2019 Honda Passport starts production after L.A. debut — autoblog.com

The Passport is being produced in the same Alabama factory as the Pilot, Ridgeline and Odyssey -- vehicles that all share a common platform. In fact, so similar are the Passport, Pilot and Ridgeline that they share the same 3.5-liter V6 engine and virtually the same dashboard design. Honda says this plant has built more than 4.7 million vehicles and engines since 2001. Four Passport trim levels will be available at launch: Sport, EX-L, Touring and Elite. Even the Sport trim is nicely equipped with the full Honda Sensing driver assistance suite (adaptive cruise, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, etc.), LED headlights and three-zone automatic climate control. You also get an eight-way power driver's seat and all the blacked-out trim in the world.
