Whether you’re already familiar with the Honda Passport or are completely new to this midsize SUV, Pohanka Honda in Capitol Heights is confident you’ll want to hear about what the 2021 iteration has to offer. So, after reading this preview, feel free to contact us to hear additional details about its expected features and arrival date. Rest assured, we can’t wait for this model to reach our showroom floor!
Performance
Given its rugged, off-road capabilities, we couldn’t think of a better way to kick things off than by exploring how the 2021 Passport performs. Like its previous incarnations, it boasts a muscular 3.5L V6 engine at its heart, which is ready and raring to unleash 280-hp and 262 lb.-ft. of torque when you give the command. With the help of the responsive 9-speed automatic transmission, you’ll enjoy virtually instant access to this hefty brawn for effortless acceleration. Of course, if you’re planning on taking the adventure off the beaten path, then you certainly won’t want to miss out on the available Intelligent Variable Torque Management™ AWD System, as this drivetrain improves your handling and traction with Snow, Sand, and Mud modes.
Comfort & Space
When we direct our focus to the cabin, the 2021 Honda Passport continues to shine. Even when this SUV has five passengers on board, it still supplies plenty of space in back for hiking gear and sports equipment, courtesy of the 50.5 cubic ft. of storage1 behind the second row. Not to mention, an underfloor compartment comes standard to help you stow smaller items safely out of sight. When it comes to the rest of the interior, the Passport is just as accommodating, offering a wide variety of upgrades including heated and ventilated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and even illuminated beverage holders. Not even long hours on I-495 can spoil the fun, thanks in part to the 10-way power driver’s seat that’s standard on the EX, EX-L, and Touring models.
Technology
In addition to its generous assortment of cabin amenities, the Honda Passport also goes the extra mile regarding the technology at your disposal. Unlike previous iterations, the 2021 model is equipped with standard Apple CarPlay®2 and Android Auto™3 on all trims, so you won’t have to upgrade just to sync your phone. Moreover, these features are accessible via a standard 8-inch touchscreen, making it a breeze to tap into your contact book, playlists, and other apps. On top of these infotainment features, the Passport also includes several other helpful tech tools, like two standard 12-volt power outlets, a 2.5-amp USB charging port, and even a wireless charging pad4.
There’s still so much more for you to learn about this SUV than what this 2021 Honda Passport first look near Washington, DC, could cover, so contact Pohanka Honda in Capitol Heights for the entire story. Or, visit the dealership to chat with us in person!
