It felt instantly familiar the two vehicles have indiscernible dashboards, with the same instrument panels, the same multimedia screens, the same climate controls … you get the picture. The Pilot influence is stronger on the inside. Like the Ridgeline, however, the FWD Passport has less ground clearance than the AWD version- 7.8 inches and 8.4 inches, respectively, compared with the Ridgeline’s 7.28 and 7.87 inches. The Passport won’t offer the same capability as body-on-frame competitors like the Toyota 4Runner, but it does have more ground clearance than the Pilot’s 7.3 inches. 2019 Honda Passport | photo by Brian Wong Seventy percent of available torque can be sent to the rear wheels, and 100 percent of that torque can be moved to the left or right rear wheel depending on which wheel has traction. In those cars, it’s very good on loose surfaces like gravel and dirt, quickly and effectively transferring torque to the wheels with grip.

Debuting at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show, the all-new 2019 Honda Passport (thankfully) doesn’t have any Isuzu influence in it. Shoppers with long memories will remember Honda sold a Passport SUV until 2002, but that was a rebadged Isuzu Rodeo.
