4 — Honda Passport
Honda’s Passport is still relatively new, having debuted just last year. This shortened version of the Pilot (its wheelbase is 3 mm shorter) was one of our nicer surprises of the year, as it manages to deliver a well-balanced drive that combines plush comfort with great capabilities in difficult driving conditions.
The pricing is on the painful side, however, even in its base mode – much like with the Jeep Gladiator we covered earlier, by the way.
From our review:
“To sum up what the Passport is, is actually pretty simple: it’s a Pilot shortened by 15 cm that offers two rows of seats instead of three. The platform and the engine come directly from the Pilot. The wheelbase is also exactly the same, the Honda people having simply shortened the rear end. The Passport also benefits from a slightly elevated suspension to render it capable of mild off-roading; that suspension is also more dynamic.”
