The straightforward answer is that there was no 2000 Honda Passport. Honda sold the Passport only in 1994–1995 in North America, and then revived the name in 2019 for a different SUV. Because a 2000 version never existed, there is no official miles-per-gallon figure for that year. This article explains the model’s history and what MPG looked like across its two generations.
Historical overview of the Passport
To understand fuel economy, it helps to know when the Passport appeared and how it evolved. The original Passport was a short two-year run in the mid-1990s, built on Isuzu Rodeo underpinnings. After a long gap, Honda brought back the Passport in 2019 as a larger, unibody SUV sharing its platform with the Pilot. The two eras differ significantly in size, weight, and drivetrain options, all of which affect MPG.
Original Passport (1994–1995) fuel economy
As a brief production run, the early Passport offered the same general duty as its Rodeo-derived siblings. Fuel efficiency tended to sit in the high teens to low 20s miles per gallon, with variations based on drivetrain (two-wheel drive vs. four-wheel drive) and transmission. In short, the original Passport was capable of modest fuel economy by late‑1990s standards, but exact numbers depended on the specific configuration.
Modern Passport (2019–present) fuel economy
The revived Passport returned as a larger, more capable SUV with a modern V6 and a nine‑speed automatic transmission. With contemporary design and drivetrain options, fuel economy improved relative to many older SUVs, though all‑wheel drive typically lowers mileage versus front‑wheel drive. On average, owners and EPA estimates place the modern Passport in the low-to-mid 20s miles per gallon combined, with city/highway splits varying by year, trim, and whether the model is AWD or FWD.
Bottom line
Because there was no 2000 Honda Passport, there is no official MPG rating for that year. For context, the first-generation Passport (1994–1995) generally achieved roughly 19–22 mpg combined depending on configuration, while the modern (2019–present) Passport typically falls in the low 20s combined, with drivetrain and year differences influencing the exact figure.
Summary
In brief, you won’t find a 2000 Honda Passport. The model’s nameplate existed briefly in the mid-1990s and was revived in 2019, with fuel economy reflecting the era and drivetrain. If you’re evaluating MPG for a Passport, check the specific model year and drivetrain to get an accurate figure—the 1990s version and the modern version differ markedly in efficiency.
