2027 Honda Passport TrailSport: An Inch and a Third of Lift, Engineered From the Ground Up

· 1 min read

Honda's engineers didn't round up. The 2027 Passport TrailSport gains exactly 1.38 inches of ride height, a figure precise enough to suggest just how much recalculating went into it — because Honda says achieving that lift meant reengineering the suspension itself, not simply propping the body higher on longer springs. For a vehicle built to carry Honda's off-road ambitions, that kind of ground-up revision speaks to how seriously the TrailSport treats every fraction of clearance.

With reporting from Car and Driver.
