2027 Honda Passport TrailSport Joins the Off-Road Ground-Clearance Conversation

· 1 min read

Honda has taken the TrailSport trim of its 2027 Passport well past cosmetic off-road styling. New axles and a redesigned subframe deliver a genuine suspension re-engineering, not merely a lift kit, and the result is ground clearance that now stands alongside the Jeep Wrangler's. For a mid-size SUV built in volume rather than a body-on-frame off-roader, that is a notable benchmark to reach. It signals Honda's TrailSport program is maturing from trim-level dress-up into real hardware.

With reporting from The Drive.
