It’s about time Honda did something with the Passport. That is a good looking SUV..!!!!

[@jacobraymond1959]

I love that they kept the v6 👏

[@dougmanck4149]

Very nice. Looks like they got it just right. Thanks

[@von98i]

This Passport looks so nice & ok Honda has added a lot of standard features I love that… hopefully they add on a panoramic roof to the Accord to be somewhat more on the Camrys level

[@JacobGenX]

Very rugged, masculine vehicle. Love this more than the Pilot.

[@Onoitsbroko]

This is definitely my favorite Honda redesign in recent years. It looks great!

[@JosephPayton-m9g]

Honda definitely got some inspiration from the bronco sport in the design elements. Really in the C and D pillar. And Finally, thank you Honda for actually making the passport different from the pilot because that’s basically what the previous gen was. A short wheelbase pilot. This has its own unique flare. I really like the way it looks

[@kathysmith4026]

Looking forward to seeing the other trims

[@billr8564]

Thanks guys! Excellent review as usual! As you mentioned, I am hoping that these updates (or more) make their way to the Pilot! It seems that, with this new Passport, Honda is catching up a bit with their technology! So nice to see. I look forward to your test drive report in the future!

[@CarConfections]

Thank you!!

[@koober1]

I love how it looks. Reminds me of my 2013 Pilot

[@GoOp790]

Now I just want Nissan to bring back the Xterra using the Frontier drivetrain. I think Honda did well with this

[@petersuarez651]

You guys are the BEST! So many detail in this short preview. You Rock!! I think that this will be very popular as people have been waiting for a redesign for a couple of year now. With that being said, if this is popular, expect to see some big discounts on the current '24/'25 model years. So if you don't mind the antiquated Tech, the 9 speed Transmission, then you may want to opt for the '24/'25 model years which I think looks good on the outside. If you could stick this new dash, instrument cluster and Transmission in the current version, that would be my ideal Crossover. Just my 2 cents. Keep up the great reviews!!!

[@CarConfections]

Thank you!!

[@ggreg2258]

I am looking to buy one---if test drive and walkaround go well---coupled with a good deal!! Would like to see the Elite. Looking forward to your test drive!

[@MrSteele2010]

I wonder if the 2026 - 2027 Ridgeline will have a similar look

[@Focus512Media]

I'm hoping that is does. It looks very truck-like from the front.

[@MubbyMM]

We're all hoping 🙏

[@joseruiz428]

A lot nicer than a bronco I’d definitely trade my 24 civic for this

[@SahajPatel-wb1cz]

They need to add that screen in the pilot ASAP

[@mikejones762]

honda make the ridgeline look like this and i’m in

[@cancel.lgbtq.6892]

Hell yeah , if Ridgeline pricing around 38k. I might get it instead of Passport.

[@fredmoss4540]

Redesign Ridgeline prices will be comparable with Passport. The will streamline the varants just like Passport ​@@cancel.lgbtq.6892

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Fantastic video!😸

[@adamwright9741]

did I detect a shelf in the dashboard? These are the things I wish you would always bring more to attention immediately, including whether or not they are offering any under console storage. Man, if they can put this thing out in a decent hybrid, Half the world would jump on this thing!

[@fredmoss4540]

Thec4th Generation Pilot 2023-2025 has dashboard shelf. The 1 Generation Ridgeline 2006-2014 had dashboard shelf. I think 2nd Generation Pilot had it also. We have 1st Generation Ridgeline Ridgeline in family.

[@GarlandTexasSpotter2024]

I hope Honda brings that 12.3 inch screen to the 2026 model year Pilot! Too bad this passport has no HUD.

[@fredmoss4540]

I say that was a cost saving decision. The Pilot Elite and Black Edition have it. Some Acura MDX trim packages have it. The Honda bean counters were at it again. You just would have figured that Passport TrailSport Elite would have this feature. But that might have pushed it passed price point of Pilot Elite.

[@hockeynutt9434]

Not much thought integrating the info screen. Looks just slapped on.

[@DominionAnako-bb7ry]

The Honda Passport! It's a solid midsize SUV, right? It's got that rugged look and plenty of space for adventures.

