What fuel economy does the Honda Passport get for Panama City drivers?

Fuel economy on the Honda Passport depends on the trim and drivetrain you choose. For a Panama City driver, that choice shows up on every trip down Highway 98 and at every fill-up. Group 1 Honda Panama City sells the Passport at 3601 E 15th St, so you can compare the trims and drive one in the same visit.

How many miles per gallon does the Honda Passport get by trim?

The EPA certification record for the 2026 Passport gives city, highway and combined mpg for two all-wheel-drive trims. The Passport AWD rates 19 city, 25 highway and 21 combined, and the Passport AWD TrailSport rates 18, 23 and 20.

The base AWD is the higher rated of the two on every line. The TrailSport trades some mileage for its added equipment, so a buyer who puts fuel economy first should start with the AWD.

Does all-wheel drive cost the Passport fuel economy?

Both Passport trims on record are all-wheel drive, rated 21 combined on the AWD and 20 on the AWD TrailSport. Those are the numbers a buyer should plan around when weighing the drivetrain. The AWD TrailSport’s combined figure sits one mpg below the base AWD, and its city and highway figures run lower too. For Panama City driving, the case for all-wheel drive rests on what it adds in traction and towing, and the ratings above show what that choice costs in mileage.

What does the Passport’s EPA rating mean on Panama City roads?

The EPA city figure applies to stop-and-go driving, and the highway figure applies to steady speeds, such as runs on US 231 or Highway 98. The U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey five-year estimates put average travel time to work at 21.4 minutes for workers living in Panama City. The busiest continuous count site in Bay County, on US 98 near the Hathaway Bridge, recorded 67,969 vehicles a day on average in 2025 (Florida Department of Transportation, Florida Traffic Online, 2025). A buyer whose week runs mostly on that stretch should weigh the city figure more heavily than the highway number.

How much does it cost to fuel a Honda Passport in Florida?

The EPA estimates the Passport AWD at $2,950 a year in fuel, and the Passport AWD TrailSport at $3,100 a year. Those are the EPA’s estimated annual fuel costs for the 2026 model year. The higher figure for the TrailSport follows from its lower mpg, so a driver who logs many miles on the road should expect the TrailSport to cost more to run.

Which Passport trim gives the best mix of mpg and features?

At Group 1 Honda Panama City, the Honda Passport AWD gives the highest fuel figure in our record, at 21 mpg combined, and the Honda Passport RTL has the lowest starting price, at $44,950. The RTL, RTL Blackout and RTL Towing each seat five, with 41.1 inches of first-row legroom, 40.9 inches in the second row, 83.8 cubic feet of cargo behind the first row and 104.6 cubic feet at maximum. The TrailSport starts at $48,650 and shares the five-seat layout. A driver who wants the most room for the price should look at the RTL trims, and anyone after the AWD efficiency should weigh the AWD trims against their price.

Frequently asked questions

How does EPA calculate the Passport’s combined mpg?

The combined figure is a weighted average, with the city figure counted at 55% and the highway figure at 45% (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 2026). That weighting explains why the combined number, not the city or highway number, is the one to compare across trims. Use the combined figure to compare the AWD and AWD TrailSport.

Does the Honda Passport have a hybrid version?

Every Passport figure we carry is for a gasoline engine. Honda’s 2026 specifications list 285 horsepower at 6,100 rpm, and both EPA records for the AWD trims show a 3.5-liter six-cylinder.

How much can a Honda Passport tow?

Honda’s 2026 specifications list a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds for the Passport. The same rating appears for each Passport trim in those specifications.

How many seats does a Honda Passport have?

Honda’s 2026 specifications list five seats on the RTL, RTL Blackout, RTL Towing and TrailSport trims.
