Your adventure-seeking SUV
The all-new 2019 Honda Passport is designed for adventure-seekers who want the superior off-road capability of Honda’s available i-VTM4 torque-vectoring all-wheel drive, the power and towing capability of its 3.5liter i-VTEC V6, and the more personal and rugged character of a five-passenger SUV. Within the Honda SUV lineup, in size and price, it slots between the refined and compact-size CR-V and the larger, three-row family-focused Pilot.
The 2019 Passport is based on Honda’s reinforced unibody mid-size light-truck platform, featuring a fully-boxed floor structure, the latest generation of Honda’s proprietary Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure along with a sophisticated fully independent suspension offering exceptional on- and off-road driving performance.
Passport’s rugged yet modern exterior styling comprises standard 20-inch wheels, aggressive black grille and increased ride height with more athletic proportion and stance compared to the three-row Pilot. Inside, Passport offers best-inclass passenger space and total interior volume and features a large “basement” cargo area ideal
for storing dirty gear or safely hidden valuables.
POWER
Powering the new Passport is a 3.5-liter SOHC direct-injected V6 engine with i-VTEC valvetrain connected exclusively to a secondgeneration nine-speed automatic transmission. Opt for all-wheel drive and Passport gains Honda’s torque-vectoring Intelligent Variable Torque Management all-wheel drive system with Intelligent Traction Management — with snow, mud and sand modes — allowing the driver to optimize Passport’s tractive and dynamic performance based on terrain and weather conditions. With 280 horsepower and 262 lb.-ft. of torque, Passport offers top-class standard horsepower, brisk acceleration and upto 5,000-pound towing capacity.
TECHNOLOGY
With Passport, drivers also benefit from the latest technology, including standard Honda Sensing suite of advanced safety and driverassistive technologies. Additionally, all Passports come with a multi-angle rearview camera system, while EX-L, Touring and Elite models come with Honda’s blind spot information system. Additional premium technologies available on Passport include in-vehicle Wi-Fi, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto One integration, an eight-inch display audio system, wireless phone charging and more. DESIGN
The most rugged of Honda’s light trucks yet, Passport’s expressive design leaves no doubt to its adventure-seeking mission. The black grille, bumper and black wheels convey off-road prowess, while LED headlight accents and chrome exhaust finishers hint at Passport’s around-town sophistication. Trim-exclusive 20inch wheel designs are available across the lineup, while Touring and Elite trims offer a wider stance by way of beefier 265/45R20 tires as standard equipment.
Beyond just good looks, Passport’s design offers superior functionality as well. In addition to more aggressive approach and departure angles, Passport features an increased ride height of approximately one inch compared to Pilot. The wider track provides better handling around town and the wider wheels provide increased grip. The wide hatch opens to reveal exceptional cargo space behind the rear seats.
