2019 Honda Passport EX-L: The Ultimate Companion for Mid-South Adventures

The 2019 Honda Passport EX-L in Lunar Silver Metallic is more than just a means of transportation; it is a passport to the diverse landscapes of the Mid-South. Imagine starting your Saturday morning in Jonesboro, loading up the spacious cargo area with gear for a weekend of exploring the rolling plains and local parks. This SUV is designed for those who appreciate the balance of a refined daily driver and the rugged capability required for spontaneous detours. Whether you are navigating the historic streets of a close-knit community or heading out toward the Mississippi River for a quiet afternoon, this vehicle provides the composure and comfort you need.

Life in the Delta region often requires a vehicle that can handle a variety of roles, from the professional commute to the family road trip. The Passport EX-L excels in these scenarios, offering a commanding view of the road and a sophisticated presence that fits right in at a local community festival or a business meeting. Its athletic stance and thoughtful design make it a standout choice for residents who value reliability without sacrificing style. When you are driving through the heart of Dyersburg, you will appreciate how this SUV blends into the small-city atmosphere while providing the modern amenities that make every journey more enjoyable.

Performance and Capability for Every Terrain

Under the hood of this 2019 Honda Passport EX-L lies a robust 3.5L V-6 gasoline direct injection engine. This powerplant is equipped with i-VTEC VCM variable valve control and cylinder deactivation, allowing it to deliver a potent 280HP while optimizing efficiency during highway cruising. Whether you are merging onto the interstate or navigating the flat, fertile farmland around Blytheville, the 9-speed automatic transmission provides smooth, decisive shifts. The inclusion of overdrive transmission and lock-up transmission technology ensures that the engine operates at peak performance across a wide range of speeds.

The capability of this SUV is further enhanced by the All Wheel Drive system, specifically the i-VTM4 automatic full-time AWD. This system works in tandem with the Intelligent Traction Management System selectable mode transmission, allowing you to adapt to various surface conditions with ease. For those moments when the pavement ends or the weather turns, the Agile Handling Assist electro-mechanical limited slip differential provides extra confidence by managing torque distribution. The Independent front suspension with Strut front suspension and the Multi-link rear suspension ensure a stable, comfortable ride regardless of the terrain.

Efficiency is also a key part of the Passports DNA. The Idle-Stop auto stop-start engine helps conserve fuel during city driving, while the Eco Assist ECO feedback display gauge and Eco Assist driver selectable drivetrain mode encourage more mindful driving habits. With a 19 city / 24 hwy MPG rating, this vehicle is well-suited for long stretches of highway or navigating the urban-rural blend of the surrounding areas. The Aluminum engine block and Aluminum cylinder head contribute to a lighter overall weight, further aiding the vehicle's nimble handling and responsive nature.

The Leather front seat upholstery and Leather rear seat upholstery provide a premium feel, while the Leather and metal-look steering wheel adds a touch of sophistication to the drivers interface. The Heated Front Bucket Seats ensure comfort during chilly mornings, and the Power driver seat with 8-way directional controls—including 2-way power lumbar—allows you to find the perfect driving position. The Memory settings for the drivers seat and door mirrors mean that two different drivers can quickly return to their preferred configurations with the touch of a button.

The interior is designed to accommodate five passengers comfortably, with 60-40 folding rear seats that feature manual reclining and manual fore and aft adjustments. This flexibility is perfect for those weekend trips where you need to balance passenger space with cargo needs.

Inside, you will find thoughtful touches like Chrome and metal-look interior accents, Fade interior courtesy lights, and Manual rear side window sunblinds to keep the cabin cool and private for rear-seat passengers.

Climate management is handled by the Dual-zone front climate control and a Rear climate control system with separate controls, ensuring that everyone stays comfortable regardless of their preference. The Power moonroof with express open/close activation allows you to bring a bit of the outdoors inside, adding an airy feel to the cabin. For added convenience, the Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock and Remote Engine Start allow you to prepare the vehicle before you even step outside. With 3 12V power outlets and a Covered floor console storage, the Passport is as practical as it is comfortable.

Advanced Safety and Driver Assistance

Safety is a cornerstone of the Honda brand, and the 2019 Passport EX-L is packed with features designed to protect you and your passengers. The Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) + FCW forward collision mitigation and Pedestrian detection work proactively to help avoid or reduce the severity of potential impacts. When cruising on the highway, the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) help maintain a safe distance from other vehicles and keep you centered in your lane. These systems provide an extra layer of security, whether you are driving through the busy streets of a regional hub or on a quiet rural road.

Exterior Design and Visual Appeal

The Lunar Silver Metallic exterior of this Passport EX-L is both modern and timeless. It features a Black grille and Body-colored bumpers that give it a sleek, integrated look. The 20 x 8-inch black aluminum wheels provide a bold stance, complemented by the Rear lip spoiler and Black bodyside cladding. The LED low beam headlights and LED front fog lights ensure excellent visibility in all conditions, while the Auto high-beam headlights automatically adjust to oncoming traffic, making night driving safer and more convenient.

Every detail of the exterior has been considered, from the Integrated Turn Signal Mirrors to the Deep tinted windows that provide privacy and protection from the sun.
