The Honda Passport started life as a rebadged Isuzu Rodeo SUV, but when it was brought back for the 2019 model year Honda decided to keep all design and manufacturing in-house. Basing the new model off the larger Pilot three-row crossover, this shorter two-row SUV has a more compact silhouette, but that does not hamper interior space.
Redesigned for the 2022 model year, and now boasting a new off-road oriented Trailsport trim, this new Passport has much more masculine styling on the outside vs the 2019-2021, with Pilot styling carrying over on the inside.
The Trailsport boasts new Firestone Destination tires riding on Trailsport-specific 18-inch wheels. Inside orange contrast stitching and all-weather rubber floor mats make this model ready to get dirty. Partnered with the excellent i-VTM4 AWD system, this Passport is more capable than its light modifications and crossover roots let on.
