Honda Passport Slightly More Expensive For 2024
The Honda Passport soldiers on with some minor changes for 2024.
The two-row, midsized non-premium crossover market is surprisingly shallow. Aside from the Chevy Blazer, Hyundai Santa Fe, and Ford Edge, the vast majority of the midsized crossovers have three rows of seats. The Honda Passport was invented to compete with those two-row crossovers, essentially being a two-row version of the Pilot. But, while the Pilot was totally redesigned last year, the Passport continues on with the same body as before. For 2024, Honda made the Passport a little more off-road capable in its TrailSport model, and a little more sinister with the Black Edition.
The Trailsport trim was already a part of the Passport line before 2024, but the trim gets a bit more aggressive for this model year. The suspension has been retuned for better off-road performance, and there have been upgrades to the Passport Trailsport’s wheels and tires. The all-season tires have been replaced with bonafide all-terrain General Grabber ATX tires, wrapped around new 18-inch wheels.
The Honda Passport drops the top “Elite” trim moniker, opting to make the former Black Edition appearance package, serve as the top trim of the Passport. As before, all of the Passport’s brightwork shifts from silver to gloss black. Inside, this model gets standard leather seats, ventilated seats up front, and heated seats in the rear.
Just like before, the Passport is still AWD only. Pricing is a little higher this year – the base EX-L is now $41,900 about $800 higher than last year. The Trailsport is $44,500, and the top trim Black Edition is $47,970. All prices are subject to a $1,375 destination fee, $100 more expensive than the 2023 price.
Sales of the Passport have been somewhat modest. Hopefully, these updates will keep the Passport relevant before its inevitable full makeover when it migrates to the Pilot’s new platform. The 2024 Honda Passport is already en route to dealer lots.
