Honda’s reborn Passport doesn’t get the love it deserves. It’s a two-row crossover but with three-row crossover space inside, designed to be rugged, and powered by Honda’s excellent and sturdy six-cylinder 3.5-liter engine. It now comes standard with Honda’s brilliant all-wheel-drive system. It’s likely the styling that holds it back; in a world of crossovers with funky styling, Honda showed restraint and, as a result, it doesn’t stand out and grab the eye. However, for those who look at the bigger picture, it’s a crossover that brilliantly fulfills many of the roles active families need. It’s spacious, it’s comfortable, the engine never struggles, and it can bump off the pavement to get to those camping, hiking, and fishing spots.
To improve that ability off-road, the TrailSport edition ups the Passport’s game. For 2024, the Passport TrailSport gets an upgrade – and we spent some quality time with it.
