If you’re trying to determine the right SUV for your adventures around the Vista, Escondido, and Carlsbad areas, there’s a lot to consider. But if you’re looking for something rugged, powerful, and sophisticated, you may want to turn your attention to the 2020 Honda Passport.
This SUV offers quite a lot, so to help you prepare, our team at Norm Reeves Honda Superstore Vista is here to guide you through the details. This 2020 Honda Passport review will give you the insight you need to decide!
Honda Passport Power & Performance
The Passport offers an impressive performance thanks to its 3.5L V6 engine. This engine comes mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission with shift-by-wire and paddle shifters. Due to this engine, the Honda Passport can boast up to 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque.
The Honda Passport remains as efficient as possible thanks to the Variable Cylinder Management™ system. This component will reduce the use of all six cylinders to just three during routine performance to help reduce fuel waste. Direct injection makes sure your engine is only getting the fuel it needs to perform.
Cabin Features & Technology
The cabin of the 2020 Passport includes a 5-inch LCD display that’s mounted into the dashboard. This screen lets you select your media options for the ride, which include the AM/FM radio, the USB/auxiliary inputs that support portable media players, or even your phone through the Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® system.
Upgrading the Passport will add the 8-inch touchscreen. This upgrade will also include Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. These features will sync your phone and your touchscreen, which will allow you direct access to your phone menu, so you can select your texts, contacts, apps, media, and more!
Honda Sensing® Driver-Assisting Features
One factor that will add extra safety, security, and confidence to your driving is the fact that the Honda Passport comes standard with Honda Sensing®. This suite of driver-assisting technology features works with exterior-mounted sensors that will measure the distance from the vehicle ahead while factoring in your rate of approach to warn you of impending collisions or lane departures.
These features include:
- Collision Mitigation Braking System™—detects when a collision is imminent and provides a warning and brake pressure to reduce the force of collision while giving you time to brake fully.
- Lane Keeping Assist System—senses when you’re veering out of your lane and delivers a warning while using brake pressure to help keep you from drifting further.
- Adaptive Cruise Control—this cruise control sets a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, and despite the flow of traffic, the system will adapt while keeping that safe distance.
