Here at Edmunds, we think an SUV could be your answer. LAUREN MCCAY: So you need a car for the hustle and bustle of life. The Trailsport was the right trim for me though you can't go wrong with the EX-L because it too is a good value. For me, it would have been useful because I do plan to do some light off-roading and camping. I'm providing these details because I didn't have this information when I began my search. That's an accurate figure if the EX-L is FWD. Lots of reviewers put the difference between the base model (EX-L) and TS at about five grand. The price difference between the EX-L and Trailsport is actually 2500.00 because most EX-L's are delivered to dealerships with AWD. The rails are important if you plan to mount something to your roof, and fog lights are useful in bad weather. These items aren't offered on the base trim. The Trailsport also has roof rails, fog lights, and navigation. The EX-L and Elite trims have 20-inch wheels. For instance, the Trailsport has 18-inch wheels which are better for going off road. While that is *primarily* true there are some notable … differences. Most of the reviewers were saying all of the trim levels essentially had the same drivetrain/ground clearance and suitability for "light off-roading". First, after reading several reviews I wasn't sure if I should buy one. I recently purchased the 2022 Honda Passport Trailsport which has exceeded my expectations in several ways. Even on the most loose setting, it still feels like it wants to slow you down faster than necessary.Īll those things are relatively minor compared to all the good! It's been quite awhile since I've been this happy with a car! I've found the adaptive cruise control isn't quite as smooth as some other vehicles I've driven. But, it doesn't matter much since my next complaint is lack of wireless Apple Car Play! You'd think for the 2022 model year this would become virtually standard, but it's not an option unfortunately! The wireless charging pad is a bit temperamental, You have to place your phone on it just right or else it'll quit charging after a few seconds. The push button gear selector is taking some getting used to, however it's not quite as bad as I was anticipating. The only negatives I have found so far include: If you want to knock down 30 mpg in an SUV, you'll need to sacrifice the space and powerful V6 and look for a small 4 banger. Again, coming from a V8 F150, so I welcome the extra 5-6 MPG. However, we did get a little snow last weekend and I decided to take it down (and back up) a snowy, muddy, rather steep hill on the back of my property and didn't get stuck!!įor what it is, fuel economy isn't bad! It easily gets the EPA rating and probably a little better if you're careful. Living in Georgia, I've had limited opportunity to test the AWD. It drives silky smooth, plenty of power, handles nice. I'm pleased … with the improvement in ride and handling. I'm coming from an F150 crew cab and don't feel like I'm giving up all that much passenger space, at least in the front. We are a family of 3 and not too far from being empty nesters, so have no need for a 3rd row. I've only had my Passport Trailsport for a couple weeks and 800 miles, but so far it has been the perfect vehicle! Tons of room passenger room and cargo space. Lacks the TrailSport's special styling but otherwise tops the line with: Heated wiper rest zone to prevent icing.18-inch alloys with more aggressive tire tread.Parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking).Adaptive cruise control (can maintain a driver-set distance between your vehicle and the car in front).Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane). Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios).Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse).Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration.
