Mid-size SUVs are ever-so-popular, and the Honda Passport is one of the most talked-about vehicles in this segment. With an array of infotainment and safety features coupled with a capable powertrain, the Honda Passport offers more than its intended purpose. Introduced back in 1993, the 2021 Passport is currently in its third generation. And for the 2021 model year, the Passport is a carryover of the previous model year version with notable updates such as the up-gradation of the infotainment system with an eight-inch touchscreen display compared to the five-inch display in the previous model. The midsize SUV market is a battlefield with a variety of brands competing for the top spot, the Toyota 4Runner being one of them.
The 2021 Honda Passport is available in four trims, namely Sport, EX-L, Touring, and Elite. As far as the price is concerned, the pricing starts from $32,700 MSRP for the base Sport trim and goes all the way up to $44,180 MSRP for the top-end Elite trim.
