The Updates on the New 2022 Honda Passport
Honda gives the new 2022 Passport some updates on its look, counting on its
more AWD nature. 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 specs
The Passport has a 3.5-liter V6 engine generating 280 hp and 262
pounds-foot of torque combined with a nine-speed automatic transmission and
the optional all-wheel-drive or standard front-wheel-drive. The drivetrains
make for a strong and smooth engine.
The engine acceleration of the Passport is impressively the strongest in
the category. Publications such as CarandDriver posted the tested
Passport’s acceleration as an outstanding
0-60 mph in 6.0 seconds. You will enjoy a comfortable ride on most terrains and pleasingly
forthright yet graceful steering with the 2022 Honda Passport.
Fuel economy ratings for the 2022 Honda Passport are similar to the earlier
2021 model. The ratings are 20 mpg in the city and 22mpg on the highway,
subject to the trim level and drivetrain.
2022 Honda Passport Towing Capacity
This SUV puffs 7.5 inches off-ground margin for the standard 4WD and 8.1
inches for the AWD and can haul up to 3000 pounds; the Trailsport trim
boosts that to 5000 pounds.
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.

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.
