REPRESENTATIVE PHOTOErik Mclean / PexelsOur verdict
7.5 / 10The fourth-gen Passport is a genuinely capable off-road 2-row SUV with serious ground clearance and TrailWatch cameras — but Honda does not sell it in the UAE. The local line-up stops at the Pilot, so buyers wanting Honda reliability in this size bracket should look there, or at used American imports with eyes open on spec and compliance.
Who it's for — Enthusiasts who might import a US-spec off-roader — not typical UAE new-car buyers shopping official dealer networks.
PROS
- +Strong off-road hardware and 246 mm ground clearance
- +Proven 3.5L V6 with 10-speed auto
- +Huge 1,155 L cargo space
CONS
- –Not sold new through Honda UAE
- –No official warranty or service network support
- –Would likely price above Pilot if ever launched locally
