Honda introduced its entry into the off-road-ready market a few years ago. In the time the Honda Passport has been available at GP Honda, customers have marveled at its ability to handle almost any driving conditions with the utmost confidence. For the current model year, the 2023 Honda Passport arrives with its strong reputation untarnished and several interesting features to attract the attention of GP Honda customers. Follow along with us as we take a closer look at this incredible SUV.
Exterior Design & Features
Ready For Anything
The off-road-ready TrailSport version of the 2023 Honda Passport let’s people know it’s something different right away. Some of its unique features include:
- Honeycomb grille
- Large dual exhaust outlets
- 18-inch aluminum wheels
- All-season floor mats
- Stitched TrailSport logo
Classic Colour Options
We know that the 2023 Honda Passport can meet owners’ expectations in terms of performance, but it will also do well matching a owners’ style. The 2023 Honda Passport is available in five classic colour options, including:
- Lunar Silver Metallic
- Crystal Black Pearl
- Platinum White Pearl
- Radiant Red Metallic II
- Sonic Grey Pearl
Experience Everything
The 2023 Honda Passport is built to take people deep into nature. It would be a shame if they couldn’t experience it all. A one-touch power moonroof will let the passengers in the 2023 Passport feel the rustic air and take in more nature.
Interior Design & Features
Comfortable Passenger Dimensions
If an SUV has the best off-road performance in the world, it doesn’t matter much if it isn’t comfortable for passengers. The 2023 Honda Passport can hold up to five passengers comfortably with some of the most generous dimensions in its class.
Keep It Warm
We all have to deal with wild temperature swings over the course of the year. When the temperature drops, drivers can keep their hands warm on a heated steering wheel. Heated seats are available in the front and rear seats as well.
Keep It Cool
When we find ourselves in the depth of summer, the ventilated seats will keep passengers cool by circulating air through the perforated leather upholstery material. Tri-zone automatic climate control with a cabin air filter is standard equipment.
Performance & Efficiency
Power Plant Performance
Honda has made a single engine platform available for every 2023 Honda Passport coming to the GP Honda showroom. A naturally aspirated 3.5-litre, V-6 engine will be under the hood and attached to a nine-speed automatic transmission. It will make 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque.
Standard AWD
In keeping with the idea that Honda has gone all the way in equipping the 2023 Passport, every available trim will be outfitted with the automaker’s intelligent all-wheel drive system. Additionally, all trims come with the smart traction management system.
Towing Capacity
Just in case there isn’t enough room inside of the 2023 Honda Passport, the SUV is capable of pulling quite a bit of weight for its class. On the low end, the 2023 Passport can pull up to 1,588 kg and as much as 2,268 when it’s properly equipped.
Technology
Wireless Connectivity
Owners of the 2023 Passport can stay connected to the world almost anywhere, thanks to the Wi-Fi hotspot available with the top-end Touring trim. Wi-Fi tethering is available on all trims. Be sure to ask a GP Honda product expert how it works.
Sound Check
GP Honda customers will have access to a pair of audio systems, depending on which 2023 Passport trim they take home. Sport and TrailSport models use a 215-watt system with seven speakers and the Touring trim employs a 550-watt system with 10 speakers.
Outside Device Integration
Every 2023 Passport is equipped with access to the Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ suites of applications. This will make it easier, and safer, to use the most popular features of an owner’s smartphone while on the road.
Safety
Active Safety Technology
Nobody needs to worry about being injured in a car accident if a collision never occurs. That’s exactly the mission of the Honda Sensing™ suite of active safety technology. The various systems that work together to protect the Passport’s passengers include:
- Forward Collision Warning
- Collision Mitigation Braking
- Lane Departure Warning
- Road Departure Mitigation
- Lane Keeping Assist
- Adaptive Cruise Control
Rear Seat Reminders
If there are rear passengers riding along in the 2023 Honda Passport, an alert will sound if they don’t fasten their seat belts. Additionally, the rear seat reminder will also help drivers remember to check the back seat before walking away from their SUV.
HondaLink App
The HondaLink™ application allows owners to interact with their 2023 Passport, even when they’re away from the vehicle. Some of the key features of the HondaLink™ app include:
- Remote Engine Start
- Geofence Alert
- Find My Car
- Auto Collision Notification
- Stolen Vehicle Locator
- Remote Door Lock/Unlock
