I agree, 4Runner has two look like mustache in the front, if you know what I meant. Looks so freaking ugly as hell. And the rear side window it’s so high all the way to the roof.
I drive a 2014 4-Runner now and I am considering buying the Passport. The is vehicle fits niche of for people like me who don't go offroad very much but needs 4 wheel drive for recreational activities like camping, kayaking, etc. The extra roominess in this vehicle should be enough for all my fishing gear. Sounds like the price point is going to be better than the new 4-Runner. After being loyal Toyota fan for over 20 years, I think I am jumping ship to vehicle that better meets my lifestyle.
While it might not attract the most hardcore offroad enthusiasts, I think this will be a win for Honda. The reviews will flesh out if it's traction control systems are up to the task of mild off-roading, but it looks like a good value and should take away some sales from their competitors.
I think there is a good market for a very capable off-road SUV that performs really well on the highway. I need a vehicle to explore the backcountry, tow a teardrop trailer, take me to the trailhead to bike/hike and allow me to get across washed out forestry roads on occasion. I think this is possibly the best option - let's see how it drives.
Or it does in fact attract the most off road focused enthusiasts, because you can have this, a aluminum trailer, and a well equipped side by side for the price of some TRD Pro junk.
Best model redesign from Honda in a long time, IMHO. So glad they redesigned the dash, because the current Gen was so boring! This will satisfy most people’s needs for light off roading. I’m sure there will be aftermarket upgrades to make it more capable for more rougher environments. Definitely on my hit list!
@@johnrose7212 I just test drove the Land Cruiser 1958 model. My back hurt after a 15 min test drive. What's up with those terrible seats? Manual too - not sure what Toyota is trying to do there. Also, it's a tight cockpit for tall people - my knees were hitting the steering wheel. Strike that one off the list.
It's the perfect SUV, powerful and not too big. I don't need a third row of seats. Personally, I'm a city guy, never go off-roading, and I like chrome trim (this one doesn't have it). The car is nice because there are no options on the market for a 250+ HP V6 with 5 seats and 190 inches long, except the Passport.
Looking forward to the reviews when the embargo lifts. One thing that bothers me that alot of manufacturers do. Why when something is 'offroad' oriented, do they insist on silver front and rear cladding? I know it's meant to look like the vehicle has front and rear bumper skid plates, but they're not fooling anyone.
Looks great! Will work awesome on WNC forest service roads to get to trailheads and camp spots. Lots of Subarus doing that around here. Hybrid would be awesome. 2” lift ought to look amazing and beat Subaru for clearance. Although only the worst back roads would ever require more.
That spare wheel solution is less then ideal. I´m not sure what to think, they solved a problem they created, but the solution isn´t the most practical; if they only had the donut, I wouldn´t even consider it. But now I need to think if I´d like to take the trouble of mounting the spare or taking a chance that i won´t need it.
It’s not a huge deal in my mind. The temporary spare is sufficient for most on road situations, so the full size spare ability is actually kinda nice to have that if a person so chooses it’s beneficial. Sure it would be nice to simply have the full-size fit under the floor but if that wasn’t feasible this a decent solution. Remember some pickups even now can’t fit their full-size spares in the traditional location. If my memory serves some of them do not even have a spare aside from the one slapped into their bed area.
Definitely gotta get my hands on one in Canada to see what features they include here that are beneficial to colder temperatures. Ive been driving volkswagen for many years, and VW has recently stopped supporting alot of those cold weather systems to help the vehicle. Like block heaters and oil heaters. VW stopped including them in cars and my current vehicle does struggle on cold days. Heated mirrors sure would be nice too! Along with a few other things of course.
I love the new look! I will have to see one in person. I hope the driver's seat goes UP higher than the 2023 CR-V. I'm only 5'3" and I feel like the seat is still not high enough for me. Our old 2003 CR-V raised higher than this one.
I don't see myself taking this off roading, but would take this for family road trips from Chicago to Colorado. With that said I wish it had a hybrid option since I feel we will start seeing gas creep up to over $5.00 a gallon.
Apparently, Honda didn't think their flagship off-road model needed any ground clearance?? I just bought an Outback Wilderness and its crazy to think that the people that buy these are going to have to immediately install a 2in lift just to barely have more clearance than my outback does from the factory. Also, maybe it's just me but the rear end of these new passports look so uninspiring and too much like a bronco sport.
Sort of reminds me of the FJ from Toyota. People are clamoring for those used FJ's now. I think this Passport sheds the nerdy and is ready for a large audience.
Honda is near on making an fulltime off-road vehicle, hoping they build a body on frame for their off roading vehicle as distinct vehicle for honda off-road vehicle variant. Almost all car company makes body on frame. I love honda vehicle. I also love off roading so that's my concern and honest opinion for honda and if it's become available in the middle east (&UAE)
1:37 I had never seen before a tire whose stem sticks out sideways. This is dangerous for city driving too if you curb the wheel, you may get a flat tire. They half solved a problem of their own making due to poor rim design
I feel like Honda shot themselves in the foot with this one. No one buys them now because they offer terrible value for the money compared to the CRV and Pilot for daily driving. And as an off roader, I'd rather buy a used 4Runner. It's a better option compared to the brand new $Runner, but almost anything does.
Honda will sell a bunch of these. Many focused on hard-core off-roading. But people will use this for fishing,surfing, kayaking,skiing, and biking. They don't need a rough tumbling 4 Runner. This fits multiple people's adventurous lifestyle than say 4 Runner would. Also good daily driver or highway travel vehicle.
Close but no cigar. While a huge improvement over the outgoing model, it lacks two important features serious off-roaders demand: a 2-speed transfer case and a “standard” full-size spare tire. Yes, it does offer an optional dealer-installed full-size spare, but it takes up way too much room in the cargo area. Plus it’s likely to be a costly option. Ditch the standard temporary spare, reconfigure the spare tire tub to fit that full-size matching spare which is now optional. One more thing… more ground clearance please! Until these issues are fixed, it will be a new 4Runner or Land Cruiser for me.
You need glasses. If so many people are saying Ford Bronco, Honda Element old Honda Passport/Izusu Rodeo looks. That's not minivan. Interior is Hoda Pilot or Ridgeline Odyssey like.

