I just recently acquired a 2019 Black Copper Passport AWD EX-L sight unseen and couldn't be more satisfied with my purchase. It didn't hurt that the price was $6500 off MSRP and included free delivery to my home about 130 miles from the dealer. The transaction was handled quickly with regard to social distancing in my driveway.
I was considering a Kia Telluride but didn't really want the third row seats and some dealers were marking up the price well above MSRP. The Honda has about the same power, a better AWD system, and and enormous cargo volume. I read just about every review and test report of the Passport and felt that there was very little risk of purchasing the vehicle without a test drive.
The one thing I didn't like on the Passport is the 20" wheels. If I wanted an AWD vehicle with low profile tires I would have bought a Kia Stinger. Anyway, I instantly replaced the wheels to mount 17" P245/65R17 Yokohama Geolandar A-T G015 Tires. I also installed a Curt trailer hitch, trailer wiring harness, and WeatherTech floor mats.
