Interior Design

One area where the Honda Passport at Danville Honda excels is cabin layout. Both the cabin and the cargo area in the Passport have more space than most other vehicles in the midsize SUV class, including the 2021 Toyota Highlander. The 2021 Passport has a total volume of more than 41 cubic feet in the second row. Volume increases to 77.9 cubic feet of storage capacity when the seats are folded down. The Toyota Highlander, in comparison, has only 16 cubic feet in storage space behind the back row of seats, and the maximum storage volume that it holds is 48 cubic feet. The Passport also has more legroom for occupants, especially in the third row, while the third row of seats in the Toyota Highlander can feel small and cramped. The Honda Passport also includes a variety of advanced safety features at the base trim level. It also starts off with a seven-speaker sound system and an eight-inch touchscreen interface with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Other luxury items, including a sunroof and a power liftgate, are added to the EX-L, which is the second trim in the Passport series. The EX-L also has leather upholstery and rear USB charging ports.

Performance and Handling
