Passport 3.5 V6 EX-L

The Honda Passport EX-L is a mid-size SUV built around a 3.5L V6 petrol engine paired with an automatic gearbox. This is the leather-trimmed trim level sitting above the base Sport grade, aimed at buyers who want a larger, more capable SUV than a CR-V without going full-size. The V6 pulls smoothly and confidently, with enough torque for highway overtaking and loaded driving. In Pakistani city traffic, expect fuel consumption in the 7-9 km/l range given the engine size, though highway figures will be noticeably better.

The Passport is a grey import in Pakistan, which means parts availability is limited compared to locally assembled Hondas. Mechanics familiar with the Pilot or Odyssey V6 will have some overlap in knowledge, but specialist workshops in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad are your best bet. Resale is narrower than mainstream SUVs since the buyer pool is smaller. For an older example, check the transmission fluid condition, suspension bushings, and AC performance as priority service items.