What's your take on the Passport's new look and upgrades? Let us know in the comments!
is there going to be a 360 camera? at this price point i'd hope so.
With 10 times the reliability
I like how this looks better than the new 4Runner.

It needs more ground clearance for off road
@@Rtt8135 Feels like Toyota is trying too hard. The Passport has a more retro feel. I like it.
@@IowaHiker 100% - If I get this I would raise it by 1.5"-3". I'm hoping Honda has an option to raise it from the factory, although I doubt they will.
This is something people that can't afford a 4Runner say lol

@@larryhouse3776 100%. I just tested out the new Land Cruiser - took 10 mins to strike that off the list. Totally overpriced.
If this is way cheaper than the 6th gen trd pro 4Runner, it’s gonna sell super well

I had a 93 passport and absolutely loved it. It handled snow like a boss
4Runner is toast. The passport is far more interesting roomier has a v6 drives better, better build quality etc
Funny you keep mentioning a product that you have continually said is better off not being mentioned…
IM gonna sell my 2024 Land cruiser and buy a Pass port,

Really!😂
One of the best reviews on the New Passport! Great job!
This looks great! Hopefully the new ridgeline with carry similar styling cues 🤞
Need to see it in person. I’m seeing hints of Element, Bronco Sport and Atlas in the design on screen.
And original Passport (Isuzu). People keep overlooking that
I do appreciate the option of carrying a full size spare.
It shouldn't be an option in any trail oriented SUV. It has to be a standard, like in Subaru Outback Wilderness.

