The 2024 Honda Passport: Which Trim Fits You?

The 2024 Honda Passport returns virtually unchanged from last year, and we are thrilled to see its generous passenger and cargo room, along with a robust suite of safety technologies, remain intact. The most significant update for 2024 is the inclusion of all-wheel drive (AWD) as standard on the base EX-L grade.

Trim Levels Overview

Passport EX-L

• Starting at $41,100
• Engine: 280-horsepower V6
• Drivetrain: All-wheel drive

Powertrain and Performance

All three trim levels are powered by a 280-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine that generates 262 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters, directing power to all four wheels. The 2024 Passport delivers an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 21 mpg combined (city and highway) and has a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds.

Intelligent Traction Management

Every 2024 Passport includes Honda’s Intelligent Traction Management system, which offers three modes—Snow, Sand, and Mud. This system adjusts the AWD, shift mapping, and throttle control to optimize performance in various driving conditions. Hill-start assist is also standard across all trims.
