It’s a really great vehicle. Simple and roomy. I don’t need a third row and the extra weight. V6 and no CVT is a huge bonus.
Only zonks are the shitty speakers and super outdated interior/infotainment.
@@pdeezzelit has Apple car play so I guess the only problem is the speaker
@@joaquinjr2570 wired* car play and the same infotainment set up since 2019.
I always chuckle when Zack highlights the shifter and say, "What are we going to put it in," and Andrea responds, "We are going to put it in S for Subscribe." And they both laugh at their silliness like high school sweethearts.
The “Ding” is the best part
@@realdeal8607Always fun!
Thank you, that's very kind of you to say.We always have some good laughs
@@andreaspencer9813 Thank you and Zack! It has become your special tagline. Just be the fantastic person you are.
@@hereigoagain5050 It has and thank you very much!
I bought a 2023 Passport late last year and it was a great step down from my Sienna. I DID NOT want 3 rows or drop down to something as small as a CRV and this was a great fit. It’s not fancy, but I feel when you compare this to the Korean cousins as you call them, those have lots of bells and whistles, but everyone I know who has one hasn’t had them last long, usually about 100k. Honda’s are generally bulletproof, so while not super flashy, they last forever. I think that is what you pay for. My Sienna had 172,000 miles when I passed it to a family member and it is still going strong. I’ll take substance over style any day…..and physical buttons!
CRV is not small at all. It's huge. Do you really need all that space?
which one are the cousins, comparable from Korea, etc with this cargo area Passport has? im interested, i need the cargo area for special needs family member items
100k miles divided by average of 12k miles a year is 8 years. I personally feel like any car that goes to 100k miles reliably is a win. The Korean cousins also have a 100k / 10 yr warranty. I personally can’t imagine keeping the same vehicle for up to 8-10 years yet alone longer honestly. I’m good with about 5 or 6 years and move on as to stay in the sweet spot of routine maintenance and not have to deal with the hassle of when the sudden and more impactful vehicle repairs start to become a factor.
Lately I’ve switched vehicles about once every 3 years. First I wanted to go to a fuel efficient hybrid, then I jumped on an electric, then had a baby and needed a larger vehicle, then the bank made me get rid of a car payment to buy a home and a second kid on the way requiring an even larger vehicle on the other side of home purchase. My wife drives only BMWs and we have learned not to keep them past 75k miles. That’s when they start getting pricy to repair. By
My point is that the Korean cousins seem to be doing just fine on an acceptable level of reliability as of late bolstered by the best and longest warranty out there. There’s plenty of people out there not concerned with extreme long term reliability of a vehicle.
I find it very entertaining every time Andrea floors the test models. The look on Zack’s face and holds on for dear life is so funny. All in fun 😂
Love your videos, keep it up 👍
🥂♥️♥️
As a Honda brand loyalist, im really liking this car
Very happy with our 2021 Passport. Big, powerful, comfortable, and reliable.
Was thinking of 2025 Subaru Forester... but after seeing your review today... this Honda may fit the bill!
Great review!
same here. but there is a possibility foresters will be hybrid so that would be great.
The Honda is about $10k more expensive
Happy Saturday Guys !!, I think you look nice in the Passport very comfy, like the interior not many hard plastic, the back sit well thanks to Zack every time thumb up is ok for me too. I like it, Thank You Guys, love your presentations your the best as a couple, have a wonderful day.
Great review and added info! Thanks!
Great review
Perfect road trip car! The CRV has ample space for 4 ppl, but when you have a 5th person in the rear middle seat, the Passport's width is super useful.
Curious to see when this will be refreshed/replaced based on the new Pilot (exterior, interior, infotainment including wireless AA/AC).
@6:20 good to see a fellow Red and Green color blind 😊 I thought i was the only one ✅
Years ago, a friend took me off-roading with a 1rst/2nd(?) generation Honda Passport (based on the Isuzu Rodeo). It was actually pretty impressive (off-road), despite it’s cheap plasticy and thin-metal feel. What a difference this new Passport is! But then again… this latest price reflects that. Thanks for the video.
