Honda Passport Performance Overview
Honda’s Passport performance profile spans 1998 to 2026, with 13 verified tests covering its return from a single first-generation datapoint to a broader modern set. In first-generation form from 1998 to 2002, the Passport was represented here by the 205-hp 1998 EX, which reached 60 mph in 8.3 seconds, establishing the model’s earliest benchmark. After that initial run, the performance story resumes with the third-generation Passport launched for 2019, where Honda shifted to a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 in J35/J35Y6/J35Y8 form producing 280 to 285 hp, all within a gasoline-only lineup.
From 2019 onward, acceleration tightened substantially. The 2019 Elite remains the quickest Passport tested to 60 mph at 5.8 seconds, while later trims stayed close to that mark: the 2022 TrailSport reached 60 mph in 6.0 seconds, the 2022 EX-L did it in 6.2, and the 2023 TrailSport Elite matched 6.0. Quarter-mile performance also clustered consistently, led by the 2024 TrailSport’s 14.5-second pass at 95 mph. Across the current generation, the Passport stands today as a midsize two-row SUV with steady, naturally aspirated V6 performance, averaging 6.7 seconds to 60 mph across all recorded tests.
