Yahoo Autos 2021 Honda Passport adds standard Apple CarPlay, Android Auto
The Honda Passport enters its third year as the brand's midsize two-row SUV entrant. For 2021, the Passport sees prices climb by a few hundred dollars, but the base trim at least has additional content for the extra money.
Prices rise by $625 for the base Passport Sport. The 2WD Sport is now $33,710 (including $1,120 destination charge, which is an increase of $25 over 2020), while the Passport Sport with 4WD is $35,710. From there, the next step is the Passport EX-L, where prices inch up by $225. The EX-L 2WD is $37,730, with the 4WD version again carrying a $2,000 upcharge at $39,730.
The penultimate Passport is the Touring, which also sees a $225 increase, and now starts at $42,600 in 2WD form and $44,600 with 4WD. At the apex of the lineup sits the Passport Elite, offered exclusively with 4WD, and wearing a price tag marked $45,100. Again, that's $225 more than you'd pay last year.
The only change in features and equipment is in the base Sport. It now gets the same 8-inch display audio infotainment system as the fancier models, which also brings Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. So, those phone-integration technologies are now standard on all Passports. The Sport's display audio unit does not, however, include a text-message function, satellite radio, or HD radio — those remain the exclusive province of the EX-L and higher trims.
