Driving Performance & Handling
The 285 hp V6 and 10-speed hustle the 4,467 lb Passport to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds — strong for a two-row this size — while the TrailSport's all-terrain tires and skid plates trade a little pavement sharpness for genuine trail ability. Fuel economy is the cost: 21 MPG combined.

On-Road Price & Value for Money
| Starting MSRP | $47,730 |
At $47,730, the TrailSport asks flagship-SUV money for a five-seater, but the spec sheet answers with 41.2 cu ft of cargo, a 5,000 lb tow rating and factory off-road hardware. Buyers wanting maximum trail capability per dollar may still look at the 4Runner; those splitting commuting and camping get the more refined daily driver here.
Comparison with Rivals
Key competitors include the Subaru Outback Wilderness, Toyota 4Runner and Jeep Grand Cherokee.
The 4Runner and Wrangler are more capable off-road; the Subaru Outback is more efficient. The Passport TrailSport is the most refined daily-drivable choice.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Massive 41 cu ft cargo bay

TrailSport off-road hardware
Honda reliability
Cons
No hybrid
Less off-road capable than 4Runner or Wrangler
Fuel economy modest
Overall Rating
4.3 / 5 — a rare mix of big cargo, V6 pace and real off-road kit in a refined two-row; marked down for missing hybrid economy and yielding hardcore trail work to the 4Runner and Wrangler.
