2023 Honda Passport Review: You Can’t Have Everything

•    Auto123 reviews the 2023 Honda Passport Touring.

•    This in-betweenie SUV sits awkwardly in the lineup between twin juggernauts, the CR-V and Pilot.

If you want excitement, surprises, bling and pizzazz, then the 2023 Honda Passport is… not where you should be looking. In 2019 Honda squeezed this newest of its SUV models into the lineup between two juggernauts, the CR-V compact SUV and the Pilot SUV. The job of this five-seat midsize model is not to excite, provoke or impress on the road or with its cutting-edge tech. No, its job is to provide reliable, user-friendly transportation for five and please Honda fans while it does so. If you know Hondas, you know what you’re getting here.

One over-simplified way to look at the Passport is as a truncated Pilot, with the truncated part being the third row of seats. Interior space is superior to the CR-V.

What’s new in 2023
Very little this year, as the model received a facelift in 2022. Note that the latest Pilot and CR-V editions feature even newer front ends, so that could be in the cards for the Passport soon as well.
