00:00The Honda Passport is back, and it's not here to play games.
00:10This isn't your average family SUV.
00:12This is a serious off-road contender, ready to tackle any terrain.
00:17Honda has completely reimagined the Passport.
00:19Gone are the soft lines and suburban aspirations.
00:22In their place, we have a rugged, muscular design that's reminiscent of classic off-roaders.
00:28The Passport's bold new look is matched by its impressive off-road hardware.
00:32A lifted suspension, increased ground clearance, and advanced traction control systems should
00:37give it the capability necessary to conquer rough trails.
00:41But the Passport isn't just about brute force.
00:43Inside, you'll find a refined and tech-savvy cabin.
00:4712.3-inch touchscreen and a 10.2-inch instrument display add some much-needed modernity.
00:53A premium sound system and comfortable seating should make it a cozy space for commuting
00:57to work or exploring the wilderness.
01:00Under the hood, the Passport is powered by a potent 3.5-liter V6 engine, shared with
01:05the Pilot, that delivers plenty of power and torque.
01:08Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, it is expected to provide smooth and brisk
01:12acceleration.
01:13The Passport's off-road prowess is further enhanced by its Trailsport trims.
01:18These models come standard with features like all-terrain tires, gid plates, and a locking
01:22rear differential.
01:23They also offer a variety of drive modes, including trail, snow, and sand, to optimize
01:27performance in different conditions.
01:30The Trailsport Elite trim adds perforated leather seats with orange piping and cooling
01:34capability, a heated steering wheel, rear HVAC controls, ambient lighting, and a 12-speaker
01:40Bose sound system.
01:42But the Passport isn't just about the thrill of the off-road.
01:45It's also a practical and versatile vehicle.
01:48With ample cargo space and a suspension tuned for a comfortable ride, it should be perfect
01:53for everyday use.
01:54The road-focused Passport RTL skips out on the Trailsport's all-terrain tires and skid
02:00plates for maximum daily drivability.
02:03The 2026 Passport is a bold play from Honda, targeting the Toyota 4Runner, Jeep Wrangler,
02:09Ford Bronco, and Subaru Outback.
02:12It's a rugged, capable, and stylish vehicle that's ready to take on any adventure.
