Closely related to the Honda Pilot, the new Passport midsize SUV is a shorter version devoid of third-row seats. This model proves a bit sportier than the Pilot, yet manages to offer a comfortable ride. The platform and engine are both identical, the latter a 3.5-litre V6 producing 280 horsepower. Shifting is handled by a nine-speed automatic transmission. Inside, there is generous room for five along with a vast cargo area in the rear.