[@R56Cooper]

Nice redesign! How is the lane centering with the newest Honda Sensing system? Does it keep the car centered in the lane even on freeway curves?

[@CaveCreekRealtor]

Hi Guys!! Love your reviews and appreciate that you measure the interior cargo space! Just curious... what is the loading floor height from ground level? Asking for us shorter ladies with diva dogs who need a boost to load up! Great looking SUV, BTW!!

[@FroggyplayzTyyy]

Perfect opportunity to bring back the element

[@KNRS927]

The front of this car looks like a Bronco Sport, the rear of this car is just a carbon copy of a first generation Saturn Vue. I never thought I’d be seeing Saturn Vue design elements again until this.

[@ExpertYouTubeCommentator]

so how is honda able to keep the v6 and still meet regulations, while the 4runner has to have a 4-cylinder turbo??

[@perezsykes3803]

Nice to see normal size grills making a comeback

[@paulang1054]

From Honda to the Mazda.....I would go back to Honda for this.

[@PineappleGamesTV]

Honda really needs to get away from reflector and start offering projector led headlights.

[@musa_8014]

Tuşların yerinde olmasına sevindim dokunmatik ekranları sevmedim sevmiyorum daha ciddi daha kaliteli daha faydalı doğru seçilmiş tuş takımları güzel😍💓

[@FunAtDisney]

Huh?????

[@dr3amboy3657]

It sure looks the part and that's all that matters these days as 5% of them will ever see a dirt road. The increase cargo space is great for Costco and Whole Food runs.

[@danwake4431]

outside looks very good, disappointed in the inside, but it is a mass consumer SUV, so can't ask for much. I wish the seat bottoms were longer for taller people, my Kia has long seat bottoms that are a lifesaver on long trips, but Honda and Toyota seem to prefer shorter seats. Im glad to see the upgraded screen as well.

[@AaronHULKMcNeil]

Side profile giving Land Rover Discovery vibes - nice job Honda

[@FunAtDisney]

First- While I am glad Honda has finally leveled up to the competition it looks and features, not offering a hybrid and still relying on their aging 6-cylinder that gets probably the worst MPG in this class is just pitiful. Why? And not getting into the EV game is even more pitiful when you have Rivian (with their upcoming R2) leading the way. One step forward….two steps back! But I will say Honda unveiling this now means the current Passport should have huge discounts in about 6 months!

[@ericmcleod7825]

Car makers can't win... Toyota fans are enraged that Toyota is getting rid of the normally aspirated V6 and replacing with a 4 cylinder turbo hybrid

[@FunAtDisney]

@ Yes, but honda is way behind in offering hybrids for the Pilot, Passport and Odyssey that all get horrible mileage. There is just no excuse at this point.

[@121476]

Looks good, but I don't like that they made it wider. Now there's a huge gap between the size of the CRV and Passport. Nothing inbetween

[@21Piloteer]

There already was a huge gap between the Passport and CR-V

[@121476]

@@21Piloteer Well, now it's twice as big!

[@am_nota1ex104]

It has a bit of Bronco Sport look to it but in a way that I love it

[@von98i]

Now Toyota needs to bring back the V6 for the Rav 😭😭

[@DavidDDope]

45k for a Honda passport is insane

[@mannygonzalez4178]

lol. Same with a 4Runner. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Things aren’t gettin cheaper either. So get use to it. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@cancel.lgbtq.6892]

That 45k is worth it tho. Unlike owning German overpriced junks.

[@randysalerno6274]

Any idea if the redesigned ridgeline will take its styling from this new passport?

[@kimw5533]

The fake vent on the hood looks ridiculous (imo)….just a place for dirt to collect. Why why why!

[@Stargate555]

Will it be good enough that I want to trade my 2023 Lexus GX 460?

[@Shizzle700]

This reminds me a little of the Element. Especially the back end and cargo space. I wonder if the V-6 has that stupid cylinder management or is the new motor a redesign? It checks a lot of boxes for me.

