Honda Posts Pricing for Passport

by Matthew Guy

Published: October 26th, 2023

Sitting as Honda’s entrant into the brutally competitive midsize two-row crossover game, the Passport walks a decent line between the smaller CR-V and three-row Pilot. For 2024, its prices creep slightly northward – except for one trim which will force customers to open their wallets just a little bit further.

A trio of trims await: EX-L, TrailSport, and a Black Edition. It’s the latter which sees the biggest apples-to-apples increase, usurping last year’s Elite trim and bringing a roughly $1,400 jump in price to land at $47,970 before fees and taxes. The other two models are up less than a thousand bucks to $41,900 and $44,500 for the EX-L and TrailSport, respectively.

The new boss is the same as the old boss for 2024, with Honda gifting only the slightest of changes to the rig overall. All trims benefit from a new center console featuring a freshly rethought armrest and better storage characteristics. The center bin can now apparently swallow a full-size tablet, while an improved tray fore of the shifter is commodious enough to accept a couple of smartphones side-by-each.

TrailSport trims bring a skiff of extra off-road capability compared to past efforts. Honda says this model has a suspension tuned for off-roading thanks to increased wheel articulation and improved ride quality on the trails. Sure beats a cynical stickers-and-wallpaper effort aimed at wannabe overlanders. The TrailSport also includes the Passport's first application of all-terrain tires in the form of 18-inch General Grabber A/T Sport rubber with a decent sidewall.

Other than that, changes are basically limited to a new paint color and the aforementioned Black Edition which supplants the old Elite. It has the expected blackout treatments for exterior trim, along with red-accented perforated upholstery on its seats and red lighting scattered about the interior. Oh, and scheduled maintenance is now covered for the first two years or 24,000 miles, though powertrains remain unchanged.

The 2024 Passport should be rolling into dealerships soon.

Still, the Passport’s base price has soared by $10K or more in a fairly short period of time. This was not all - or even mostly - inflation.

  They got rid of the base stripper a few years ago. Exl is the base trim.

Who's even looking at these when the all new Pilot is out? I assume a new Passport based on that should be coming soon, but not soon enough it seems.

ToolGuy This thing here is interesting.For example, I can select "Historical" and "EV stock" and "Cars" and "USA" and see how many BEVs and PHEVs were on U.S. roads from 2010 to 2023."EV stock share" is also interesting. Or perhaps you prefer "EV sales share".If you are in the U.S., whatever you do, do not select "World" in the 'Region' dropdown. It might blow your small insular mind. 😉
ToolGuy This podcast was pretty interesting. I listened to it this morning, and now I am commenting. Listened to the podcast, now commenting on the podcast. See how this works? LOL.
VoGhost If you want this to succeed, enlarge the battery and make the vehicle in Spartanburg so you buyers get the $7,500 discount.
Jeff Look at the the 65 and 66 Pontiacs some of the most beautiful and well made Pontiacs. 66 Olds Toronado and 67 Cadillac Eldorado were beautiful as well. Mercury had some really nice looking cars during the 60s as well. The 69 thru 72 Grand Prix were nice along with the first generation of Monte Carlo 70 thru 72. Midsize GM cars were nice as well.The 69s were still good but the cheapening started in 68. Even the 70s GMs were good but fit and finish took a dive especially the interiors with more plastics and more shared interiors.
