The New Honda Passport Is Still Selling Like Hotcakes

The new Honda Passport hit dealerships earlier this year, and it proved a hot commodity out of the gate. Rightfully so; Honda’s mid-size SUV is hugely improved for 2026. Through the end of September, the company moved 41,450 Passports, an increase of 74.8 percent compared to September 2024. Those numbers look even better through November.

The Honda Passport had a record November, with 4,363 examples finding new homes. That number is up 73.0 percent year to date. So far in 2025, Honda has sold a whopping 50,530 examples of the Passport in total, a strong 73.2 percent increase compared to last year. Through November 2024, Honda only sold 29,172 Passports by comparison.

That said, the Passport’s 50,000 units are still a relative drop in the bucket compared to Honda’s other popular SUVs. The company has already sold more than 368,000 CR-Vs this year, more than 137,000 HR-Vs, and just over 113,000 Pilots. Still, the Passport’s 73.2 percent increase is the highest among all of Honda’s vehicles, with the Prologue being the next best with a 52.2 percent increase.

Interestingly, the new Honda Prelude is already selling in the US, with the first few models hitting dealerships last month. Honda has sold 30 examples of the hybrid coupe so far in 2025; we'll be curious to see how that number looks over the next few months.

Here’s what Honda’s sales look like so far in 2025:

Model November 2025 Sales 2025 YTD Sales YTD Increase/Decrease
Honda Accord 10,613 134,686 -9.0%
Honda Civic 17,353 220,485 -1.3%
Honda Prelude 30 30 0.0%
Honda CR-V 39,421 368,618 1.4%
Honda HR-V 10,821 137,308 -1.2%
Honda Odyssey 5,492 81,900 13.9%
Honda Passport 4,363 50,530 73.2%
Honda Pilot 9,234 113,686 -11.0%
Honda Prologue 903 38,262 52.2%
Honda Ridgeline 3,352 44,823 8.4%

Honda’s sales are mostly up across the board, with only a handful of models seeing a slight decrease in 2025. The Pilot is down by 11.0 percent—but a new version has already debuted for 2026, and should hit dealerships sometime in the next few months. The Accord, meanwhile, was down slightly by 9.0 percent, while the Civic was down just 1.3 percent.

On the Acura side, the three-row MDX is still the luxury brand’s most popular vehicle, with 37,512 examples finding new homes so far in 2025. That said, sales of the three-row SUV are still down by 16.8 percent compared to last year. The RDX has also seen a significant drop of 26.4 percent compared to last year, with fewer than 29,000 examples sold this year.

The only Acura model that has seen a slight increase, interestingly, is the now-discontinued TLX sedan. The TLX is up 5.8 percent compared to last year, with a scant 7,424 examples sold so far this year. The Integra, meanwhile, is still the automaker’s most popular "sedan" with 18,462 units moved in 2025.

Here’s what the Acura sales chart looks like so far in 2025:

Model November 2025 Sales 2025 YTD Sales YTD Increase/Decrease
Acura ADX 2,837 17,313 0.0%
Acura Integra 1,944 18,462 -17.8%
Acura MDX 3,309 37,512 -16.8%
Acura RDX 2,491 28,917 -26.4%
Acura TLX 639 7,424 5.8%
Acura ZDX 22 11,962 115.8%

All told, Honda sold 91,582 vehicles in November, an improvement of 1.8 percent year-to-date. Even amidst a November slump, Acura still moved 11,242 units last month and is up 1.9 percent on the year, with more than 121,000 vehicles sold so far in 2025.
