2021 Honda Passport EX-L Sport Utility 4D

The EX-L badge is where this Passport stops feeling like a base-model compromise and starts earning its price.

That badge is the whole story here: a 3.5L V6 making 280 horsepower through a nine-speed automatic, leather-trimmed seating, front and rear parking sensors, and a real driver-assist suite with lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control and forward collision mitigation. Edmunds' editors picked the EX-L trim specifically, calling out that it adds a fair amount of convenience equipment for a reasonable amount of money. Of the 2021 Passport generally, Edmunds noted exceptional materials and assembly quality, a spacious interior and a comfortable ride that make it feel like a bargain for the class.

This one shows 98,112 miles, which is about 19,622 a year — highway miles, the kind a car puts on running Round Rock to Austin and back, hauling gear to a Saturday ballgame or pointing south toward the coast. Adaptive cruise on I-35 is worth more than it sounds on paper.

We'd rather you check us than take our word for it. Take the Carfax vehicle history report and read it yourself, and if you want your own mechanic to put it on a lift for a pre-purchase inspection, go do it — we'll help you arrange the time. We invite that because we expect this Passport to come back with a good report.

When you're ready, we'll make the rest easy: extended warranty options and GAP coverage if you want them, financing for every credit situation, and cash buyers are just as welcome. No pressure, no runaround — just a friendly conversation and a straight answer. Come drive it and see what you think.
