Have a Closer Look at the 2023 Honda Passport

The Honda Passport is a two-row mid-size SUV based on the larger Honda Pilot model. Its impressive features include a powerful V6 engine, the latest tech, and advanced driver assistance systems. After a complete facelift in the 2022 model year, Honda carries over similar trim levels and features for the 2023 model. However, the EX-L model will now have a standard all-wheel-drive system to give it an edge over rival models. The new Honda Passport is suitable if you want a spacious family SUV with impeccable on-road and off-road driving manners.

Trim Levels

The 2023 Honda Passport has a similar list of trim levels as the outgoing model. They include:

EX-L

EX-L models have standard all-wheel-drive, 20-inch alloy wheels, dual exhaust outlets, and a power tailgate. The interior has comfort-enhancing equipment like leather-trimmed seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated seats, and a power moonroof.

TrailSport

The TrailSport trim has a rugged exterior comprising 18-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, dual exhaust finishers, and LED fog lights. The off-road-oriented model has a seven-speaker audio system, power front seats, leather-trimmed seats with orange stitching, under-floor storage, and split-folding rear seats. The TrailSport model has an eight-inch touchscreen display, Bluetooth streaming, second-row USB ports, and a Satellite-linked navigation system for seamless connectivity on off-road trips.

Elite

The Elite model has luxurious amenities like a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, a 10-speaker audio system, and heated and ventilated front seats. Moreover, the range-topping trim has 20-inch alloy wheels, a Wi-Fi hotspot, parking sensors, and a road departure mitigation system.

Interior Features

The build quality in the 2023 Honda Passport ensures you experience refinement even in the entry-level EX-L model. All 2023 models have a well-appointed interior featuring leather seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel to keep you comfortable on your family trips. Although it is based on the three-row Honda Pilot, the Honda Passport is a two-row model with plenty of legroom and storage space. With its split-folding second-row seats, you will easily adjust storage space to accommodate bulky cargo or camping equipment.

Performance Features

All three trim levels of the 2023 Honda Passport have a 3.5-liter V6 engine under their hood. This 280-horsepower power plant connects to a nine-speed automatic transmission and sends power to an all-wheel-drive system. Unlike the typical all-wheel drive system, Honda's all-wheel drive has a torque-vectoring system that minimizes slippage when driving on slippery paths in Columbus. The new model also has an 8.1-inch ground clearance and several driving modes to help adjust throttle response depending on the prevailing conditions. The punchy V6 engine results in a 5,000-pound towing capacity, enough to pull a camper as you head for a weekend getaway in [GEO].

Technology

The 2023 Honda Passport has a modern infotainment system comprising an eight-inch touchscreen supporting wireless integration. In addition, it has a wireless phone charger, a Wi-Fi hotspot, a Honda satellite-linked navigation system, and a seven or 10-speaker audio system.

Safety Features

The 2023 Honda Passport has a Honda sensing suite of driver assistance features to make driving easier and safer. When activated, this suite uses sensors and radars to alert you of possible collisions as you drive in busy streets or cruise on the highway. You will confidently approach new destinations around [GEO] due to the road departure mitigation system, lane-keeping assist, and collision mitigation system.