Long time 4runner fan, but honda is really looking better
They brought the cargo shelf from the 3rd gen cr-v and the picnic table from the 1st gen cr-v . Honda im really excited for this.
They'll sell a boat load of these. V6 option is nice, would be great if they can get a hybrid in there. Maybe in a year.
Looks great. For people that want off road capability, but not going hard core. Design is solid
reminds me of the older honda passport/ isuzu rodeo.
Its a step up for sure and better than a 4ru in all ways
Looks great! Will work awesome on WNC forest service roads to get to trailheads and camp spots. Lots of Subarus doing that around here. Hybrid would be awesome. 2” lift ought to look amazing and beat Subaru for clearance. Although only the worst back roads would ever require more.
I've always been Honda guy, were waiting for Honda making a great Offroader/cross over , Now they did it !
No they did not! It's a wannabe.
Very nice! No HUD on the Elite?
Nice new SUV, but it needs more ground clearance than that. I imagine Honda will sell it also...
Nothing a 2” lift can’t solve
@@dobbingo9313100 percent….2 inch lift and 33’s
@@dobbingo9313 Just have to be careful about voiding the warranty.
@@MrMusakluver usually Honda’s HPD will have an lift option
This Passport is almost perfect. I wish Honda had the balls to engineer and design this around 33's. That would be awesome.
Dear Honda, take my money now.
Really!!😂😂😂😂
You got new sub bro,, best duo reviewer with carwow
Is the VCM system reliable in Honda’s V6 engines for long term ownership?

They do have a spare donut, it's a place for a second, full size spare. Weird.
The absence of gears shifter is a deal breaker…
I don't normally care about this segment but the passport looks very nice (especially in comparison with how the passport look currently)!

apart from offroad capability, how is the on road drive? how is the cabin noise?
The nonfunctional “vent” decor looks ridiculous. I wonder if there will be issues with turbulent noise? Ice? Just silly, IMO.
It looks like a fusion of the Ford Bronco Sport and the Ford Explorer Timberline
I can only imagine what the ADM will be for these - hoping they stick to retail and no more..
Really like the front-end design, also wish it looked less bulky. Maybe less wide & slightly lower roof line.
The rear legroom in the Passport is huge. I lot roomier than the new 4Runner
Honda merged the Ford Bronco Sport and the Ford Explorer Timberline and released this vehicle
I love the new look! I will have to see one in person. I hope the driver's seat goes UP higher than the 2023 CR-V. I'm only 5'3" and I feel like the seat is still not high enough for me. Our old 2003 CR-V raised higher than this one.
Okay Honda did something right here. i may get one. especially because it has a NA V6 and real transmission
Is it a push button shifter? I HATE those. Why I got a forester over a crv.
This looks like a great option!
awesome!!!!!!!!!!! ill wait till 2026 nice ride
I don't see myself taking this off roading, but would take this for family road trips from Chicago to Colorado. With that said I wish it had a hybrid option since I feel we will start seeing gas creep up to over $5.00 a gallon.
praying this brings back normal headlights and not the ugly popsicle sticks all the automakers love for some reason
Looks great, and it's going to be a lot better than a stressed out 4 cylinder 4Runner.

When are these hitting dealers?
Edmunds, any word on whether Honda will offer a Hybrid on its Large Platform vehicles?
Toyota missed the mark by going with a 4-cylinder turbo engine. Bye bye Toyota, hello Honda!
Sort of reminds me of the FJ from Toyota. People are clamoring for those used FJ's now.

Bring back the Element
Launch in India too, please😊

Real fold flat seats?
0:16 it has locking diffs?
The rear diff is between a locker and LSD.
In Sand and Mud, it “locks” up to the torque limit of the rear diff, after which it acts like an LSD.
I’m getting Honda element vibes
Wonder if this will fit at least 33 inch tires on it doesn't look like it will unfortunately.
This a a big regular family SUV. Just add a third row sit.
I drive a first gen CRV!
1:37 I had never seen before a tire whose stem sticks out sideways. This is dangerous for city driving too if you curb the wheel, you may get a flat tire. They half solved a problem of their own making due to poor rim design
Hopefully the stem is rubberized
Pathetic ground clearance, typical honda. Also no rock sliders and no low sleed transfer case.
VCM NO BUENO!!!
exterior is amazing. interior is very disapointing for a honda.
What it need is bigger wheels with 6 lug nuts.
It has tow hooks.. so offroad.... okiedokie
Why can't Honda make an actual off road SUV....sigh, this is basically a Honda bronco sport. Come on Honda!
Honda will sell this car well
How can a 5 seater be like a mini van? Someone has dropped their brain somewhere