Acura used to have that V6 in the supposedly premium RDX. Wish they still had it along with the spare tire.
Good job Zack explaining Product Planner decisions that sometimes results in lost of frustrations for potential customers and can even ruin all the good engineering work done...
Been waiting for this one both Zack looked a little scared 😅🎉
Tough to watch knowing the new Passport is coming out shortly and will look way better than this present version.
When?
Beginning of next year.
Yeah, but rest assured the new one will come with a minimum $6,000/US price bump.
But will also start at 62 k CAD
May not come with a v6.
I have a 2020, only update I see is the centre arm rest (which is a good thing) but not enough to keep me in one when lease is up. Guess I’m headed back to VW for an Atlas
Yes I have a 2014 Honda crv and looking to replace it. I don’t want or need a 3 row but I love a roomier/larger car for safety and larger cargo area. Looking at this and the VW cross sport
Moving from a minivan, I no longer need a third row. CRV has the CVT which I would not get. The Passport is perfect for myself
Make the tailgate a swinging door like the ridgeline, and a hybrid 30 MPG+
I just picked up a black 2024 Passport Trailsport, it's exactly what a wanted, 2 row, V6 9spd lots of room, I was sadly surprised to see NO brake hold..and no power folding mirrors but other than that I love it, watching you from north of Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
There is a button right next to the mirror adjustment on the left that retracts the mirrors. On the US model at least.
@@KenStarkey no button there to push for the power folding mirrors... I wish, Canadian model has rear heated seats and the rear climate controls that you see on the Black Edition, I absolutely love it, I will be putting together a video on my 2024 Passport Canadian model soon 👍
I like the exterior of Passport but interior is ok and not enough features to make this vehicle a hot buy. Great show Andrea! ☕️☕️
Oh come on! There is a 360 deg camera on a Nissan Versa Note SL. The product planners hypothesis makes no sense!
It's a great truck. I have a 2023, and with that, I don't need the new 4Runner. The second row is very roomy, and it has great cargo space. It's a perfect family (5 persons) hauler. 🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Loving this passport but maybe hybrid would be futuristic safe?
Maybe next gen for the missing features you covered?
360 camera should be standard on a vehicle this size. That’s a dealbreaker for my wife.
if it’s that critical, she should probably be driving a Civic. 😂
Maybe learn to drive well...
People used to not have backup cameras at all and we all lived fine. Make your wife learn how to park and drive
When will the all new passport come out next year?
We can count on you for excellent reviews! I think there's a significant mid-size SUV buyer base that doesn't even use their 2nd row more than a couple of times a year - let alone a 3rd row. Why spend for a 3-row when it will never ever be in the up position during the life of the car?
just one question Andrea: is your name referring to Janet´s bestseller? ( Her first 2 pages make me think so...
Excellent review, as always 😊 IMO I believe that Honda is still being greedy, as having a surround-view camera isn’t that expensive, given entry level SUVs have them these days. I currently have a newer pathfinder, which has all of the missing items that were mentioned in the review, is the same price as a passport, and better fuel economy, 3rd low down 95% of the time except when we need it. The passport doesn’t really put up a strong fight with its current price and offerings … 3 row alternative for similar price is the way to go.
While having good bones, Honda is neglecting many other niceties. My list of gripes are: It needs the new Android Automotive system, better front seat adjustments and massaging option, console mounted stalk-shifter, elimination of all of that gaudy, shiny, black plastic, 360° degree camera system, a more masculine-looking exterior, larger and more modern infotainment system, improve the lane assist (from what I’d last heard, it’s not that great), and I’m sure I’ll think of some other minor stuff.
Honda is working hard to keep me from buying the Passport. Also, when they create these upscale editions, they should actually improve something substantial. Let’s see what next year brings. But I have a feeling that at least SOME disappointment lurks around the corner.
