Updates to the 2022 Honda Passport improve its rugged appeal among two-row midsize SUVs.

Based on the three-row Pilot, the 2022 Honda Passport gets a light restyle and is the first of the company's SUVs to wear the automaker's new TrailSport trim level. Intended to make the Passport more appealing to people who love adventuring in the great outdoors, the TrailSport treatment is cosmetic for now, but future Honda SUVs wearing the name will also bring added off-roading capabilities. In addition, revised wheel designs, fresh paint colors, and new safety features also debut for 2022.

If the 2022 Honda Passport's new styling looks familiar, your eyes do not deceive you. The Passport is now a dead-ringer for the Honda Ridgeline pickup truck forward of the doors and windshield. Except for a few minor differences, they're identical to one another.

How can this be? Well, the Passport and the Ridgeline share a vehicle platform that Honda also uses for the Odyssey minivan and the Pilot three-row SUV. In fact, the Passport is nothing more than a Pilot that is shorter in length, doesn't have a third-row seat, and features different styling.

As with the Ridgeline, Honda styled the Passport's new nose to give it extra attitude and a tougher look. Whether you think Honda's effort is successful is up to you.

Honda applies the updated design to all three trim levels available for 2022. They include the base EX-L, the TrailSport, and the upscale Elite, and all three have new wheel designs this year. TrailSport trim is new, reflecting a concept that Honda plans to expand to other SUVs in the years ahead.

With TrailSport trim, the goal is to make the Passport more appealing to people who use SUVs to explore off-road and delve deeper into nature. For now, it's more about looks than actual capability. Still, the Passport TrailSport is more capable off the pavement than you might expect, thanks to standard all-wheel drive, 8.1 inches of ground clearance, and traction management driving modes designed for use in snowy, muddy, and sandy conditions.

TrailSport is the mid-level version of the 2022 Passport. This year, the Passport EX-L is the new base model, and while that means the starting price is higher, the SUV also comes with plenty of standard equipment, including leather seats. The Elite trim remains at the top of the lineup, offering all of the bells and whistles.

Prices range from $37,870 to $45,430, not including a destination charge of $1,225. Our test vehicle had TrailSport trim and extra-cost Sonic Gray Pearl paint, bringing the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) to $44,095.

TrailSports have unique 18-inch wheels wrapped in all-season rubber that looks more like all-terrain tires. In addition, it has a purposeful-looking roof rack, simulated front and rear skid plates on the bumpers, and other minor design modifications that make it look more like an SUV and less like a kid-hauling, grocery-getting crossover.

Inside, the Passport boasts one of the largest interiors in the two-row midsize SUV segment. Most interior materials reflect quality, and the Passport is assembled with care. TrailSport trim adds orange contrast stitching, amber ambient lighting, embroidered emblems on the front seat headrests, and rubber all-season floor mats.

Great vehicle. Love everything except fuel economy. Had a Traverse that consistently got 23 mpg, but the Passport is getting closer to 20 mpg. That being said, I’d still purchase the Passport. Jan 25, 2024
