Ground Clearance and Approach/Departure Angles

One of the most important factors for off-road capability is ground clearance. The Honda Passport TrailSport has a ground clearance of 8.1 inches, which is enough to clear most obstacles on moderate trails. It also has great approach and departure angles (21.1° / 24.3°). With these measurements, the TrailSport is able to tackle the trails with confidence.

All-Wheel-Drive System

The Honda Passport TrailSport comes standard with Honda's Intelligent Variable Torque Management (i-VTM4) all-wheel-drive system. This system can send up to 70% of the engine's torque to the rear wheels or to individual wheels as needed. This provides excellent traction on slippery surfaces and in off-road conditions.

Terrain Management System

The Honda Passport TrailSport also comes standard with Honda's Intelligent Terrain Management System. This system allows the driver to select from four different driving modes: Normal, Snow, Sand, and Mud. Each mode adjusts the vehicle's suspension and drivetrain settings to optimize performance for the specific terrain. The Honda Passport TrailSport comes standard with all-terrain tires. These tires are designed to provide good traction on a variety of surfaces, including rocks, mud, and sand.

Suspension

The Honda Passport TrailSport has a suspension system that is tuned for off-road driving. It features heavy-duty shock absorbers and springs, which provide a comfortable ride on rough roads and trails. The suspension also has a long travel length, which allows the vehicle to absorb bumps and dips without bottoming out.

Off-Roading Performance

The Honda Passport TrailSport is a very capable off-road vehicle. It can handle a variety of terrain, including light mud, sand, and rocky trails. It is also able to climb moderately steep inclines.

Overall, the Honda Passport TrailSport is a great choice for those who want a vehicle that is both capable off-road and comfortable on the road.
