Passport
There comes a point in everyone’s life when you just want to
escape. To say goodbye to your daily routine and go someplace new.
To fınd that lost sense of adventure. For you, that time is now.
That’s why you’re drawn to the Honda
Passport. A powerful sport-utility
vehicle whose very name says
escape, travel and, of
course, adventure. It’s
tough enough to take
you just about anywhere
you want to go. And,
it’s designed not only
to be powerful but to
be comfortable. So sit
back, relax and turn
the page. It’s time to
plan your getaway.
Over the river and through the woods,
go where you want to go.

passing or merging with traffic.
Versatile, capable and tough, the Passport has been engineered from the ground up
for an active lifestyle. Its 205-hp, 3.2 liter, 24-valve engine produces 214 lb.-ft. of torque
and also runs so clean that the Passport qualifıes as a Low-Emission Vehicle (LEV).
Boats, travel trailer, motorcycles ...With
its standard 3,500 lbs. towing capacity
(4,500 maximum†), the Passport is up to
the job of towing your favorite toys.
Drive-by-wire throttle control and a 32-bit-processor engine-management system optimize
response and performance. Passport’s available 4-speed automatic transmission features a
lockup torque converter and overdrive, which makes highway cruising more economical.
The transmission’s “Winter” setting helps reduce wheel spin when starting from a stop on
snow or ice. And the “Power” setting lets the transmission downshift sooner and upshift
later, for faster acceleration. If the road gets a little “challenging,” the added capabilities
of a limited-slip differential and high- and low-range shift-on-the-fly 4-wheel drive
(4WD LX, EX) give you optimal traction in almost any condition. Front double wishbone and
rear coil-spring suspension give it a smooth, controlled ride regardless of road conditions,
and variable-assist power rack-and-pinion steering takes the effort out of maneuvering and
parking. Remember: Honda asks you to respect the environment, so that others may enjoy
it, too. Tread Lightly!® on public and private land.
