Thank you Honda for keeping that V6 when other companies are phasing it out

[@FrequencyORD]

yeah that’s so true, it’s so refreshing to still see bigger engines around.

[@dre5491]

THIS.

[@antoniocognato5023]

Yes. I agree!

Can’t wait for the 2025 update. I hope they put the accord infotainment system inside, with the new pilot drive train

I saw spyshots of it which included the interior. From what I have seen it does have the 12.3 inches display!

Same reason here with the V6 engine, I just got one TrailSport last week $43k out the door with the maintenence package included

[@coffeecomputersandmore2300]

It's ironic you guys are releasing your 7 day test on your Passport and I am just about to 7 days of ownershp myself on a new 2024 Passport Trailsport. It is so sweet! Keep up the great work guys!

[@CarConfections]

Congrats on your new Passport!

[@ryanwilliams4561]

The 2025 Passport spy phots display a whole redesign. Waiting to see what Honda cooks with that.

[@islandknight6105]

Either way the new exterior is gonna be a box on wheels and you can only do so much so that. 🥹

[@paulholterhaus7084]

Volvo has done nicely with that.........A few others also.......CX50 looks nice.......Paul

[@paulholterhaus7084]

The built in screen looks sooo much better than the tacked on screen of the Pilot............Paul

[@mikespies786]

Couldn't agree more, Paul. I use an iPad Pro at home; I don't care to have one tacked onto my dashboard in my vehicle. We love the old-school feel of the. 2024 Passport and purposely wanted to move into one before the anticipated redesign in 2025, which may add more "tech" than we are comfortable with. Beyond that, we are always wary of buying a first-year redesign, preferring to let the manufacturer figure out what went wrong and adjust in year 2+. The V6 time-tested J-engine is and 9-speed transmission is bulletproof and, we wanted the confidence of having that combo as well.

[@macsterguy]

I think this is my first first ever! I’m looking forward to this review!

[@6a6y_6]

Passport is my dream suv !

[@howlingwolf125y]

For most things, Honda did a very good job on the Passport.. But Honda missed an opportunity.. The Ridgeline and Passport are very similar.. But yet the Honda Ridgeline got a better transmission and the Pilots better gauge cluster.. Not sure why Honda didn't just give both the better transmission and guage cluster to the Passport.. This would have been much better.. And to further improve things - Honda should have given all - the Ridgeline, Passport and Pilot a regular traditional shifter - instead of that crappy push button shifter that nobody likes..

[@helloworld2846]

great review !!

[@CarConfections]

Thanks!

[@peterandrewj]

Love its power and size, and that excellent rear torque vectoring differential. The new interior is an improvement, but the infotainment system is still lacking. Appreciate the review. Happy holidays!

[@CarConfections]

Thank you and happy holidays to you as well!

[@Dukiedukester]

I’m not seeing anyone buying a 2024 Passport knowing that the 2025 will be a significant redesign/upgrade, unless mid-year incentives kick in, which will probably happen and would need to be very aggressive. I’m especially wanting to see slightly better mpg, a little more hp, and the Pilot tranny. With those improvements, I’ll be very interested.

[@scottaw]

I had a ‘19 Passport, have a ‘23 Pilot now. I miss the Passport. New engine is weaker, worse MPG by a lot, new transmission has a horrible 1-2 shift and is jumpy, and the handling is like a boat whereas the Passport was quite nimble. I hope there are mid-year incentives, I’ll trade in my Pilot for a Passport again!

[@sanditext2108]

Thanks to your YT reviews I am learning so much. Was underwhelmed by the in person experience of the CRV at the dealer yesterday. The Elements was perfect for us 20 years ago when we were in our late 40's exploring the US with our dogs. Now entering our 70's and the CRV is too "manual". I couldn't pull the rear seat back up after reclining it slightly. The Pilot is too much car for just the 2 of us. Now eager to explore the Passports features so will return to the dealer. What other cars from other manufacturers are in competition with Passport's dimensions?

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! Some other options include the Toyota Venza, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento, VW Atlas Cross Sport and Chevy Blazer

[@exploringsouthshore2658]

I want a carconfections donut lol

[@darriontunstall3708]

It looks alright!

[@travisp11]

I went ahead and put a security deposit on a 2024 Passport Trailsport last week. While I am very excited to take delivery I was a bit disappointed to find that the oil pan skid plate is an extra accessory. I am planning to bolt a Lo Pro skid plate on it at some point anyway. I know that I should wait for a redesign but this powertrain and platform is solid and it offers the options I want right now.

