What Is the Upcoming Honda Passport?

The Passport is the newest entry in Honda’s SUV lineup, slotting between the compact CR-V and the midsize Pilot. Unlike the Pilot, the Passport will only come with two-row seating, and Honda also plans on giving it a rugged design that will do well on unpaved roads and dirt trails. Aside from that, there are a few things that help the Passport stand out.

American-Made

The new Passport will be coming out of the Honda manufacturing plant in Lincoln, Alabama. It joins other big Honda vehicles like the Odyssey, the Pilot, and the Ridgeline, all of which are popular vehicles in the United States. The Passport’s design came out of Ohio, so this is very much an American SUV for American buyers.

Technology for the Great Outdoors

To make the Passport an outdoor-friendly vehicle, Honda is giving it features like Intelligent Traction Management, which lets you set the traction control to snow mode even with front-wheel drive. It also comes with a V-6 engine and a nine-speed transmission.

Honda Sensing on Every Trim

A growing number of Honda vehicles are coming standard with Honda Sensing, a set of advanced driver assistance features like the Collision Mitigation Braking System and the Road Departure Mitigation System. The new Honda Passport is no exception.

Honda plans on releasing the Passport for the 2019 model year, so you can expect to see one at your local dealership soon. The Passport combines an SUV’s interior space with a truck’s ruggedness and a Honda’s durability, making it a great pick for many American customers.
