Performance and Capability Under the hood, the 2023 Passport TrailSport is powered by Honda's proven 3.5-litre i-VTEC V6 engine, producing 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque.

The 8-inch Display Audio touchscreen integrates Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth connectivity, while the 10-speaker premium audio system delivers crisp sound for every journey. Ample cargo space---over 1,430 litres behind the second row and more than 2,850 litres with the rear seats folded---means there's plenty of room for camping gear, bikes, or beach equipment.
