Technology Rules in the Honda Passport
Many people don't think of ranking technology at the top of their list of must-haves when looking for a new car. But today's vehicles are full of sophisticated technology that provides a world of convenience. The Honda Passport is no exception. Loaded with the latest in automotive technology, the Passport keeps you safe and makes sure you stay connected while you're out on the road. For drivers with a penchant for exploring unknown places, these technologies should rank high on the list.
Safety First
Every Honda Passport comes with Honda Sensing® technology, an intelligent suite of driver assist and safety features that help keep you alert on the road and aware of your surroundings. Honda Sensing includes such advanced technology as Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM), which helps keep you in your lane by notifying you if you cross a line without signaling. It can also provide steering assistance to get you centered in your lane again or provide braking assistance to help prevent you from leaving the road entirely.
Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) is also part of the Honda Sensing suite of driver assist features. This feature subtly applies steering assistance to help keep you centered in your lane. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) prevents you from following another vehicle too closely by maintaining a set distance between your Honda Passport and the car in front of you. And the Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTMÂ (CMBSTM) automatically applies the brakes if it detects that a front-end collision is imminent. All these safety features work together to ensure your safe arrival at your destination.
Staying Connected
The Honda Passport also has a substantial amount of technology that helps ensure that you stay connected with loved ones and the rest of the world while out on an adventure. The Passport easily pairs with any smartphone, allowing you to make and receive phone calls safely and access all your music and audio files conveniently. Listen to your favorite playlist or audiobook during your travels without fear of running down your phone battery. The Honda Passport is also available with a wireless charging pad. Just lay your smartphone on the charging pad for a quick boost while you're running errands or picking up the kids.
If you're traveling with others - especially younger children - the wireless hotspot feature is great to have. Turn your Honda Passport into a rolling Wi-Fi zone, and let the kids watch movies during the ride. Second row USB ports keep everyone's devices charged up. You can even plug in a small appliance with the standard 115-volt outlet. These days, being in the car doesn't mean you have to go completely unplugged!
Easy Ride
The Honda Passport is loaded with modern technology that makes life on the road easier. It's easier to listen to your favorite tunes, easier to drive with driver assist features, and easier to entertain the little ones - or anyone else. Add sophisticated technology to your list of must-haves when looking for a new vehicle. The Honda Passport will be at the top of your vehicle options.Â
Honda Passport - Perfect for Millennials on the Go Â
The Honda Passport is Honda's play to fit another vehicle into its lineup - a midsize SUV that fits between the CR-V and the family-sized Pilot. So far, customer feedback says that they've done a great job of it. The Honda Passport is the perfect vehicle for millennials on the move - those who like biking, hiking, and participating in outdoor activities that include a lot of gear.
Not Your Typical Millennial Vehicle
While the Honda Passport may be slightly larger and less sporty-looking than some millennials would care for, its practicality is not to be denied. Athletic enough to handle dirt roads (especially with available all-wheel drive) and with plenty of cargo space for all your adventure equipment, the Honda Passport makes a weekend getaway simple. Load up the back and you're off!
Agile on the Road
The Honda Passport comes standard with a powerful V6 engine that generates enough horsepower to pull 5,000 pounds. In spite of that, it still delivers a fun ride with peppy acceleration that gets you around slower drivers and up mountain roads with a minimum of effort. While the Passport isn't designed for serious off-roading, it holds its own on rough roads, especially when outfitted with available torque-vectoring all-wheel drive. The added ground clearance that comes with AWD is also beneficial when traveling over rocky terrain. You can also pick the driving mode that suits your trip the best. Choose from Normal, Sand, Snow, or Mud. Wherever you're headed, the Honda Passport makes sure you get there.
Room for All Your Stuff
Cargo capacity is one of the areas where the Honda Passport excels. Roomy enough to pack in a full-sized bicycle, the Passport has plenty of room for other items, too. Split 60/40 folding rear seats expand the already sizeable cargo space to massive proportions. Load it up with a tent, sleeping bag, camp stove, coffee pot, and anything else you need for your excursion; it'll all fit. The Passport also has multiple storage compartments so you can stow smaller items out of sight. Hide a tablet computer in the center console; the included USB port helps you keep it charged on the road. In the cargo space behind the rear seats, you'll find a hidden storage compartment that's perfect for stashing bike helmets, tool kits, or anything else you want to keep out of sight.
Bring a Friend...or Two!
The Honda Passport comfortably seats five adults, so it's okay if you feel like inviting a friend or two along for the ride. Even with someone in the backseat, you'll have plenty of room for all your supplies.
Give It a Spin
An SUV may not be the first vehicle most millennials think of when planning a new car purchase, but the Honda Passport is a great option for those who like to get out and explore the world. Now you just have to figure out where you want to go!