That is why Acura exists. It is called a segment. “Entry level segment”. “Luxury segment”. If Honda had messaging seats it could raise the price for middle class families to resort to only driving used cars. If you want the luxury then look at something other than a Honda lol
I know about Acura, I once owned one.
Interestingly, Hyundai and Kia seem to be able to upscale their offerings, so I’d disagree with your perspective on that. Then, if you want to go with a luxury model, you take it up a notch to Genesis. Even Toyota is more advanced these days, and they’re very slow at adopting the extras.
I’d like to see at least some options available. That way those who wish to pay a bit more, can.
The 2024 Honda Passport is missing many upgrades for its price point, I hope the 2025 would be a lot better.
You realize once the remodel comes out, if Honda doesn’t kill it, the cost will jump a lot.
Wait and see
When I picked up my 23 Pilot TrailSport in April last year I was expecting it to have a 360 camera, but I was told it wasn’t included in Canada. However, I don’t think the Pilot TrailSport in the US gets heated rear seats, which the Canadian model has. Different priorities for different markets I guess.
The passport slots in at the size of the Grand Cherokee which is the perfect size for me and my 2 kid family. I don’t want something as small as a crv, and don’t need a 3rd row like the pilot.
I like how spacious the Passport is, but it's starting to feel very dated now
Zack - the VCM has been plagued by many reliability, longevity and oil consumption issues for years. In Odyssey’s and Pilots. It’s so bad there are several third party products available to deactivate it. I know you never say bad things about products and manufacturers, which is a shortcoming of your reviews. But the VCM is definitely there to achieve higher EPA mileage numbers at the expense of long term ownership satisfaction and particularly engine longevity and performance.
It seems tough for this vs the new Santa Fe.
Love the review.😁 I wish this top of the line passport have a pano roof. 😁😁
does this have torque vectoring awd?
Lots of space, nice V6, Honda reliability. Looks like a solid choice in the class. Wireless phone sync and a bit more updated tech (larger screen, 360 camera, etc) would be a nice add, and I still much prefer a regular shifter, but overall a nice vehicle.
I want those extra features but don’t want to pay fit premium fuel on an Acura!
Wow the interior infotainment seems very dated for the price, it seems Honda gets complacent every few years until competition pushes them forward. Love your videos!
Nice review. Good vehicle but Honda is pricing itself out of my market anyway! I have owned Hondas for a very long time now, but my next vehicle I will be looking elsewhere.
That price. Honda Canada’s drunk.
I'm curious why Zack always wears earbuds in every single shot measuring rear leg room?
I am just starting to look for a new car (time to replace my 2011 ELEMENT). I thought this was a great option. But do I wait for the 2025?
If you dont need a 3rd row... in the PIlot if you hide the 3rd row the cargo area is smaller than the Passport cargo area, correct? so if you dont need a 3rd row... why would you buy the pilot? any plus aside of that?
I miss the nightlife segment. Because y’all don’t do it anymore, I actually have to drive out to the dealership to see if it has cool lights at night.
Are you goung to do a Nautilus review?
Very nice vehicle but wait a few months for the new pilot platform and transmission
Which trim in Canada has rear heated seats?
Wow
Honda should have hybridized this platform long time ago. Honda engineers think only their engine will carry them to 25th century.
Anyways, good review guys.
This is the Honda that I would buy, but I would never buy it if they put a four-cylinder turbo
I had one of these and couldn’t stand it more than six months before I traded it in.
Well there is always one in a thousands like you, hence why we have multiple car brands and models, so there is something for everyone.
It's nice but I'm still thinking my decision on 2025 Toyota 4Runner TRDPro hybrid
Still wondering why has Honda NOT moved the Passport, Ridgeline and Odyssey to the updated Light Truck Platform that the new MDX and Pilot rides.
Next gen
With the numerous serious recalls with Honda/Acura for last generation models, I’m more serious to now consider other manufacturers as my next vehicle.
