Read our Expert Rating for our test team's full evaluation of the Passport's utility, comfort and more. Overall the Passport is a great pick for a five-passenger midsize crossover SUV. A new TrailSport trim also debuts for 2022, adding standard all-wheel drive, more aggressive tires and a wider track, along with orange accents and details to help distinguish it from other Passports.

Honda makes a few changes to the Passport for 2022. It also offers enough ground clearance and an available all-wheel-drive system for camping excursions and foul-weather situations.
