2001 Honda Passport 2WD: the full review

The 2001 Passport 2WD combines a 3.2 L six-cylinder engine with rear-wheel drive and an automatic transmission. Its 17 MPG combined rating and $3,950 annual fuel cost are useful figures for buyers comparing fuel use.

Overview

The 2001 Honda Passport 2WD is a gasoline-powered sport utility vehicle with rear-wheel drive and an automatic four-speed transmission. Its EPA-classified configuration pairs a 3.2-liter six-cylinder engine with fuel economy ratings of 15 MPG in city driving and 20 MPG on the highway, for 17 MPG combined.

That combined rating and the EPA-estimated annual fuel cost of $3,950 make fuel use an important part of the ownership picture. The EPA lists tailpipe carbon dioxide emissions at 522.76 grams per mile. These figures describe the 2WD Passport configuration; they should not be treated as specifications for every Passport.

Key features

Powertrain: 3.2 L six-cylinder gasoline engine and automatic four-speed transmission.
Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive.
EPA fuel economy: 15 MPG city, 20 MPG highway and 17 MPG combined.
EPA annual fuel cost: $3,950.
Tailpipe CO2: 522.76 grams per mile.

The ratings show a four-MPG difference between highway and city fuel economy. The combined figure is a useful single point of reference, but the city and highway ratings provide more context for drivers whose use is weighted toward one type of driving.

Pricing

No purchase price or current market price is provided for the 2001 Honda Passport 2WD. The available cost figure is the EPA annual fuel cost estimate: $3,950. It covers fuel expense, not the full cost of owning or operating the vehicle.

Who it's for

The listed specifications may help buyers comparing gasoline SUVs who want rear-wheel drive, a six-cylinder engine and an automatic transmission. The fuel economy figures also give shoppers a basis for weighing this configuration’s expected fuel use against other vehicles they are considering. A shopper focused on lower fuel costs should pay close attention to its 17 MPG combined rating and $3,950 estimated annual fuel cost.

These specifications alone do not establish cargo capacity, passenger space, safety equipment, reliability, or suitability for a particular job or fleet. Buyers and operators who need those details will need to evaluate them separately.

The 2027 Honda Odyssey offers another Honda body style to consider. These are comparison options, not equivalent vehicles; review each model’s specifications for the details relevant to your needs.

Verdict

The 2001 Honda Passport 2WD is defined here by a straightforward combination of a 3.2-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic four-speed transmission and rear-wheel drive. Its EPA ratings—15 MPG city, 20 MPG highway and 17 MPG combined—along with the $3,950 annual fuel cost estimate and 522.76 g/mi tailpipe CO2 figure make fuel economy a central consideration. It may merit comparison for shoppers seeking this drivetrain and engine configuration, but the available figures do not cover purchase price or broader ownership factors.