Most reviews of owners state fuel management delivers almost no increase in mileage while GM and Ram are abysmal failures with well documented engine failures
Its time for redesign so i can purchase. Honda dont mess it up
Ding dong, ding ding the 10 speed transmission is coming. The 10 speed transmission is coming.
This is one vehicle I am highly interested in but, I will wait for the 2025 version... there is supposed to be a completely new update... it probably will have a newer and bigger screen with wireless Android auto and Apple carplay and more off-road capabilities for the Passport TrailSport model, which I am interested in.
My thoughts exactly - surprised Zach & Andrea didn't mention this. The new one should be a bit more stylish, same features as the Pilot, and possibly the new 10-speed transmission as well. I'd only buy one of these if Honda offered steep discounts (and I doubt they will).
That Jesus handle is getting a workout lately Zack , slow down Andrea 😄
It's out of door 50k so I would buy 2-3 yrs old German brands Audi sq5 , bmw m40i , or q5 , even BMW x5 m40i 2021 25k millage right ? Enjoy the drive.
Rectangle lights please. I'd choose the Lexus as well.
I love the V6 my 2022 highlander has the V6 I am so sad they have gone away with it because the V6 is buttery smooth the 4 cylinder is growly the 4 cylinder is great but I prefer the V6 as personal preference.
It’s weird that the current CRV is still considered a compact suv.
D O N G L E
I suppose once someone has a vehicle with weirleds CarPlay/ android auto you really wouldn’t want to go back. And I guess it’s also just kind of the principle of it on having it in 2024 for the high price
This SUV is a holdover from the previous gen Pilot with the SOHC V6 and 9-speed transmission. My guess is they sell it for another year or two and then drop it from the lineup. Or if its future is tied to that of the Ridgeline, maybe they both shrink to CR-V size and get the Bronco Sport treatment, styling-wise. Honda desperately needs to get more reasonably-priced product into the lineup.
Looks way better than ANY Nissan. Probably built better than most Toyotas.
I would take the Passport because of no third roll. Gives you more cargo room.
This is boring but super reliable. My Mom is 70 and this is a great truck for her. She has a 22 Elite, the tech is easy for her to use and she lives at the lake and the AWD works great.
What does your retired mother need such a giant vehicle for? Going to the mall and getting coffee at drive thrus?
Like me, the Pilot has gotten a bit on the beefy side. I don't need a third row and like the easier maneuverability of a smaller vehicle. Lord knows the 3.5L V-6 is a well-proven powerplant by now. I also like the lower placement of the touch screen.
Honda Passport 2025 will be redesigned but will retain the V6. Not switching to hybrid yet.
So, is the miles per gallon US or Imperial (Canada)?
Canada is metric, but US gallon
@@Motormouth... As an older Canadian L/100 doesn’t mean much to me. I would prefer to know how many miles I can go on a gallon. An imperial one as a Canadian. So I wanted to be sure which one you were referring too. Thanks
@@Motormouth... By the way. Do you calculate the actual L/100 or do you take the cars word for it?
@@parkland4530 We post the official government numbers.
I don’t even see these on the road
it's funny that the spreadsheet warriors are being picked on here but it's true. I come across many who live in spreadsheets all day everyday and I can say most are completely oblivious to practicality and common sense. They live and die by the spreadsheet cuz that's all they know. Unfortunately, the spreadsheets and data are often where the decisions come from and it doesn't work as planned.
Spare tire!!!!
Dang. This is a lot of missing features but i want the engine. I hate the hybrid/turbo crap.
Likes: nice styling; no CVT
Dislikes: push button transmission: timing belt; no 360 degree camera; no hybrid
How is the seat in your pics of this brand new car already looking so deflated/frumpy/used on the seat/butt part?! No thanks!
1/2 inch less leg room than Jeep? I don't mind, at least it's all Honda!
(Reuters) -Tesla will lay off more than 10% of its workforce, tech publication Electrek reported on Monday, citing an internal memo.
Tesla told managers to identify critical team members, and paused some stock rewards while canceling some employees’ annual reviews, according to the report, which added that the firm also reduced production at Gigafactory Shanghai.
