If you’re looking for other reasons to invest in a TrailSport over the base model, you won’t find many reasons inside the cabin. The price difference between entry-spec and TrailSport is substantial, and all that money has been invested in exterior bits and pieces, all-wheel drive, and a few minor bits and pieces to make it more rugged. In the cabin, the TrailSport gets orange stitching and matching ambient lighting, built-in navigation, a 115V power outlet, second-row sunshades, and illuminated cupholders. It’s worth noting that Honda does a great interior, and the fit and finish are solid.
As for infotainment, Honda’s offering does a fine job. The unit in the Passport consists of an eight-inch high-resolution touchscreen display with customizable feature settings, which could’ve benefited from some off-road-oriented tech – but that’s wishful thinking since the TrailSport isn’t truly off-road-oriented either.
Honda has also managed to make the Passport comfortable for all occupants, with sufficient leg and headroom all round. Without a third row, the Passport maximizes passenger and cargo volume, and the cavernous rear hatch and folding seats make it easy to carry large items. We managed to fit a mountain bike back there, although the wheel did have to come off to keep the back seats mud-free. Small items can be kept in numerous spacious cubbies, and there’s rear underfloor storage out of sight, too.
