Most significantly, SUV lovers will notice the revised grille and rugged bumpers that make for a more striking front end. The new trim, the Trailsport, gives the Passport a more off-road feel with    its sturdier tires plus a wider rear and front tracks that enhances  stability while driving on the pavements.

Other updates include a recent standard back-seat caution with distinct stitching on the EX-L model. Honda has also made it possible to equip the Passport with a 2022 available (HPD) Honda Performance Development appearance package.

2022 Honda Passport interior

The 2022 Passport cabin feels burly. Standard in all trims is the leather upholstery and automatic heated front seats. The 2022 upgrades enhance comfortability with the heated steering wheel and rear seats, rear sunshades, and ventilated front seats. The organization of the touchscreen controls is well done.

This two-row SUV can seat five passengers. The driver and front passenger will enjoy wide, comfortable, and supportive seats with ample leg, head, and elbow space. The rear seats are equally comfortable and roomy. You can sit three children or two adults on the rear seats with enough wiggle space to spare.

One standout feature of the 2022 Honda Passport is having the ultimate cargo space of any two-row SUV. The 41 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats can hold 15 carry-on suitcases, according to CarandDriver. When you fold that row, you open up 78 cubes of space, allowing you to double up on the number of bags.

2022 Honda Available Trims

The new 2022 Honda Passport features three trims, including EX-L, Elite, and the all-new Trailsport. All these trims have a 280hp V6 combined with a nine-speed automatic transmission. All these trims are available at Heather Cannon Honda. Let us look at each trim level.

EX-L Model

The EX-L is the entry-level trim of the 2022 Passport, and it comes standard with a 4WD drivetrain, while the AWD option fetches a few extra coins. Standard features in this model appear on the other trims, including 20-inch alloy wheels, an automatic tailgate, and hill-start assist. The taillight, headlights, and running lights are all LED, giving the exterior a beautiful finish, especially at night. This trim also includes adaptive cruise control for a safer and more comfortable driving experience.

Standout Features

• Impressive Driver Assist Features: forward automatic emergency braking system, forward collision alert, lane departure alert, lane retaining assist, a rearview camera, rear and front parking sensors, and rear cross-traffic alert. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the 2022 Honda Passport an overall safety rating of five out of five stars.

• Push-button ignition: It also includes remote start for better convenience when driving

Since the EX-L model is the standard trim, its price range is reasonable to most shoppers.

Trailsport Model

The Trailsport model entered the market as an upgrade for the 2022 Honda Passport. The EX-L trim improves by adding an all-wheel-drive drivetrain complete with Sand, Mud, and Snow driving forms. Additional features include a heated wiper park area, a 115-volt power outlet, and roof rails.

Standout Features

• Available AWD Option: Honda attributes this feature to its Intelligent Variable Torque Management, which discerns the torque needed at every wheel and distributes the engine power suitably.

• Navigation System: it is linked to the satellite and has a voice recognition feature plus HD digital traffic for easy cruising.

• Orange Contrast Stitching: the interior has orange contract stitching in the cabin. The headrests have embroidered TrailSport logos to give them a bolder look.

The Trailsport cost a bit more than the standard EX-L model with these additional features. See 2022 Honda Passport TrailSport models for sale .

Elite Model

The Elite is the range-topping model for the 2022 Honda Passport. This trim combines the features on the Trailsport with additional special features. The Elite model gains a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, ventilated front seats, and climate controls on the second row. The Elite trim earns a 10-speaker stereo and a Wi-Fi hot spot for its infotainment.

Standout Features

• Rain-sensing Wipers: There is a system that discerns wetness on the windshield and automatically employs the wipers. The speed of the wipers depends on the amount of rain.

• Hands-free Automatic Liftgate: This impressive feature makes it easier to open the liftgate when loading or unloading cargo. You only need to have the key fob on you and simply poke your foot underneath the rear bumper, and the liftgate opens automatically.

• Auto-dimming outboard mirrors: The mirrors use photosensors to perceive bright headlights coming from the rear and automatically dull their reflection. There are photosensors in the rearview mirror.

The range-topping trim is pricier than the EX-L and Trailsport model.
