2022 Honda Passport AWD TrailSport

Honda redesigned their roomy two-row Passport for '22…giving it a more rugged look.

But that's not enough for some people, right? So then Honda came out with the TrailSport version. It's got a few more "chops" than the regular Passport.

Now, even the base EX-L Passport comes quite well-equipped…with sunroof, heated leather seating, sunroof, 20" alloys, a power tailgate, Apple and Android connectivity, parking sensors and most of today's expected warnings and alerts.

The TrailSport kicks it up a notch or two. You'll get AWD with snow, mud and sand settings, semi-off-road treads on your 18" alloys, a roof rack, decent ground clearance and special orange-accent trim.

All Passports come with Honda's 3.5 liter, 280 HP V-6 and a 9-speed automatic.

That combination is good for an EPA rating of 20 City and 25 Highway. Subtract just one MPG for their AWD system.

If you can find a base model Passport it'll run you a couple dollars less than 40 thousand.

Our test TrailSport had a window sticker that read $44,090 including transportation.

But if you want to opt for a little more luxury and a little less sport, you can get a Passport in "Elite" trim, with AWD, ventilated seating and premium audio for just a few thousand more.

Whichever Passport you choose, you'll have a roomy two-row SUV that should fit in most garages and parking spaces with no real effort.

To me, the Passport TrailSport just seems to cover a few more bases for not too much more money.
