The 2025 Honda Passport is a mid-size SUV with room for five people and a cargo bed behind the rear seats

The 2025 Honda Passport measures 190.8 inches long, 76.0 inches wide, and 71.6 inches tall. That makes it roughly the size of a full-size pickup truck in length, but narrower and lower. It seats five adults across two rows, with the second row folding flat to create a 76.5-cubic-foot cargo area when you include the space behind the rear seats.

The wheelbase — the distance between front and rear axles — is 112.8 inches. This affects how the vehicle handles tight parking spaces and how much overhang extends beyond the wheels at the front and back. The longer the wheelbase relative to overall length, the more stable the ride tends to be on highways, but the harder it can be to maneuver in tight spaces.

Ground clearance is 8.8 inches, which is higher than most sedans but lower than a full-size truck. This matters if you plan to drive on unpaved roads or through water crossings, or if you live somewhere with steep driveways.

Key Takeaways

  • The 2025 Passport is 190.8 inches long and 76.0 inches wide, making it similar in length to a full-size pickup but narrower and lower.
  • It has a 112.8-inch wheelbase and 8.8 inches of ground clearance, which affects handling, parking ease, and off-road capability.
  • The cargo area behind the rear seats holds 76.5 cubic feet when the second row is folded down.
  • Five adults fit across two rows, with the second row offering less legroom than the front.

Interior Space and Seating

The front row has 39.4 inches of headroom and 41.5 inches of legroom. The second row has 38.2 inches of headroom and 38.0 inches of legroom. If you are over six feet tall, the front seat will feel comfortable for long drives, but the back seat may feel tight if you are sitting behind someone who is also tall.

The second row is a bench seat that fits three people, though two adults will be more comfortable than three. The middle seat is narrower than the outer seats. All five seats have a combined shoulder room of about 62 inches across the widest point of the vehicle.

Shoulder room in the front is 58.9 inches and in the back is 57.3 inches. This is the width available at shoulder height, which matters more for comfort than the overall vehicle width does. A narrower shoulder room can make the back seat feel cramped even if the vehicle is wide overall.

Cargo and Storage Behind the Rear Seats

The space directly behind the rear seats, before you fold anything down, holds 39.3 cubic feet. This is where you would put groceries, luggage, or sports equipment without removing the back seats. If you fold the rear seats flat, the total cargo volume increases to 76.5 cubic feet.

The cargo opening is 40.2 inches wide and 27.6 inches tall, which limits the size of items you can load. A standard sheet of plywood (48 by 96 inches) will not fit through the opening without tilting it at an angle. The cargo floor is 74.0 inches long when the rear seats are folded.

There is no roof rack included, but the Passport has roof rails that allow you to add a roof rack, cargo box, or bike carrier separately. The maximum roof load capacity is 150 pounds, which is enough for a small cargo box or two or three bikes, but not for a full-size roof tent.

Towing and Weight Capacity

The 2025 Passport can tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped with a trailer hitch. The curb weight — the weight of the vehicle itself with no passengers or cargo — is approximately 4,430 pounds, depending on which trim level you choose. The gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is the maximum total weight the vehicle can safely carry, including passengers, cargo, and fluids.

Payload capacity is the amount of weight you can add to the vehicle after it leaves the factory. For the 2025 Passport, this is around 1,000 pounds, though the exact number varies by trim and options. This includes passengers, cargo, and any aftermarket equipment you install.

If you plan to tow a trailer regularly, you will need to account for the weight of the trailer plus its cargo when calculating whether the Passport can handle your needs. A 5,000-pound capacity is suitable for a small utility trailer or a boat under 20 feet, but not for a large travel trailer.

How the Passport Compares to Similar Vehicles

The Passport sits between a compact SUV like the Honda CR-V and a full-size truck like the Ford F-150. The CR-V is 182.8 inches long and seats five, but has less ground clearance (8.2 inches) and a smaller cargo area (39.3 cubic feet with seats up). The Passport trades some interior comfort for more rugged capability.

Compared to the Toyota 4Runner, another mid-size SUV, the Passport is slightly shorter (190.8 inches versus 190.9 inches) and narrower (76.0 inches versus 77.9 inches). The 4Runner has more ground clearance (8.9 inches versus 8.8 inches) and a higher towing capacity (5,600 pounds versus 5,000 pounds), but the Passport is lighter and uses less fuel.

If you need a vehicle primarily for on-road driving with occasional light off-roading, the Passport's dimensions and capacity are well-suited. If you plan to tow heavy loads regularly or need maximum cargo space, a full-size truck may be more practical despite being longer and harder to park.

Parking and Maneuverability

The turning radius of the 2025 Passport is 37.4 feet, which is the diameter of the circle the vehicle traces when you turn the steering wheel all the way to one side. This is wider than a sedan (typically 33 to 35 feet) but narrower than a full-size truck (typically 40 to 45 feet). In a standard parking lot, this means you can usually fit into a regular parking space without needing extra room, but tight urban parking may require multiple attempts.

The overall length of 190.8 inches is about 16 inches longer than a Honda CR-V and about 8 inches shorter than a Ford F-150. In a standard parking space (usually 180 to 200 inches long), the Passport fits comfortably. In a compact space (160 to 170 inches), it will not fit.

Visibility from the driver's seat is good in the front and sides, but the rear window is small and the cargo area behind the rear seats can create a blind spot. A backup camera is standard on all 2025 Passport models, which helps when reversing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a 2025 Passport fit in a standard garage?

A standard single-car garage is typically 120 inches wide and 240 inches long. The Passport is 76.0 inches wide and 190.8 inches long, so it will fit lengthwise with about 49 inches to spare. However, if your garage has pillars, shelving, or a water heater taking up space, you should measure your actual available space before purchasing.

How much cargo space do I lose if I have five passengers?

With all five seats occupied, you have 39.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats. If you fold the rear seats down, you lose seating for three people but gain 76.5 cubic feet total. There is no way to have both maximum seating and maximum cargo at the same time.

Can the Passport tow a travel trailer?

The Passport can tow up to 5,000 pounds, which is suitable for small travel trailers (typically 3,000 to 4,500 pounds) but not for larger ones. You will need to check the dry weight of any trailer you are considering and add the weight of water, propane, and cargo to get the actual towing load.

Is the back seat comfortable for long road trips?

The back seat has 38.0 inches of legroom and 38.2 inches of headroom, which is adequate for adults on trips under three hours. For longer trips, passengers in the back may feel cramped. The middle seat is narrower than the outer seats, so three adults across the back will be uncomfortable.

What is the difference between the Passport's ground clearance and a truck's?

The Passport has 8.8 inches of ground clearance, while a full-size truck like the Ford F-150 has 8.6 to 10.8 inches depending on the suspension. The difference is small, but trucks often have longer overhangs at the front and back, which affects approach and departure angles — the steepness of terrain the vehicle can climb without scraping the bumper.
