Take on Every Trail with Off-Road Honda SUVs

Built for More than Just the Road Ahead


At Barbour-Hendrick Honda Greenville in Greenville, NC, we know your adventures don’t always stay on the pavement. Whether your weekends are filled with backroad exploring, mountain camping, or trailhead meetups, our lineup of off-road-ready Honda SUVs is ready to go where your sedan won’t.

The Honda TrailSport trim, featured on both the midsize Honda Passport and the spacious Honda Pilot, blends rugged trail features with the everyday convenience drivers love. With terrain tires, Trail Mode technology, and VTM4 AWD systems, these SUVs offer the traction and trail performance to take you confidently off the beaten path, while maintaining the comfort and tech you rely on for your daily drives.

Let’s take a look at what makes the Honda Passport TrailSport and Honda Pilot TrailSport two of the most exciting off-road-ready Honda SUVs on the market today.

Honda Passport TrailSport: Rugged Performance, Modern Style

Designed for adventure, the Honda Passport TrailSport SUV makes exploring rough terrain feel like second nature. From its bold stance to its off-road tuned suspension, this model has the trail-ready gear you need and the high-end finishes you want.

Its midsize dimensions offer a nimble wheelbase for better maneuvering through tight forest paths or rocky switchbacks. And with advanced torque distribution through its i-VTM4® all-wheel drive, it maintains confidence on slippery, uneven, or muddy surfaces.

Top Features of the Passport TrailSport:

  • Trail Mode for Enhanced Traction on Loose Terrain
  • All-Terrain Tires with 18-inch TrailSport Wheels
  • VTM4 AWD with Intelligent Torque Distribution
  • Skid Plates and Extra Ground Clearance
  • 5,000-pound Maximum Towing Capacity

Inside, the Passport TrailSport trim gives you heated front seats, leather upholstery, wireless charging, and a full suite of Honda Sensing® safety tech. This vehicle blends athletic road capabilities with refined interior touches, making it perfect for both trail excursions and highway drives. Additional features include tri-zone climate control, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and a hands-free power tailgate.

Honda Pilot TrailSport: Room for the Crew, Ready for the Trail

If you need an SUV that can carry your family and your gear while still being trail-capable, the Honda Pilot TrailSport checks every box. It’s a three-row SUV built for adventure, combining Trail Mode, powerful performance, and all-terrain confidence with seating for up to eight.

This new model adds off-road suspension tuning, steel skid plates, and a wide track to boost stability across rough terrain. The Pilot TrailSport also integrates a raised ride height and improved damping, giving you a smoother ride whether you're navigating steep hills or uneven forest paths.

Top Features of the Pilot TrailSport:

  • Standard AWD with Trail, Snow, Mud, and Sand Modes
  • 18-inch Wheels Fitted with Terrain Tires
  • Steel Skid Plates to Protect the Undercarriage
  • Fold-Flat Second and Third-Row Seats for Flexible Cargo Space
  • Adaptive Cruise Control with the Honda Sensing® Suite

Additional driver-first touches include a panoramic moonroof, integrated navigation, and a surround-view camera system. Whether you're planning a weekend escape or picking up the kids from school, the Pilot TrailSport gives you the best of both road comfort and off-road strength.

Why the TrailSport Trim Matters

The TrailSport trim brings something extra to your SUV, and it’s more than just an appearance package. These vehicles feature specially tuned suspensions, raised ride heights, increased ground clearance, and underbody protection to support real off-road capability. With tuned chassis systems and intelligent AWD, Honda TrailSport SUVs offer the kind of precise control and confidence that makes even the roughest paths feel manageable.

Other TrailSport-specific upgrades include:

  • Wider Track for Better Handling on Uneven Roads
  • Trail-Optimized Transmission Settings and Torque Vectoring
  • Trail Mode that Adjusts Gear Shift Points and AWD Behavior
  • All-Terrain Tires for Extra Grip in Mud, Sand, or Gravel
  • Reinforced Underbody Components for Rugged Use

And because it's a Honda, you won’t have to compromise on road comfort. Every TrailSport model still offers a comfortable ride, excellent fuel economy, and modern technology features to make every mile enjoyable.

Everyday Comfort, Weekend Capability

Just because these SUVs can handle a trail doesn’t mean they aren’t built for daily life. Inside every Honda Passport TrailSport and Pilot TrailSport, you’ll find the thoughtful touches that make Honda models a driver favorite, from tech-loaded infotainment to flexible storage and smart safety features.

Comfort and Convenience Features Include:

  • Leather-Trimmed and Heated Seating Surfaces
  • Wireless Smartphone Integration and Charging
  • Tri-Zone Climate Control with Rear Seat Vents
  • Rearview Camera with Cross-Traffic Alerts
  • Multiple USB Ports for Front and Rear Passengers

With this balance of comfort, utility, and all-road capability, these SUVs are perfect for drivers who want a road vehicle that’s equally at home in the city or on the trail. Whether it’s a weekend hike, a cross-country road trip, or just the daily grind, the Passport TrailSport and Pilot TrailSport are built to keep up with your lifestyle.
