One criticism that has at all times been leveled on the Passport is its comparatively bland styling and Honda has addressed this with the 2022 mannequin by giving it a facelift. It has been restyled from the A-pillar ahead with new bumpers, a brand new grille, extra aggressive headlights, an influence bulge within the hood, and bigger exhaust finishers. There are new wheel types too, in addition to a brand new TrailSport trim that replaces the Touring trim on which it’s based mostly and accentuates the SUV’s off-road means. Honda’s TrailSport comes with normal AWD, wider tracks for higher stability, model-specific 18-inch wheels and tires, and orange inside stitching – for now. Within the upcoming mannequin years, TrailSport’s skills can be expanded with extra off-road-capable suspension and off-road tires. For now, it is principally an look package deal.
One other vital change is that the Sport and Touring trims are dropped for 2022, leaving solely the EX-L, TrailSport, and Elite. The EX-L now has perforated leather-based seats with distinction stitching, there are new colours within the gauge cluster, and all trims get a rear-seat reminder system as normal. Lastly, the HDP (Honda Efficiency Improvement) look package deal that’s already out there on the Ridgeline truck can now be specified for the Passport as effectively and comes with black fender flares, HDP graphics, and a model-specific grille and wheels.
