2019 Honda Passport Touring

Vehicle Details
2019 Honda Passport Touring – Adventure Didn't Call. It Demanded.
When did Honda decide minivan reliability needed trail-ready attitude? The 2019 Honda Passport Touring answers with muscular authority—a 3.5-liter V6 pumping 280 horsepower through Honda's intelligent i-VTM4 all-wheel-drive system, 8.1 inches of ground clearance conquering terrain softer crossovers only photograph, genuine five-passenger focus maximizing cargo capacity to 77.9 cubic feet (hello, Pilot owners jealously eyeing your space), and legendary Honda reliability transforming 200,000+ miles into expected lifespan. This isn't a softened crossover wearing adventure cosplay; it's 4,200 pounds of capable engineering proving your camping gear, kayaks, mountain bikes, and weekend warriors deserve transportation matching their ambition—and Monday's commute deserves something more interesting than beige appliances.

Award-Winning Recognition: The Passport earned Cars.com "Best of 2019," dominated MotorTrend's SUV of the Year considerations, and captured Kelley Blue Book's "Best Buy Award." Car and Driver praised its "genuinely capable off-road performance and spacious practicality," while Edmunds celebrated "perfect balance between adventure capability and daily refinement." Owners rave about "Honda reliability with actual capability," "best road trip vehicle ever," and "handles trails my CR-V never attempted." This is validation from adventurers who actually USE their vehicles rather than merely posing in Whole Foods parking lots.

The aggressive exterior announces rugged intentions—bold upright grille flanked by LED headlights creates commanding presence, black wheel arches suggest off-pavement confidence, integrated roof rails promise gear-hauling versatility, and 20-inch machined alloy wheels balance style with capability. The Passport sits taller, appears wider, and projects more attitude than the civilized CR-V—this is purpose-driven design for drivers choosing national parks over country clubs.

V6 Authority: Fire the 3.5-liter engine and hear Honda's naturally aspirated masterpiece—280 horsepower, 262 lb-ft of torque, zero turbo complexity, and proven reliability spanning decades. The nine-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly during commutes yet holds gears aggressively when you attack mountain passes. Zero-to-60 arrives in 6.1 seconds—genuinely quick for a mid-size SUV, confident highway passing, and towing capacity reaching 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. Fuel economy delivers 20 city/25 highway/22 combined—respectable considering capability and power.

i-VTM4 Intelligence: Honda's Intelligent Variable Torque Management all-wheel-drive system doesn't just react to slippage; it anticipates it. Front-wheel drive during normal conditions maximizes efficiency, automatic power transfer rearward when sensors detect reduced traction, and available Snow/Mud/Sand modes optimize responses for conditions. The Intelligent Traction Management system includes Normal, Snow, Mud, and Sand settings—select your terrain and watch the Passport adapt throttle response, transmission behavior, and torque distribution accordingly. This isn't Wrangler rock-crawling capability; it's intelligent adventure readiness perfect for fire roads, snowy driveways, muddy campsites, and sandy beaches.

Five-Passenger Focus: Here's where Honda made brilliant decisions—eliminating the Pilot's third row creates massive cargo advantages. Behind the second row sits 41.2 cubic feet; fold those seats and unlock 77.9 cubic feet of gear-swallowing capacity. That's more than many "larger" three-row SUVs. The wide liftgate opening, low load floor, and underfloor storage compartment maximize utility. Pack camping equipment, coolers, fishing gear, bikes (inside, not just racked), weekend luggage for five adults, or Home Depot hauls—the Passport swallows cargo competitors can't accommodate.

Touring Luxury: The cabin balances rugged capability with premium comfort—heated and ventilated leather front seats pamper during long hauls, heated rear seats extend luxury rearward, tri-zone automatic climate control maintains individual preferences, and the panoramic sunroof bathes occupants in natural light. The leather-wrapped steering wheel feels substantial, soft-touch materials span the dashboard, and thoughtful storage solutions include a massive center console, door pockets, and cupholders everywhere. This is adventure-ready refinement—comfortable enough for daily commutes, capable enough for weekend explorations.

Technology Integration: The 8-inch Display Audio touchscreen integrates seamlessly—Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connect smartphones instantly, navigation guides clearly, and the premium audio system delivers crisp sound through multiple speakers. Wireless charging keeps devices powered. USB ports throughout ensure everyone stays connected. The digital driver information display provides configurable data clearly.

Honda Sensing® Suite: Every Passport includes Honda's comprehensive safety technology—Collision Mitigation Braking System monitors traffic initiating emergency braking when threats emerge, Road Departure Mitigation steers you back into lanes, Adaptive Cruise Control maintains following distances automatically through stop-and-go traffic, Lane Keeping Assist provides gentle corrections, and Blind Spot Information with Cross Traffic Monitor protects lane changes. These aren't luxury options inflating prices—they're standard safety demonstrating Honda's priorities.
