Words by: Adam Allen<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, Honda has reintroduced the Passport nameplate, which sounds better than Government Sanctioned Travel Document.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It can\u2019t be denied that \u2018Passport\u2019 rolls of the tongue much easier than its clunker counterpart. Those of you who may have plied the roads within the United States between 1993 and 2002 are likely familiar with the name (we Canucks would recognize these models as a badge-engineered Isuzu Rodeos) and it also graced the fuel tanks on variants of Honda\u2019s stupendously popular Super Cub motorcycle. Not one to throw away the brand equity that the Passport name carries, Honda coaxed it out of retirement last year hoping to tap into that nostalgic feeling of adventures into the unknown and off the beaten path. Honda also hopes that it\u2019ll resonate with families who align themselves with that rugged, exploratory lifestyle but who\u2019ve outgrown the CR-V and for whom the Pilot is too big. The Passport, then, instantly becomes the \u2018Goldilocks\u2019 choice within the SUV offerings from Honda, nicely filling a gaping hole in their current lineup at the same time.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honda\u2019s Global Light Truck Platform shines brightest underpinning the Passport.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These bones make up the foundation not only for the Passport you see here but also the plus-sized Pilot and the Ridgeline pickup. When drove the Pilot some years back, we weren\u2019t enamored with the suspension tuning- it felt a bit half-baked and we didn\u2019t much care for the then-new 9-speed automatic gearbox. Then we flogged the Ridgeline pickup later on and came away impressed (it\u2019s a vehicle that offers the best of a pickup that also drives like a car, so yeah, we liked it) but we did find some dynamic miscues that could have used some polishing. Our Passport Touring tester is the more completely realized manifestation of the three, and it fixes our biggest gripes convincingly- it shifted gears smoothly as you would expect from a Honda and the ride is one of the best you\u2019ll experience in the segment. It isn\u2019t as tautly buttoned down as Honda\u2019s perennially brilliant Accord but it nearly matches the excellent sedan in terms of suppleness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C\u2019mon, admit it. You danced a little jig when you found out the Passport has managed to keep a turbocharged four cylinder out of the engine bay, didn\u2019t you?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Guilty as charged, and if a burly V6 seems wrong in today\u2019s day and age where downsized puffers are de rigueur<\/em>, then we don\u2019t want to be right. Apparently, neither does Honda because they chose to keep the engine found in many of their larger offerings on the menu for the midsized Passport. Now that the masterful VTEC screamers if yore are a speck in the rearview mirror, perhaps it\u2019s worth reminding that Honda knows its way around internal combustion engines quite well, thank you very much. Their expertise is on full display every time you poke the throttle with enthusiasm and listen to the trademark snarl as it approaches the redline. It doesn\u2019t make stump-pulling twist off the line- torque still peaks at a relatively high 4,700 rpm- but it provides good power and will feel strong to the audience in which it\u2019s intended for. Another plus in the drivetrain column which we eluded to earlier: the transmission feels sorted and smooth and never once bumbled around like we remember when we drove the Pilot. We also give high marks to the brake feel which also seems an improvement over the Ridgeline we drove more recently, and the steering lacks meaningful feel but provides confidence with its on-centre behavior and precision. We wished for a snowstorm so we could better peel away the layers of the Passport\u2019s i-VTM4 AWD but Mother Nature could only provide a few centimeters. Shod with a good set of Bridgestone Blizzaks, the Passport was utterly unfazed. It also has a substantial amount of ground clearance-206 millimeters- meaning that if you do encounter deep snow or even a gnarly access road to a pal\u2019s cottage the Passport will not ever feel out of its element, even if serious off-roading is discouraged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interior is the same as the Pilot, just not as big.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

An accurate assessment, that.  Anyone who has ever spent time in a Pilot will feel instantly at home because the Passport uses the exact same bits as its big brother. For those who haven\u2019t, you should know that it\u2019s a very comfortable place to spend time on trips short and long, and that it can hold a huge amount of your stuff thanks in part to clever storage nooks throughout and a centre console that is large enough to hold a Shih Tzu. Our tester wore Touring trim, so it had every nicety that Honda offers including ventilated seats, wireless phone charging plus a heated steering wheel and remote start, perfect for the deep freeze that gripped us while the Passport was under our care. The infotainment system has vastly improved- starting with the simple edition of a sorely missed volume knob-and they only thing we complained about was that tuning the satellite radio stations was not easy and not something you should be doing while driving. A simple workaround for this? Preset your stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What might go wrong?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While we happily bid goodbye to Honda\u2019s LaneWatch system (when you turn right,  camera activates filling the infotainment screen with a redundant image of what\u2019s filling the side mirror) and applaud Honda for its Honda Sensing suite of safety technologies, but they are far too overzealous. On a rural two-lane road whilst rounding a bend, the Passport thought an oncoming car was a threat and jammed on the brakes without warning. Did we mention that we longed for a traditional gear lever instead of the push button setup Honda is so sweet on these days? At least the transmission the buttons are connected to is hugely improved, but we wonder why Passport engineers bothered to specify paddle shifters on the steering wheel when they\u2019re sorta useless. Pull for an upshift or downshift and you can sense the computers thinking \u201cso you want to shift a gear\u2026now? Are you sure?\u201d, followed by the ratio swap. And while we\u2019re harping on the drivetrain\u2019s electronics, how about we relax the programming a little in Sport mode? While we welcome the ability to wake up throttle response and liven up the shift points of the gearbox it\u2019s simply to frenetic to be used in many cases. We got some interesting looks by pedestrians as we drove by at the speed limit, the engine almost screaming along at unnecessary high revs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should I buy a Honda Passport?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Passport plays in a crowded segment with stiff competition coming from the Ford Edge, Hyundai Santa Fe and a host of others. Even in a field of accomplished entries, we think the Passport gets the nod for best in class. It offers a hard to ignore blend of excellent road manners, astute off-road capabilities and a commodious, comfortable interior that\u2019ll surely please those shopping around; and there\u2019s a good ol\u2019 V6 under the hood that sings a familiar tune that speaks to Honda\u2019s expertise as an engine company that happens to build cars and SUVs. Honda may have dug into the history books to revive a familiar name, but the Passport has what it takes to satisfy today\u2019s most stringent car shopper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