[@QueenNZingha2806]

Ion how to feel about the exterior ...is giving to polarized for me, I think I already saw this design in another brand. But glad that Honda is investing money on Passport to make him the off road of the fleet

[@kennys8661]

Is the VCM system in Honda V6’s reliable for long term ownership?

[@keepingup2952]

Anybody who thinks that real leather is an "upgrade" hasn't fully thought it through. Real leather is like GDI; it's good at first.

[@FunAtDisney]

I agree….. I would rather just have rugged cloth seats. I had a 2015 Pilot SE and I loved the cloth seats. They kept cool in the hot SoCal summers and no sticking to leather and no need for ventilated seats, or heated seats in the winter.

[@AHungryHunky]

I dont know how i feel about the plastic above the rear window. If it really is for things like fishing rods, they should have put some sort of groove or notch to hold them. Im jot leaning my rod against a smooth flat surface while I rig. Good flyrods are very light and will be blown over by a slight breeze on that smooth surface. Ask me how I know.

[@coachesalot]

20 to 21 MPG. Deal killer - no thinks. No hy-brid! 18” inch wheels - thanks for the hit on cost of ownership. 17” would have been perfectly functional and much lower price point.

[@slapshotjack9806]

All starting at the incredibly low price of 60k before taxes and markups

[@LoveLikeaHurricane]

Is this engine going to have a big recall like most of the V6 in these past few years? So Timing Belt, poor MPG, Dealer Markup, Direct Injection, VCM, and likely engine issues as with most V6 from Honda in the past few years.

[@matrixist]

Not bad, but I don't get why the automakers are afraid to ever go more rugged and utilitarian. EVERY vehicle today is basically the same, especially on the interior.

[@gustavitodhimes9848]

We got 2026 cars, and it isn't even 2025 yet

[@gc.cabreira]

Dream car🤤🤤

[@idontgotnothin]

Still waiting for any car reviewer to call out these car manufacturers for having a negative angle head rests. Sit in the seat and seriously relax. Let your head fall back and it feels like your head is constantly being pushed forward from behind. These seats keep getting more and more uncomfortable.

[@transkodak27]

It’s for safety reasons. It’s to prevent whiplash. They’re not going to sacrifice safety for complete comfort. Also, car companies have been sued thousands of times because of the design of the headrest and the driver/passenger getting whiplash.

[@LorenIpsem]

It’s a head restraint, not a headrest.

[@FunAtDisney]

Yes - they are for safety first, there are codes they must adhere to. Simple as that.

[@ammarisrar2005]

It’s not a headrest, it’s a head restraint, if you want to rest your head in a car, sit in the backseat of an S Class Merc

[@hypnoticCallsGems]

Is that a Honda Bronco Sport?

[@fredrelay1052]

How many latch points in the 2nd row? I think i only see 1 for the center seat..

[@HeortirtheWoodwarden]

8.3 inches is kind of disappointing. The Outback Wilderness has 9.5, and the new 4Runner has 9.2.

[@seanjamesmacleod241]

This should be the next ridgeline foundation.

[@ledebuhr1]

What is the overall length of the Passport? it doesn't look that much shorter than the Pilot.

[@donovan4105]

190 inches. The Pilot is 200.

[@JosephPayton-m9g]

The 12 inch screen is nice, it’s a good reference of what it would look like on the pilot. However it’s very “old Audi” like in the way it sticks up out the dash, very far foward.

[@bororobo3805]

Look at those "Toyota" lights 😂

[@raymedrano]

Ridgeline?

[@robissonwillard7266]

[@Royalty888]

Looks ❤❤❤

[@MercOne]

Not sure if it's ugly or not, but Toyota now makes better looking vehicles than Honda in general. Let that sink in.

[@fredmoss4540]

I don't think so. I don't think the Highlander or Grand Highlander look better than Pilot. I don't think Toyota smaller Cross Suv looks better than a Honda HR-V. They always talk about Honda vehicles interior being lacking dated. Look at Toyota Cross compared to HR-V.

[@coy9898]

Hopefully they improved the back up camera quality, Honda has had one of the worst I’ve seen. 360 cameras should be standard, they are more useful than other gimmicky item like paddle shifters or lane keep assist