The world's largest auto-maker by market value had 140,473 employees globally as of December 2023, according to its latest annual report. The reported cuts will affect about 15,000 workers.
Or wait til this fall when the next generation Passport is released.
Wireless CarPlay is way overrated…wired works so much better…maybe when wireless charging improves it’ll be a good option…even on cars I’ve owned with wireless carplay, I still plug it in to charge since wireless chargers stink unless you go aftermarket…
Unfortunately, it has a timing belt or this would be the ultimate option.
Yup, and very few reviewers ever mention things like that. If the car lasts somewhere in the 200,000 mile area, one will need to spend an extra couple grand or so just for that (assuming 2 belt changes). It’s the same with the Pilot, I believe.
@@cablebrain9691 All Honda V6’s. It’s fine until it isn’t. The unfortunate combination here is this is an interference engine with a timing belt. I honestly never understood why Honda does this
$2200 US for the timing belt service which includes timing belt, tensioner, water pump, spark plugs, gaskets and labor!
@@leebuck180 Yes. And honestly I could look beyond the cost. The problem for me is the risk of an interference engine combined with a timing belt. If the belt ever lets go you're likely looking at full engine replacement.
This still has the old engine (solid lifters) and the not 10 speed transmission. I wouldn't buy this new. Rumors are this may get cancelled. I wonder if the rebooted Element will replace this.
Even where Honda is very popular the Passport does not sell well at all. I wouldn't get one either until the real refresh becomes available. Also despite not wanting 3row seats the Pilot is a no brainer over the Passport.
Honda always prioritizes production of the pilot over the passport because it’s outsells it 3 to 1. And in some cases you can find pilots cheaper than passports because pilot base trim offers cloth seats and FWD where the passport only has AWD and only leather seats.
Why is it a no brainer? Paying $5k more for a heavier, slower, less fuel efficient vehicle is a no brainer when you don't need the third row?
@@janoycresnova9156 Because you will get a lot of it back on resale and you get to enjoy a modern vehicle meeting expectations for years to come
I can clearly see that vehicles keep getting bigger and it's a marketing scheme to get ppl to spend more for the features that they want which forces buyers into bigger vehicles that they may not want. Looking at Hondas lineup I don't see a true compact or sub compact vehicle that hits any kind of home run. The closest they have is the HRV which is cheap and sluggish. The upsell here is upsizing to a CRV or going with Acura. It sound like a good plot but I think Honda is losing alot of customers by over strategizing it's business model.
looks really old
This design is getting outdated. It’s due for major design overhaul.
My goodness, that interior 🤢. Honda interiors are stuck in 2016
The Pilot is way cheaper than this in the US, and nobody buys it. This model and my passport share some similarities, I see both of them about 3-4 times a year.
Are you comparing Canadian dollars to US dollars? 1 (US) = 1.38 (Can.)
@@cablebrain9691 Thanks for the info, but I was just pointing out the situation south of Canada.
WHY WHY WHY no hybrid? 19/24 mph suks!
i got 29 mpg on a recent 420 mile trip going close to the speed limit on a 2020 Passport
Putting all of the usual Honda strengths aside, I just can’t see considering it because imho it is too “plain Jane” in styling. Really plain and boring. I do like to drive something that makes me look back at it after parking in a lot. This new Passport just blends in with all of the other boring suvs.
People in this price range dont really care about the looks they want the space functionality and reliability more than looks
@@MonicaHolly143
I hear you Monica and I agree with your premise. However the price in Canada where I live is closer to $60,000 which puts it in range with something more stylish. I think it just shows how expensive all new vehicles have become. Take care!
@@MonicaHolly143 I think they care about the appearance, and everything else, but they “settle” due to budget constraints.
There’s nothing updated about this. Whew the interior is so bad! 😂
What is it with Honda and its terrible passenger seats?! Try to Accord - terrible passenger seat that is positioned way too low!
