From the 10.2-inch full digital driver instrumentation display to the 12.3-inch center touchscreen featuring Google built-in, every inch of the cabin is designed for convenience and connectivity.
The interior features have been upgraded significantly, including body-stabilizing power-adjustable heated front seats that will keep you comfortable even during long-haul adventures. With numerous charging stations and cleverly designed storage compartments, the Passport proves it’s packed with practicality as well.
Tailored for Adventure
Customization lovers rejoice! Honda has introduced the most extensive line of Genuine Honda Accessories to date, allowing you to tailor your Passport for any adventure. Robust rock sliders, a cargo roof platform, and a stowable picnic table that transforms into a sturdy outdoor table are just a few of the incredible options available.

Designed for Adventure and Beyond
Not only has Honda reimagined the Passport in terms of capability, but it has also given it a bold aesthetic that screams adventure. The new “Born Wild” design concept gives the Passport a strong, brawny look with an aggressive front end and enhanced ground clearance, making it visually appealing while assuring maximum functionality on rugged terrains.
The addition of seven selectable drive modes allows drivers to switch between Normal, Sport, Econ, Snow, Sand, Tow, and Trail modes with ease, optimizing performance for various driving conditions.

Set Yourself Up for Safe Winter Driving
Set yourself up for safe winter driving with these essential tips: switch to winter tires, check air pressure, protect off-season wheels, and maintain tread depth. Learn how to prepare your car for snow and ice so you can drive with confidence all season.

Set Yourself Up for Safe Winter Driving
(Family Features) Waiting for the first snow or ice storm to hit puts you and your tires behind the curve when it comes time to get behind the wheel. Preparing your vehicle and brushing up on smart winter driving tips helps ensure you arrive at your destination safely, no matter the weather. Consider Winter Tires When temperatures drop below 45 F, winter tires maintain flexibility and road grip, contrary to all-season tires that don’t perform as well in these conditions. Winter tires are designed for better traction and stopping power in ice, slush and snow. Change Out Seasonal Wheels and Rims Swapping summer or all-season tires for winter ones will ensure your vehicle has the best traction possible, but that’s just part of the story. Slippery, wet and icy roads mean vehicles tend to skid and lose control, striking curbs and other objects that scratch, dent and scuff. Snow and winter wheels are a smart way to protect summer rims from snow, ice and road-clearing chemicals like salt. Protect Offseason Tires It’s important to protect your offseason tires from below freezing temperatures, sunlight, moisture and other harsh weather conditions. Consider Discount Tire’s Tire Hotel service, available at select locations, where stores help preserve the condition of tires, handling tire rotations, inspections and maintenance when it’s time to change the winter tires back. Maintain Target Air Pressure The impact changing temperatures have on your tire pressure can create numerous issues, including poor handling, worse gas mileage, excessive wear and overloading. Prevent problems by checking your air pressure at least once a month when your tires are cool and before any long trip. For every 10 F in ambient temperature change, tire air pressure changes 1 PSI (pound per square inch). That means you need to check your tires more frequently as temperatures fluctuate and settle into lower winter levels. Check Tread Depth Regularly Your vehicle’s tread depth plays a vital role in traction, which can affect your safety while driving in winter conditions. To ensure you have ample tread, stick a penny upside-down in a tread groove. It’s time to replace if Lincoln’s head is visible. You can also visit your local Discount Tire store for a free tire safety check. Practice Good Tire Maintenance Taking care of your tires ensures you get the longest life and best wear. Most experts recommend rotating your tires every 6,000 miles. Knowing the age of your tires, which can be found by looking at the DOT number stamped on their sidewalls, is important since tire rubber becomes harder and more brittle as it ages, increasing the risk of failure. Choose Tires Wisely Selecting the tires that are best suited for where you drive, how you drive and what you drive helps protect you and your passengers, ensuring your vehicle is prepared for winter weather. When shopping, consider using an online tire guide like Treadwell, which provides personalized recommendations on the best tires for your driving needs. Find the tool online at DiscountTire.com/Treadwell.
