Honda Passport 3rd Gen (2019-2025)

YF6 platform — Honda's two-row mid-size crossover, slotted between CR-V and Pilot. Based on 3rd-gen Pilot platform (Global Light Truck Platform shared with 2nd-gen Ridgeline) but with shortened overall length and same wheelbase — effectively a two-row Pilot. 3.5L SOHC J35Y6 V6 (280 hp / 262 lb-ft, direct injection), 9-speed ZF automatic. FWD or i-VTM4 AWD — i-VTM4 (Intelligent Variable Torque Management) is Honda's torque-vectoring AWD with active rear differential, with Intelligent Traction Management (Normal / Sand / Snow / Mud modes) on AWD-equipped cars. 5,000 lb towing with optional package. 7.5-inch ground clearance FWD, 8.1-inch AWD. 5-passenger seating (no third row option, distinguishing it from Pilot). TrailSport trim introduced 2022 — first-ever Honda TrailSport — initially cosmetic-focused (rugged styling, easier-to-clean leatherette, orange stitching, all-weather floor mats) on EX-L equipment level. 2024 TrailSport upgrade: trim-specific suspension retuning + standard all-terrain tires (genuine off-road improvement vs initial cosmetic-only TrailSport). 2022 mid-cycle facelift updated front-end design (similar styling to 2nd-gen Ridgeline post-facelift). Built at Lincoln Alabama assembly plant. Discontinued early 2025 to make way for the all-new 4th-gen Passport. The 3rd-gen Passport is currently the most-affordable 280-hp V6 mid-size SUV with available genuine off-road TrailSport option.
