On December 20, 2021, Honda announced that it will begin mass production of the new 2022 Honda Passport and the first Passport TrailSport model at its Alabama Automobile Manufacturing Plant (AAP) in the United States, which is currently only launched for the U.S. market. The appearance is tougher, and it looks very similar to the feel of a hard-core off-road vehicle. And the new TrailSport off-road version, an SUV with off-road capability, meets the tastes of current young consumers.
Honda officially released a new announcement. The 2022 Honda Passport (picture) and Passport TrailSport have officially entered mass production. The production site is located at the Honda Alabama Automobile Plant in Lincoln, Alabama, USA. The official pricing for the 2022 Honda Passport starts at US$37,870, and the Passport TrailSport off-road version starts at a higher price, priced at US$42,470. Although the prices of the two cars are different, the engines are both 3.5 V6 engines with a maximum power of 280 horsepower and a torque of 355 Nm.
I have to say that it is more beautiful, especially the high-end TrailSport off-road version. Seats with contrasting orange stitching, four-season rubber feet, amber ambient lighting and black chrome instrument panel decoration are nothing but higher ground clearance, torque vectoring four-wheel drive system, and front windshield. Glass wiper heating function and electronic foldable side-view mirror. In the future, it will have better off-road tires and adjustable suspension.
By checking with the appearance of the standard car series, it can be found that the Passport TrailSport front design scheme has been greatly changed. At first, the protective cover of the water storage tank was changed from the original ladder-shaped to an octagonal design, with a larger honeycomb-shaped perforation, and a TrailSport factory nameplate was added to one of the compartments; but in order to better match the different appearance The protective cover of the water storage tank is adjusted in the appearance of the headlight group. At the same time, the gray-black trim design on the front of the engine cover is also changed in coordination with each other.
In addition, the design of the front and lower bumper has also been changed. Apart from the difference in the front and lower decorative panels, the upper and lower sides are changed to an L-shaped product design, so of course the fog lamps are also adjusted at the same time. For the part of the bead group, Passport TrailSport uses 245/60 R18 full terrain tires, with exclusive style aluminum rim group, and the front/rear wheelbase is expanded by 10 mm to improve the reliability of the car.
In the development of the rear tail, the key changes of Passport TrailSport depend on the change of the rear lower bumper, as well as the rear fog lamp/reversing lamp, exhaust pipe tail pipe, and rear lower trim. The same transformation. The car’s transmission system is equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 module, which can derive 280 horsepower and 355N.m torque, and a 9-speed transmission is selected. In addition, the suspension system has also been strengthened to a certain extent. In conjunction with the i-VTM4 all-day four-wheel transmission, it has the technology of independent manipulation of the rear tire torque, and can also improve the maneuverability of non-paved road turning.
At the interior level, there is no big change from the standard configuration, including maintaining the 8-inch middle touch screen to aid the functions of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The key difference lies in the application of orange car stitching and the car headrest. TrailSport embroidered pattern, and equipped with brown atmosphere light. And HONDA Senesing is also standard equipment for the car. Passport TrailSport is expected to be officially launched in winter abroad
According to foreign media reports, Guangzhou Honda Ridgeline is likely to become the next car model with TrailSport car series. In the future, there will also be opportunities to expand to Pilot and CR-V. It will be compatible with Ford's Timberline car series or Toyota's TRD. Pro cars come to the market to compete.
