The Honda Passport went out of production nearly 16 years ago but a new report is indicating the company will revive the moniker on an all-new crossover.

Automotive News is reporting Honda will use the Passport name on a new crossover which will be positioned between the CR-V and Pilot. Little is known about the model but the publication says the crossover will be approximately six inches shorter than the Pilot and compete with models such as the Ford Edge and Nissan Murano.


Honda declined to confirm the report but the Passport will reportedly debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November before going on sale in the United States in 2019. The model is expected to be based on the same platform that underpins the Pilot and will likely be built alongside the model in Lincoln, Alabama.

Its possible the crossover will be powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 280 hp and 354 Nm of torque. In the Pilot, the engine can be connected to either a six- or nine-speed automatic transmission.

Pricing remains unconfirmed but the CR-V starts at US$ 24,150 while the Pilot begins at US$ 30,900. This likely means the Passport will be cost between US$ 26,000 and US$ 28,000.