[@juliewenger1354]

We just bought the 2024 trailsport and agree about the skid plate. We inquired but said was on backorder so not sure when will get. I also with the trailer hitch was standard on this model..does not make sense is not.

[@mikespies786]

Great review-thank you! I understand that the Black Edition is the only trim level with acoustic glass on the windshield and both the driver and passenger door windows. If this is true, and factoring in the 20" seasonal tires, vs. the 18" all-terrain tires on this model, I'd be interested in your thoughts on how this will impact the dba within the cabin compared to the trim tested in this video,

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! Typically both those items do have impacts on the dB sound level readings but the only way to know for sure is to test it out. Hopefully we will be able to soon 👍

[@mikespies786]

@@CarConfections Thank you for the note back- I've subscribed to the channel so will keep an eye out for a Black Edition review down the road.

[@elizabethshimada7809]

I love my 22 exl with the great cargo space, comfortable seats and great hp. I dislike the arm rests and wish I could get the new console. Oh well it’s a great vehicle

[@0riginal_panda_child249]

For perspective, the cargo floor takes up the same amount of space as an 85" TV (~79" x 48")

[@tompasch2447]

We have a 22 Elite and my wife’s favorite part of the car is the flat center counsel area.

[@ivanaernmore]

I'm considering either a 24 or 23 Passport as my next vehicle (still some 23's around) and, like your wife, I prefer the idea of the flat center console. I'm a woman who carries a purse with me at all times if driving, and comparing the two, flat center console in the 23 is what I also prefer. It looks deep enough to hold a good size purse or is flat enough to rest a purse on easily. I actually prefer the minivan style drop down armrests being only 5'3" so that I can set them to fit my shorter arms and torso. I wish car mfg would provide more options for convenient purse storage for women other than the passenger seat. That is the one thing I still like with my 2011 Sienna, with the shifter on the dash, the center console is similarly wide and flat plus there is floor space in front of it for a purse. Purse space might be why she prefers as well?

[@user-ow1wk3wc7l]

Very interested to see if the 25' has the V6 engine

[@Jptdo3]

May be not, that's why I got one last week.

[@jasonm4695]

The Trailsport tires are not true "All Terrain." They have some additional side rubber to look "tractiony" but it's only cosmetic. The tread itself is just all-season.

[@ablue5419]

Is my favorite car so far.

[@muhammedbappa7560]

I just love honda I don't know why

[@garynapoli3042]

It’s not very often you guys miss something you’re pretty thorough and accurate. However, after years of watching, I found a mistake the black edition does have rear climate control because I just traded in my 23 sport pilot for the old school passport, black edition, Mr. VTEC motor it is a little slower under 3500 RPMs, not quite as refined or rigid. There’s nothing like the pass power on the VTEC motor I went backwards in the sense got fully loaded.

[@CarConfections]

Thanks for the information and congrats on your new Passport!

Those tires especially around 20:00 seem to emit a high pitch howl. Was that noticeable in-person? The General Grabber ATX on my Ranger Tremor are quite loud and do the same thing from 35 mph up to about 75 mph. Very annoying….

[@joeimbesi5361]

2025 model I’ve read.

[@Cletus_the_Elder]

I drove the same CR-V for over 10 years and wanted to stay in a Honda product. I remember getting into a Passport and the interior seemed anachronistic. It seemed intentionally past-gen, which is great if they're sticking with what works and not making changes to sell newer models. That odd new-wine-in-old-wineskin was no more evident in the push-start button and the foot-pedal parking break. That was a little too steampunk for me.

[@Twisty805]

You smile but don’t put it on the meter

[@ogabner]

I own a Honda passport with the HPD package 2023 EXL and I sincerely can said, it is a piece of junk, the suspension is so stiff every time I get out of the vehicle I have a headache, I personally don’t recommend this vehicle to any anyone get a CRV or get a pilot but not a passport.

[@underwaterman7293]

Spend a little extra and buy a Toyota Land Cruiser. This is an off road joke. Honda should be ashamed of themselves for selling this stripped down SUV for such an inflated price.

[@Gary65437]

Very impressive. It looks like you can actually fit a sheet of plywood in there. But I'm not impressed with the giant exhaust tips. I guess Honda cares nothing about pissing off the save the planet , clean air folks. It looks like it should be able to "roll some coal" with those pipes.
