2023 Honda Passport Safety and Reliability

The Honda Passport is one of the better choices in its class when it comes to keeping your family safe during an accident. According to the NHTSA review, the 2023 Honda Passport has an overall safety rating of five out of five stars. The IIHS was a little more conservative in its review, giving the Passport top scores in three categories, Acceptable in the small overlap front: passenger-side test, and just Marginal in an updated side-crash evaluation.

There's a good reason why the Passport is considered a relatively safe car by the authorities: Honda has packed the Passport full of advanced driver assistance systems. All trim levels are equipped with six airbags, a rear-seat reminder, LED headlights, ABS, EBD, a rearview camera, traction control, and a tire pressure monitor.

Driver aids include collision mitigation, road-departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, forward-collision warning, auto high-beam headlights, blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert, and lane-departure warning. Front and rear parking sensors are standard for all trims, and each car gets a multi-angle rearview camera with dynamic guidelines.

In terms of reliability, the Honda Passport has a good reputation. The last recalls listed by the NHTSA were for the 2020 models, with none recorded for the years after that. Although J.D. Power has yet to publish its review of the Honda Passport for 2023, the 2022 models scored 83 out of 100 for quality and reliability.

Honda will cover the Passport with a three-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile drivetrain warranty.
