#HONDA PASSPORT 2019 ANDROID#
Its dashboard shares with the Pilot its design and features such as an 8.0-inch touchscreen for infotainment with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility on most trims. The only thing separating the Passport from the Pilot from the driver’s seat is the lack of screaming kids in the third row. Most trims feature a power tailgate that opens to reveal 41 cubic feet of storage space with the rear seat up and nearly 78 cubes with the second row folded flat. At 190.5 inches from bumper to bumper, the Passport is generously sized.
The Passport may be shorter than the Pilot, but it’s only a little less spacious. With all-wheel drive, the Passport is moderately off-road capable, but it hardly rivals the Jeep Grand Cherokee or Toyota 4Runner when the going gets mucky. Standard 20-inch alloy wheels give it a marginally firmer ride than some Pilots with smaller wheels, but otherwise the two crossover SUVs deliver similarly good highway cruising ability and composed in-town handling. That the Passport drives a lot like the Pilot is no surprise. Fuel economy, at 21 to 22 mpg combined per Honda’s estimates, isn’t as impressive. The Passport is rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds with all-wheel drive an a trailering package. The optional all-wheel drive accompanied by a 0.6-inch higher ride height for at least a modicum of four-wheeling ability. (The 6-speed automatic that’s standard in the Pilot isn’t offered on the Passport.) Front-wheel drive is standard on most trims. The new model shares nothing but a name and five seatbelts with its predecessor.Įvery Passport-Sport, EX-L, Touring, or Elite-features a 3.5-liter V-6 engine rated at 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque that shuttles power to the wheels via a 9-speed automatic transmission. The Passport’s name may seem familiar because it is: For about a decade, Honda sold a rebadged Isuzu Rodeo as the Passport in the first SUV boom.
That score will likely rise when the Passport is fully crash tested. But it’s built on the same Alabama assembly line as the Pilot and thus shares most of that model’s virtues.įor buyers who don’t need a third row, the 2019 Passport makes a lot of sense. The new Passport has a different front bumper than the Pilot, black-painted alloy wheels, and a tail end not unlike the Ford Explorer. It didn’t take much effort for the automaker to create the 2019 Honda Passport: It’s a Pilot with 6.2 inches lopped off its rear end. The five-seat Passport neatly plugs a gap in Honda’s crossover SUV lineup with minimal fuss. With its 2019 Passport, Honda hasn’t invented anything new.
