With Toyota having unveiled the 2024 4Runner this week, it's easy to think the titans from Aichi have won the day yet again. But hot off the heels of their mortal rivals, it's now Honda's turn to take the spotlight with the 2024 Passport. The new Passport comes in hot in a market segment packed to the brim with quality offerings. Packing improved off-road performance and extra layers of refinement to what was already a tantalizing and tasty-looking option for anyone shopping for a mid-size SUV.
Indeed, if the 2024 4Runner's main goal was to improve its on-road performance with the new TRD Sport trim package, Honda's Passport is looking for an equal yet opposite response from the Passport's improved TrailSport trim package. With chunky General Grabber A/Tx tires (245/60R18) and an abundance of suspension travel measuring 8.1 inches, the 2024 Passport's i-VTM4 torque-vectoring, all-wheel-drive system need not stress itself much to get the lumbering SUV over rough terrain be it rocks, soft sand, mud, or moderately deep water.
Such features meld wonderfully with newly-added creature comforts like a new, much wider center console big enough to comfortably hold a large tablet PC and improved storage tray capacity for holding up to two smartphone-sized items on the long haul; there's a sense that practicality and ergonomic improvements were the first order of business for Honda with the 2024 Passport. Elsewhere in the lineup, the all-new Honda Passport Black Edition storms into the forefront, packing high-end paint color options like Platinum White, Sonic Gray, and Radiant Red. Add on painted 20-inch black wheels and contrasting red accents in the leather seats, interior lights, and throughout the interior, and you have to think it's one heck of a nice place to have a road trip.
"Honda has offered weekend adventurers durable and capable SUVs like Passport for more than two decades, and our new TrailSport models continue to advance the off-road capability engineered into our rugged light trucks,” explained Lance Woelfer, assistance vice president of Honda National Auto Sales for American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "Every new Honda TrailSport variant, including the enhanced 2024 Passport TrailSport, builds on our legacy of adventure and off-road performance while retaining excellent on-road dynamics."
Regardless of which trim package you prefer, all 2024 Passports will be manufactured at Honda's state-of-the-art domestic manufacturing facility located in Lincoln, Alabama. In an era where trends in the automotive sector often see manufacturing jobs leaving American soil, it's bound to make the decision to jump to team Honda all the more enticing for people who like keeping American jobs right where they belong. Be on the lookout for more pricing-related information for the 2024 Passport as it becomes available to us.
