5 reasons to buy the 2020 Honda Passport
1. Tons of space
The Honda Passport fits in between the smaller CR-V and the larger three-row Pilot, which means it's "just right" with regard to interior space. You'll get a massive 41.2 cu-ft behind the second row, which will manage everything from a long weekend to a cross-country trek. Fold the rear seats and you'll get an even more impressive 77.9 cu-ft of space. Add in clever storage compartments, plus generous amounts of legroom and headroom, and the 2020 Honda Passport may just jump up to the top of your shopping list.
2. Powerful standard engine
All models of the 2020 Passport are powered by a robust 3.5L V6 engine putting out 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. That is all routed through a nine-speed automatic transmission, and while front-wheel-drive is standard, all-wheel drive is available on all trim levels of the 2020 Passport. Weighing in at just over 4,200 pounds, that's a solid power-to-weight ratio to help with merging and passing out on the open road.
3. The latest tech
For the 2020 model year, the base model Passport Sport trim-level gets a five-inch screen that includes streaming audio, as well as an auxiliary jack and USB connection. All other trims get a larger eight-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, as well as Sirius XM® and HD radio. Check out the top-spec Elite and you'll get a wireless charging pad for compatible mobile devices. No matter your tech needs, the 2020 Passport has you covered!
4. A bit of luxury too
Like a lot of Hondas, your Passport can go from basic to quite well-appointed. While the base Sport trim is great, you can opt for the EX-L, where the "L" stands for "leather". In addition to the leather-trimmed steering seats and steering wheel, the front seats are also heated and power-adjustable. Plus, you get a moonroof! Ramp up to the Touring and Elite trims and you'll get even more luxury-focused goodies. The 2020 Passport truly has a little something for everyone.
5. Off-road fun
The base 2020 Passport is front-wheel drive, but every other trim level comes with available all-wheel drive. That means you can get a little further off the beaten path on your next excursion. The beefy styling will make sure that you don't look out of place out on the trail, even while you are comfortably inside your 2020 Honda Passport.
