons as the Honda if you think the buttons are bad.

I would prefer the outdated but ergonomical Honda Passport interior over the new but less ergonomical interior found on the new Outback.

Honda should bring this to Europe with the new V6 3.0-Turbo engine and lower it 1"~1.5" 😁

I would love to see Honda update their infotainment to something like Hyundai is doing, I just got a 2022 Civic Touring, no usb C, charging station doesn’t work with IPhone 13, small screen for the price, I had to get touring to even get 9inch.

[@LeadfootLou]

Couldn’t agree less. I like that the infotainment screen on the passport doesn’t look like an IPad was glued to the dashboard
