5 Reasons to Absolutely Fall in Love with the 2021 Honda Passport

September 10, 2021 · 3 min read

SUVs are one of the most popular vehicles on the road today for a variety of reasons. The biggest draw is the increased amount of space and comfort that they provide. However, there's more to deciding which vehicles is best for your lifestyle. That's where the 2021 Honda Passport comes in—it's got some spectacular features, outstanding safety systems, and some really neat amenities. That's why many drivers feel its head and shoulders above the rest.

Roomy Interior Space

One of the best features of the '21 Passport is the available space and ability to carry up to five passengers in premium comfort. In fact, the interior provides more space per passenger than other competing SUVs in its class. For instance, compared to a Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Passport has about 15 cubic feet of additional space on the interior.

Not only does it provide more interior space for passengers, but it also has 41 cubic feet in the cargo area, and even another 2.5 cubic feet underneath the floor. That extra bit of storage is the perfect spot for putting emergency tools or even everyday items.

Convenient Folding Seats

All of that interior space is perfect for transporting large items. However, what happens when you have to carry furniture or a rug, or something else oversized? All it takes is the push of a button, and the back passenger seats fold down smoothly. With the seats folded down, you get a gigantic 78 cubic feet of space! These features and more have put the Passport well above other competing mid-sized SUVs.

Fuel-Efficient Performance

The '21 Passport comes with a 3.5L V6 engine with an enormous 280-horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. That's paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission, making for a smooth and powerful drive. The sheer engine power and performance of this mid-sized SUV means it can tow up to 5,000 lbs without sacrificing on fuel-efficiency at all. If you opt for the front-wheel-drive version, you'll get about 20 mpg city and 25 mpg on the highway.

Extremely Comfortable

The brand new 2021 model has a huge 8-inch touchscreen display on its advanced infotainment system. It's got plenty of connectivity, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus Bluetooth and power points. So, you'll be ready for anything with this SUV. It also comes with a remote car starter, so you can heat or cool your car based on the weather without having to go outside at all.

There are also tri-zone climate controls, which can help keep every single passenger comfortable. No matter which trim level you opt for on this SUV, there are plenty of features available. The four trim levels include:

Sport
EX-L
Touring
Elite

Reliable Handling

With this all-new mid-sized SUV, you can also enjoy the comfortable ride and the responsive handling of its precise steering system. There's no lagging on the highway either, as this SUV gets up and goes the second you ask it to. When driving in the city, you can easily maneuver corners and sharp turns with its superior handling capabilities and responsive brakes.

The all-new '21 Passport is more than just a mid-sized SUV. It's got comfort, class, and an enormous amount of storage space, too. Whether you want to haul groceries, drive to work, or even take the kids to soccer practice, this mid-sized SUV checks all the boxes. Take a closer look at what the Passport can do for you.

Introducing the 2025 Honda Ridgeline: Truck Capability, SUV Comfort

The 2025 Honda Ridgeline is a midsize pickup designed for drivers seeking the versatile utility of a truck without sacrificing the comfort and ride quality of an SUV. Unlike its rivals that prioritize raw ruggedness, the Ridgeline features an unibody construction and fully independent suspension system, giving it car-like handling and ride comfort. Meanwhile, its powerful V6 engine and standard all-wheel drive ensure confident capability. Inside, a roomy, upscale, and family-friendly cabin makes it a pleasure to live with.

Consequently, it is remarkably agile and comfortable to handle, despite its size.
