Honda Passport
The Passport is a stubbier version of Honda’s Pilot SUV, and
shares the Pilot’s platform and its smooth, refined 3.5-liter V6
engine and nine-speed automatic transmission. We measured 21 mpg
overall. The five-seat, midsized Passport slots between the compact
CR-V and three-row Pilot, and competes with the Ford Edge and
Nissan Murano. Unlike the Pilot, we found the Passport’s ride to be
rather stiff, but without a marked improvement in handling agility.
The infotainment system is rather slow to respond and the push-but-
ton gear selector is tricky to use without looking down. The interior
is roomy and full of handy storage places. Forward collision warn-
ing and automatic emergency braking are standard, but blind spot
warning comes only on more-expensive trims. Blind spot warning is
standard on all but the base Sport trim.Overall Score 73

Honda Odyssey
Honda’s minivan packs in refinement, quietness, fuel economy, and
a versatile infotainment system. Its interior is very f lexible, with the
ability to slide the second-row outboard seats sideways. Several con-
nectivity and storage features keep the entire family happy. The 280-
hp, 3.5-liter V6 engine supplies plenty of power and is teamed with a
fairly unobtrusive nine-speed automatic transmission. The top trims,
Touring and Elite, get a slicker 10-speed transmission. The engine is
smooth, punchy, and hushed, but there is no all-wheel-drive option.
The ride is very comfortable, the cabin is quiet, and handling is
sound. However, the push-button gear selector is a nuisance to use
when parking. The optional 8-inch infotainment touch screen is easi-
er to use than the previous offering, but it can still be distracting.
