In recent years, the "two fields" of Japanese cars in the domestic SUV market two-car strategy play very slippery, although Honda in 2020 has achieved a good overall sales, but the product sequence in the SUV market is not perfect, especially in the 7-seat SUV market lack of voice, and the next door Toyota will also increase investment in the future in the 7-seat model. In order to fill this gap, Honda may launch a Passport in North America to challenge Highlander's current dominance in the domestic 7-seat SUV market.
From the appearance, the overall shape of the Honda Passport is obviously different from the other SUV models of the Honda family at present, and the overall look is more tough. In particular, the wide encirclement below, and the blackened thick net shape, the overall degree of wildness is not inferior to the domestic net red god car tank 300.
The overall layout of the Honda Passport is similar to that of the current CR-V, including an embedded central control screen, the air conditioning outlet design on both sides, and the red start button and button gear. However, the four-panel multi-function steering wheel was the first time the Honda family had adopted it.
Coming to the side, the new Passport roof rack is very eye-catching. It is not just a decorative effect, as many models do, but it actually plays a role in many moments, improving the overall storage capacity. The new car's swooping posture is more eye-catching, and the focus is on improving the interior space and expanding the observation field when creating lines. A stiff waistline runs through the front and back, and the front and rear eyebrows are quietly adjacent, and the integrity is more outstanding. Its outer rearview mirror is relatively narrow and long, and the observation range is very generous, but it should be retracted in time after parking to avoid scratching.
In terms of configuration, the new Passport can only be described as decent. Many common elements of the Honda family are not absent, but at the moment it seems a bit too simplistic. The 8-inch touch screen size is average, although the clarity is very good, but it obviously cannot attract consumer attention like many new energy models. It is also equipped with air conditioning outlets on both sides, further reducing the overall ornamentality. Fortunately, its car machine system is more feature-rich, and it can support Apple Carplay and Android Auto mobile phone interconnection/mapping.
All 2022 Honda Passport models, including the TrailSport Edition, come standard with a 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6 engine with a maximum output of 280 horsepower and a maximum torque of 262 lb-ft (355 Nm). Match torque vectoring four-wheel drive system and nine-speed automatic transmission.
On the whole, the new generation of Honda PASSPORT as a new ceiling model in its own SUV, the market because it has been very strong instead of everyone's biggest expectations, but design, after all, Honda's bad design has been thrown out of the domestic production of 18,000 miles in the blink of an eye, the new PASSPORT fortunately also changed the design, not far behind, the design of the young sport with an online suspension screen, with the help of the ultimate power, not to mention just more than 250,000 start-ups, beating Highlander is easy to clap, It's like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.
