Performance and Handling
Pop open any Passport model’s hood, and you’ll be greeted by a capable 3.5L V6 engine delivering 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. That’s more than enough power to make passing on the highway a breeze, plus it provides the SUV with the ability to tow up to 5,000 pounds. Partnering with the engine to achieve robust power delivery to all four wheels is a 9-speed automatic transmission boasting multi-gear downshifting and paddle shifters.
Whether you’re traveling over pavement, snow, sand, or mud, the Passport’s torque-vectoring all-wheel drive, fully independent suspension, and its off-road-focused TrailSport model’s extra-rugged tires give you the confidence to see your trip through. Intelligent Traction Management helps you adjust torque and handling characteristics, so that you can better navigate through a mix of conditions.
Utility
Aside from its proven all-wheel drive system, the Passport further displays its capabilities with a bevy of exterior accessories. The roof rails can attach a large 150-pound capacity cargo basket and racks for skis, snowboards, and bicycles. Got your arms full of grocery bags? That’s no problem because the vehicle features a hands-free liftgate that activates when you wave your foot under the sensor mounted to rear bumper.
Passenger Cabin
These are the words that will come to mind when describing the Passport’s interior: spacious, inviting, comfortable, and versatile. That’s easy to see when you step into the cabin with its 114.9 cubic feet of passenger space and sit in its 10-way power driver’s seat or stretch out in the available heated rear seating providing 39.6 inches of legroom.
The wealth of standard amenities includes tri-zone automatic climate control, leather-upholstered seats, a wireless charging station, and a multi-functional center console storage compartment. Complimenting the large underfloor storage compartments in the cargo area and fold-flat, 60/40-split rear seats, the available Function Package features a cargo net and a cargo cover for keeping your valuables safe from prying eyes.
Infotainment
All Passports come with an 8-inch high-resolution touchscreen system with support for Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth streaming audio and hands-free calling/texting, and SiriusXM satellite radio. In addition to coming standard with Honda’s satellite-linked navigation system, the Elite trim comes with a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot and a 540-watt, 10-speaker premium audio system for blasting your favorite tunes.
