The 2026 Honda Passport is a suv that earns a Carivo score of 8.0/10 — rated Recommended. Its strongest dimension is Safety at 8.7/10, while Technology at 7.0/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a solid all-rounder that delivers across most dimensions without obvious deal-breakers.
Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. Reliability stands out at 8.6/10. The Passport nameplate has earned that score through its track record and a comparatively clean recall sheet. On safety, it scores 8.7/10 in our assessment.

With 7.9/10 for performance, this is a car tuned for daily driving rather than excitement — perfectly capable on the commute, unremarkable on a back road. At 7.0/10 for technology, the infotainment and driver-assist package does its job without setting benchmarks — check which features cost extra on lower trims.
Priced from $41,509–$50,065, 21 MPG, seating 5, the Honda Passport sits in the mid-market bracket of the suv segment. At 7.5/10 for value, it delivers fair pricing for what's on offer, though the best alternatives in this price range score slightly higher. As the current model year, it benefits from the latest updates and full manufacturer warranty coverage.
Verdict: Nothing about the 2026 Honda Passport will scare a sensible buyer off. It scores consistently across the board, and it does what a good suv should — quietly and competently.
