Honda's go-anywhere SUV gets a new variant that's even more rugged

The 2024 Honda Passport will be available in a more robust TrailSport version. The coming model-year also sees a new Black Edition with a more aggressive design. For the rest, the SUV also benefits from some interior updates and upgrades.

For pricing, we'll have to wait and see - Honda Canada has made no announcement on the subject.

2024 Passport TrailSport

The TrailSport version includes an off-road suspension and General Grabber A/T Sport off-road tires (245/60R18). To ensure this variant meets the requirements of outdoors enthusiasts, Honda tested the model in harsh environments such as the Imperial Sand Dunes (or “Glamis”) in California and Dubai.

The i-VTM4 torque-vector all-wheel-drive system (standard on all Passport models) is also present, enhancing handling and traction management in all conditions.

Buyers will be able to choose for their TrailSport version the same exclusive Diffused Sky Blue colour previously seen in the 2023 Pilot TrailSport offering.
